[quote:Nick the Greek 931694:MV8xMDI4NTA1XzE2MjU3Njk1X0MzNzcxNjhC] This Observation does not apply to the ignorant or to the apathetic, but if you mention the name Macedonia at discussion group gatherings or similar, for whatever reason, if you do get a response it is highly likely that the respondent is learned enough to know about the geographic region and it's ancient history. To an outsider, in his or her Minds Eye, he or she would have conjured up an Image of Alexander the Great and the Ancient Macedonians dressed up in the ancient military attire dress code, one immediately associates with the dress codes generally used in ancient Greece. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ancientgreekmapsandmore/tags/alexanderthegreat/ To a Modern Greek, in his or her Minds Eye, he or she would have conjured up vivid Images of Alexander the Great and the Ancient Macedonians which for the Greeks has been fused into their collective conciousness, if imagined it would be similar to that of a lazer beam burning a latent Image deep into the surfaces of plexi-glass or photoreceptive materials, whereby that latent image becomes permanent and kept safely stored in all of it's glory in a biological memory bank location just waiting to be conjured up at the next memory recall. This observation is based on the fact that the Imagery modern Greeks would have received and absorbed about ancient Macedonians through the means of educational materials, local and regional site museums plus the vast amounts of physical Imagery supporting the Indigenous status of the Ancient Macedonians to Hellas. To a FYRoMian, in his or her Minds Eye, he or she would have conjured up an Image of Alexander the Great and the Ancient Macedonians based on flawed ill thought out Slavic Propaganda. In FYRoM's collective conciousness, in the Minds Eye of young FYRoMians Alexander the Great remains dressed up in the military attire dress code associated with ancient Greece, except this time, and only for them, Alexander the Great speaks Slavic has blond hair with high Slavic cheek bones depicting a stereotypicall tall blond protoSlavic warrior. In the Minds Eye of Slavdoms Rogue Scholar's Pseudo Historians and Specialist Propagandist's, Greeks do Not Exist and Hellenism becomes a Loaded word, for them Alexander the Great becomes Slavic, he speaks Oldchurch Slavonic in ancient times and remains an ancient ProtoSlavic hero, the first Czar. For them and only for them ancient Macedonians were not Greeks or Hellenes, for them ancient Macedonians were ancient protoSlavs. Can You See Something Wrong With This Picture.....? [/quote]
Original Message
Is it true.....Alexander the Great was not Macedonian Greek
but Slavik from Slavdoms SouthSlavic collective of peoples.
