Krste Misirkov, 1903, "our fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers have always been called Bulgarians"

ALEXANDER I OF MAKEDON RULER OF MAKEDON PARTICIPATED IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN 504BC - AN HONOR RESERVED ONLY FOR GREEKS. HE WAS SON OF THE GREEKS NAMED AMYNTAS I KING OF MAKEDON AND EURYDICE.

ONLY A GREEK CAN BE A MACEDONIAN - MAKEDON FROM THE ORIGINS OF BEING GREEK AND HELLAS

@staskoteina

FYROM nationalists spread propaganda that Greeks banned the word "macedonia" (ignoring that we use the name ourselves) . They constantly lie through their teeth though the use of hyperbole and outright historical fabrications. Unfortunately many don't understand the scope of their lies (and the mess we've made of our economy has hurt our credibility). There is only one out for us. We must become strong again. Strength is the only thing some understand.

this video is very right,thanks to historical documents we know about the origin of great alexander,macedonia is greek but a little part which named Paionia the new skopje

Slavs of Skopje have no link or proof to Macedonians or Macedonia.

They have propaganda.

@brygianmode My friend, no current nation's population is directly descended from any one particular group of people, besides those who were the first to migrate out of Africa. Everybody is mixed, and always was. Even the Ancient Hellenes were a mixture of native peoples of the Balkans and Anatolians. King Pelops, who gave his name to the Peloponnese, was Anatolian. That's just one example. Anyone who preaches racial purity is uneducated, and understands nothing about human history.

@JonathanGiann There is much evidence to point to the ancient heritage of the modern Macedonians living in the Republic of Macedonia. However, if we take your viewpoint, than there is even less prove that the population of Greece are descendants from the Ancient Greeks, or for that matter the Ancient Macedonians. There is much evidence for anyone that is willing to rationally investigate this issue to conclude that the Macedonian have a continual cultural that is continues for over 5000 years.

@mskidi I presented ancient sources that are far from trivial and most definitely not quoted out of context. It can be overwhelming to contemplate that what you have been taught is simply not correct, or at the very least needs further investigations. We are continually discovering new information that is separate from political influence and falsification of history.

[JonathanGiann]

@brygianmode I heard Ljubco Georgievski bring up a good point. Say for example, there was concrete evidence that the Ancient Macedonians, and the Ancient Hellenes were completely different, that still doesn't prove that the population of FYROM are the descendants of the Ancient Macedonians.
