I did not say is wrong, nor I depend on Iljov claims.
But I did contacted him 2-3 years ago and we had a small correspondence with him where he clarified some things he presented on his website.
I can give you his email where you can ask personally about these controversial for you claims of his, since I'm not his personal follower or a forum lawyer.
Do you think the 'evidence' he presented in the video clip as a 77,000 year old inscription that read "Makedonia" is wrong or just an exaggeration? Is that what you read from the rock,"Makedonia"?
If he made such radiocarbon dating of the rock and the result was unbelievable 77.000 years than he does make an argument of this, doesn't he?
There are some similarities in the name Makedonia and the inscriptions he presented but I'm not a specialist for deciphering such things, so my comment wouldn't have any sense.
I would not call that particular language 'Macedonian' or the inscription signs.
But I am sure there was a common culture and developed civilization on the Balkans thousands of years ago and such example is Vinca, where Macedonia as a region falls into this segment.
Maybe not up 77.000 years but 7.000 for sure.
77,000 years, back in the Neanderthal days. An extreme view is one thing, but making these statements obliges the author to show supportive evidence and logic. I think we need to always criticise what we produce as Macedonians, at least for these particular assertions that are so 'adventurous' and uncorroborated, yet presented on our TV channels as 'the' reason why we should be proud of our name. The dushman's favour is already granted, and, it does nothing to further the Macedonian Cause.
