    In 1977 were discovered the Palace and the royal tombs of Macedonian kings in Northern Greece,precisely in VERGINA which is a small village in the region of Macedonia(not related with North Macedonia which is a modern state of course).
    The professor of Archeology Manolis Andronikos who discovered the tombs,found also a Golden Larnax 24 carat and 11 kg weight(!!!)embossed with the Vergina sun symbol.
    Inside this larnax they found the bones of the dead,a golden armor and many other golden and ivory artifacts.They said that the tomb was Phillip’s,father of Alexander III.
    But recently,American historians and the top Greek historian Eleni Glikatzi-Arveler(She was Principal of University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne!)developed the theory that the tomb isn’t Phillip’s,but certainly his son Alexander III the Great!
    We have just to wait to be proved.
    Who knows?Maybe we are a step before a great discovery.
    Greetings from Greece.

      Well I will tell you this. This ain’t Alexander for the simple reason the body of Alexander didn’t reach Macedonian he was meant to go there to the ancient city of Pela where his father Phillip II and other Macedonian kings are. But Ptolemy stole his body from the road of Babylon to Macedonia and brought him to Egypt. So if the body is somewhere it must be on Egypt.

    "As for Alexanders family, it is firmly established that he was descended from Heracles through Caranus on his fathers side and from Aeacus through Neoptolemus on his mothers. The story goes that Philip was initiated into the mysteries at Samothrace along with Olympian. She was an orphan and he was still a very young man; he fell in love with her, and on the spur of the moment became betrothed to her after gaining the blessing of her brother Anybbas."

    Of course Alexander the Great was ethnically Greek .
    Alexander and the ancient Macedonians were of
    Greek stock, thay came from the same gene pool
    as other Greek tribes, they spoke Doric Greek,
    they had Greek names, they had a Greek culture,
    they considered themselves Greek, and they lived
    in the Greek Kingdom of Macedonia which is
    todays Greek prefecture of Macedonia.
    There is NO CONNECTION with the FYRmacedonia

    Eugene Borza (specialist about Macedonia): " Modern Slavs, both Bulgarians and Macedonians, cannot establish a link with antiquity, as the Slavs entered the Balkans centuries after the demise of the ancient Macedonian kingdom. Only the most radical Slavic factions-mostly émi-grés in the United States, Canada, and Australia-even attempt to establish a connection to antiquity."
    Eugene Borza: " The twentieth-century development of a Macedonian ethnicity, and its recent evolution into independent statehood following the collapse of the Yugoslav state in 1991, has followed a rocky road. In order to survive the vicissitudes of Balkan history and politics, the Macedonians, who have had no history, need one. They reside in a territory once part of a famous ancient kingdom, which has borne the Macedonian name as a region ever since and was called ”Macedonia” for nearly half a century as part of Yugoslavia. And they speak a language now recognized by most linguists outside Bulgaria, Serbia, and Greece as a south Slavic language separate from Slovenian, Serbo-Croatian, and Bulgarian. Their own so-called Macedonian ethnicity had evolved for more than a century, and thus it seemed natural and appropriate for them to call the new nation “Macedonia” and to attempt to provide some cultural references to bolster ethnic survival."
    Ulrich Wilcken: “The beginnings of Macedonian history are shrouded in complete darkness. There is a keen controversy on the ethnological problem, whether the Macedonians were Greeks or not. Linguistic science has at its disposal a very limited quantity of Macedonian words, and the archaeological exploration has hardly begun. And yet when we take into account the political conditions, religion and morals of the Macedonians, our conviction is strengthened that they WERE A GREEK RACE AND AKIN TO THE DORIANS.”
    Ulrich Wilcken: ” A strong Illyrian and Thracian influence can thus be recognized in Macedonian speech and manners. ‘These however are only TRIFLES compared with the GREEK character of the Macedonian nationality; for example, the names of the true full-blooded Macedonians, especially of the princes and nobles, are purely Greek in their formation and sounds. Above all, the FUNDAMENTAL features of Macedonian political institutions are NOT ONLY GREEK but primitive GREEK’.
    Ruchard Stoneman: " “‘In favour of the Greek identity of the Macedonians is what we know of their language: the place-names, names of the months and many of the personal names, especially royal names, which are Greek in roots and form.’ This suggests that they did not merely use Greek as a lingua franca, but spoke it as natives (though with a local accent which turned Philip into Bilip, for example). The Macedonians’ own traditions derived their royal house from one Argeas, son of Macedon, son of Zeus, and asserted that a new dynasty, the Temenids, had its origin in the sixth century from emigrants from Argos in Greece, the first of these kings being Perdiccas. This tradition became a most important part of the cultural identity of Macedon. It enabled Alexander I (d.452) to compete at the Olympic Games (which only true Hellenes were allowed to do); and it was embedded in the policy of Archelaus (d.399) who invited Euripides from Athens to his court, where Euripides wrote not only the Bacchae but also a lost play called Archelaus. (Socrates was also invited, but declined.)”
    Robin Lane Fox: “he was still in a world of Greek gods and sacrifices, of Greek plays and Greek language,though the natives might speak Greek with a northern accent which hardened ‘ch’ into ‘g’,’th’ into ‘d’ and pronounced King Philip as Bilip“.
    Robin Lane Fox: “To his ancestors (to a Persian’s ancestors) Macedonians were only known as ‘yona takabara’, the ‘Greeks who wear shields on their heads’, an allusion to their broad-brimmed hats”
    Robin Lane Fox: “As for the hired Greeks in Persian service, thousands of the dead were to be buried, but the prisoners were bound in fetters and sent to hard labour in Macedonia, ‘because they had fought as Greeks against Greeks, on behalf of barbarians, contrary to the common decrees of the Greek allies’“
    Robin Lane Fox: “But Alexander replied that he wished to take revenge on the Persians for invading Greece, for razing Athens and burning her temples.”

    Though north and west Bengal were part of the Magadhan empire southern Bengal thrived and became powerful with her overseas trades. In 326 BCE, with the invasion of Alexander the Great the region again came to prominence. The Greek and Latin historians suggested that Alexander withdrew from India anticipating the valiant counterattack of the mighty Gangaridai empire that was located in the Bengal region. Alexander, after the meeting with his officer, Coenus, was convinced that it was better to return.Diodorus Siculus mentions Gangaridai to be the most powerful empire in India whose king possessed an army of 20,000 horses, 200,000 infantry, 2,000 chariots and 4,000 elephants trained and equipped for war.

    It's true that Alexander was Macedonian, but he very much carried on the traditions of his father, Philip. And the Macedonian court of Philip was very much Greek in culture and language. Philip and then Alexander rose in a time when Greek city states were waning, which is how Philip and his son conquered them. Their rule was not iron fisted, however, and till his death Alexander the Great practiced the traditions of a Greek lifestyle.

    language, worshipped Greek gods, had a Greek culture,
    they considered themselves Greek, they had Greek place

    lived in the northern Greek kingdom of Macedonia, which

      Ancient Macedonian tribes were of dorian descent (i.e. Greek stock), like the Spartans, which explains why they were allowed to participate in the Olympics, used the Greek language in their coins, scriptures, tombs, etc, and had the same gods of Olympus. Alexander would be turning in his grave if he knew that Slavs were trying to claim his lineage.

He especially has a fancy to treasures with sarcophagi or on mummy's, the most obvious been Nefertiti mummy which has been discovered and he keeps denying even though anyone can see its her!

      @@dorianphilotheates3769 Tomb of Alexander was located at the main crossroads in central Alexandria. It disappears from the record in 390.
      Tomb of St Mark is first referenced in 392. It is located at the main crossroads in Alexandra. (ie the exact location of Alexander's tomb)
      Mark died some 300 years before. There is no mention of his body or tomb at any point during that entire period until it pops up at the same time Alexander’s tomb disappears and in the same location that Alexander’s tomb was.
      Later the body fromthis tomb is taken from Alexandria and brought to Venice where it is placed in high honour in St mark’s square.
      Interestingly Macedonian carvings and imagery have been found in St mark’s tomb. These match exactly the dimensions of the sarcophagus in the British museum which many believe was Alexander’s (declared as such by Napoleon’s men when they found it (minus the body) in central Alexandria)
      And also (copied straight from google) “Several tidbits of information hint that the body in Saint Mark's may have initially been mummified. There are no circumstances under which ancient Christians would have followed pagan mummification practices. Therefore, mummification points to a different occupant of Mark's tomb.”
      Alexander’s body was mummified. Mark’s was not.
      So. To summarize:
      From 390 Alexander’s tomb is no longer mentioned while a new tomb, St Mark's tomb, appears at the exact same time and the exact same location.
      Body from said tomb moved to Venice.
      Body in St Mark’s appears to have been mummified near definitively ruling that the body, whoever it is, is not St Mark. Alexander’s body however was mummified.
      Macedonian imagery has been found in St Marks in Venice and exactly matches the dimensions of Nectanebo II’s sarcophagus, which many believe held Alexander’s body in Egypt.

He broke the nose of the Alexander's mumia and pulled the famous Ring off his finger..After the comeback to the Rome Kaligula was riding the ridvan and showing everyboady the finger....with Alexander's Ring..There's not for a long time the Tombe was distructed for the private bildings.Mumia was disconnected for the souvenirs..Everything is nothing.

    XenoTrance is correct. I don't know how modern Greeks and Macedonians look at it, and I don't care to go there, but prior to the Hellenistic period the Greeks viewed the people of Macedon as provincial and backward, even though the ruling class of Macedon lived Greek lifestyles. After Macedon conquered Greece under Philip, and after Alexander took the throne, it was the Macedonians who brought Greek culture to the eastern Mediterranean world.
