 | The Vergina Sun is Greek symbol The Vergina Sun or Star of Vergina is a symbol of a stylised star with sixteen rays. It was unearthed in 1977 during archaeological excavations in Vergina, in northern Greece, by Professor Manolis Andronikos.

 | Macedonia : Archaeology at Vergina, Greece Encyclopedia Britannica: Learn how Vergina, Macedonia received its name and see the ancient remains of this area. Vergina is situated close to the site of ancient Aigai (or Aegae), once the royal capital of ancient Macedon, ruled by the Argead dynasty from about 650 BC onwards. The ruins of another Aigai, one of the Aeolian dodecapolis, lie 35 km S of Pergamon, by the modern Aiolis, Turkey. The entrance to the "Great Tumulus" Museum at Vergina. Archaeologists were interested in the hills around Vergina as early as the 1850s, knowing that the site of Aigai was in the vicinity and suspecting that the hills were burial mounds. Excavations began in 1861 under the French archaeologist Leon Heuzey, sponsored by the Emperor Napoleon III. Parts of the Macedonian royal palace of Palatista were discovered. However, the excavations had to be abandoned because of the risk of malaria. In 1937, the University of Thessaloniki resumed the excavations. More ruins of the ancient palace were found, but the excavations were abandoned on the outbreak of war with Italy in 1939. After the war the excavations were resumed and during the 1950s and 1960s the rest of the royal capital was uncovered. The Greek archaeologist Manolis Andronikos became convinced that a hill called the "Great Tumulus" (in Greek, Μεγάλη Τούμπα) concealed the tombs of the Macedonian Kings. In 1977, Andronikos undertook a six-week dig at the Tumulus and found four buried chambers which he identified as hitherto undisturbed tombs. Three more were found in 1980. Excavations continued through the 1980s and 1990s. Andronikos claimed that these were the burial sites of the kings of Macedon, including the tomb of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. Andronikos maintained that one of the tombs was of Philip II, and another was of Alexander IV of Macedon, son of Alexander the Great. This has now become the firm view of Greek archaeologists and the Greek government, but some other archaeologists dispute this identification(Citation needed). Nevertheless there is no doubt that the site is of great archaeological importance. The larnax (gold casket) which Andronikos identified as containing the remains of Philip II has a symbol of a sun or star on its lid, and this Vergina Sun has been adopted as a symbol of Greek Macedonia. |
 | Macedonia? FYROM? EU seeks an answer If the music sounds exotic, maybe so does the name of the country: Macedonia. The Former Yugoslav Republic has had formal candidacy status for the European Union since 2005 but its negotiations to join have not yet begun. Before it may become a member of the bloc it must settle its quarrel with neighbour Greece. Seventeen years after becoming independent, this country of two million people is still fighting to have the name emblazoned in its constitution universally recognised. Athens won't have it, because the Greeks have a region using the same name. Macedonia's Slavic people are also standing firm - about what they call themselves.

 | Macedonia, To the end of the world! Going from Macedonia, 10 000 miles away following the sun, and to come in Macedonia, again! In the mountains of Hindu Kush, in Hunza valley, Pakistan, live Hunza people, descendens of the armies of Alexander the Great of Macedon! They recognize themselves as descendents of Macedonians and closely related with todays Macedonians. Todays Macedonian language who speak Macedonians from the Republic of Macedonia and the macedonian minority in the neighbourhood is very similar to the language of Hunzas. Many words are stayed unchanged even 2400 years after macedonian conquest of Asia. One more fact that Macedonians, Hunzas and Kalashes are very close nations, and they are descendents of the ancient Macedonians! See by yourself how they act and what they say when macedonian journalist, Marina Dojcinovska came to them. Macedonia still lives there where greek propaganda is not present. Greek lies have nothing with the values of modern civilisation. Macedonia IS NOT Greek! Macedonia for the Macedonians, and for all those people who respect values of human civilization and cosmopolitism. Those were the human values of Alexander the Great and the Macedonians, and they stayed unchanged in good and bad even today! Long live Macedonia! This was part of the documentary of Marina Dojcinovska 'To the end of the world' 2005. http://allright.blog.com.mk |

Jeder weiß, dass wir in einer Woche diese Lösung nicht finden. Seit Jahren läuft der Streit, und es muss entschieden werden: Mazedonien heißt Mazedonien heißt Mazedonien. Das hat Griechenland zu akzeptieren und dann stimmen wir hier ab. Es wird keinen Unterschied machen zwischen heute und nächster Woche, es wird dabei bleiben, dass Mazedonien Mazedonien heißt. |
