'Alexander was predominantly Greek and definitely NOT an ancestor of contemporary Slavic Macedonians,'
(Alfried Wieczorek, head of the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums of Mannheim.)
In an interview with the German Press Agency dpa, Wieczorek said, 'The latest research shows very clearly yet again that the Macedonians in the days of Alexander were closely related to the contemporary Greeks.'
It should be noted that there is no connection between the Macedonians of the time of Alexander the Great who were related to other Hellenic tribes and the Macedonians of today, who are of Slavic Origin and related to the Bulgarians.
