ALEXANDER, where should I start with the

I'm not specifically sensitive to you.  I saw where this thread was heading (perhaps too late) and now I deem it has gone astray.  The movie itself does not even address the issue of Macedonian origins, and the best that can be said is that if the Macedonians and/or their royal house weren't originally Greek, by the time of Alexander (as depicted in the movie) they certainly attained a form of Hellenization.  What no one cannot deny is that the Macedonians certainly adopted Greek tactics of battle.  This the movie depicted quite nicely.

My comment was to any statement that goes beyond the scope of this thread, and that meant also yazzmode621, too. 

You misunderstood.  There are, at this time, 15 pages to the Ancient Mediterranean and Europe subforum.  The thread (located on page 10 of the subforum) itself has 7 pages.

I'm not quite sure what is it that you are asking.  If I'm understanding you correctly, I say that while I am perfectly able to answer your question, I chose not to because everything that I know is contained in that thread I've pointed out, and I do not desire to repeat myself, like I have many times in that thread.  All it would lead to is more debate which is totally unnecessary, since virtually every challenge had been addressed to the smallest detail there.

Now, I repeat my warning.  The issue of Alexander's identity belongs to the other subforum.  I'm not even quite sure this thread belongs to this subforum, at least, not anymore, anyway.

We are talking about ancient times, and for sure european have adopted much from eastern civilizations.

are you arranging a competition, who adopted more from whom? stay on the topic man, there were a claim that greec have brought civilization to Persia, which is nonsens. Persians was more civilizied than greecs in the Achemanid era. what has this to do with today europeans?
