I remember seeing that photo while i was looking for a place to stay in Crete. Case closed.

So were these very tall, fair haired, blue-eyed people originally Greeks or Slavs? :lol:


You see how i made you look like an idiot?

Do you want to repeat the magic because I completely missed it! :?


Glad to. Pay attention Box Head. Why would The Metropolitan Museum of Art state this?

Likewise, well-established maritime trade routes around the Mediterranean basin enabled foreigners to travel to Greece. In the seventh century B.C., contacts with itinerant eastern craftsmen, notably on Crete and Cyprus, inspired Greek artists to work in techniques as diverse as gem cutting, ivory carving, jewelry making, and metalworking. After the unprecedented military campaign of Alexander the Great (r. 336–323 B.C.), more extensive trade routes were opened across Asia, extending as far as Afghanistan and the Indus River Valley. These new trade routes introduced Greek art to cultures in the East, and also exposed Greek artists to a host of artistic styles and techniques, as well as precious stones. Garnets, emeralds, rubies, and amethysts were incorporated into new types of Hellenistic jewelry, more stunning than ever before. In the ensuing centuries, the Greeks continued to live in these eastern regions, but always maintained contact with the Greek mainland.

You need to re-read that whole paragraph.

Well, I am done for now. I'll slap you some more later. Take care for now.

Μακεδνος -> μήκος, μάκρος -> ψηλός

The tall people.

Tell them that the Italian government lied to them about their history...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCbv3gPx8P4

Tell them that what they found out 25-30 years ago is all lies and part of a conspiracy...

Pehaps you are the part of the only actual conspiracy:

"The Greek people are anarchic and difficult to tame. For this reason
we must strike deep into their cultural roots: Perhaps then we can
force them to conform. I mean, of course, to strike at their language,
their religion, their cultural and historical reserves, so that we can
neutralize their ability to develop, to distinguish themselves, or to
prevail. Thereby removing them as an obstacle to our strategically
vital plans in the Balkans, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East, to
all this neuralgic territory of great strategic importance for us, for
the politics of the USA."

After the Turkish invasion in 1974...
