No,the graves belonged to a glorious race, Macedonians!!!
We, nowadays Macedonians from FYROM, admit that we don't have anything to do with ancient Macedonians, who were a Greek tribe, speaking a Greek dialect. That's why in Macedonia there are gravestones and monuments using only Greek language.
But we should apologize to Greeks for claiming their past and their territories, in order to get access to the sea.
We apologize to you, Greeks.

Yes, they belonged to Makedonians, who were one of the Greek tribes which populated the Greek peninsula.
Their language was Doric Greek. They made a big kingdom, very rich, as the archaeological findings evidence.
Their art, and all aspects of life were Greek.

Greece unearths treasures at Alexander's birthplace
ATHENS (Reuters) - Archaeologists have unearthed gold jewellery, weapons and pottery at an ancient burial site near Pella in northern Greece, the birthplace of Alexander the Great, the culture ministry said on Thursday.

The excavations at the vast cemetery uncovered 43 graves dating from 650-279 BC which shed light on the early development of the Macedonian kingdom, which had an empire that stretched as far as India under Alexander's conquests.

Among the most interesting discoveries were the graves of 20 warriors dating to the late Archaic period, between 580 and 460 BC, the ministry said in a statement.

Some were buried in bronze helmets alongside iron swords and knives. Their eyes, mouths and chests were covered in gold foil richly decorated with drawings of lions and other animals symbolizing royal power.

"The discovery is rich in historical importance, shedding light on Macedonian culture during the Archaic period," Pavlos Chrysostomou, who headed the eight-year project that investigated a total of 900 graves, told Reuters.

Pavlas said the graves confirmed evidence of an ancient Macedonian society organized along militaristic lines and with overseas trade as early as the second half of the seventh century BC.

Among the excavated graves, the team also found 11 women from the Archaic period, with gold and bronze necklaces, earrings and broaches.

Nine of the graves dated to the late classical or early Hellenistic period, around the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC.

Alexander, whose father Philip II unified the city states of mainland Greece, conquered most of the world known to the ancient Greeks before dying at the age of 32 in Babylon. Educated by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, Alexander was never defeated in battle.

Check the hair of the remains found in the graves. If it is black, then it is sub-saharan. If it is blonde, then it is FYROMIAN!

Yes it is.
Unfortunately there is only one survivor from that tribe.

Big Sofo is his name.

No hunny, it was proved by archaelogists that they were Greek foundings from Ancient Macedonia.

Cry baby cry.

Pella is and has always been Greek, has nothing to do with any subh saharan tribes nor any of those Slavic FYROMians who have no connection to the true Macedonia and its history. The FYROMians will be jelous with envy once again when its revealed those glorious ancient Macedonia graves are Greek. LOL!!

To Karvonopsina and bakoyanni:
take a good look at your "tall, blonde" Monkydonias..LOL!! ;-p

No, I've actually heard something else :
The scientists have found out that the DNA of your country FYROM is exactly the mixing of the MONGOLIANS DNA and SOMALIAN DNA...

What a strange coincidence, isn't it?...

Sam

Sub-saharians have nothing to do with greeks.
Those graves were Macedonian.

Anna Komnini

No way!

those Sub-Saharans are not like the glorious Macedonians.
SUb-SUharans have no culture at all!!
Let alone a helmet being hidden in the grave for so many years....

bakoyanni

To be honest-no.
They belong to the Macedonians, not to Greeks. We don't need that barbarian like Alexander or his father Philipos! We have our ouso Philipos and that is enough for us.
And Pella is not a Greek teritory, it is a part of Aegean Macedonia, it is time for us to admit that and to give back to the Macedonians!
