If Greece was to be held to such standards, woe would be Greece.

at some point you might want to be more specific and stop trolling...

[chequita guevara]

Why would we want to do that?

[Heraclitus]

What trolling MarkG? Who would do a thing like that?

I still think modern Greeks are completely different people from ancient Greeks, just like modern Egyptians are different from ancient Egyptians. I think both these countries should relinquish the rights to their names and hand them over to UNSECO

I rember a pet theory my firend had, he said that the real Greeks had been displaced during the early dark ages. The only group to remain where the Macedonians who then intermarried and became assimilated by slavic immigrants. So in that sense the Greeks should really apologise to the Macedonians for calling themselves Greek. I mean just becasue theri language is derived from ancient Greek dosen't mean they are the same people, heck, by that logic Cubans could call themselves Romans.

when you present some facts to what you described as a "theory", I will
you can start with how the ancient greeks (sans the macedonians) were displaced (where? by whom?)

By several of the Euro-asiatic tribes during the early middle ages, also even before this immigration from other parts of the mediteranean had slowly replaced Greeks.

Also I may as well throw in Turkish apostates who embraced orthodox Christianity in secret.


Is that good enough.
