A fine diplomatic answer.
Here is the problem. You provide a translation of an interview of a prominent Greek professor wherein she uses the racial slur “Skopjans”, followed by “Slavs”, and “Bulgarians”.
You did not repudiate these statements. Indeed, you support her statements.
You agree with professors Borza and Palagia that modern day Macedonians are Slavs/Bulgarians who only adopted a Macedonian consciousness recently.
We take issue with this.
Greek and Western historians work under this paradigm. The ancient Macedonian government used Koine. The Slavs arrived in the Balkans in the 6th century. Modern day Macedonians speak Slavic. Thus, modern day Macedonians are not Macedonians, but Slavs.
This is what I call a linear theory of ignorance.

Originally posted by Amphipolis View PostThis is a google translation (which can be messy) but these terms are accurately translated from Greek. This interview is very long and interesting and the final two questions are also (politically) interesting, I had no intention to censor them (if that's what you wanted).
Now since you agree with the comments that Macedonians are Skopjans, Slavs, and Bulgarians, I asked you for objective scientific evidence to support this hypothesis.
I didn't say I won't answer. It just seemed like a very very generic discussion starting all over again in the wrong thread.
Maybe your Greek friend Panos can provide his thoughts?

I'm pretty sure that there is political manipulation behind it, but it is not fair for the excavation.
Samaras administration is crap all the way! Couldn't agree more.

Originally posted by Amphipolis View PostI can't see any reality show. Actually, I can only complain for the opposite reason. There should be more frequent and extended announcements, there should be more pictures and videos.
I find this annoying. You agree with me in a sense. For instance. There were no photos of the skeleton. Not even a bone. Why do we have to wait until they reach a conclusion and then publish everything? That's because, in my opinion, they want to make it a reality show. This, my opinion again, is directed by the government.
I'm not saying that they are destorting anything about the excavation. I'm only saying that there is manipulation, and I find it annoying.
