Demos, Greeks have been given the benefit of the doubt by Western historians for 200 years now. In the last 5 years, more of the modern Greek identity has been deconstructed on the internet than all of the last 100 years. Information is increasingly available and all assumptions need to be challenged. Why is this so hard for you to deal with?

As an example, a few years ago we never had anybody even acknowledge the existence of Macedonians in Greece. Now we have documents confirming this. You appear unable to answer this "remarkable" phenomena, but you have your reasons.

Since Latin script comes from Greek, i guess you just used Phoenician script...
Your profound hate against anything Greek, throws a shadow to any argument you may present..

TerraNova, are you that naive to equate a dislike for moronic assumptions with a dislike of anything Greek? Perhaps you have noticed a key parallel between the two.....

I didn't comment the "Thracians using Greek alphabet means they are Greek" Hypothesis (which i find baseless and false),

but the use of the term "Phoenician" for the Greek alphabet,used by Thracians.

Greeks did not exist back then. I find it hard to make such silly statements that people like you base entire arguments on. Show me one shred of evidence with the Thracians (ummm, or anyone) calling the text as "Greek". I will hold my breath until you get back to me.

the alphabet used in the few Thracian inscriptions found (as well as words on various Thracian coins and artifacts) is the Greek alphabet.
It is not the Phoenician.
The language is not Greek.
Am i clear enough ?

I agree; the alphabet is Greek, but the words are not Greek and I do not understand their meaning. The words though found on Macedonian sites are both Greek in alphabet and in meaning as we see for example in the Pella Katadesmos inscription which was written by an average Macedonian woman.

By an educated Macedonian woman that used the Attic language to write the text.

Pella Katadesmos is NOT in attic dialect.

TerraNova and Demos, isn't there evidence of ancient writers themselves calling these letters Phoinikos (Phoenician)? It is an undisputed fact that most Greek letters are originally Phoenician. What's the problem?
