Ruled by Hammurabi, restored by Nebuchadrezzar, conquered by Cyrus—this city in the heart of Mesopotamia was both desired and despised, placing it at the center stage of the dawn of history.
Due to the limited nature of the information we have about ancient Egypt, the historical figures that we call key is a more limited group than it would be in contemporary times. The article explores three groups of key figures: those involved in developing the form of the pyramid, famous Egyptian rulers, and important non-Egyptian rulers. Alexander the Great, a Macedonian king, conquered the eastern Mediterranean, Egypt, the Middle East, and parts of Asia in a remarkably short period of time.

Read some real books not propaganda Turkish trash. Probably at your history class you were drawing lines at the desk….. Pelasgians were Hellenes as Dorians, Ionians, Aiolians.
It was just tribe like provinces They called them barbarians beacuse they had different culture from the south Hellens till that time but after the participations at some Olympic games they accepted them as Hellenes and something that you dont know you and the writer that refers as Macedonia at a Yugoslavian remains , is that Alexander was the first that unite ALL the Hellenes under the name of Hellas Greece and not be different as city states, so that time all the Hellenes had differences between them.
Understand now? The state of Skopje stole the name of Macedonia in Previously it was named Vardarska How can a state change its name and nationality within a few days? The former president of Skopje Gligorov said that Skopjans are Slavs, as is testified by their names. They say that people should have the right to choose a name for themselves. I agree, but on the condition that this name is NOT already used by others.
Our freedom stops where the freedom of another begins. And, in any case, what kind of new Macedonian nation can this be when we, our fathers, our grandparents and our grandparents, have always been called Bulgarians? And the Mycenaeans themselves were closely related to the earlier Minoans, the study reveals, another great civilization that flourished on the island of Crete from B.
By comparing 1. By signing up, you agree to share your email address with the publication. The ancient Mycenaeans and Minoans were most closely related to each other, and they both got three-quarters of their DNA from early farmers who lived in Greece and southwestern Anatolia, which is now part of Turkey, the team reports today in Nature.
Both cultures additionally inherited DNA from people from the eastern Caucasus, near modern-day Iran, suggesting an early migration of people from the east after the early farmers settled there but before Mycenaeans split from Minoans. This dancing Minoan woman from a fresco at Knossos, Crete — B.
Artists in both cultures painted dark-haired, dark-eyed people on frescoes and pottery who resemble each other, although the two cultures spoke and wrote different languages. The Mycenaeans were more militaristic, with art replete with spears and images of war, whereas Minoan art showed few signs of warfare, Lazaridis says.
Because the Minoans script used hieroglyphics, some archaeologists thought they were partly Egyptian, which turns out to be false. When the researchers compared the DNA of modern Greeks to that of ancient Mycenaeans, they found a lot of genetic overlap. The results also show it is possible to get ancient DNA from the hot, dry landscape of the eastern Mediterranean, Renfrew says. He and others now have hope for getting DNA from groups such as the mysterious Hittites who came to ancient Anatolia sometime before B.
Archaeologist Kristian Kristiansen of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, who was not involved in the work, agrees. At last the truth has bin told about Macedonians. And they did. Makedonija was born. Fact number 10 is incorrect! Alexander and his kingdom is in the region of Greece. The tablet is written in Doric Greek and most greeks can translate it today. The alphabet and language remain the same since back then—the only inclusions are lower case letters and spacing between words.
Historical records prove Alexander spread Greek culture and the beliefs of the Greek gods. This is why North Macedonia was made to change their flag, remove any claim to Alexander naming of the airport, etc.
Nice try, though! I,ve been following up your exchange of ideas with great interest — as a citizen of what today is Republic of Finland. Not always have been so, however. What has amazed me most of this dispute is — looking from here far north — the comparison, that if you go up north starting from our capital Helsinki, what will you find: a province called Lapland.
And if you take it from there to the west to Sweden, what will you find: a province called Lapland. And if you continue further to the west from there to Norway, what will you find: a province called Lapland. Great points you can not answer became you know not what you say… Confused to confuse those that know not any better… You know better the propaganda pill you swallowed went straight to your brain cells and killed more than a few….
Lmao you are one confused person. Greeks are Greeks and Serbian is Serbian. You Greeks fight over the name Macedonia because you want to be Macedonian. Macedonia was the toughest empire and since it has fallen Albania, Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia have all taken a piece of the country… this is why there is a Macedonian region in Greece.
Alexander the great, king if macedonia not greece. The way the english took over america. There are still natives, just as well as there are nativ Macedonians in Macedonia.
If you want to go back in time… the balkans were once under Turkish rule… do you classify Greeks as Turks? USA, you need to decide how you want to be called. You may either be a Slav from Vardarska? In regards of history, I say that you are confused in such a great extend that you need to do a serious research about who Ancient Macedonians were! Only forgot to mention that Macedonians were one of the Hellenic tribes back then, like Spartans, Corinthians, Athenians, etc.
Philippos was the first that called all Hellenic tribes to be united under the term of Hellenes! Every ancient Macedonian ruin and script found is written in the Greek language. Just do a little of research and if you are Macedonian as you claim try read them.
You know, contemporary Hellenes or Greeks can still read those ancient scripts. What about you? It is you from Vardarska that actually fight over the name of Macedonia because you want to be Macedonians. You have to be proud of who you are. You have to be proud of your Slavic history instead of trying to be somebody else!
The late President of the Greek Republic, K. Today, you can see museum house dedicated to her in the center of the capital city of Skopje. That is true, previous area of Slav republic! The country has as many as 34 mountain peaks, each with a height of more than 2, meters above the sea-level; with Mount Golem Karb being the highest at 2, meters above sea-level.
It is official to Slavs and of course to Vardarska as well. And it is correctly mentioned that it was taught by their disciples at a monastery in Ohrid, from whence it spread across the eastern Slavic world. Not to be confused with Macedonia and the former Kingdom of Macedonia which is Greek! The first version was based on a symbol found on ancient tombstones discovered in in the town of Vergina area of Macedonia in Greece.
Vardarska, the so called FYRoM tried to claim that they owned the copyright to use the symbol, despite that has nothing to do with Slavic civilization. So, in order not to be confused, downbelow you will find some extra information about Macedonia, so to be well informed when visited that historical part of Greece!
Macedonia Greece For other uses, see Macedonia disambiguation. Macedonia is the largest and second most populous Greek region, dominated by mountains in the interior and the port cities of Thessaloniki or Salonika and Kavala on its southern coastline.
It incorporates most of the territories of ancient Macedon, a kingdom ruled by the Argeads whose most celebrated members were Alexander the Great and his father Philip II. Even before the establishment of the modern Greek state in , it was identified as a Greek province, albeit without clearly defined geographical borders. Ancient Macedonia was a Greek kingdom. You have no business associating it with this Slavic state. This was proven when they took D.
That time there was no Greece. The Greeks had many countries and the Makedonia was one of them. Greeks or Macedonians, it is the same thing. Is that so hard to understand? It is logical because not all of the ancient Macedonia is within the Greek borders today.
I think you should take what you have and look forward. You told me that I should look forward. But do not you. You insult Greece and Greeks all the time, why? Vasilis Vasilis Vasilis!!! DNA does prove that people in the balkan come across as white people with blue eyes and blond hair Slavic People as Alexander the Great Matched all three. Now the difference between these to countries is not just there DNA looks but also have a completely different Language and culture.
Have not seen 1 ancient coin that has any writing other than Greek. There are 4 million Macedonian Greeks that are very proud of their ancestors. Your politicians are turning Bulgarian is that not true? It is actually YOU that need to read some history! And I mean real history from official historical sources, not poor propaganda! Unfortunately all of those cities were fighting each other and unified only again their common enemy, Persians!
However, they were speaking the same language and sharing the same customs. The only thing that you are admitting, and that really honors you is that you are originated from Slavic tribes.
It is not bad. Actually you have to be proud that you are a Slav! It is not hard to comprehend. You combine countries together to form a new country called Greece and now try to claim all those countries are ethnic Greek. This si basically what you are saying. City states is another type of propaganda. Are the croatians and slovenian ethnic Serbians, Yugoslavia united all the city states. Also, Ottoman Empire Ruled the Balkans for years. So during that time if they excavated historical sites, is it fair to say they are Turkish because they were in Ottoman Land at time of excavataion.
This is exactly what you are doing now. Oh I forget. Greece expelled thousands of Macedonians from Aegean Macedonia after its division, renamed all macedonian surnames to sound Greek Koine an drenamed all the cities. And of course the Macedonia was banned hich they so love to call now Macedonia is Greek and they actually rename the Macedonian terrioty they took in to Northern Greece. The homeland of ancient Macedonians including its capital are located in… Macedonia… Greece.
Everyone always says they would have stood up for the Jews during WW2. The truth is the majority turn into monsters if the majority or people in authority do. In trying to understand why Germans would commit such atrocities Stanley Milgram revealed the true nature of the masses. The Macedonia name dispute is just another of this. Much safer to follow the pack than to have any actual ethics. This effectively amounts to collusion in subtle attempt to ethnic cleanse Greeks.
The billions that called former Yugoslavians are now morally complicit in a subtle attempted genocide. Did you forget about the Treaty of Bucharest. Or did they skip that in your history class… Macedonia was broken apart. A piece to Greece, a piece to Bulgaria and a piece to the Serbs…. Following the two Balkan wars of and and after the fall of Ottoman Empire, most of its European-held territories were divided between Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia. An introduction of anti-Bulgarian measures took place like, Bulgarian teachers and clergy were expelled, Bulgarian language signs and books removed, and all Bulgarian organisations dissolved.
The Serbian government pursued a policy of forced Serbianisation in the region, which included systematic repression of other ehtnic groups by altering family surnames, internal colonisation, forced labor, and intense propaganda. To aid the implementation of this policy, some 50, Serbian army were stationed in the territory.
In , the Kingdom was officially renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and divided into provinces called banovinas. Thanks again USA for clarifying that about the Serbs! Your comment helps in order one to understand about the Slavic and Bulgarian origins of the contemporary people who are now living in the country, And of course enforce the point that those people are NOT of Macedonian Greek origins!
Which Macedonia? By Bucharest treaty which was dedicated to the Greece side? And before that, it was never Greece. This was a plan — there is now pipeline going through that area and if we connect the dots and follow the money as they say… Then the picture becomes much clearer why an entire country that has simply demanded a name that was NOT in any way shape or form theirs to use and to have and to flaunt and to rub in our Greek faces -a name of An Ancient territory and An Ancient People they have absolutely no connection to… This is the biggest farse ever in the history books and mankind….
I have been active in this fight since … I have gone to the white house after pres g bush signed papers the first week in office allowing someone other than GREEK to use the name Macedonia as they had no real connection to… There is where the story begins……….
Since then these liers thieves and clowns beleive as a whole the propaganda of their propagandists gov of which many were riddled with corruption and the farse continues…. Funny how you lie cheat steal abs rewite history and by propagating it bt repating over and over again you think it will stick… FYI Mount Olympis is the tallest peak in all of Macedonia … Please read and comprehension is key!!!
In DNA … there is proof … Talk is cheap and your lies and propaganda have ended … Take this entire stream down unless you want to be remembered as a Skopje Vardar liar theif clown.
My Grandfather whom i loved dearly and by no choice of his own helped hellenise greece. I guess the greeks couldn t do it on they re own…for how long? Lol Meanwhile his brother told the greeks to fuck off and became a partizan. Greeks, Africans or Turks…which one are they? Look at Greece now…birthplace of politics…lol Shame.
Never had anything, never will No brother of mine. Then that makes you Turkish as well… because if i do recall the Ottoman ruled Greece as well…. Your name sounds like a Turkish one! You are not even Slav! WTF were are you reading this shit from… it never happened man wtf are you saying.
Read some history yourself that at s you claimed that you were Bulgarian or you dont know that? You dont speak even Greek, you dont know our Gods, you just have a cyrillic alphabet that somehow reminds of Greece And Kyrillos and Methodios were GREEKS also You are eating your politic propaganda to take your taxes to build stupid monuments of Alexander, and believing that your past is Alexander….. Macedonia is a Greek word meaning tall, long, from the makro. Alexander is a Greek name meaning protector of men, Phillip is a Greek name meaning friend.
The first King of Macedonia was called Cacanus who left the Pelloponese and travelled north, this was in bc. Cacanus had children which had children which had grandchildren who eventually became King Phillip and then King Alexander. Try and understand this, so ancestors of Alexander the Great came from the Pelloponese, that is not too hard to understand is it? He was born bc. Pella has Hellenic ancient ruins dating back to bc years, well before Alexander and Phillip were born, part of these ancient artifacts that were discovered was ancient Hellenic writing which I can read, that writing is called Doric Greek which is what Alexander spoke and also which the Spartans spoke and other Ancient Greek tribes spoke.
His mothers name was Olympia another Greek name, his half sister, Cassandra another Greek name. Do your homework,read your history.
There are facts … These people claim be be one Tribe Macedonian… While they are a true mix of all of their neighbors i including Albanian and Greek… The only Macedonian they want to claim is Alexander the great who was Greek the only lake they claim ohrid lichnida wad named by Greeks… The only mountain they want claim is vodno gk; vouno even the name of the capital is a greek word for lookout as in the many lookout towers that Greeks left behind when the ottoman rule forced greeks out from that entire area including Albania … So Yugoslavia was these people all along.
Please they are liets theives and propagandist people that see a pipeline coming through That region. Nothing is othet than Greek when the name Macedonia is involved. And everything and anything you have named for us and in honor of my ancestors…. We thank you!!! Just as the various tribes of the American Indians — were many tribes and spoke slightly different or very different in fact… But they were all the same people!
MY GOD, to all of you that comment here and thank this idiot for the information he has given you!!!! First of all you must be analphabetic and stupid since you are totally clueless when it comes to history! Because thats the language of Macedonians. So for all you idiots out there get your facts right. Greece is down the shit u moron…looks like syria nowdays…but u are in EU u stupid gypsys.
How Funny are you — have you looked around lately…? Plan; They win we lose. Only one thing to be said macedonians hated Greeks years ago and still hate them today…. It is interesting to see how many people do not know Makedonian history, but are redy to mix it with Greek history which did not exist at time when ancient Makedonians settled the land we so well know from their history as Makedonia.
As individuals you have no right to create the history if suit you. You must see beyond and except the truth. Makedonians are older then years on that place. The plain fact about Macedonia is years of existence. That beets Greece, and all other nations around the land of Macedonia. Why people do not recognise and except the historical facts of this ancient land is political stupidity.
Go fight with them. Macedonians suffer for it. Smart politicians do not exist and thats why Macedonians suffer indignity from all other nations around. Hi Norbert. About the number 3. Yugoslavia was bombed by NATO for 78 days and , died the rest went where??? Who were they??? Fact is you based your little ditty on no facts — just wishful thinking — May I ask you, what you studied in school??? In my opinion it clearly was not ancient history or maps or linguistics — ty.
You are not honest here either. When someone writes something that is not in the same ring with your you take away that, makedonia Greece and Makedones are Greeks. All else is false. Vasilis, Give up on your propaganda man. Its falling like a domino.. One can not be two things at the same time. Choose one. Either you are Greek or Macedonian? Have fun. Just be proud to be a Slav! If you were a Macedonian that would be very easy for you! Greece is an empire which was formed in with your Bavarian King.
First time a country was ever called Greece. Greece is just another Yugoslavia waiting to fall apart and then its states countries will gain independence again.
Ethel Romans called Greece Greece or Greco. Original name Hellas. Alexander the Great united all the Hellenic states to become one nation Hellas. Treaty of Bucharest… that is land taken that was supposed to be given back after years…. You are talking to people that got internet just a short while ago and their propagandists gov has spoon fed them this info … They learned it from ours … When papa bush signed a paper the first week in office allowing them to use a name that was not theirs to use — his knowledge wad not challenged by anyone … Clearly he had none.
That is IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You sound like Gus from my big fat greek wedding. Were you around in bc? Because for all we know those names could originate from the roman or even egypt. Youre so naive and youre such a weird person for trying to dictate someone elses identity. How do you feel when people call you Turkish? Or even Albanian? Because at one point in time your preciously Greece was once rules by both parties.
So if you want to call out Gypsys just look into your history. For all you know , your great grandmother was Turkish. Boarders change… so what once was… is just that… it WAS. So inform yourself before you open your ass again. The name of Alexandros is also of Greek origin. It is the archaeological foundings, written scripts and monuments found that prove this!
It is you that are so naive and ignorant instead. Do not be ashamed of your slavic origins. No one calls Hellenes, Turkish or Albanians, while on the other hand both Turkish and Albanians are not ashamed of their origins as you did! You are Vardarian Slavs and you have to be proud! For all you know , your great grandmother was Slav and that is not to be ashamed of. So, it is better for you to inform yourself before you open your mouth again! That simple! That is a Hellenic name! Instead of being so ignorant and brainwashed though confused, you need to start reading History!
I mean the real one. Get out of your box! Open your eyes or better your mind and read the Official History! Check the ancient findings and please, just try to seperate in your mind, Archaeology from Biology!
Both, are actually, two different fields, although they end in to the same conclusion, however genes are going back some thousand years before explaining genetically the different colours of skin, hair.
All ProtoHeellenic and Hellenic tribes going some thousand years back explaining by that way the differences in feature characteristics. So combining biological findings with those of the Archaeology all of the researchers -NOT only Greeks — came to the conclusion of the so-called Hellenic History!
So if you will try to make some serious research you might deconfuse your brain regarding biology, as much as history as well.
Ending, you either have to be proud of being a Macedonian of Greek origins if so or a Macedonian of Slavic origins if you would rather prefer to take the DNA test. It was named by the Macedonian yep you got it Greeks who yup lived on that land for thousands of years and the true Macedonian are the Pontiac Greeks who srill live tpday and there are plenty of descendants to do DNA testing on and oh by way… I know plenty of them I live in a town that has the biggest polulation in the USA… Funny hpw that works!
Macedonia is definitely a place I need to go back to. I know how that feels. Well, I visited during the winter, which to be honest is not the best time to go, but I had a good time. Would love to visit back during the summer, which is supposed to be much better. Made me revisit my history books. Anyways, some cool facts about the country. Never mind that he conquered Egypt.
Infact, Cleopatra, was Macedonian!!! So when the new republic to its north declared independence as "Macedonia", many Greeks saw another country trying to steal credit for their treasured history.
They were quick to point out that the new Republic of Macedonia didn't even speak Greek: Its national language , very similar to Bulgarian, was in the Slavic group , and more closely related to Russian or Polish than to Greek. Actually, linguists aren't sure if ancient Macedonia's spoken language was Greek either, but they are sure it wasn't Slavic.
And though the Kingdom of Macedonia was located at the northern outskirts of the Greek cultural region, it definitely considered itself part of the Ancient Greek world. Greek was the sole written language there, and Alexander's family even claimed to be distant descendants of the mythical Hercules. As for Alexander himself, he was born in the ancient Macedonian capital of Pella, located within what's now Greece.
He may not ever have set foot in what's now the Republic of Macedonia, though by the time he took the throne in BC his kingdom did include some southern parts of that country see map above.
Meanwhile, the vast majority of ancient Macedonia was within what's now Greece, and the Greek government still calls that region " Macedonia " today. Alexander went on to conquer various countries to the east, but his northern border never reached far enough north to include Skopje, the modern day Republic of Macedonia's capital city. Despite this, patriots in the Republic of Macedonia claim their own country is the heir to Alexander's legacy , even using his family symbol on their first national flag , building monuments to him , and naming their airport after him.
These are some of the most important sticking points for Greece, which sees them as proof that its neighbors are trying to steal credit for Greek history. To those neighbors though, the story doesn't feel so simple.
