Contrary to modern Greek claims, Macedonia was never part of Greece, and the ancient Macedonians were not regarded as ancient Greeks. Quite the opposite – the Macedonians conquered Greece and enslaved the Greeks for centuries until Rome conquered Macedonia in 168 BC. The purpose of these pages therefore is:
Contrary to FYROM claims:
1. Ancient sources about Macedonia as a Greek Land (http://http://history-of-macedonia.com/wordpress/2007/03/16/ancient-sources-about-macedonia-as-a-greek-land/)
2. Ancient Greeks references to Macedonians as Greeks (http://history-of-macedonia.com/wordpress/2007/03/16/ancient-greeks-references-to-macedonians-as-greeks/)
3. Roman testimonies about ancient Macedonian ethnicity being Greek (http://history-of-macedonia.com/wordpress/2007/05/19/roman-testimonies-about-ancient-macedonian-ethnicity/)
4. Persian Testimonies about ancient Macedonian Ethnicity being Greek (http://history-of-macedonia.com/wordpress/2007/05/23/persian-testimonies-about-ancient-macedonian-ethnicity/)
5. Indian Testimonies about ancient Macedonians being Greek (http://history-of-macedonia.com/wordpress/2007/05/24/indian-testimonies-about-ancient-macedonians/)
6. Jewish testimonies about ancient Macedonian ethnicity being Greek (http://history-of-macedonia.com/wordpress/2007/05/26/jewish-testimonies-about-ancient-macedonian-ethnicity/)
7. Babylonian testimonies about ancient Macedonian ethnicity being Greek (http://history-of-macedonia.com/wordpress/2007/05/26/babylonian-testimonies-about-ancient-macedonian-ethnicity/)

It will provide scholarly evidence that the ancient Macedonians:
hired mercenaries from Greece, and used the Greeks as foreign allies.
razed Greek cities to the ground.
sold the Greek inhabitants as slaves.
pillaged and burnt Greek cities and countryside.
garrisoned Greek cities (a sure sign of servitude).
were asked to evacuate from the whole of Greece back to their own Macedonia by the Romans.
were hated and cursed by the Greeks.
destroyed Greek religious temples and monuments.
enslaved the Greeks.
were not regarded as Greeks (Hellenes) by the Greeks, nor they regarded themselves to be Greek, but were proud of their Macedonian nationality and way of life.
the Macedonians were called barbarians, a label that the ancient Greeks attributed only to all non-Greeks

Here you will find evidence, both ancient and modern, that proves that the ancient Macedonians were not Greeks, evidence that is indeed overwhelming. To the ancient peoples and to the ancient authors that was not a matter for debate; it was simply an accomplished fact.
The bold part of Gandeto's text is the only truthful line into that orgy of lies.
