Alexander the Great (BBC Documentary) 4 - Greek Macedonians

Alexander the Great, the man that spread the Hellenism to the entire world.

Greeks are those who have Hellenic ways education language culture ideals heroes and beliefs, its not racial criterion (this also said the ancient Greeks)

All the naming (people places creatures etc) in ancient Macedonia were Greek terms.

Ensample ...
Macedon is a Greek word it means (tall people)(makednos=tall, length)

Alexander is a Greek compound term, it means (he who wards off other men, defender of men) word element (alex=to ward off, to defend) - (ander=the man)

Bucephalus, Alexander's horse, is a Greek compound term, it means "ox-head"

Hephaestion the best friend of Alexander
It means in Greek volcano--the fire
(Hephaestio=volcano)-(Hephaestus=The god of fire)

Ptolemy--Ptolemaios the Great Macedonian general derived from Greek (polemaios) meaning aggressive-warlike

Alexander sent to Athens three hundred Persian panoplies to be set up to Athena in the acropolis, he ordered this inscription to be attached: "Alexander, son of Philip and the Greeks save the Lacedaimonians, set up these spoils from the barbarians dwelling in Asia"

-- I am Slavic ,, and it is unbeatable fact Alexander the great was Greek ,,,  Masedonians in FYROM , are Slavs something between Bulgarians and Serbs ,...

[oasitis]

the greatest Greek

[ModernWarfare2vsODST]

I think macedonia FYROM is entitled to feel proud of Alexander but im sorry he was Greek so dont hound Greece about it. The Slavic people who now populate Macedonia are a product of the fall/decline of the Roman Empire and the great western migrations. People from most likely the RUssian steppes populated Macedonia. If im wrong someone with greater expertise extrapolate (:

The whole truth about the true history of Macedonia is in these 4 videos.

Macedonia is part of Greek history and has nothing to do with this small state that stole the name and history of Greece. Now you know what Macedonia = Greece and not FYROM

@tnash71 That is probably one of the most ignorant things I have ever read on YouTube, and that is really saying something. I am an American, I eat a couple times a day, sometimes its meat, sometimes its a salad. What are these gluttonous sacrificial rights you are alluding to? This should be good, if you even have it in you to respond.

@HellenicSacredKin ΕΧΕΙΣ ΑΠΟΛΥΤΟ ΔΙΚΑΙΟ...!!!

[tnash71]

@UserUK201 The Americans are horrible. They slaughtered trillions of animals and engaged in gluttony as part of their sacrificial rituals to serve their senses.

[1976gs]

How do Ancient Egyptians relate to Islamic Egyptians, what became of the original Egyptians? Are Islamic Egyptians Arabs in the classic sense? Thanks.
