About 2300 years ago someone named Alexander of Macedon conquered the Persian empire, If we want to know who he was and where he came from then we should read the historical sources of both sides, ancient Persian sources, like Arda Viraf Namag and Denkart, say that Alexander was an Egyptian and came from Egypt, the important point is about the name of Egypt,

Impossible. There is too much evidence of the Macedonian dynasty, and it's location in continental Greece; I personally regard the Macedonians as a "highland Greeks", "the red-necks of the Greeks" if you will, up to the time of Phillip the father of Alexander. This ancient Persian source may have been confused by the fact that Alexander conquered Persia after conquering Egypt, this making him the ruler of Egypt. So, form the Persian point if view, the ruler of Egypt, Alexander form Egypt, conquer it, not that Alexander was Egyptian himself. The fact that by this time Alexander saw himself as the son of Ammon /Zeus-Ammon, to be precise, seen is one and the same god/ the could have contributed to this conclusion  too.

Never say never Don!Look at the film where main character lives many virtual lives and die after he try to
kill himself believing it is virtual but true!Do you know meaning of"Si" slavic and italian?"Kak si","kako si"?
Wink Arabs call it "Misir" they call it "Mouth of the bird" it feeds them!And ancient name was AGjuPoToN.It means that,their mouth of the bird(Turkey?),covers&feeds&shelters them!Big smile
P.S.
Mouth of the Bird is Nile!

@ Cyrus Shahmiri,

I checked out the Arda Namag's account but it contain no mention of Alexander as being Egyptian. Instead it states that Alexander was a Roman from Egypt (?). It was presumably a confusion with Egypt of Roman period, was not it?

Alexander is depicted as fair-skinned, not black. If he was of Egyptian descent it would have to be many generations back (great-great grandparents or earlier)

I have to disagree with you, Master of Meaning. The Greeks became part of the Egyptian civilization only after Alexander, and only because Egypt became part of the Greek world. Before that there was some cultural influence fro Egypt on Greece - in the archaic art, possibly some medicinal knowledge, etc; but ethnically the Greeks are Indo-Europeans, and the Egyptians - Semites /and mixed wth others/some would say Black Africans/. Greek is Indo-European lanugage, Egyptian is Afro-Asiattic, with no more cnnection between then save this one that if all people came out from one little group iin Etiopia, then all languages did the same - sprang from the language of that small group.

So the connections that you found between Greek and Egyptian, IMHO, date from far older time, long before there were Egyptians or Greeks, but only some nebulous people living Africa like 70 000 years ago or so. This has nothing to do with Alexander, and the Greeks; nor were the Greeks ethnically  related to Egyptians, and tthe DNA tests nowadays prove that.

I told you my opinion about the words in Origin - since all languages have one sourse, as all people came from one gruop, it's normal some words to be the same; besides there are loaned words, and Greeks and Egyptians have connections etc. So not the aliens did it, humans did, but this happened long before Aexander.

Otherwise I don't mind little disagreement, Master of MeaningSmile

The ancients (Greeks and Egyptians) were poles apart, actually. Their civilizations were as distinct as those of ancient China and India. Confused

Language, religion, culture, sports, arts etc. they were almost completely different, in fact. Even in terms of looks, the Greeks always described the Egyptians as of "dark complexion".

"Roman" meant "Westerner" in the Sassanid times, in fact Sassanids called all peoples who lived in the west of their empire as Roman, maybe for this reason modern Turkey was called "Rome" even in the Islamic times.

Cyrus is close to the clue:Ex part of "Egyptians"&"Greeks" became Romans.Titan have a right century:4 hundred B.C,low part of it....It is connected with Alexander 3-The Great....And big migrations after His dead
from Asia&Africa(???) toward European continent.New Indu-Europeans  had  created next 2 known Empires:(One=Roman) East &West.History remake have been done during this period and we still live their
time.SmileRegards Cyrus.

Its correct to say that Alexander has win Egypt (the strongest and most powerfull empire in the age of Nefertiti and her stepson Tut).
Alexander was born in Pella.town in Macedonia.

Strangely the Queen of Sheba is also called Makeda, and Hatshepsut is also called Makera.
Alexander said his ancestors were from India (either India or Ethiopia)
If Yauna is Javan then perhaps Macedon is Magog??
'Sharrukin' once mentioned that he had a theory on the origin of the Macedonians and i have always wondered what it was.

And you are in violation of the CoC. Also all caps is shouting and the attitude is offensive.
A repeat offense and you'll be banned.

            Is that clear?
