Which of course were NOT Greek because there was no such thing as Greece until the 1800s.


What do you want to call them then, GR! ?

(Because, you know, among those "Ancient Greeks" that Einstein revered were some people from Cyprus. )

Some were Macedonians; a country which still exists today, and some were from kingdoms that no longer exist and had borders not limited to those of modern Greece.

Either way, Greece has no right to claim credit for the deeds of ancients that lived in another time and under a completely different geopolitical scene.

You're neither logical nor well informed. You're trying to obfuscate with silly terms like "geopolitical scene" :roll: When did that little nugget surface?

The real historians have decided, and ancient Greece and its environs are a continuation that leads to what we call, in English, modern Greece. Genetics so far has shown that Greeks have among the most precise and well-tracked groups of people.

Your argument is therefore invalid and you should retire on account of being too stupid to understand history, genetics and politics and because your own "geopolitical scene" is too murky!

They don't decide for me!

I piss on the politically motivated profiteering “historians”, driven by even more corrupt politicians which has resulted in volumes of lies and fairytales they call “history books”!

To sum this up Oracle; I piss on your history books and if you don’t like it I’ll piss on them a second time!
