The people who speak Greek today speak it because their parents spoke it who learned it from their parents who learned it from theirs. Going all the way back to people like Homer, Solon, Socrates, Pythagoras, Alexander The Great, etc. Why does this make people mad? There was no single moment where Greek "stopped" and a new language replaced it and then Greek was later "revived".People get mad because they romanticize the ancient Greeks as some pale, marble, Nordic fantasy race and then look at modern Greece - darker, Mediterranean, poor, Balkan - and assume "something must have happened." Instead of accepting boring reality (languages and cultures are passed parent to child and change gradually), they invent replacement myths to protect the fantasy. Continuity threatens them because it means the past is not dead or abstract or theirs to cosplay with - it belongs to real, imperfect, living people, and greatness does not guarantee eternal dominance.
>>18258116Greek culture is so distinct at least from what it was in classical era that modern people would be derided as Barbaroi above a German man who knows their language and the texts of Homer, Plato, Heraclitus, etc
>>18258116And then there was Angela Merkelous two thousand years ago and morphed everything into brown sludge.
>>18258145barbaroi was a buzzword for "things i don't like", with in-group preference in mind. They always considered non greeks as barbarians.
>>18258196no there wasn't, and if you keep making these claims about us do not be surprised when we hate you
>they invent replacement myths to protect the fantasy.They were literally conquered by the Ottomans for 300 years.
>>18258354show me a single genetic model that demonstrates significant Turkic DNA in Greeks
>>18258116Greeks are still great tho. Their diaspora always has super high educational and financial success and there always seems to be a Greek somewhere at the top of a company or organization even though they’re a very small population globally. They’re pretty much Jews without the bad press. A Greek American almost became president of the US which is a position that not even Latins, Jews, or Italians have gotten close to and the US had an Anglo-Greek vice president in the 70s.
>>18258277I’ve read accounts of Scythians and other foreigners living inside Greek lands. They weren’t racial egalitarians like modern commies or something but also I’d imagine they’d feel more kinship to someone raised in that culture as opposed to a modern Hellenic who is a Christian and completely bastardized from ancient polytheism.
>>18258429Is.... is that meant to be a joke?
>>18258539yes, idiot, show me evidence of this great mixing with the turks and the nordic dorian kangz, go on
Ancient Greeks were pale blond nordics that ruled over swarthy pelasgians, modern day Greeks are the descendants of these pelasgians, actual Greeks went extinct :)
>>18258116Greeks probably never looked like Scandinavians, but do you really think 400 years under Turkish rule didn't change your genetic makeup at all?
>>18258623The Greek genome has been the exact same since Byzantine Empire. That's what all research says on the subject. Anyone of a Muslim father was considered Muslim and conversion to Christianity was regarded as apostasy which had the death penalty in Islamic law, so the gene flow only went one way. You're just dumb, and even the nordicists like this turd >>18258620 will claim something unfalsifiable like there was some kind of strict secret caste system where the 0.0001% blonde elites died out unlike the brown helots or that they were replaced by slaves from the Levant, along with conspiracy theories about the bones of the blonde kings destroyed by the Greek government which is a favorite of Bronze Age Pervert. Your descendants (if you have any) will be black wiry haired Brazilianesque niggers though and I'll laugh at it as a well deserved punishment because of all the filth and lies you lot spread about Southern Europeans. The clock is ticking.
>>18258634You're falling for their bait. Only a very small percentage of people actually believe in nordicism, and they're all online.
>>18258620Many Ancient Greeks writers make no distinction between Greeks and Pelasgians. Some say there's a difference, some say they're both the same people.
>>18258749Historically, many famous German figures did support Nordicisim. Not really shocking it could make a comeback.
>>18258277>>18258441Persians weren't considered "barbarian" though it was just that their empire was too big to not have foreign cultures as the vast majority of it's population
>>18258749Not surprising given the absolute state of /his/. Apparently every nation in Europe and Levant was once nordic aryan before the fallen angels came and had evil sex to corrupt the weak females of the once perfect race and thus produced nephilim barbarians.If this sounds like shit only /x/ and /pol/'s miscarried fetus could make up, that's exactly what /his/ is now.
>>18258620
>>18259123Shut up retard. The founding population of the roman republic was western european dna, french, dutch, southern german. Later it became levantine latifundium slave sludge. This is a fact.
>>18258282Not all of us do this it's mostly anerimutts
>>18258634>The Greek genome has been the exact same since Byzantine EmpirePeople always say this, but this is at odds with just basic observation of how Greek people actually look like. https://youtu.be/b9pzC1knlVw?=CJkPKdhHl8MOm6NJThis is a random street interview. Look at the guy at 7:25, he wouldn't stand out in Western European. Meanwhile, the fat guy with a beret at 1:10 clearly looks Balkan or Turkish or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv06CWySLzUSame here. Compare the kid at 2:35 to the guy at 3:13.You don't get this variance in phenotype when everybody is genetically the same.
>>18259376no
I really don't mind greeks, but the constant wewuzzing of people like you is downright pathetic. Greece would still belong to the turkroach horde if it weren't for western europeans liking ancient greece so much.
>>18258116I was with you up until Alexander the Great. He was Serbian.
>>18259477serbs are half slavic
>>18258116>People get mad because they romanticize the ancient Greeks as some pale, marble, Nordic fantasy race and then look at modern Greece - darker, Mediterranean, poor, Balkan - and assume "something must have happened."Yeah, because it did happen. Here's Greece's genetic evolution over the years. The Yamnaya (or "northern European") admixture (as a percentage) has been rising century after century. Then after the Classical period, immigration from the Near East was introduced, which shifted the Greeks to that direction.
>>18258116>>18259511And here's autosomal admixture. The Ancient Greek admixture is nowadays at 51%, on average. The Slavic admixture stands around 10%. And the rest is the Near East, with a very small western European trace.
>>18259514Add ionians from Mugla
>>18259514>Macedonia HellenisticDafuk is that? Some half churka/Albanian abomination.
>>18259514>>18259572meme g25 slopmodern greeks are kinda 2/3 ancient greek and 1/3 slavic
>>18259584>modern greeks are kinda 2/3 ancient greek and 1/3 slavicThen where does the swarthyness come from?
>>18259811swarthiness is the initial configuration of people
>>18259511So what you're saying is the original Greeks were even darker and swarthier than they are today. And Yamnaya admixture bleached them a little bit.
