Ancient Pella - The heart of Macedonia

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - There had to be some mixing of course, they were neighboring nations but they were not Greek.

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - Athy, you profess your Macedonian origins now because it is politically correct as defined by the current Greek government. Had you done the same thing prior to 1991 you and your family would have been persecuted beyond your wildest imagination by the same government that you so much agree with now. I know people directly that this has happened to. Unbelievable atrocities rivaling the worst of the Third Reich.

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - There's nothing courageous nor anything to proud of by agreeing with a tyrannical government propaganda. You are not the true blooded Greeks you claim to be. True Greeks would not behave so uncivilized unable to converse without resorting to name calling or denying ones linage. You should have learned something from the Great Greek culture from our fathers and our father's father. What if I was your neighbor next door, would you still treat me with such hatred? Be cool brother.

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - I wish I could write in Greek as well as you write in English. My spoken Greek is good but my reading and writing is terrible. I commend you on yours English ability, its very good.

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - As they say in the United States when they see something they don't understand, "It looks Greek to me!"......

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - It's only because of the friends and family I have in Greece that are affected by policies that create animosity and division of a people that can only lead to destruction of a great country. Slavs, Turks, Whites, Blacks, we are all human. A policy of compassion and Glasnost (openness) will forever cement Greece's territorial borders better then this conflict of disputed heritage and legacy. Long live Greece and the Greek idea of peace.

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - Bro, you need to understand that there are Macedonians not only in Greece (where prior to 1991 were bared from openly calling themselves Macedonian), but in southern Bulgaria and in the south of the former Yugoslavia. Recognition of only the Macedonians in Greece is the provocation and will lead to nothing good for no one. Peace through mutual respect and recognition everyone wins. Or like a child you can continue the possessiveness with the toys and end up alone and isolated.

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - Perhaps on my next visit I could trouble you to show me what you know. Who knows, we might even fall in love. They say opposite attract and we are as opposed as any one can be.

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - When you say Greece you're talking about the government, right? If so then, "Are you Kidding?" They attacked and denied the existence of 30% of it people prior to 1991 and did everything it could to wipe the existence of Macedonia and their most hated enemy Alexander the Great from the history books as a post WW II agreement made with the butcher Tetoe of Yugoslavia and the Soviet dog Dimitrov of Bulgaria.

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - For one, SkatoSlaviaShameless.

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - Oliver Stones version of Alexander the Great was a great insult of a great leader of antiquity. He portrayed him to be a sniveling whining crying homosexual. If you believe in this travesty of a movie as the truth of whom Alexander was then you should have no problem in believing the Greek governments propaganda that Macedonia was born Greek.

Nov 2, 2009 - you are a slav which immigrated to the balkans a few hunderd years ago. greek propoganda? well go on wiki, any encyclopaedia, ask any historian and they will tell you. MACEDONIA- a land to a northern greek tribe who called themselves macedonians. alexander born in pella, in greece. better yet, watch documentaries by michael wood, he will share some light on your barbarian mind.

ath4ever Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - ApolloTech@ If i show you what i know and what exists in Pella and in Macedonia in general, you will be surprised. When i speak about :Greece i don't mean the goverment. Greece is a noble idea, it's the nation consisting of those wonderful people, it's also the History.

ath4ever Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - Regarding the fact that we don't "accept the neighbor", then once more you are completely wrong. We do accept anyone, and you see how many immigrants we have here which are treated very well. But when our "neighbors" have territorial and historlical claims, do you suggest in the name of peace, to open the door and let them enter inside? This is not peace. This is stupidity and madness.

ath4ever Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - The only reason Oliver Stone's Alexander movie was not liked by some people is not the fact that presented Alexander as homosexual but the fact that Alexander showed clearly his Greek origin and wanted to fight "for the freedome and glory of Greece". Slavs did not like it, what can we do? Btw, ever since homosexuality was considered a bad thing in ancient Greece? Come on, you are open minded, right? I don't think this shocked you in the movie, the other think shocked you

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - Alexander the Great, the King of Macedonia, conqueror of all of Greece and the Persian Empire was the greatest military geniuses of all times. There were many reasons why this movie was not liked. Nothing in Olive Stones movie came close to portraying this powerful historical figure. He was not the cry baby, or a whining bitch or the sniveling coward Stones homosexual historical advisers falsely implied in an effort to legitimize their own perverted existence.

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - This might have been popular by them boy lovers in Athens and 'christdone' but in Macedonia homosexuals were relegated to servants not Kings.

ath4ever Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - Stop seperating Macedonia from Greece, from a big distance everything on you shouts you are not a Greek! You can't fool anyone

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - Wrong again honey, Greece has always refused to acknowledge any non-endogenous Greek immigrants. In the latest publication of the US Today Almanac, Greece claims that its population consists of 98% Greeks with 2% non-Greeks.

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - I am a product of Greek ancestry but first and foremost a natural born American. I care nothing for Macedonia or their murderous king(s). My love is for the soul of my beloved Greece that is being poisoned by a paranoid schizophrenic government. The faith and hope is that all Greeks will eventually recognize the real enemy of our age and remove the head of this hydra.

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - Athy, I'm sure I would be surprised and would immensely enjoy a personalized tour by someone such as yourself with such passion and love of history. You might be surprised as well and learn to hate me less.

ath4ever Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - Hate you? No, i don't hate you. I just ask you to be more open minded,not to the politicians but to the History of my country which you insist is your country also.

ApolloTech Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - Thank you Athy for your advice, you seem like a good person, Pella is very fortunate and blessed to have a daughter like you. Will always keep an open mind regardless of the forces that would narrow or close it. It has been difficult at times and the source of some problems but nothing that would be worth complying with flawed or misleading idealism.

ath4ever Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - Thank you, you said good words about me personally, i am proud of Pella, I am proud of Greece. Not in a nationalistic narrow-minded way but in a way that this country deserves. If you really try harder (and not allow the "forces" to narrow or close your open mind), maybe you'll see there is something else also besides this 'misleading idealism"

SkatoSlaviaShameless Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - Macedonians were Μακεδόνες r now Μακεδόνες will remain Μακεδόνες forever, either you FyroMonkeys agree or not, it's a fact sealed in all history books in the entire worlds Universities, HISTORY IS WRITTEN, no need to prove it, u Slavs thieves will remain the thieves of history in all world's eyes, hopeless Timeless, "ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ" is a Greek word in the Northern Region of the Hellenic Republic :-) Remember that study this lesson well.
