Busting the "Vergina Tomb" myth

It is a weak argument that relies more on presumption than substance. For a start, the phonological difference is a key indicator which demonstrates that ancient Macedonian followed the same path of development as the rest of the Paleo-Balkan languages such as Thracian, Illyrian, etc. This is in complete contrast to all ancient Greek dialects.

Check the below link for some discussions on the topic, but refrain from posting there unless you have something of value to add, as it is not meant for general chatter and I don't wish for it to be steered off-topic like certain other threads.

The term 'Slavs' comes with a lot of ambiguity, so you need to be more specific with its application, because in its true context it refers to a linguistic group and not 'we' as an ethnic group. Have a read of the content in the link I just posted so you can acquaint yourself a little more with the origin and development of today's Slavic languages.

That is simplistic and incorrect. How do you figure?

There may be several reasons. But first you need to explore the likelihood of pre-existing commonalities between Paleo-Balkan and Balto-Slavic langauges, to understand why the Slavic languages in the Balkans prevailed where they did.

I agree with you here. And I do think, as i indicated above, that there was, what we might call a pre-Slavonic linguistic continuum right accross eastern Europe, from the Baltic to the Balkans.

No I have nothing against anyone of colour. But I do not think its racist to make a judgement that some cannot be macedonian if they're black.

They, let you use a scalpel without supervision? Has, a doctor ever performed open heart on themselves by mistake?

And, what, you should be a doctor ? Who are you ? what are your qualifications (apart from an obvious expertise on Greek -related homo-erotic S & M )

I'm 30, parent and I were born in Bitola, but their parents came from respective villages. So what about Tarsje, exactly ?

If your 30, you would have come to Aus around 1981. On what visa did you come to Aus. I thought the open door policy to Europeans stopped around 1976.

Please explain

How long do you think it would take to confirm whether there is a 30 year old Macedonian surgeon living in Rockdale?

He said he left when he was 6, which makes it 1987, Australia at that time was almost zero immigration policy, which also has me doubting how he emigrated .
My 1st cousin is a doctor in Bitola, her husband is a dentist, they had the means to support themselves for 2 years, were sponsored by my family and uncle who owns businesses in Perth and were UNABLE to be granted visas under the skilled migrants system in 1985.

Yes, please explain!!

Pan Whaco's must be the most brain dead individuals on the face of this planet. If, they're trying to fool me (dream on) wearing a dress just won't cut it under my extensive radar.

No. Im a surgeon. But I 've been reading a lot of material for several years now. Started about Slavs, but then got hooked into Ancient stuff. What do you want to know exactly ? I can't write an essay for you - didn;t you read my opening sentence ?

Yes I did, I found it interesting. Could you please share some more on the topic at hand, ie busting the Vergina tomb myth. Whos remains were found in the tomb?

[Makedonska_Kafana]

arch you say yo are a surgeon.What branch of medicine you practice.

We are prompted to ask how oral surgeons have upheld the honor of their profession on Macedonian forums?

What is this ? what gives you the right to question my personal life to such an extent. I don;t know I was 6 ! I came here to debate about the Greek mis-representation of archaeological data. you guys are treating me like the enemy. I think i;ve been open enough

Oh, another funny ! And you still think I'm a greek ????

The identity of the person interests me less. I don't really care, TBH. What I;m interested in is what the archaeological evidence from the wider Macedonian region might show us about how Macedonians, their forebears and neighbours lived, were organized, what religion they practiced, how they ruled themselves, and indirectly, what languages(s) they spoke.

[Daskalot]

Not everyone is treating you badly, I am very keen to hear you out. Stick to the topic and bring forward your evidence.
