If you notice, The scripts are written in Greek because ancient Macedonians spoke Greek. The current northern Macedonians speak a Slavic dialect, Serbian mixed with bulgarian, came to their area much later than the ancient Macedonians and have nothing to do with them
Wrong, ancient Macedonians spoke on his old Macedonian language. Greeks didnt understand Macedonian language (see the Philotas trial). Also Demostenes said that Macedonians are not Hellens but foreigners and he hated Macedonians. According the Nivice Agreement there is no ""northern Macedonians", but just a Macedonians with their own Macedonian language. Greece signed that Agreement agreed that Macedonians exist as a separate nation from Greeks. Slavic tribes came and mixed with Macedonians in VI century AD, and Greeks first came in Macedonia in 1912. never before.Modern Macedonian language is of course Slavic based, but it is not dialect,but separate unique language confirmed by UN in 1977. in Athens Greece. Also Greece in 1925 admitted that the Macedonian language is different from Bulgarian and Serbian and printed a primer (the first book named ABECEDAR) in the Macedonian language for Macedonians elementary school in Northern Greece. Let's tell the truth, enough with the cheap Greek propaganda.

this is one of the reasons why Greece is world famous ...WOW !! The palace where Alexander the Great was crowned the King of Macedonia some 2700 years ago ...the remains of that palace are still in tact
Loved this! Thank you! Lots of us get so excited when you’re in Greece, we must have a bit of it in our blood! I’m Scottish with Irish and Scots and Italian ancestors. Trying to find out if I’ve got any Greek at all in me. As I feel so at home there. It sometimes makes me cry. Been to mainland and islands but for some reason that one hit a nerve! Great stuff. Do you think you might have ancestors somewhere? I think you might be Scandinavian and Irish!
In north Macedonia and thrace our traditional instument is a gaida (Bagpipe) our traditional food is παπούδα - papouda (a Greek haggis) our traditional male costumes is kilt (see images of our national hero Pavlos Melas) so ... that's why you/we have of it, a bit, in your/our blood
Metsovo also makes maybe my favorite Greek cheese, metsovone. And as with basically all places you went on this trip, I think Metsovo deserved more time and attention than it got.
This is an amazing palace. I guess it had just opened January 2024 after a years long restoration project. It's amazing that a site like this was not excavated until 1970. This area of Greece (Macedonia) must have been the center of ancient Greek civilization. This was a great video.
Gabe brother, you should see Metsovo in winter, like Narnia ... i know you just saw the most amazing church so far ...keep going, more wonderful places in your way coming up ...✨✌💙p.s. the monastery you've seen is dedicated to the Dormition of the Holy Mother. In Epirus there was the ancient kingdom of Molossians, where Alexander's mother Olympias was from, a princess.💙✌
Regarding the Tomb of Vergina. And the armor of Phillip II (Father of Alexander the Great. On the RIGHT side of Phillip's II armor is the emblem of Athina the Greek goddes and protector of ALL Greek heroes
It's a pity this site is one of the most overlooked relative to its significance by most tourists because it's in the middle of nowhere. Everyone knows who Alexander the Great is but only a few know that literally the tomb of his father has been found along with the palaces.
Hi Gabriel, the pronounciation of Aigai is quite simple: E-Yes (the E is pronounced like Echo). The diphthong "AI" is pronounced as "E" unless it carries the just like epsilon.The girl quite possibly did not understand what you were trying to pronounce, as "aey - guy" sounds quite different.... 🙂Handy tip: Just copy the word (in Greek letters, not Latin), paste it into Google translate and klick on the loudspeaker, then you hear it: Αιγαί (the ancient form) or Αιγές (the modern form) Happy travels!
What a great history lesson, I had to watch your video twice to take it all in. Loved listening to you, felt I was taken back in time. The palace would have been magnificent back in the day. This has been one fantastic and educational video. Thank you.❤️😊❤️
Gabriel your videos always educate. We truly appreciate your explorations, I pause your videos and venture down a rabbit hole of research always learning.

The palace ruins are so beautiful.. the amount of history present there is overwhelming... hope i'll have a chance to visit it myself. Thanks for the video and safe travels.
Hi Gabriel, a spectacular day of traveling to the Palace of Aigai weather is starting to change getting hotter and more humid. That Palace must have been very opulent, it's a shame they can't post some modern version of this, it must have been spectacular. A computer rendition to see an image of this. There are videos of renderings of the ancient world on RUclips there may be a rendering of it as well. .
You see it in the museum nearby (also the whole second floor - the palace had 2 floors - is preserved there) ... Gabriel didn't go there. On Yoube there are renderings
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Thanks for the link, true you did visit several places of note. I guess I was most surprised that you hadn't visited Vikos Gorge and the Zagori villages area which IMO is one of the most interesting places in northern Greece.
@@robcanad I did visit Vikos Gorge and several villages in that region, it sounds like you missed some of the recent videos: ruclips.net/video/l3d3GKtvWGE/видео.html Also I visited a lot of mainland Greece on my first two trips, before I was filming videos.
Oliver stone movie Alexander, which presumably what it shows is after considerable research, depicts king Philip murder in the places you visited and even Philip talking to young Alexander in the nearby caves that you visited in a previous video
Gabriel, wonder if some sandal company, Teva or whatever, would do a deal with you. You would be the perfect spokesman for them, thousands of miles and hundreds of places in sandals. Just a thought. Maybe these guys, they are nor cal folks: bedrock sandals.
The Indo-Greek Kingdom was the latest free greek macedonian kingdom (lasted till Christ borned) that conquered quite the whole India: The Heliodorus pillar is a stone column that was erected around 113 BC in central India in Besnagar indicating relations between the Indo-Greeks and the Sungas
This is Great. ☆ @12:56 I wanted to ask if you have tried a squirt if air to blast away dust, followed by a squirt of WD-40. The lubricant might stay effective for weeks ... but, it might be something you've tried already? During ambient noise times as in marketplace, etc. it might be disguised better than when inside an otherwise quiet automobile, for instance. My local bookstore here offers a repeating audio class. We are also learning about microphones used for android phones, etc. including where to aim the single microphone during interviews. I was looking at Corey Gil-Shuster from Ottawa doing street interviews in Greece & just using the ambient noise. So, now I'm wondering if there are directional Mike's he uses, etc. I will have to ask him... thx Mr M. 🌲😎🌲
Looking at that stone path It isn't all original, You can see where they patched it and they also put in accessibility ridges in the stone path. The original stone is still there in places but a lot of it has been replaced in modernized to meet accessibility requirements
the Greeks are the only human army that entered Takla Makan and defeated the Nephilim (easy to enter, difficult to exit, the most dangerous desert in the world) ALEXANDER THE GREAT ENTERED AND CAME OUT WINNER!!!!! ALEXANDER THE GREAT LIVES
Had the same thing happen to me on Syros, wasn't allowed to film inside the Church. Nice video Gabe. :) 9:50 Time the monastery is open on Weekdays and Sundays, depending on the Month. Interesting to see in the Ancient Burial Tomb all the marble slabs have the Greek Alphabet. Macedonia was a region of Greece(Greek State). Other tribes came speaking other languages trying to claim the region as their own. It's pretty much the same all over Turkey, there are Greek ruins with Greek and Roman writing. You don't see Ancient Turkish ruins and writing. If non Greek Macedonians want to claim the area where are their ancient ruins with their Language???.. I'll wait...
Actually, there wasn't any Greek Stats in Antiquity, only Greek Civilization. Macedonia was an Independent Kingdom and it used to have its own Macedonian Dialect of the Greek Language. Now Macedonia is a Geographical Region divided in 5 subregions. West Macedonia, Central Macedonia and East Macedonia are part of the Greece. North Macedonia is an Independent State and there is the Blagoevgrad Macedonia in SW Bulgaria.
@@geoforamorioin fact, only a small part in the southwest of today's northern Macedonia was in Macedonia, as for today's Bulgaria, there was the area where charcoal was prepared and because there were always burning fires, it was called Macedonia of fire (piros)
I actually spent middle school in Athens and studied Greek history and feel like I've learned more from this video. What a great combination of modern travel and historical insights. By the way, I'm sure if you were in a tour bus with 30 other people, you could have also stopped them and made the side visit to the monastery, too. 😀😀😀
Filmed on May 18 which could be one of the biggest periods of time between filming and posting in your video career; you must be somewhere really good since. Warm southern island; Crete? Thanks.
Aigai is pronounced Ege.Ai,with or without intonation is pronounced e.And Oi is pronounced I.So in the word "Koimisis" all the vowels are pronounced simply as I.Another example is Oia (Ia) in Santorini.
AI-αι = always E/e (as in the word "end") [Only when there is (¨ / αϊ) the pronunciation change as a-ee] So the place called Αιγαί = Ege or Eges in modern Greek.
You just can't visit Greece without a big serious plan and of course historical education...Cause you will almost miss everything and will not understand even the basics! Greece has history and things to see and do in every inch of the land.. You MUST be prepared to visit Greece! Otherwise you will fail.
They may be getting close in Egypt, they are literally 10 meters underground and unearthing all kinds of cool things right in the heart of downtown Alexandria
8:12 the entire path is very beautiful and relaxing. So Vatican never been an authority for Greece and that is why Greeks never participated is any crusade?
There were 16 Greek Popes before the schism. Greeks were the first "crusades". Greece has always been under the authority of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople
It depends on what you mean by the tomb. What I showed at the very beginning is the tomb of King Philip. You can't go inside, you can just see it through a protective glass, but you can film from there.
I always rely on RUclipsrs to educate me on history. I get my medical and financial advice from RUclipsrs too. I enjoy seeing the places you visit and the food you eat on your travels, but I can seriously do without history lessons that are often factually inaccurate and highlight biases. Make great travel films. Document your adventures. Save the history lessons for the experts. All the best to you!
Feel free to correct any specific facts, that is welcomed in the comments section here. I'm not going to avoid discussing history in order to not offend anyone, or because I might get a fact or two wrong. I try to pretty much just stick to the verified truth as best as I can. I really don't have a dog in this fight, as they say. I double check whatever I say in my videos and if something is incorrect then I will either edit it out of the video or else add a subtitle correcting what I said.

I'm not going to avoid discussing history in order to not offend anyone, or because I might get a fact or two wrong. I try to pretty much just stick to the verified truth as best as I can. I really don't have a dog in this fight, as they say. I double check whatever I say in my videos and if something is incorrect then I will either edit it out of the video or else add a subtitle correcting what I said.
