Ancient Macedonians: Differences Between The Ancient Macedonians and The Ancient Greeks

by J.S.G. Gandeto

To understand the history of the ancient Macedonians, their ethnogenesis and their innermost drives as people, we need to analyze and comprehend, first and foremost, their deeply rooted material culture. Only by sifting meticulously through the thick layered strata of their rich culture can we discover and appreciate who this ancient people were. The rare glimpses into their intricate and deeply carved traditions afford us a window of luxury through which the plumage of their race emerges and becomes recognizable. Coupled with numerous anecdotes recorded and preserved through time and epitaphs that are impervious to politics and change, we now have a sizeable body of truth to know and believe that ancient Macedonians were, what they said they were--Macedonians. It is indeed an illusion to think that ancient Macedonians were Greeks.

[Anastasios Papalias · Rating 1 out of 5]

A very provocative book, with false historical facts and not able to distinguish the Macedonians that wrote and speak the ancient greek language and the Slavs that live in ancient Macedonian ground that speak and write a Slavic dialect.

[Jana Rieck · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent book, shows the long time fabricated truth- and differences between big rivalry of the Macedonians and Hellenes. Highly recommend.
