Advice: Nitpicking stats to support your absurd claims impresses no one except those who share your absurd claims.

One of the most absurd claims you make is that Macedonians “became” Greek-— Not posible since they were already Greek!

Based on your idiotic statement about “Alexandrine Macedonians” alone most of what you post is suspect.

Do READ a bit. Macedonians during the time of Alexander and his father (hence the term "Alexandrine" Macedonians for short), were looked down upon by Greeks from the Pelopponese as being barbarians with Greek kings -- read up a bit.

Read up also about how the Macedonians and Thracians supported Shahenshah Xerxes when he attempted to subdue the Hellenes.

The Macedonians of that era were NOT "Greek" in the classic sense. In fact, if you go back in history you see that Hellenic civilisation dates from Cretan-Mycenean-Dorian-.... in that progression. When the Mycenea were conquered by the Dorians, the Dorians adopted the higher culture, ditto for when the Macedonians came to control the Greek city-states.

Do you actually read?
