ancient greeks didn't invent everything – historians did

Feel free to talk about anything that you want.

Greeks need to realize its not what happened BC, its what's happening AD.

Kudos(and I mean it from the depths) to the real Byzantine Greeks who preserved their culture and identity for an entire 400 years!! under Anatolian gypsy rule.
But Constantinople fell in 1453 to the savage Anatolian Islamic trash, independence was achieved through the a war from 1821-1830.
Modern 'Greece' did not exist until 1830.
What is happening NOW is what matters! You just simply can't grab ancient Greek glory and add it on to Modern Greece.
It just doesn't correlate.

I want to see more of their articles. After all, the final sentence of the Greek article stated:

"Moreover, we have some rather disappointing things to tell you about the pyramids, the works of Leonardo da Vinci, penicillin, the Internet, the scientific method, movies, and dogs."

I want to see more! It appears they also built the pyramids! :lol: :lol: :lol:

But one could easily argue that they're in a jovial mood or something!

Come on Simon... it's staring at you in the face! Image

No, it just doesn't suit you!

History is not disposable for your convenience! :wink:

O, there is no discernible connection...
Blaming foreign entities is just evidence to the contrary

Oh dear... another Anti Greek.
Please people, this isn't a Greek bashing forum.
Take your Anatolian rhetoric to a Greek forum or shove it up your ass.
