Does the Box Head know where or what is the The Metropolitan Museum of Art? Its not as popular as youtube but it still has some valuable info like this below:

The following abridged list of rulers for the ancient Greek world is primarily for the rulers of the Hellenistic age (323–31 B.C.), after the time of Alexander the Great. In the preceding centuries, the dominant geopolitical unit was the polis or city-state. Greek city-states were governed by a variety of entities, including kings, oligarchies, tyrants, and, as in the case of Athens, a democracy.

Why would the most popular museum in America state this:

http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/tacg/hd_tacg.htm

During the mid-fourth century B.C., Macedonia (in northern Greece) became a formidable power under Philip II (r. 360/59–336 B.C.), and the Macedonian royal court became the leading center of Greek culture. Philip's military and political achievements ably served the conquests of his son, Alexander the Great (r. 336–323 B.C.).

From the beginning of his reign, Alexander the Great envisioned himself as the champion of the Greeks against the Persians and their other enemies,

Those are all the same people. They would have arisen from that broad sweeping arrow of ONE haplotype you presented earlier! :lol:

Why, Why? Would the British Museum state this?

In 336 BC Alexander the Great embarked on a programme of territorial expansion, which would eventually extend the boundaries of the Greek world to Egypt in the south and to India in the East.

Is it all one big conspiracy?

They were recovering from massive earthquakes/ tsunami destruction etc. Every major civilisation has had a "dark ages" - no mystery! Cyprus' Dark Ages were longer, where they not? It doesn't mean you have a miraculously different group to replace the native people - a gradation, perhaps. We've already established how closely related all the peoples in this part of the world were at that time.

Why would The British Museum state this Box Head?

Following the death of Alexander and the division of his empire, the Hellenistic period (323-31 BC) saw Greek power and culture extended across the Middle East and as far as the Indus Valley.
