: I read a book many years ago written by a German Anthropologist who claimed that there was VERY LITTLE CONNECTION IF ANY between the ancient greeks (who enlightened the world with their culture) and the countries modern day inhabitants who he claimed were a mixture of halfbred turks and slavs but mosltly turkish.He also highlighted earlier periods of history with the destruction of cities like Sparta and Athens which were destroyed,its male inhabitants killed and women sold into slavery and the cities reinhabited by Roman citizens from surrounding areas.I dont personally now how true or Factual his study really was as i have never seen or heard of anything similiar in any anthropological journal but modern day greeks look identical to their Turkish-Arabibic Cousins therefore if the proof is in the pudding he must have been right.Does anyone remember this Anthropologists name and if so what are your thoughts on his theory?????
hmm its true that a mixture has been with
our neighbour coutries but that not make us
identical with turkish and/or any other nation
if i understand correct (and for talking about
athens and sparti should be correct)
the "ancient greeks" you are talking about
was more than 2000 years ago
so greeks are greeks
but also every coutry have been mixtured
with his neighbour especialy in europe
