Hesiod marks Pieria as the homeland of Macedonians. And the archaeological record shows until 650BC only Phrygian and Illyrian culture. That is from Oxford, 2014
What?
I suggest look and search again Pieria,
why Pieria is in Argeiad Makedonia and Pierian gulf is in East Makedonia
What was Herakleia city?
Perdikas 1rst sent them to Paggaion
Perdikas is about 650 BC
Pieria of that Era had 3 parts,
East of Olympus, where we see Thracian orpheus Leivethra,
Makedonian
Herakleia
Makedonian
Πιμπλεια
Mycenean settlements
West of Olympus the Area of Selloi meaning Hellanes
and the Thettalian Olossoi
the south part of Pieria mt and the valley,
where
Balla and
Pydna cities where, both Makedonian
Interesting City is the
Phylakes,
Above Pieria is the Ematheia. the land of kings, the Aigaes.
West of Pieria mt is the Ελυμεια and the
Aiane,
42% of ancient Makedonian written are from there.
Elymeia is the Upper Makedonia,
an indipented Makedonian kingdom which needed to reach 3 centuries after karanos to enter under Argeiads.
In Upper Makedonia we have the third Linear writting simmilar to Linear A and Linear B.
Upper Makedonia was the area from Ohrida to Pindus, including parts of today call Epirus, or Epirus Nova,
In Upper Makedonia except Makedonians also existed Thracian tribes, which either assimilated until Makedonia of Phillip, or devastate North and East
Uper Makedonia is the core of proto-Greek speaking.
The early Makedonians are not the Makedonian kingdom, as in seen after Phillip 2nd,
rather a population that spoke primitive Greek, and dwell with other Thracian tribes, or Vucedol/Vatin tribes.
@ DERITE
PLS DO US ALL A FAVOR,
instead of posting us theories of before the late archaiological founds,I suggest find and post us something indeed old
For a lover of anticerie and antica books like you,
I suggest find Hesychious Lexicon, which is far older, and I am sure you will love it.
and post us the real Makedonian language as written down by Hesychios.
and then compare it with the manuscripts that we have from Makedonia.
Until then Bye Bye.
