@Geliefde Liefde Listen you have no right to call yourself Macedonian because Alexander the Great was Greek. The ruins prove it. And please stop that childish argument that there was no "Greece". We wouldn't be speaking Greek, if we were africans as your stupid books teach you . ok? 40% of your population are Albanians. What "Macedonia" nation are you talking about?

[@geliefdeliefde2339]

theoaristi53 I have every right to call myself Macedonian and all peoples call me Macedonian but no one calls you Macedonian because the whole world knows that Alexander the Macedonian is called Macedonian because of the Macedonian Nation and he has nothing to do with the Turks and the Arabs of Greece. You speak Greek because of the Greek Church not because you are Greeks. And I am only childish with people who are childish :D You have no right to call yourself Greek for there is no such thing as Greek even in the Greek Constitution there is no Greek ethnicity because Greek today is only religious identity and even the Greek Church says that. 380's AD: John Chrysostom was the Archbishop of Constantinople and is known for his preaching and literary homilies. When analysing the biblical chapter Thessalonians 8-10, which refers to Macedonia, he makes the following comment: ''For this nation of the Macedonians, before the coming of Christ, was renowned, and celebrated everywhere more than the Romans. And the Romans were admired on this account, that they took them captive. For the actions of the Macedonian king exceeded all report, who, setting out from a little city indeed, yet subdued the world. Wherefore also the Prophet saw him, a winged leopard, showing his swiftness, his vehemence, his fiery nature, his suddenly in a manner flying over the whole world with the trophies of his victory. And they say, that hearing from a certain philosopher, that there were infinite worlds, he groaned bitterly, that when they were numberless, he had not conquered even one. So high-minded was he, and high-souled, and celebrated everywhere. And with the fame of the king the glory of the nation also kept pace. For he was called “Alexander, the Macedonian.” So that what took place there was also naturally much talked of. For nothing can be concealed that relates to the illustrious. The Macedonians then were not inferior to the Romans.'' www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf113.iv.v.ii.html#iv.v.ii-Page_328

[@theoaristi53]

Here we go again. You call us Turks, Arabs, gypsies and so on. But let me tell you this. According to your logic jews were not existing before 1948 either. John Chrysostom. He was Greek too!!! Tell me what the words Chrysos and stoma mean!!! See you don't know... He wrote the liturgy that we practice every Sunday in the church. All in G-R-E-E-K!!! And we were speaking this language before christianity. Understand? Don't try to teach me fake history. The was no a fucking nation nation of Macedonia back then. Otherwise the period of Alexander would had been called Macedonian period not Hellenistic. Your proofs are just a joke..And since you claim that you know the Bible please read John 12:20-50. You will be suprised. Let me help you: "Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the festival. " www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2012:20-50. See?

No Greece is Stupid (: because it thinks it can be Roman Macedonian Phoenician and Greek in the same time :D

[@octapusxft]

Why Phoenician? The last territory of the Roman empire was what is now most of the Balcans so the residents of these countries (not just the modern greeks) have a good reason so claim some connection to them. As about the Macedonian part : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ancient_Greek_tribes There were several tribes that identified as a certain states politically and as (ancient) Greeks ethnically/culturally. Of course this can be interpreted differently depending on what perspective one has. What I am trying to say is that both answers in that question were correct ethnically (as in ancient Macedonians are considered ancient Greeks) but the Macedonian answer was correct if one takes politically (The ancient Macedonians were an independent state). Beyond nationalistic biases etc it is clear that this question was too vague, intended to confuse the contestant with two "correct" answers

[@geliefdeliefde2339]

octapusxft Well because the Greek Letters are Phoenician and Greece claims they are not Phoenician but Greek (: As for Macedonia I am a Christian I know very well that Macedonia is not Greece and that the Macedonians are not Greeks in the Holy Bible They show the national flag of Macedonia Alexander the Macedonian belongs to the Macedonian People and Macedonia not greece or any other country.

He was born in Pella, Kingdom of Macedon, thus making his nationality Macedonian. It's simple logic really. So that answer was completely right to be Macedonian. Though I probably wouldn't have used that flag and maybe opted for a Macedonian sun on a plain white background.

[@PeterMilanovski]

Have you read the scientific paper on the Rosetta Stone being deciphered? Ptolemy and Kleopatra spoke Slavic Macedonian, the middle text was found to be ancient Slavic Macedonian Sanskrit text and we know that they spoke Slavic Macedonian because the same language is still spoken today by modern day Macedonians! Philip II conquered the Greeks which is why Alexander the Great had greek troops in his Macedonian army! There's no longer any claim to Macedonia from the Greeks!

[@Streetw1s3r]

@@PeterMilanovski No they spoke the lost Ancient Macedonian language which was unrelated to Greek or Koine. And it has very little to do with our modern language however some words did transfer over. I haven't seen this scientific paper you are referring to but to suggest they spoke Slavic, you just make us look stupid. It's embarrassing really.

[@JapanMonAmourTheJapanHouse]

@@Streetw1s3r According to historians and linguists the emerging evidence since the 1970s is that Macedonian was a dialect of very early Greek, some historians call it Proto-Greek.

[@JapanMonAmourTheJapanHouse]

@@Streetw1s3r The point is this though as any historian will tell you Macedonia was a Hellenic Kingdom and formed part of the Greek ethnos. The problem here is how the question was put because the researcher was ignorant of ancient history and modern balkan history and so confused the modern Republic of Macedonia (a modern slavic state created in 1944) with the ancient Kingdom of Macedonia in northern Greece. There was no Greece before Philip came along (Just independent republics and Kingdoms), but a united imperial Greece came along thanks to Philip. So since Greece was a united country the correct answer would be Greek for Alexander,. However the Macedonians considered themselvs as Greeks long before Philip came along. Of course the correct answer would have been..................'both'. Alexander was both Macedonian and Greek, like Leonidas was both Spartan and Greek.

[@PeterMilanovski]

@@Streetw1s3r no! The ancient Macedonian language was never lost! If you are or understand modern Slavic Macedonian and someone read's the ancient Slavic Macedonian Sanskrit text, you will be surprised that you can actually understand it, even after all that time! You should download the document and see for yourself, you will understand why the greeks and Egyptians can't read it, because it's pure Slavic Macedonian! And it's a far more advanced alphabet than anything else of that time! Latin and therefore English is based on the Slavic Macedonian writing system! Take the word Greek for example, it comes from the Macedonian word Grejci pronounced Greytsi meaning those who came! The Romans Latinised it into Greco from Greytsi and the English word greek comes from the Latin word Greco! The Greeks were called "those who came" because they are not European! They showed up after the volcano on Santorini island erupted in 1500Bc! The only known people who arrived then are the Israelites and that story is in the book of exodus in the bible! They are one of the 12 lost Israelite tribes!

Of course Aristotle was Greek. But his father Nichomachus was court physician to Alexander's grandfather, who was also a Macedonian king. After Aristotle studied in Athens under Plato, he was invited back by Alexander's father Philip II (also king of Macedonia) to tutor his son. What's more, the Macedonians had their own language, which was only gradually replaced by the Koine Greek starting in the 4th century BC, around the time of Alexander's birth. Much like the prominence of English today.

Slavic languages didn't exist back then. The glagolitic script was only made in the 8th century. And also, a not too small amount of words in most modern languages have some sort of greek descent. In all truth, you cannot argue with the macedonians, since they have their OWN proof if he was macedonian or greek, and we actually can't be sure whether he was really greek. We don't know much about history in the first place and anything could've happened. Along with that, we don't know what's true or myth and we can never know what REALLY happened. So, only proof which could be anywhere from 1%-99% possible we could believe. And even though we find groundbraking proof that states that he was definitely greek, the macedonians, well... they won't really care! What they want to believe and will believe is that Alexandar of Macedon was the great "Macedonian Hero!", and they won't give a damn shit about what other people say or think. That's the glory of being human: A person can think: "1+1 is zero" and no matter how wrong they are, they proudly would say it to the rest of the people in this world, no matter how much they are embarassing. Similar to flat-earthers who are 100% convinced that the governmant is lying to us about the earth's round shape. No matter how much they get made fun of they'll stand strong.

He was an ANCIENT Macedonian, and of a royal house, hence Greek (of the Argeades dynasty, originally from Argos in Peloponnese). Moden "Macedonians" have nothing to do with the historical Macedonians of Classical Antiquity. They are a mixed population consisting of Albanians, Roma, as well as Bulgarians and Slavophone ex-Greeks. In our modern times, the terms Macedonia and Macedonian only exist in a geographical, and up to a point cultural, but certainly not ethnic context. No discernibly distinctive descendants of the Hellenic Ancient Macedonians exist as a separate nation nowadays. Their offspring is probably mixed genetically in the populations of Greece, FYROM, Bulgaria and probably even Albania. But there's no way to tell. To cut a long story short: Ancient Macedonians were either Hellenic or, at the very least, thoroughly Hellenised already by the times of Philip and Alexander. Modern Macedonians exist only in the geographical sense and are spread in 3 or 4 countries. The citizens of F.Y.R.O.M. may claim neither exclusivity in being direct descendants of the Ancient Macedonians nor any direct special ethnic affinity to them. At the very least, they speak a Slavic language (some linguists claiming it's actually an offshoot form of Bulgarian) plus their ethos, customs, music and overall culture have nothing 'Macedonian' per se about them: they're distinctly Southern Slavic, with very much in common with those of Serbians, Montenegrins and esp. Bulgarians.

Try selling that to ANY decent scholar in the world, and I promise you'll be delegated to the laughing stock category! At any rate, even if they weren't indeed originally Greek, they certainly had way more to do with the Greek culture, way of life, language and customs than you could ever possibly do.

What they want to believe and will believe is that Alexandar of Macedon was the great "Macedonian Hero!", and they won't give a damn shit about what other people say or think. That's the glory of being human: A person can think: "1+1 is zero" and no matter how wrong they are, they proudly would say it to the rest of the people in this world, no matter how much they are embarassing. Similar to flat-earthers who are 100% convinced that the governmant is lying to us about the earth's round shape. No matter how much they get made fun of they'll stand strong. This is true for everyone who beieves in something completely outlandish: even tho it's completely bizzare and stupid what some people believe, it still might be at least 0.0001% true... At the end of the day, no one even slightly cares. Seriously, why is anyone to care about some great king in the BCE? NO ONE NOW A DAYS PAYS ATTENTION IN HISTORY CLASS TO BEGIN WITH!!! This entire conflict is complicated and we really should just move on to something else.

[@leonenaj]

@leonenaj As opposed to the Macedonian flag which bears the symbol of the ancient empire and the name itself. Your country is the one that has no significance to the ancient peoples, since the ancient peoples weren't even unified. They were just scattered city-states.

Alexander the Great's Mother is Slavic decendant not specified Skopian and his Father was 100% Greek and where he was born was never part of FYROM even in your oldest country maps!!! Get your facts straight and then speak cause you have no idea

[@tasoslotet271]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYPVpY2YerKVrbs and many many others. as do historical records etc.. deal with it he was from Greek history and find your own since the beginning of your nation.(somewhere in the Byzantium times if I am not mistaken)

[@ba10203]

YES he was Macedonia,but at that times Macedonia was a kingdom of Greece,all macedonians were speaking greek(ancint macedonian tombs can prove that)they believed in the 2 Gods of Olympus n they had a common army against the outsiders!There is no big difference from the US as they r today!Apart from that Alexanders teacher was Aristotle n I think there is no doubt on this,not a single person would say something different...Aristotle was Greek for suuuure!!

[@alexandroscomingaftermonke596]

The tv show already apologised for this. Why? Because Alexander, Aristotle and Macedonians are Greeks :)

[@nickkasnioski6713]

Hahaha haha

[@dimitrishavoc7144]

The term Greece was not used at that time. When we refer to ancient Greece, we mean all the cities and regions using the same language, same religion, customs etc. So, Makedonia was Greek the same way Sparta, Crete, Athens, Corinthos and many other cities/ alliances were. The question was misguiding and I hope they got their money at the end

[@PeterMilanovski]

Unfortunately it's not! The Rosetta Stone has shown that the Macedonians were already Slavic Macedonian from the time of Ptolemy Kleopatra and Alexander the Great! It's funny how just one old stone can change history and make you look like you have been lied to, you probably don't know this either pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11260506/

[@JapanMonAmourTheJapanHouse]

@@PeterMilanovski The third script on the Rosetta stone is Demotic Egyptian and not SLavo-Macedonian (i.e Serbo-Bulgarian). Please be informed, Egyptians did NOT speak Serbo- Bulgarian. And please stop giving links to fake genetic studies that were peer reviewed and trashed 20 years ago. Tthe study you gave a link to, That is a 20 year old study carried out by a Medical immunologist, NOT a population geneticist called Arnaiz Villena and the study was trashed. He used highly flawed methodology that used only a single gene marker. A single gene marker is incapable of giving information about ancestry,. HLA locus is just a single autosomal locus that cannot be used to infer relationships between populations. The Villena study was peer reviewed by three respected geneticists, Luca Cavalli-Sforza, Neil Risch and Alberto Piazza who pointed out the scientific flaws in Villena' methodology stating that "Using the resullts from a single gene marker is unreilable and unacceptable practice in population genetics giving rise to anomalous and erroneous results which contradict history, geography, anthropology and all prior population genetic studies on these groups" No multiple marker analysis has EVER duplicate Arnaiz- Villena's results. Indeed Villena later did a multimarker study and completely contradicted his first results.

[@leonenaj]

@lukepappe Oh, of course, for Greeks DNA analysis doesn't count as research. You, of course, are better than DNA, and you can prove it wrong. By the way, that was total sarcasm if you didn't catch on.

[@bullshitstomper9417]

Greece has many ancient art affects kept well throughout time never anything to do with Alexander though Greece was much smaller back then Alexander was born in CURRENT day Greece There is a book named Alexander the Great 👍 go read it. This is all NWO cults creating trouble and hate when you should love thy neighbour and this Maco loves Greek chix. Ha ha

[@CtrlAltDltEsc]

Personally I'd think it terrible anachronism to say he was Greek, simply because Pella is part of modern day Greece. The Macedonians were thought of as barbaric and a separate people, ignoring the Greek ancestry (Hercules and Achilles) claimed by the royal family. If Alexander was Greek, how did he and Philip II so famously "conquer Greece", I wonder? There is a clear delineation between warring Greek states and conquest by foreign nations. This was Macedonian conquest.

[@vasilissex1219]

Alecander the Great was Greek. As an independent archaeologist from USA i confirm this as a fact. It is simple. These guys have have been stollen $20,000+ from this production, thererfore must follow legal way.

[@geliefdeliefde2339]

No Alexander is a Macedonian never greek he never even heard the word greek :D

[@vasilissex1219]

Geliefde Liefde You have no idea. Therefore as a professional i do not want to start a discussion with you. You can talk with your friends and you can all agree between you. But your conclusions will never have a scientific interest. You are only a victim of political manipulation and interests. So....

[@PeterMilanovski]

@@vasilissex1219 maybe you should Google Tracing The Script And The Language Of The Ancient Macedonians PDF, the scientific paper discusses how the main body of text on the Rosetta Stone was deciphered and found to be ancient Slavic Macedonian Sanskrit text! And they spoke then as the modern day Macedonians do today! I'm afraid old chum that you have been mislead by greek propaganda, it's carved into stone, you can't get better than that! Ptolemy Kleopatra and Alexander the Great spoke Slavic Macedonian! There's nothing greek about that old boy!

[@JapanMonAmourTheJapanHouse]

@@PeterMilanovski Is that so?? So maybe you can translate this piece of Macedonian text, because I'm Greek and I can understand it _*"ΘΕΤΙΜΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΔΙΟΝΥΣΟΦΟΝΤΟΣ ΤΟ ΤΕΛΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΤΟΝ ΓΑΜΟΝ ΚΑΤΑΓΡΑΦΟ ΚΑΙ ΤΑΝ ΑΛΛΑΝ ΠΑΣΑΝ ΓΥΝΑΙΚΟΝ ΚΑΙ ΧΗΡΑΝ ΚΑΙ ΠΑΡΘΕΝΟΝ.

Alexander the 3rd was a Macedopian indeed. But Macedonians were and are Greeks !! Give them the prize !

No as you can see they have the Macedonian Flag there (: Alexander the Macedonian is from the Macedonian People :D

ofcourse he is Macedonian, not "modern greek" with turkish roots

[@E45F678]

Genetic evidence shows that Greeks, by and large, are descended from Greeks. You Slavs of Skopjie are descended from Bulgarians, Turks and a smattering of others. You're not related to Alexander the Great in any way, but it's flattering that you'd try to steal Greek history. Shows how much it's worth, you see. Too bad, so sad ... you'll never have it.

[@cANN0N97]

So.. People decide who they are... OK.. My father is Macedonian, my mother is macedonian. Can I be greek?? NO! Even if I say I'm greek, I'm still Macedonian! Why? Because Macedonian blood flows through my veins.. And that's who I am! Now tell me... How can Alexander the Great be greek, when Macedonian blood flows through him??? Please tell me!

[@makedoncheto]

THE VIDEO SPEAKS FOR ITSELF....... greeks may lie to the world..... but the truth is Alexander the great is Macedonian. Greece was invented in 1830, the word greece never existed in the ancient times, it was just the city states.. eg sparta, athens... ect.... Macedonia was never part of the city states because the Macedonians did not speak KOINE language like the other city states and were called barbarians for that reason. Macedonia was a monarchy not a democracy like the city states...

[@Torreto1997]

jajajaajajaja as a spanish and a fan of history I have studied history for countless hours and I can say with confidence that this answer is completely wrong.firstly, because today's so-called "north Macedonia" has nothing to do with the name Macedonia nor with the ancient Macedonians of Alexander the Great.The present state of northern Macedonia is of purely Slavic origin. The language spoken is a variant of the Bulgarian language. the inhabitants of this country have albanian, serbian, bulgarian and roma dna.in no case Macedonians.they are simply exploiting the corruption of Greek politicians to mislead the rest of the world.this state was built in 1991.all the lies they say to themselves and to the rest of the world are futile because anyone believe them and we all know the truth which is that Alexander the Great was a Greek king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia. The word Macedonian is purely Greek and the Macedonians were an ancient Greek term like the Spartans, the Athenians, the Corinthians, etc. all of whom were Greeks who lived in separate cities-states but they were all Greeks. unfortunately for our friends from the false "northern macedonia" truth is taught in all schools and major universities of europe and the rest of the world and differs much from what you claim.I have no problems with your ancestry but with your lies it got tiring enough

[@leonenaj]

@lukepappe And you don't know what the word Macedonian means, because you're not one. You can be jealous, but you will never be one.

He Was Macedonian! !!but he definitely he wasn't Skopje. Pella is in Macedonia.And its a Greek region.the answer is not wrong

Alexander and his father Philip II conquered the Greeks, no? Would that not make him a significant part of Greek history? You could equally have an exhibit titled "The Persians from Cyrus to Alexander the Great".

And sparta conquered messinia and athens conquered the half greece.

[@leonenaj]

@fan4fun4ever First of all, it is not Fyrom. Just that statement is politically wrong. Second, you never mentioned how close we were related to the Ancient Macedonians, and how close modern Greeks are. Stop straying away from the topic. I said previously, Macedonians are related 50-60% to ancient macedonians. Even if you take a low estimate of 40%, that is still twice as high as the HIGH estimate for the modern greeks (20%).

First of all the game is called" Take it or Leave it" (Challenge TV/UK) The Challenge TV has apologised for the mistake. Such stupid mistakes happens in many famous TV Games all over the world. The stupidity of the mistake is so obvious by the fact tha the presenter says He was born in Pella /Greece and then they show the flag of Fyrom. Anyway thanks God history is is not written by such TV Games...

[@ba10203]

And to all of u asaying that Alexander was Macedonian...then why all Macedonians fought for Greece against the Persians who were trying to reach Athens?,n u can't tell that they were forced to, cuz that would be a lie...unless ur books write the opposite,that would be reasonable! :P and anyway u may live in the region of ancinet Macedonia,as many north Greeks do also!I've never heard of any greek saying turkey is ours...regionally u are macedonians but not historically!
