"Macedonian nation" was created in 1945. on the basis of "land defines nation" - therefore, these people live in what people in the medieval times would define as "Macedonia" are now a separate people; even though they are actually not. To somehow try to coorelate antique Macedonians to Macedonians now is absurd. The language is totally different (a dialect of Serbian, mixed with Bulgarian), not to mention anything else.

    I believe that one of the most important sources about the Macedonians being part of the Greek world, comes from the Persians themselves. In the lists founded in Persepolis, in which are listed all the people, under the King Darius the First's rule, the Macedonians are called as "Yauna Tabakara". "Yauna", which comes from the "Ionian", is the word that the people of the East use for calling the Greeks since nowdays ("Yunan" etc), and "tabakara" means the particular cover for the head, that the Macedonians wore. So even the Persians, who were the greatest rivals of the ancient Greeks, they referred to the Macedonians as Greeks, 200 years before Alexander the Great.

      Additionally, The Jews, in Daniel (Bible) refer to Alexander III as the Greek king and Macedonia as the Greek Kingdom. In Maccabees I, they refer to Seleucid empire as the Greek Kingdom. In Hebrew is Javan/ Yavan.
      The Indians refer to the era when the Greeks ruled over west India as "The Greek Era" or "Yavana Era" and refer to the Greeks as Yavanas
      The ancient Chinese also had a war with the Greeks in Asia. The event is called "the war of the heavenly horses". The Chinese also called their enemy "Dayuan" (Chinese: 大宛; meaning “Great Ionians”)
      The Romans (in Livy) mention that Macedonians are Greek speaking, and with the rest of the Greeks sometimes they unite sometimes they disunite but in the end they support each other in the fights against the barbarians.
      To conclude, all the neighbours (and occasionally enemies) of the Macedonian kingdoms were referring to them as Greek.

    "Ancient allegations that the Macedonians were non-Greek all had their origin in Athens at the time of the struggle with Philip II. Then as now, political struggle created the prejudice. The orator Aeschines once even found it necessary, to counteract the prejudice vigorously fomented by his opponents, to defend Philip on this issue and describe him at a meeting of the Athenian Popular Assembly as being 'ENTIRELY GREEK'. Demosthenes' allegations were lent an appearance of credibility by the fact, apparent to every observer, that the life-style of the Macedonians, being determined by specific geographical and historical conditions, was different to that of a Greek city-state. This alien way of life was, however, common to western Greeks of Epirus, Akarnania and Aitolia, as well as to the Macedonians, and THEIR FUNDAMENTAL GREEK NATIONALITY WAS NEVER DOUBTED. Only as a consequence of the political disagreement with Macedonia was the issue raised at all."

The dorians Spartans were à bounch of cutthroats and the Macedonians vulgar peasants living by their goats ( what's the name of their capital? ) having no manners or culture. Just because Evripides wrote and performed a few plays up there ( he died and stayed there for good, just because the todays greek lang is formed by Archelaos( since you are so keen in macs you may find out who he was), I do suggest you might find your name in pericles epitaph subparagraph 40 an international well known Greek word nowadays beggining with an m.

    The Atheneans as part of the Ionian tribe, always underestimated the Dorian and the Aeolian Greeks and their dialects, and they always tried to point out their intellectual superiority among the other Greek tribes. For this reason the Atheneans tried to use the term "barbarian" in order to diminish the Dorian and Aeolian Greeks, like the Macedonians, the Boetians, the Aetolians, and even the Spartans sometimes (remember that the Atheneans didn't leave the King of Sparta, Kleomenes the First, to make an offering in Acropolis, with the excuse that he was a "barbaric Dorian", and only when he told them that he was an Achean, they allowed him to do so) who spoke more archaic, rough, and less elaborated Greek dialects, in comparison to the vastly complicated Attic dialect. But at the end, the Koine, the more simple Greek dialect that the Macedonians introduced, became dominant in the Greek world, while the Attic dialect remained in use only by some intellectuals.

    P.S; Karanos was a historical figure. He was the brother of king Pheidon of Argos and is said to have established the kingdom of Macedonia at 700 B.C.
    About Temenos (descendant of Hercules) and his genealogy which was also from Argos is all about myth/religion. Temenos had three sons named Aeropos, Gavanes and Perdiccas. His sons got exiled from Argos. According to myth they ruled upon 12 Thracian tribes of the area and established the first cities of Aigai and Pella. They also said to be the original creators of the Macedonian symbol which depicts a sun. After their exile they got into service of a local king who later refused to paid them. When the three brothers demanded their payment more aggressively the king showed them some dirt on the ground which was hit by some sunrays hitting on the ground. The three brothers considered this as their payment; later they ruled over the land and created used the Sun as their symbol as a remembrance of that ''payment''.
    The latter myth was used by the Argead dynasty, which was historically created by Karanos, in order to prove their descend from Hercules and thus their right to rule.

      @@WanaxTV It's too hard to try this though. There are many versions about genealogy. The most common and secure one though is that Hercules had sexual intercourse with some local woman and her offspring received automatically the right to rule. That's the argument of every city-state or other social entity to prove it's ''Greek-ness''.

    Im aware of the debates about Macedon not being Greek. But I agree with this video.
    and as a Christian and a history lover, I believe what the Bible says in Daniel during the Babylonian empire. The prophet lived around 530 BC.
    He clearly says "king of Grecia" as an oracle of God, and that settles it for me.
    Daniel 8:20-21
    20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. 21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
    Verse about Alexander's death and his four Generals who split the Empire

      Make donia (Greek: Makεбóvεç, MakedóNes) Primarily an ancient Greek people,[1] they gradually expanded from their homeland along the Haliacmon valley on the northern edge of the Greek world, absorbing or expelling neighboring non-Greek tribes , especially Thracian and Illyrian.[2][3] They spoke Old Macedonian, which is usually classified by scholars as a dialect of Northwestern Doric Greek,[note 1] and sometimes as a sister language to Greek[note 2] or a dialect of Aeolic Greek.

      "Yours " ?
      Makedonia is something else .
      Nobody is to be blamed if that Makedon now is Archaeological Cite in South Makedonia as a region .
      We know who we are !
      But you have something suspicious producing tons of propaganda of actually dusted history .

    I like the ancestry of Makedon when he’s descended from Osiris; his brother was Herakles and Anubis in this version. I read: Osiris = Tammuz = Dumuzid the shepherd = Adonis.
    In Greek mythology, Theias was the King of Assyria and father of Myrrha and Adonis. Amongst the Carthaginians, Adon is the son of Phoenix and the nymph Alphesiboeus. Phoenix being a brother of Agenor = Canaan son of Ham.

    Me encanto tu video y forma de explicación.yo creo que falto agregar que los Tesalios y Epirotas quienes limitaban con los macedonios,los consideraban griego,ya que cuando Filipo II se apodero a Tesalia ellos los tesalios le proclamaron Tegon(es decir lider de toda tesalia)cosa que nunca lo hubieran otorgado a un barbaro. Esto demuestra que los tesalios veian a los macedonios como griegos.
    Otro cosa es que los epirotas tenian muchas similitudes con los macedonios,sabias que los reyes epirotas todavia usaban la poligamia,un claro ejemplo es pirro de Epiro quien se sabe que se caso tres veces .
    Otro dato interesante es que los macedonios por breve tiempo aceptaron a un epirota como su rey,y eso dudo que lo hubieran hecho con un barbaro pero so con un griego.en resumen macedonios y epirotas son griego
    Al video le doy un 9/10 ...solo te falto agregar que los judios ,egipcios,Romanos,hindues y persas los veian como griegos.

    It's such a shame that every time a video is made about the ancient Macedonian kingdom, the majority of the discourse boils down to an argument about whether the kingdom was Greek or "Macedonian". It takes away from far more interesting topics that could be explored. This of course wouldn't be the case if the North Macedonians who are slavs and have zero connection to the ancient Macedonian kingdom, didn't spread their lies to the world at every chance they got.

There is NO CONNECTION between SLav Macedonians (a Bulgarian folk) with the ancient Greek tribe of Macedonians fro northern Greece. The modern country called Republic of North Macedonia was created in 1944 by the Yugoslav Comintern out of the Vardar Banovina region of southern Serbia and the name "Macedonia" was invented for it, the reason for this was because in 1944 Yugoslavia wanted to invade and annexe the real original ancient Macedonia in northern Greece, which thankfully never succeeded.

      1. It’s not called Republic of North Macedonia
      2. It’s not a Bulgarian folk but a Yugoslav folk
      3. Bulgarians have their origins in Asia and merely adopted the slavic language and lifestyle
      4. Macedonians from North Macedonia do not think that they are descendants of Ancient Greek speaking Macedonians. Although a percentage of the population certainly is, the most of their DNA is slavic, as is also their ancestors that lived in Ancient Macedonia. That’s also why Methodius and Kirilius went and preached to the Slavic people. There were many tribes of them, the Serbs, the Strumicians and others, living among the Greek speaking Macedonians.
      5. Greek speaking ancient Macedonians were never real Greeks, also German speaking Austria ain't German.

      GENESIS‬ ‭10:1,“Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah;
      Shem, Ham, and Japheth:
      and unto them were sons born after the flood.
      32 These are the families
      of the sons of Noah,
      after their generations,
      in their nations:
      and by these
      were the nations divided
      in the earth after the flood.”
      ‭‭‬ ‭
      DEUTERONOMY‬ ‭32:8-12
      “When The Most High DIVIDED
      to the nations THEIR inheritance,
      when HE separated The Sons Of Adam,
      HE set THE BOUNDS OF The People
      ACCORDING
      to The NUMBER Of The Children Of Israel.
      For The Lord 's portion IS HIS PEOPLE; Jacob IS The Lot Of His INHERITANCE.
      HE found him in a desert land,
      and in the waste howling wilderness;
      HE led him about, HE instructed him,
      HE kept him as the apple of HIS eye.
      As an eagle stirreth up her nest,
      fluttereth over her young,
      spreadeth abroad her wings,
      taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so The Lord alone DID lead him,
      and
      there was no strange god with him.”
