>Greece, Egypt and Persia all still exist How is this possible?

Literally non of those have anything to do with the actual ancient countries

>>2383940
>forgot China.

All those countries have unique cultural properties (chiefly language) that make them harder to assimilate into larger or smaller entities.

Nice meme

He's right, you know

>Assyrians still exist
>they went from badass conquerors from genocide fodder but they still exist

>>2383940
Nationalism.

>>2383940
>Greece
What is this? When Rome conquered the region, they fought against no Greece.

The Romans conquered Corinth, Epirus, Macedon, and the Aetolian League.

Never was a Greece, another modern invention by globalist. Italy never existed either, Italy is derived from the Kingdom of Sardinia.

back to /pol/ with you too.

>Assyrians still exist
We're talking about nation-states with cultural, historical and genealogical continuity, there are plenty of ethnic survivors allover the world, but only a handful of nations.

>>2384337
>>Assyrians still exist
Speaking of memes

>>2384384
Well, you're sort of right here, Greece rarely unified under a central government before the Roman empire, making them more comparable to India rather than Egypt, China and Persia.

>>2384410
oops, meant >>2384367

>>2384198
Greece and Persia kinda have some continuity, but Egypt has nothing at all to do with ancient Egypt.

Different religion, different language, don't even identify with ancient Egypt, only called Egypt in other languages.

>>2384412
>>2384410

Greece simply never existed, it is a modern invention like Italy.

They have little to do with the ancient countries you're thinking of. Everything is different. Religion, culture, language, territory etc.

>>2384416
>Different religion
So is Persia and Greece.

>different language
Egypt predominantly spoke Coptic/Egyptian up to the 17th century, when the population was forced to speak Arabic by the Mamluks.

>don't even identify with ancient Egypt
They do actually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-Arabism#Decline

>only called Egypt in other languages.
"Misr" is the historical Semitic name of Egypt, "Egypt" is Greek, so neither names are indigenous.

>>2384383
How the fuck did anything ive said was fucking relevant to /pol/ at all?

>>2384422
Greece as a state or nation never existed in Antiquity but the notion of Greeks did exist. For example in the Olympic games only Greeks were allowed to participate.

>>2384440
>How the fuck did anything ive said was fucking relevant to /pol/ at all?

Denying historical continuity of these particular countries is the pretense of "WE WUZ"

>>2384459
Whats the historical continuinity of "Greece" and Sparta, exactly?

>"even though modern Greeks are the same people as ancient Greeks they actually have nothing to do with them"

>>2384441
True, Macedonians were not originally allowed this honor, until they had arms to smite them.

Greeks were tribal in nature, they never really believed in Empire, which is a good trait. Empires are stagnant entities that destroy society.

>>2384464
>Whats the historical continuinity of "Greece" and Sparta, exactly?

In the case of Greece, there are both cultural and genealogical continuity, even if everything else is a bit lacking.

Wrong.

>>2384416
The Egyptian Arabic is mainly is influenced heavily from the Coptic language

Not much, but something

This is stupid.

Modern greeks are mix if anatolians ans slavs

>>2383940
>Greece
Wasn't even unified in its time, not a country until 19th century

>Egypt
Hadn't been around for a few millennia before it came back

>Persia
Except for that gap between 650-1500, yeah I guess, buy you've still got about 850 years where it wasn't ruled by Persians.

National identity wasn't much of a thing until the 19th century

>>2384475
You'll be saying that FYROM is actually connected to Macedonia because of their location next, kek

>>2384476

Africa is a shithole now, most of India is confused with technology, most don't even use a toilet.

Indian society is at odds with European culture, they're too primitive to adapt successfully, thanks to British meddling.

Also, the British Empire was a flash in the pan, it did not survive long enough to stagnate.

>>2384476
Most of those societies are destroyed. Save for the Anglosphere.

Has nothing to do with pic related.

How can you say with a straight face that; Indians are in harmony with their environment.

>>2384517
They were a mix of both slavs and asia minor populationd, you retard, there's literally no place else they could have come from given their geography.

>>2384525
There weren't any slavs back then unless you mean local balkan tribes. You're right though, modern Greeks and ancient Greeks are the same.

>>2384532
>There weren't any slavs back then
I was just going a long with his retarded terminology, but yah, I meant eastern europeans.
