Aulis -Possible Ancient greek city

[Makedonetz]

I have a colleague i work with and he is greek and a great supporter and doesn't discriminate. He was telling me his family goes way back and his historical family tree was they were merchants who mingled with Alexanders army. Could he be this pure Greek greece is desperately trying to portray now. Anyone have some history about this city, he said it was near Sparta?

While it's not clear what you're saying here, there are no Greeks with family history going back to Alexander's Army (i.e. 100 generations). The oldest family trees are of Royal European Houses related to (Eastern) Roman Emperors, i.e. 20 to 30 generations ago, or various Greek families going back to 15-16th Century (the max).
Avlis is a famous Greek City, the location where the ships set sailed for Troy. It's not close to Sparta.

Once a greek told me that he was a descended from the "ancient greeks". Now, if you think about it, they are getting these type of propaganda stories from their grandparents.

Could he be this pure Greek

No. He's nazi grandparents lied to him, just like their parents and grandparents lied to them.

I'm sure he's a nice person, but I don't believe the fella.

Thessa

How can that be possible greece not going back to Alexsander?? doesn't greece "proclaim" their lineage goes way back to 2000 years? oh right i forgot your not even greek just some merchant Vlach that came from Romania?.....shot yourself in the foot there Budala

DCH

Yes he is a great guy and i consider him a true friend as he is passionate with history like Alexander and other points in history along with Macedonian history aswell. The thing is he was raised by his grandparents and is researching his past as he was telling me there is alot of history in his family tree.

Ask him to show you some of his research and his family tree.

I still think his grandparents are telling him fantasy stories. No evidence, no believe.

Not being negative or anything, just need evidence to all this, that's all.

[Makedonetz]

Yeah i have asked him but to no avail yet. Oh well atleast we are not diluted when it comes to our own history.

[DirtyCodingHabitz]

I can trace my family back over 200 years. Far as my grandfather remembers about his grandfathers, they lived in the exact same village in Prilep/Golemo Kojnari, we still own the same land .

Our family has had many troubles with the Ottoman Turkish army, they killed 2 of our family members when they were leaving in 1912 .

When the Nazi German army came to Prilep and established aerodrom/army base in Golemo Kojnari, my grandfather and his cousin stole windows from their base lol.

The Nazi German commander that was in charge, he came to our village in the mid 70's and was taking photos with his daughter .

No, and I can't forgive you for making me watch 4 or 5 minutes of it. This is not a Muslim of Thrace. This is a Greek Christian whose family moved to Germany when he was a kid, and there he saw the Light and converted to Islam. (He tells his life story in this video).
AaLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLah!

What?! are you serious you have started a thread about this? come on how could he possibly know from that long ago, stupidity.
Every Greek would make up stories about this type of thing, does that make them a pure Greek? but because he is a good friend of yours he is the exception right?

Please think about what threads you start, for the sake of the forum's integrity.

Already, i don't think the Turks in Thrace dress like him and walks around like that. He is dressed in Arabic style and Turks doesn't wear cloths like that.


It`s so obvious that Wahabi movement converts these people to islam. First of all, he doesn't have to grow beard and use Jewish like white cap on his head 24/7 or dress up pure white like Arabs. These are just for show and nothing to do with islam.


I am telling you, Wahabis converted more people in Europe in just 20 years, than the Turks did in 600 years.


Btw, LOL, "Hamza Al Yunani"

Dtg i have to agree with you,how the hell can you have a greek city containing macedonians.Isn't that so fancifull.Ofcourse people beleive in the greek myths which were make beleive peices of crap.Why are people wasting their time??

[Makedonetz]

All i was saying was the city of Aulis being a port city, with the expansion of Aleksander's army one wonders if they crossed that city. The funny thing is his last name is Aulis....ironic isn't it

Thanks DtG. Agreed.
Makedonetz, really?

[fyrOM]

Makedonetz if you are interested I might find a bridge to sell you…no one could possibly trace there family tree to Alexanders time.

DCH I have heard of Golemo Kojnari from someone because of the aerodrome. I think it is on the same road to Krivogastani and Krusevo on the right hand side from Prilep and the acrodrome is supposed to be on the left or vise versa. Although I totally missed seeing the aerodrome the one time I went to Krusevo probably not paying attention but also I think its supposed to be a paddock type thing for crop dusting planes.
