  We found an very interesting article published by a German speaking Polish Blog, named Universumskristall ( Universe crystal ). We thought, it is worth translating and of course for You, it is much worth to read it... Alexander the Slav by Universumskristall Blog Alexander the Great is an ancient ruler who we believe we have a thorough knowledge of. Hardly anyone has exercised such a fascination on people as he and despite many reports and testimonies, one fact has not been sufficiently taken into account until today, namely that the people from which Alexander was descended actually had little to do with the Greeks.

It is a fearsome collection of authentic testimonies that were taken to the State Archives in Sofia in 1913, as Ljubomir Miletic PhD claims.

One hundred years ago After the Ottoman army left Macedonia, Serbs, Bulgarians and Greeks wante...

Mother language - Macedonian, found in Greek report from 1911 Recently, we got at our disposal another official Greek document, confirming the Macedonian nation and Macedonian language by Greek officials. Greek report from 1911 confirming the Macedonian language as mother language. According to Mr. Dimitar Ljorovski Vamvakovski, a historian from the Institute of National History, whom helped us obtain the original document, the document is from the year 1910-11 it was compiled by a school superintendent of the Greek propaganda in Macedonia, a report on the school of Bitola and its students, it states from which village the students comes from and what was their native language. This is another cruel document that should be further analyzed by the Macedonian historians and incorporated into a broader context. Previously, Mr. Dimitar Ljorovski Vamvakovski helped in finding the order made by the Lerin prefecture from 1954 that prohibits the Macedonian language in Gre...
