You have no idea of my ethnicity, yet you feel enboldened to try a smear. I think it says quite a lot about you, however. You and the other two Hellenes show the same traits as so many of your countrymen, manic insecurity wrapped in petulant insignificance.

Yes, Southern Macedonians (Hellenes) did the same with Alexander the Great.

People need to stop using the word "migrants" to describe these invaders. A migrant is one who moves from one country to another and LEGALLY gains entrance. Invaders storming borders are not migrants. Until people call them for what they are, this will be an on-going problem. I do find it...

Please provide proof it was discredited.

Vallicanus, I found what I was looking for: "Greeks are found to have a substantial relatedness to sub-Saharan (Ethiopian) people, which separate them from other Mediterranean groups. Both Greeks and Ethiopians share quasi-specific DRB1 alleles, such as *0305, *0307, *0411, *0413, *0416, *0417...

Not strange at all, my friend. All I meant is they have very similar DNA. MyHeritage, as an example, groups Greeks and Southern Italians (Sicilians) together. Whether Sicilians migrated to Helles or vice versa, or a combination of both, who knows. I read somewhere that there was also strong DNA...

No. I believe he was talking about actual Hellenes being Southern Macedonians. It was the Romans that started referring to the territory as "Greece" (Graeci), and it wasn't until Late Antiquity (c. 3rd - 7th centuries) that Hellenes referred to themselves as "Greek." Persians called them...

Revisionist history! Macedonians conquered the Greeks at Chaeronea, they never felt "Greek" since it didn't even exist at the time. Macedonia existed on the periphery of Hellas or Hellada. Those people referred to themselves as Hellenes. The insecurity amongst modern-day Hellenes is comical.

During the reign of Alexander the Great, the Macedonians spoke their own native language, as the native language language of Alexander the Great was not understood by the ancient Greeks (Quintus Curtius Rufus, VI, 9, 37 ). Similarly, Plutarch points out that Alexander spoke to his fellow...

DNA of modern-day Hellenes is Italian more than anything.

They absolutely did not!
