FACTOIDS By Anthony C.
Economou |
1. Recorded
history refers to an ancient kingdom of Macedonia beginning in the 7th century B.C.E.
2. The name "Macedonia" was given by its people and in Greek it
means "Highland".
3. Many ancient sources-historians, the Bible, the Torrah,
geographers etc. refer to Macedonia as a
Greek kingdom. It is also
mentioned by Homer and by the Historian-geographer Strabo who states:
"Macedonia is Greece as well."
4. 0ver 5,000
excavated relics of the ancient Macedonian kingdom carry only Greek inscriptions.
5. The
ancient Macedonians participated in the Olympic Games and only Greeks
could do that.
They believed in the same Gods as the rest of the Greeks. Their
kingdom's coins carried Greek inscriptions only.
The Palace floor in the
ancient Macedonian capital of Pella depicts Greek deities and Greek
mythological figures with Greek language inscriptions.
6. Mt. Olympus,
home of the Greek Gods, was located in Macedonia.
At the foot of the
mountain, excavations unearthed the ancient Macedonian burial grounds with
Greek inscriptions.
7. The Greeks
were the only people in ancient time to build theaters. Four have
already been found in Macedonia.
8. Apostle Paul
refers to Greeks receiving him when visiting Macedonia.
He was preaching in Greek and his epistles were
written in Greek, the language of
inhabitants.
9. Alexander
the Great-king of Macedonia and leader of the united Greek city-States-disseminated
Greek culture and civilization
during his campaign against the Persian Empire as well as in Europe,
Africa and Asia.
10. There never
was a "Macedonian language" just as there never was an "Athenian
Epirotic",
"Theban" "Boeotian" etc. All city-states of Greece
the Greek language with various dialects.
Present day Bulgaria-an idiom
Of the Bulgarian language is spoken by the pseudo-Macedonians
recognizes neither a
Macedonian language nor a Macedonian ethnicity. Most of the present" day
Slavs in the country of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (F.Y.R.O.M.) are of Bulgarian descent.
11. Demosthenes,
the Athenian orator and a fanatic super patriot, never called the
Macedonians "barbarians"
only their king, Phillip, and that because he
could not stomach the passing of Greek supremacy from Athens
to Macedonia.
His Athenian orator rival, Isocrates, sent a letter to King Phillip
exhorting and imploring him
to unite all Greeks and seeking vengeance to
lead them against Persia, their common enemy.
12. Ilinden, the
site of an insurrection of, supposedly, all races residing in the
geographic area of ancient
Macedonia against the Ottoman Empire, was
planned and instigated by the Bulgarian Government
whose dream it was to
annex all of it and gain access to the Aegean Sea. Categorical evidence of
this
the many existing reports of European ambassadors and counsels which
were dispatched to their
respective Foreign Ministries. The
pseudo-Macedonians appropriated this unsuccessful event of Ilinden
most
of the victims were Greek-from the Bulgarians and present it as their own
heroic attempt to gain
"freedom for
Macedonia."
13. There never existed a country called "Macedonia" since the destruction of
ancient kingdom by the Romans
in 168 B.C..
Any reference to a division of "Macedonia" between Greece, Serbia and
Bulgaria is a false
and ludicrous statement. The geographical area of
Macedonia from the advent of the Slavs in the 6th
century A.D. until the
First Balkan War of 1912 a period of 1500 years was populated by Greeks,
Serbs,
Bulgarians, Albanians, Jews and Gypsies and
since the 14th century A.D. by Turks as well.
No census of Roman,
Byzantine or Ottoman Empires refers to any "Macedonians". Hence, what
"Macedonia" was divided up?
14. Before it became Yugoslavia, the country was called "KINGDOM OF THE Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes." No mention of Macedonians.
15.0nly the southern part of F.Y.R.O.M. corresponds to the northern border
the ancient Macedonian kingdom.
16. No known
historic record refers to any total extinction or genocide perpetrated
upon the ancient
Macedonian people. What of their descendants? Surely they
are not Slavs. What of their rights to their
identity and Heritage?
Are they no longer "Macedonian"?
If you ever
come across an ancient Macedonian relic with an
inscription Finally, the
following question is addressed to all those who dare not admit that
the
ancient Macedonians were Greek because it would ruin their
concocted Macedonian ethnicity:
" If you ever come across an ancient Macedonian relic with an inscription
other than in Greek, you shall
have found the discovery of all ages.
YOU HAVE
UNTIL THE COLLAPSE
OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
