Feels bad.
This world, and everyone in it, belongs to the Greeks.
I hope you’re not confusing modern Greeks for ancient ones desu
Is there any real difference?
Despite being under Roman and Turkish heel for most of middle ages and modern era, they managed to save their language and culture.
Arguably, Byzantine Empire was Greek.
PVSHTVNS ARE GREEK BVLLS
Yes there is. Modern Greeks are a mongrel race of twenty different peoples, Greeks don’t deny this but get mad. At the same time they larp as hellenes. The Byzantine empire was Greek but not Hellenic. Modern Greeks and medieval Greeks spoke Koine, a Syrian dialect of Ancient Greek. Besides keeping language and culture doesn’t mean being the same as the original people that spoke it. Romans died out as an ethnicity around 300 AD or so.
*Ahem*
And then the Scythians overran it.
>pelasgian
>Ancient Rome
>ancient greeks
Not how Greeks are some of the closest modern day people to Mycenaeans. The other ancient southern Europeans are far too "south" of modern southerners.
*Note
>At the same time they larp as hellenes
How do they LARP if they never stopped using it in first place?
>Modern Greeks are a mongrel race of twenty different peoples. Besides keeping language and culture doesn’t mean being the same as the original people that spoke it
It pretty much does. As long as there is integrity and continuity, it doesn't really matter what is your original ethnicity. Most of "Romans" were romanized Etruscan, Italic peoples, etc. Most of "Prussians" were Germanized Slavs and Balts. And so on.
And are any of these genetics from the elites of Mycenaean society???
Modern Greek language isn’t the same as Ancient Greek language and the cultures are completely different with modern Greek being more Levantine. Here are the people that replaced the Hellenes:
>southern Italians
>anatollians
>Armenians
>Slavs
>Albanians
>Spaniard
>Syrians
>Palestinians (arabs)
>Georgians
>some goths
>some Nordics
>some huns
>some other tribes
>Turks
>And are any of these genetics from the elites of Mycenaean society???
IDK about all of the details but these seem to be all of the Mycenaean samples that have been tested to date. Since elites tend to be better preserved, there is no reason to assume that they wouldn't be included. You weren't thinking about Nordic elites, were you?
Based Greeks.
>Modern Greek language isn’t the same as Ancient Greek language
Of fucking course it isn't the same language, because languages evolve. Modern English isn't the same as medieval English, and so on.
>Here are the people that replaced the Hellenes
Again, if these people consider themselves Greek, they are Greek. Period. Their original ethnicity doesn't matter.
based. always loved to play Greco-Bactrians in Rome Total War, so exotic
Bump
