Alexander the Great - ancient Serbian king
Alexander's father Philip II didn't speek greek language, but he want his son to learn it. Greeks didn't recpect Macedonians, they respect them less than slaves. Alexander was a Serbian ancient king from Karan dinasty.When he conquest Canaan, people came to him speaking on his own language (Serbian).He also found ancient Serbs in India left there by ancient serbian emperor Nimrod (he conqest ancient Asirya and India and inspired Alexander to do the same).

Can you provide some academic texts that testify to the veracity of this statement? Kyriakos (talk) 12:28, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Here is one academic - Jovan Deretić 109.122.87.77 (talk) 14:38, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
Buddies,buddies...You forget(?) that all the coins that all the Greek-Macedonians have cut have Greek signs on them(you can define that by taking a simple look at the respective pages).Also,the Macedonians had the same language with the rest of the Greeks and never considered themselves anything but Greeks.End of discussion.--DCGT888 (talk) 11:43, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Macedonians are not Greeks, they didn't speek greek language, (Philip II did not speak greek language), they spoke ancient slavic language - Serbian. In their capital modern Macedonians put sculpture of Alexander. His title was Karan - ancient serbian rank, his surname was Karanovic. His name means gift of wood (alexan = les (serbian = wood)) dar(der) = gift (serbian) 109.122.92.180 (talk) 09:23, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
I would suggest reading this article to ascertain when the Slavic people entered the Balkans and settled in the region known as Macedonia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavs#Early_history. Kyriakos (talk) 14:05, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
Cant said Im suprised with that. Almost whole Serbian history is fake, making Albanians, who came in Balkan in 15 century, the ancient Illyrians autocthonous Balkan people. As I said not suprise, my own Serbians are even worst than strangers, believe in Slavic migration in 7th century. However there are many of us who knows that this fact is pure falsificate. I suggest You to read Bochar, Shafarik and our great historian Jovan Deretić. Many grettings from Serbia ! 109.122.83.196 (talk) 06:22, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

- Slavic peoples hadn't even entered the Balkan peninsula yet (i.e. in the 4th century BC), so no, ancient Macedonians were not Slavic, let alone Serbian. The Serbian culture, language, and nationality did not even exist two thousand years ago. This is elementary history, History 101, you guys. The Macedonians most certainly belonged to the wider Hellenic world, worshipped Greek gods, considered themselves leaders of the Greeks during the reigns of Philip II and Alexander the Great, and spoke a dialect of Greek, the Ancient Macedonian language. Of course, since they didn't speak the Attic Greek variant of the Hellenic languages, as spoken in ancient Athens for instance, they were considered "barbaric" by the Athenians. Yet the same sort of label was used as a snub or insult against Greeks who spoke Doric Greek dialect, such as the Spartans. In either case, by the 3rd century BC both Macedonian Greeks and all other Greeks were speaking the same universal language, or lingua franca, known as Koine Greek. To deny any of this in favor of silly quack fringe theories inspired solely by misplaced nationalism about an ancient Serbian language that did not exist is a waste of your time and the waste of others' precious time in making serious edits to this article.

Read post before yours. Our (Serbian) complete history is falsificated. Everyone take what they need - mostly Greeks. They even stolled Achilles, who was wearing Serbian symbol cross with four ociles.http://serbijana.weebly.com/105710881073108910821080-107510881073108610741080.html http://www.tvbest.rs/106445-otkrivamo-jos-jednu-tajnu-sta-stvarno-znacni-krst-sa-ocilama-na-grbu-srbije-foto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocilo First Serbian ancient emperor was Nimrod (Nebrod, Nino Belov) founder of Assyriyan-Babylonian empire, mentioned in Holy Bible. His name can only understand Serbian people. 109.122.91.0 (talk) 07:08, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Semi-protected edit request on 13 June 2015
79.107.162.216 (talk) 07:00, 13 June 2015 (UTC) remake again the correct sentence: was a king (basileus) of the ancient GREEK kingdom of MACEDON.not just king of ancient kingdom of macedon.he was king of the ancient G R E E K kingdom of Macedon
Please fix last sentence of the introduction
The sentence reads: "He is often ranked among the world's most influential people of all time, along with his teacher Aristotle.[9][10]"
'Among the world's most influential people of all time' is redundant; people have never existed anywhere else but here.
The sentence should either read:
"He is often ranked among the most influential people of all time, along with his teacher Aristotle.[9][10]"
or
"He is often ranked among the world's most influential people, along with his teacher Aristotle.[9][10]"
Thank you
Heavy censorship by biased pro-Greek editors
- Alexander the Great was himself infatuated with and admired Cyrus the Great, from an early age reading Xenophon's Cyropaedia, which described Cyrus's heroism in battle and governance and his abilities as a king and a legislator. During his visit to Pasargadae he ordered Aristobulus to decorate the interior of the sepulchral chamber of his tomb.
- Source Alexander the Great by Ulrich Wilcken (page 146).
- This article is a typical eurocentrist version of ancient history. Ignoring Achaemenid Persian Empire, Persian king Cyrus and their influences on Alexander. Almost every serious historian is aware of this fact. But ohhh... Sorry... Alexander, Greeks, and ancient Greece are symbols of Western civilization. So we must ignore eastern Persians and just portray them as evil and uncivilized enemies of West! Wikipedia version of 300. BS. --188.159.241.147 (talk) 17:05, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
Lacks reference to Kalyan Muni
This article lacks reference to Kalyan Muni (or Kalanos), a Digambar Jain Muni from Taxila who accompanied Alexander to his journey back. Alexander the Great, died on his way back to Greece in his Ship.[1][2][3][4] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Capankajsmilyo (talk • contribs) 02:45, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
The section on Alexander's movements in 324 is incorrect-- should be changed.
Alexander visited Pasargadai and Persepolis (seeing the tomb of Cyrus, executing Orxines, etc) BEFORE the mutiny at Opis. The text as it reads now is incorrect. Source: end of Arrian 6. Edit: i have no idea how to get rid of the links to various jain etc sites that appear at the foot of this short note. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnTMa (talk • contribs) 12:47, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
