- Well, maybe so. Today those "tamtams" boast about being the descendants
- of a great civilization, and the cradle of democracy. Howevers there
- are serious doubts in history for both claims.
-
- First of all, several historians and anthropologists have produced
- substantial evidence with respect to any connection between
- present-day Greece and ancient Greece. The prominent German
- historian Jacop P. Fallmerayer published a treatise in 1830
- and made the assertion that during the Middle Ages slavik
- tribes poured into Greece and annihilated the entire Greek
- population. Truly, can anyone see any resemblance between
- that beacon of ignorance and "paliks", and the ancient Greeks
- who created a civilization?
-
- As for democracy, in its entire history Greece has never been
- a democracy - except for the last 18 years.
