If you knew any history about you would have stumbled upon the fact that Greeks where not one tribe but multiple ones that inhabited in different regions and where all connected with the same language education and religion the rest where considered barbarians macedons where one of those Greek tribes today North Macedonia is just Slavs not connected to any part with ancient Macedonia.Many Greeks inhabiting Greek Macedonia do not consider them selves just Greeks they are Macedonians before anything else but non the less North Macedonia to us is considered a nation trying to appropriate our history just to have an identity of their own@@Alexander-w9i3r

Joe, recommend getting Michael on if you are interested in Alexander. Here is the book from the TV series. In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great by Michael Wood
Im in love with this time period and cultural exchange. Greeks converting to buddhism. Greek coins with Zeus rolling the wheel of dharma. Amazing cultural exchange.

The sad thing about this is, these people were or are Greek by way culture and tradition, but Greece proper never thought of them as such once the Hellenistic period ended. Technically the people of marseille were or are Greek as well some people in eastern spain, eypyt, eastern scilly, or southern italy. However if you were to ask a Greek from today, medieval times, or even the high imperial period who is Greek when ask who is Greek they might not recognize any one who didn't reside inside of greece proper itself. Not unlike people who say they are European (or have *incert xyz nationality* heritage) when they live somewhere in the Americas but not according to Europeans born in Europe. Once you leave the mothership for some reason you cease to exist.

Many times in history one would conquer another. But they were all Greek.

That's because Alexander enlisted many people from Thrace and Illyria into his army. Some these people were related to the Celts of central europe. Eastern Celts tribes that made up partially what people called illyria. They had mostly fair hair and eyes while the thracians were famous for being red heads. The Macedonians themselves were probably descended from both groups and were only Greek by culture which was fairly recent thing. Genetically they were a entirely different set up people.
Little? It was one of the largest empires in human history. It was bigger than the Roman Empire. Alexander the Great had more of an influence then you ever will. He influenced so many other great military generals like Hannibal, Caesar, Wellington, and Napoleon. Unlike you who will just be forgotten when you die, we still remember and speak about Alexander the Great to this day more than 2,300 years later.
Joe needs to get more historians on
Legit ones
We all love history I think this Is a great idea
That guy is better than a historian if u knew his background
Alexander was Macedonian king and from Europe to India was Macedonian Kingdom... it's so wrong when politics take new history.
My roots are from Afghanistan and my ancestors emigrated to India many years ago. Our DNA is 20% Mediterranean from the time of Alexander the Great
So.. you're saying that, you have some Greek in You?!
Unlike Greeks ,Alexander and Macedonians were blond and tall aryan looking like.

Stop spreading untruths if he wasn't Greek Macedonian why would he spread a Language different to his own????

Modern DNA tests prove your theory wrong! No Greek or Macedonian DNA haplogroup is found in Afghanistan.
Light skin and blue eyes are not foreign to Afghans and it's not because of foreign influence. These features are native.
