From which most being conquered by the Macedonians or Romans or Persians
124
@users10116 Greek was influenced by Egyptian,the Persians and Greeks h*ted eachother too much +Persian is older.
36
Veliskiotis They were seen as something seperate,they conquered much of Greece and today they are a seperate country.They have similarities.
27
Veliskiotis Well,that guy said Macedonians are Greeks so tell him.
17
Veliskiotis Are you saying they didn't call themselves "Macedonians"?They did,search the Macedonian empire under Philip II
7
@Aaaakiller There was no Greek identity back then,this Greek idea came far later.Ask a Spartan if he is as Greek as a Athenian and he will shout out loud he can't even be compared to them,same vice versa.
7
@Aaaakiller That guy who said Macedonians were Slavic?That should be corrected indeed lmao..
5
@za.monolit How does that prove Macedonians are Greek?In Lebanon and Syria they have the same city name,Beirut.They still aren't the same,city ames are no proof.
5
@Aaaakiller But then they fought eachother to the end so the Persians could get them later,alliances aren't identities,they were apart and considered themselves apart.The Heilotes can sure tell you for example.
4
@Aaaakiller We call them Greeks nowadays but they didn't consider themselves united Greeks.They sw themselves as Spartans,Athenians and so on...They were different in different aspects.
4
@Tataridis65 +Macedonians were no Greeks. They were called barbarians by Greeks. Philip and Alexander the Great invaded, destroyed and massacred Greeks. Aristotle says that when Alexander was mad he spoke in barbarian language. Also he says that Alexander addressed his army in barbarian language.
4
@Aaaakiller As you said TODAY,TODAY,not back then,after the Roman occupation Greek nationalism began,that's why Romans were afraid to fight in Greece because if you k*lled one Greek at that time,you would be h*ted by all Greeks.Slavic people also have the same genes yet I don't see Ukranians and RUssians unite?Like I said,they would disagree with you the concept of "we are all Greeks" came later.Greek nationalism came later when they m*rdered eachother to the limits and were occupied.
3
@Tataridis65 Ah Greek nationalists...Greeks were used as slaves by the Romans to use them as teachers,Byzantium was ruled by Roman law and Roman political institutions,it was influenced by Greeks,know the difference.

Commander Cody Macedonians WERE not greek,they didn't have the same God,architecture in fact :not only that the Macedonians did not worshiped the Greek gods, but also there is not a single temple discovered on the territory of Macedonia which resembles the temples in Greece. Alexander sacrificed to “Macedonian gods according to ancestral rituals, and ordered a torch-race and gymnastic contest to follow.” Urlich Wilken’s Alexander the Great: p. 187, line 15,
3
Commander Cody Second, the Macedonians had a distinct burial customs than the Greeks. The architecture of the so-called “Macedonian Tomb” which is found throughout Macedonia, was uncommon in Greece, until Greece was subdued by the Macedonians. This shows that the Macedonians had imported their distinctive burial architecture in Greece
3
@donninopoutso5292 I showed plenty of evidence no Greek nationalist here showed me an ancient source that says that.
3
@georgemakropoulos5151 Yeah good arguments and facts
3
@georgemakropoulos5151 Funny how you call your own words uneducated, wasn't this your own "comeback",? I wouldn"t call it a comeback since you are offended and are presenting no facts, you really should take debate classes.
3
@OrthodoxChristian-v8i How am I jealous? Again a Greek nationalist with no arguments, no wonder your economy is 0, should I be jealous of your beautifull economy? Or the fact that your "once great period" is now just visited by loud British tourists and a great place to take a selfie?
3
@OrthodoxChristian-v8i Jealous of what?Your juicy and beautiful economy (sarcasm)? Your "great period" now being just a great place for a selfie? Your country being the beta to Turkey? Go dream further Greek nationalist.
3
@altaccccount I was talking about ancient Macedonians, if they want to identify as Slavs, they can do what the want. Or should I say Northern-Macedonians?
3
@manospatramanis5819 An early Macedonian king, Alexander I wanted to enter the Olympics. Since he was not clearly a Greek, his admission was debated. It was decided that the Argive dynasty from which the Macedonian royal family came gave credence to his claim to be Greek. He was allowed to enter.Even your Greek forefathers knew Macedonians weren't Greek.You just proved my point of the Greek identity...It is an illusion created to unite.
3
@nikosz66 No because ALexander conquered the Greeks...Search up his speech...
3
@TarrierZeus You are mixing the Byzantine empire, my friend....Caesar,augustus,Nero were Greek?Yeah you are talking about another period...
3
TO ALL THE GREEK NATIONALISTS: STOP REPLYING YOU ARE ALL JUST COPY-PASTING EACHOTHER'S BAD ARGUMENTS.READ MY COMMENTS BEFORE REPLYING...I LITERALLY HAVE TO READ THE SAME ARGUMENTS IN MY BOX EVERY DAY...
3
@sizorzs1981 .Even Grees sources, including the king of Greece himself in 1912, confirm that when the Greek armies occupied Aegean Macedonia the overwhelming majority of the population were NOT Greeks, confirming the fact that the Greeks never lived in Macedonia since the most ancient times (Nikolaides, Spiros Melas Epopee).
2
Commander Cody These outrageous claims by Greek nationalists are not true.Macedonia are not Greek or to be presicely : Part of the nowadays version of this Greek identity.
2
@georgemakropoulos5151 1.you replied to my comment, did I ask about your opinion?You are acting like I did. 2.You are criticizing "my incorrect information" but you guys yourself come with nothing lmao.These "random theories" come from ancient sources and are facts.
2
@georgemakropoulos5151 I am sorry but I have better things to do in my life than just argue with a stranger online...so the only thing that I am willing to say is that you clearly don't know anything about history and the fact that you didn't even know that Macedonians weren't Greek proves you know nothing about history.Have a good day.
2
@georgemakropoulos5151 Good facts and historical texts... Or like a wise man once said to me :"I am not gonna waste time to a stranger who doesn't know anything about history". 99 percent behaved themselves and gave historical arguments, you in comparison are a waste of time and can only insult.
2
@costadinos5087 My sources were : Homeros and Alexander the great, you culture barbarian.You are officially a joke, don't mind replying.
2
@Grassyknolldallas longest running empire? In your dream.... I don't even know if you can call it an "empire".
2
@conk6379 I am saying ancient Macedonians are not Greek...
2
@donaldgoodinson7550 In 371 BC they invaded Sparta and won
1
@ΔημήτρηςΤερζάκης-τ9π I didn't a understand a thing of what you said,maybe reading more English books would help you with your English?What are you even trying to say?
1
@abhayn9615 Because youtube deletes my comment if I don't *** them.
1
@costadinos5087 I clearly said that Macedonian became hellenistic...But that doesn't make them Greeks.Are North-Africans also Arabs because they got Arabized?
1
@costadinos5087 Never heard of writers in the classic period? So you are just inventing information..
1
@TcitaKoCl2 Good argument
1
@ΠαναγιώτηςΜ-ξ2ζ You f**l, Other people fighting in your army was common. Romans used Arabs,Numidians, Greeks and Germans too.Greeks also used auxiliaries. They together fought because the Persians were a common threat.Alexander the great himself didn't identify as a Greek...
1
@nikosz66 Bruh Macedonians were allowed in Olympics until Alexander conquered the Greeks, learn history.
1
@guspartschmuth592 When did I say countries?
1
@skyseer5312 I didn't say they were Slavs someone else. I am saying they are not Greek.
1
@zoey8430 Go dream further
1
@YannisPotamitis Good historical arguments...
1
@conk6379 Ancient-Macedonians.
1
@conk6379 They are what they want to identify as.If they want to identify as Slavs, they can be slavs.
1
@conk6379 I am not even Slav, I am not even Macedonian...
1
@conk6379 I was talking about ancient-Macedonians not about Slavs but many here are mixing them up...
1
@dorianphilotheates3769 No to what? No to fixing your economy?
1
@conk6379 I never said that.I said I was talking about ancient-Macedonians.The Slav thing is something totally else...
1
@georgemakropoulos5151 Someone said I was jealous and I said the truth... Is your economy good?Nah.
1
@conk6379 They became hellenistic when you read one of my comments I said that after the Macedonians conquered Greece, they took over Greek habits....Like Romans did.
1
@georgemakropoulos5151 Bruh how old are you? If speaking about a country's condition is rude, you really are a snowflake.... I recommend you to read to read the Financial times...you'll be shocked about how rude they are...
1
@georgemakropoulos5151 And you imagining about how I look has nothing to do with these facts and debate.Greece is in an economic crisis and is begging for Eu help, you getting offended by this won't change anything.Heck no if everyone was like you we would have 0 progress in this world.
1
@georgemakropoulos5151 I SAID IF EVERYONE WAS LIKE YOU we would have 0 progress , learn English! And I understood your example and said that it was a bad example...
1
@georgemakropoulos5151 You really like the victim role, don't you? Fact is Greece is in economic crisis.Whether snowflakes like you like it or not. And Katerina Sakellaropoulou will certainly not help you lmao
1
@georgemakropoulos5151 Nice this man is raging over something online haha, path*tic. Go cry further about your economy. Learned something: Never try to have a civilized debate with someone named : George Makropoulos.Why are you keep talking about posture? Are you insecure or something lol?
1
@panstantzos3013 Nah, but I know you're Greek...Your useless Greek nationalist arguments were a red flag before I even read your whole comment...
1
@panstantzos3013 Nope but you are Greek for sure...
1
@georgemakropoulos5151 Didn't you have enough hormones to turn off your caps lock,snowflake? Lmao.
1
@panstantzos3013 The fact you support Adonis Georgiades says enough about you and it is certainly not positive...
1
@panstantzos3013 Funny how you say most aren't Greek and you turn out to be Greek like the others....
1
@panstantzos3013 Other nationalities? Bruh I only see Greeks being desperate to claim the pride that is left.Now I used Alexander and Herodotus himself as a source so I wouldn't call it "pseudo"....And I didn't "click on it" I am subscribed and this got in my feed.It is called the algorithm...And empathy?Am I sensing the victim complex?
1
@panstantzos3013 1. I am subscibed so I didn't search Greek video's, it is called the algorithm. 2.My sources were Herodotos and Alexander so not "pseudo". 3.Empathy? Really ?Another victim complex?
1
@IamSome1 Troll? Ah you look like an intellectual...(NOT).His teacher was a Greek so ofcourse he mastered the language...
1
@argentianguis6510 Only when the Macedonians conquered almost whole Greece they were admitted. They were admitted later...Macedonians were not Greek. Before Alexander the Great and the Diadochi no Macedonian ever comepted in the Greek Olympic games
1
@whiteangel6675 196 replies....+this reply now=197. My most important comment was that Persian and Egyptian culture was older.And all of you missed the MOST IMPORTANT POINT. Now believe what you want, vale!
1
@guyukassman7705 Can you and all the other Greeks rage elsewhere but not in my comment box.If you want to hear my facts read my previous comments.FINISHED.
1
@karras_tolis Ok Apostolos Karras, I am sure you are not Greek and have a lot of arguments(SARCASM).
1
@karras_tolis Yeah sarcasm is far in you...That argument is worthless...The native Americans, the people of Kashmir and so on are also in a foreign country yet they aren't that nationality.
1
@myopicthunder I said they became Hellenized later but they weren't Greek.
1
@kokoriko999 Trolling skils? the average IQ of this "debate" , I don't know if I can call it a debate anymore is horrifying.Maybe because of Greek education?
1
@kokoriko999 Troll? I stated facts , you emotional internet addicts spammed my box full of nonsense....
1
@guyukassman7705 Serious? Are you using God as an argument? I didn't get any replies from but sure, send your "proof" from the bible, amuse me like the other 241 comments...
1
@guyukassman7705 Nah, I believe in the ancient Macedonian gods MY CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE
1
@guyukassman7705 Aight I"ll just assume that of the thousands of other Gods, your God is the chosen one?
1
@guyukassman7705 I would read a bot of mythology, look how many times the Gods had contact with the people and you forgot the other of thousands of Gods. I am not English but I surely know the British economy is a lot better then yours...
1
@Random_Iceberg Because youtube deletes my comments otherwise...
1
@ΠΦΚ-ξ8μ Congrats! You're the 272 comment!
1
@ΠΦΚ-ξ8μ Learn what? How ignorant 99 percent of you guys are?And that I am secretly a communist Albanian spy in Greece, accotding to your friends...
1
@ΜιχάληςΦουκ you tried to speak English...but you failed badly.
1
@nickkanaris6833 Plants have less debt than the Greek economy.
1
@Greeks stfu
1
@ΤοΛυκόπουλο My ancestors were doing fine but the next Greeks will not like their ancestors of the 21st century.
1
@billbaba6994 Yet you are so pissed and have so little self-control that you felt it was necessary to comment on something months ago? SPOILER : stfu and this discussion will end and Idc about your opinion.
1
@billbaba6994 To free you from your illusions and so I don't get more comments in my inbox from other Greeks with an inferiority complex.
1
@Foxyfreedom Man..I have spent 365 arguing with these m*rons, this comment section is a graveyard. Just read everything ...
1
@Foxyfreedom Believe me, you don't want to restart everything.
1
@Herakles 🤡
1
@Herakles I am not even from Bulgaria. Read my replies, there are literally almost 400 replies of me arguing with other people like whose IQ is rather....low....
1
@kreb7 I beg you, stop it, stop this discussion before you wake up the other Greeks and my inbox explodes again, have mercy. Let it rest.
1
@Christoforos-Matthew_25-34 Yes, the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians already did science and invented many formulas. Greek democracy was never real democracy: only the elite men aka 1% could vote...
1
@mister_dadstersays_hi7372 Couldn't your fragile ego stfu? This debate happened and closed 2 years ago, you're not part of it. You're a spectator. Only my 398 Greek friends can respond to me, we have a unique relationship.
1
@harrys.3165 It's literally 2 years ago
1
@Kleftis Nope, congratulations ! You just discovered identities change. Turks considered themselves for a long time to be non-European, Ataturk changed that in a span of 2-3 years?
1
@aa377 Yeah good keep filling the comment section so it will be closed, finish this madness
1
@papertoyss Ottomans saw themselves as the new Byzantines, the French and Germans as the new Romans, doesn't prove a point
1
@Tskm12 why tf are you reacting on a 2-3 years old comment stfu
1
@aristotelisdiomidis9350 Ok androupolos from Athens.
1
@giannispapadopoulos6603 You guys don't understand the difference between Greece and the Greek identity. I explained it a thousand times, Greek commentor.
1
@aristotelisdiomidis9350 Nothing, nothing
1
@altsakosotesserakias4290 Bruh why you replying to a comment of 2 years ago AND in some weird language
1
HTLReal Who?
1
@xdx2653 Salty like your bad olive oil? No. Not that salty.
1
@jimmykonsta Me and these Giovanni copycats literally filled almost the 500 comments mark, just stfu and respect facepalmjesus' inbox.
