Macedonian Life: Ohrid's historical treasures
Often called the Pearl of the Balkans, the UNESCO World Heritage city of Ohrid is more than 5,000 years old, making it one of the oldest human settlements in Europe.

Exhibition of the Great Steppe will open in Macedonia
On July 11, 2019 the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan opens the exhibition “Great Steppe: History and Culture” in the exhibition hall of the National Archaeological Museum of North Macedonia. The exhibition will be held from July 11 to August 11, 2019, in the framework of the international project Golden Man Procession through Museums of the World.
The aim of the exhibition is to familiarize the foreign audience with the rich historical and cultural heritage of Kazakhstan. The exhibition will feature the symbol of the Republic of Kazakhstan - the “Golden Man”.
In the late 1960s - early 1970s, an archaeological sensation occurred in the vicinity of Almaty: in the Issyk mound, which was investigated by the outstanding archaeologist Kemal Akishev, the remains of the Saka king “Golden Man” who later became the symbol of Kazakhstan, were discovered. The priceless find was dubbed the Kazakh Tutankhamen and was recognized as the discovery of the century. Golden ornaments from the crown of the ancient ruler of the steppes - winged horses-tulpars - became part of the national coat of arms of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the sculpture of the Golden Man was installed on Independence Square in Almaty.
Almost half a century later, the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan announces an international tour - The Procession of the Golden Man through the museums of the world. As part of a ambitious project, the exhibition was successfully held in the museums of Belarus, Russia, Azerbaijan, China, Poland, South Korea and Uzbekistan; by the end of 2019, the exhibition will be visited by five countries worldwide.
At the exhibition in the National Archaeological Museum of North Macedonia you can see the reconstruction of the Golden Man in clothes embroidered with gold plaques, in a special conical headdress, which is decorated with golden plates in the form of golden arrows, snow leopards, argali, horses and birds, and a collection of archaeological findings of the early Iron Age (IV-III centuries BC), accompanying the burial of this notable young Saka warrior (according to archaeologists his age is 18-20 years).
Sakas (in Persian means mighty men) are the distant ancestors of the Kazakhs. In the writings of Greek authors, they are called Asian Scythians (“saka” dates back to the Scythian - deer), in other ancient sources they were figuratively described as men with the fastest horses. Among the three large groups of these tribes were mentioned the Saka-Tigrahaud (sharp-hatters), who lived in the territory where the Issyk mound was found with the burial of the Golden Man.
More than four thousand gold items were found in the mound: details for decorating clothes, as well as decorations and household items. The topography of the objects in the burial has allowed the researchers, as a result of hard work, to recreate the look of an ancient warrior, which is presented at the exhibition. A special place in the exposition is occupied by the silver bowl with the inscription made in the runic script found among the finds of the Mound of Issyk - one of the oldest written records found on this territory.
The most important feature of the ancient art of the steppe is the dominance of zoomorphic images - the so-called animal style, the distinctive features of which are the stylized images of totem animals, scenes of fighting animals, endowed with magical functions.
The drama plots symbolize the opposition of nature and the revival to life, the antagonism between good and evil, the eternal movement and the strife between opposites. A striking example of animal style is a plaque, dating from the V-IV centuries BC, made of gold in the technique of stamping and grooving in the form of two mirrored leopards.
As Christianity and Islam were established, the animal style gradually lost its original meaning, which goes back to heathen beliefs.
However, decorative images of animals, devoid of their original magical meaning, continued to exist in medieval art: in jewelry, book-miniature, wood carving, stone and bone, in architecture - but in a more general form, acquiring forms of stylized ornament, decorative elements. These trends are clearly expressed in the finds from the Sayram treasure, which are presented in the exhibition items of jewelry, dating from the XV century. Also at the exhibition will be presented unique archaeological finds from Saka mounds Taksay (West Kazakhstan region), Taldy-2 (Karaganda region) and Berel (East Kazakhstan region).
In total, the exhibition features 292 items from the collections of the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The masterpieces of ancient and medieval art of Kazakhstan represented at the exhibition are only a small part of the works of the nameless masters of the past, reflecting the originality of the heritage of the Eurasian steppe culture.

Exhibition from archaeological site Grncarica, Republic of Macedonia
Grncarica, the oldest Neolithic settlement in Macedonia, was discovered accidentally before two years by a team of archeologists who are exploring the sites along the hydro-system Zletovica's pipeline. Macedonian archeologists unearthed a skeleton of a human dating from 7,000 BCE. The skeleton has been uncovered at the archeological site Grncarica, at the Stip's nearby village of Krupiste. This video is a part of the exhibition held in Bezisten, Stip, Republic of Macedonia.

In this episode, David takes us around Macedonia to show us what to see and do in Bitola.
The city of Bitola is a mix of ancient and modern traditions. It is small enough to easily explore by foot, and will give you the opportunity to get very familiar Macedonian culture. Heraclea Lyncestis is an ancient site just 2 kilometers from Bitola. It is known for its Greek and Roman architecture, especially its colorful mosaic floors, which are exceptional examples of early Christian art. Don’t forget to admire the amphitheater during your visit to the site.
Magnolia Square is the main square of Bitola. There are several landmarks surrounding the square: Mosque, the Clock Tower, statue of Phillip II of Macedon (in the center of the square) and the beginning of Sirok Sokak, the main pedestrian boulevard of the city.
While exploring around Bitola, you have to stroll through the Old Bazaar. This is one of the city’s most important cultural and social meeting points. Stop at the fruit and vegetable market of the Old Bazaar. It’s really quite colorful and lively. See what produce is in season when you go!
The Old Bazaar is a place to get daily errands done and a great opportunity to purchase souvenirs. Next up on David’s tour is the Museum of Bitola, which holds ancient artifacts and memorabilia from the Balkan struggle for independence. The museum itself used to be a military academy. There are several exhibits and halls dedicated to the academy's most famous student - Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, also known as the first president of Turkey and “Father of the Turks”.
Sirok Sokak Street is the perfect place to get a coffee and people watch. It’s a Must-Do when in Bitola. If you don’t, it’s like you were never here.
Right outside the city (5-minute drive) is the village of Dihovo, which is a great place to visit on a day trip. Villa Dihovo is a unique experience for all who visit. If you choose to come here to dine, you’ll enjoy a pleasant array of Macedonian specialties and refreshing salads made from vegetable grown on the property. Villa Dihovo is also a bed and breakfast. The only thing with a fixed price here is the alcohol, which is definitely something you don’t see every day.
David also visited a bee farm in Dihovo and was able to try the honey straight out of the comb. The bee farm also sells honey in jars, which is a great gift to take back home with you. Give yourself an extra day in Bitola so you want to enjoy the flora and fauna of nearby Pelister National Park. Hiking is the most popular activity here.
So if you’re ready to dive into Macedonian history and cuisine, consider stopping in Bitola for a few days to take in its rich culture and friendly people.

Visit Macedonia - Multimodal Diverse Travel (subtitles)
Multimodal Diverse Travel is part of Macedonia: from fragments to pixels, a special exhibition of prototypical interactive systems with subjects drawn from ancient Macedonia, the result of a collaboration between the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki (AMTh) and the Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Research and Technology -- Hellas (ICS-FORTH), hosted by the AMTh.
This system enables more than one visitor at the same time to interactively explore information about various areas and points of a map of Macedonia.
The system comprises a table, whose surface is covered by a printed map on which the location of various cities and other notable sites is projected. White paper tablets with a coloured frame are at the visitors' disposal. On each tablet a magnifying glass is displayed. When the magnifying glass is placed over a city, related images, videos and texts appear on the tablet. For every city there are multiple information pages, which can be viewed by touching virtual buttons at the bottom of the tablet. The colour of the frame of each tablet designates the language in which information is presented.

Macedonia today is a geographical region of Greece, and the largest of the Greek territory.
It constitutes most of the geographic and historical region of ancient Macedon, a Greek kingdom ruled by the Argeads whose most celebrated members were Alexander the Great and his father Philip II.
In 336 B.C., Alexander the Great became the leader of the Greek kingdom of Macedonia. By the time he died 13 years later, Alexander had built an empire that stretched from Greece all the way to India. That brief but thorough empire-building campaign changed the world: It spread Greek ideas and culture from the Eastern Mediterranean to Asia. Historians call this era the Hellenistic period.
The name Macedonia was later applied to identify various administrative areas in the Roman and Byzantine Empires with widely differing borders.

국립박물관인 이 건물은 1963년까지 수도 스코피예의 기차역이었다. 박물관 입구에 서로 다른 시각의 두 개의 시계가 있다. 현재의 시간을 알려주는 시계와 과거의 시간에 멈춘 시계. 1963년 6월 새벽에 일어난 지진으로 수도 스코피예는 폐허가 됐다. “원래 저 건물은 발칸에서 가장 멋진 기차역이었습니다. 1963년 6월 23일 새벽 6시경에 지진이 일어나서 무너졌죠. 그때 천명 이상이 희생되었고, 많은 사람이 베오그라드로 피난 갔습니다. 저도 많은 친척이 피해를 당했죠. 정말 기억하기 싫은 일입니다.” 박물관 옆 자식을 잃은 어머니의 마음을 표현한 조각상이 당시의 비극을 떠올리게 한다.

Test: What is the capital of Macedonia ?
Test: what is the capital of Macedonia ?
History of Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki is a big, modern city with 1 million inhabitants and the largest urban center of the Prefecture. It was founded in 315 B.C. by the king of Macedonia, Kassandros, son of the general Antipatros who was left as a prefect of Macedonia by Alexander the Great, when he dared his great expedition in Asia.
In this way, Kassandros, having won the battle for succession, married the step-sister of Alexander the Great, Thessaloniki, and founded the city in her honor, uniting 26 small settlements in the vicinity.
In less than two centuries from its establishment, Thessaloniki, just like all of Macedonia, was occupied by the Romans. In 148 B.C. it was the capital of the Roman province of Macedonia. A bit later the Macedonian Greeks support the Roman occupation together with whom they face the peoples who often arrived outside of her famous walls trying to gain occupation.
In 42 B.C., Thessaloniki is declared a free city (civitas libera) and begins a new age of peace and prosperity.
Half a century before the birth of Christ, the Roman orator, Cicero, lives in Thessaloniki. The large, famous Egnatia Road for travelers who went from Rome to the East or came back from the West, passes right next to it, uniting the Adriatic to Constantinople. The Roman Empire was finally coming to its end. Two large powers are created with Licinius in the West and Constantine in the East.
Constantine the Great chooses Thessaloniki from where he will engage in his great confrontation with Licinius. He builds the new port of the city and recognizes Christianity as the official religion of the state. During that period, Thessaloniki acquires important Byzantine churches, many of which visitors will see today during their walks through the city. In the centuries that follow, Thessaloniki suffers from the raids of Goths, Persians, Arabs and Turks without ever losing its character. The city is saved by its great walls of which several of its parts still exist today crowning the city.
In 1185 the Byzantine Empire could not prevent the occupation of Thessaloniki from the Normans. A few years later come the Franks and in 1224 A.D. the city is occupied by Theodoros Doukas Komnenos and is declared the capital of the Bishop of Epirus.
Afterwards, the city will face the threat of the Catalans while from 1300 A.D. enters its golden age. The city experiences a singular autonomy and self-government. It is multi-membered with a strong economy, cultural and artistic life, brilliant monuments, skillfully decorated churches and all sorts of factories: copper, iron, lead, paper etc.
Its cultural renaissance is supported by a series of important orators, theologians, philosophers, lawyers and hagiographers with important works during that period. Grigorios Palamas, Nikolaos Kavasilas, the lawyer Constantine Armenopoulos, Thomas Magistros and the hagiographer Emmanuel Panselinos are all present in Thessaloniki creating their works. In 1430 A.D., the Ottomans occupy the city and force all those inhabitants that survived the slaughter to abandon the city.
For several years, after the 16th century, the city develops again and its communities of which it is composed live in harmony. Thessaloniki is a populous city, exciting and a cosmopolitan center of the time. The Greek middle class which gradually formed until the 18th century gave Thessaloniki the glory of the large commercial center.
At the end of the 19th century, Thessaloniki is connected via rail with Skopje and from there with Europe. Also, it is connected with present day Alexandroupolis and Istanbul. The first horse-drawn trams, industries and gas-light are established. Thessaloniki acquires the face of a cosmopolitan, European city. Greeks are now the overwhelming majority of its population.
Liberated Greece in the first years of the 20th century defends its national claims through many sacrifices with the Greek General Embassy of Thessaloniki as its center. However, word of the fall of the Ottoman Empire is evident.On 26 October, 1912, on the day its protector, St. Dimitrios celebrates, Thessaloniki is liberated by the Greek army and is united to Greece after five centuries of Turkish occupation.
A few years later, after the Asia Minor catastrophe in 1922, and the population exchange with Turkey, Thessaloniki receives the larger part of the refugees, many of whom were of Pontic Greek descent and later comprised significant factors in the economy and social development of the city.
Archaeological Site of Aigai - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Archaeological Site of Aigai is a fascinating and unusual UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Macedon, it was the setting for one of the most pivotal events in the history of western civilisation: the assassination of King Phillip II, paving the way for the rise of his son Alexander the Great who subsequently spread Hellenic Greek culture across the known world. It's also home to Phillip's tomb which was discovered completely undisturbed in the 1980s, an incredibly rich archaeological find.
But unfortunately this wasn't a great site visit for us: we weren't allowed to film in the museum or the tombs, and the palace was unexpectedly closed, so I have basically no footage! Apologies for that.

Museum of Macedonia Displays 9,800 Artifacts
Museum of Macedonia Displays 9,800 Artifacts Excavated at Archaeological Sites in 2009
Dec. 27, 2009. Some 10.000 artifacts of 100.000 excavated in total in 2009 during the archaeological researches on 18 locations in Macedonia, have been presented on this exhibition opened on Sunday.
The Macedonian Information Agency reported that Elizabeta Kanceska-Milevska, Minster of Culture, opened Sunday the annual exhibition of artifacts excavated at archaeological sites throughout Macedonia in 2009. Prime Minister, Nikola Gruevski, also attended the opening of the exhibition which took place at the Museum of Macedonia.
A total of 9,800 artifacts excavated at 18 archaeological sites throughout Macedonia are displayed in the Museum of Macedonia, in the framework of the third archaeology exhibition.
The display includes items from Ohrids Gorna Porta, Isar Marvinci, Stobi, Carevi Kuli, Heraklea etc.
Museum director Meri Anicin-Pejoska and director of the Cultural Heritage Protection Office Pasko Kuzman attended the exhibition opening.
Traces left by past civilisations are the only witness of our past and an inseparable part of our existence. Therefore, it gives me great pleasure to attend the third annual exhibit of most valuable artifacts excavated in 2009, said Gruevski to the Macedonian Information Agency in his welcoming speech.
The amount that was excavated this year is small. There is a lot more to be done. The Government will continue to support nation-wide excavations, because artefacts are national and cultural treasure. In 2010 we plan to continue our support in this field, stated PM Gruevski after the opening at the Museum of Macedonia.
Asked whether some of the artefacts could help in strengthening country's position in the name dispute with Greece, Gruevski said it could be the case only if the argument of facts prevailed in the name talks. Unfortunately, Greece negotiates with the argument of power, the PM stressed.
Future generations will laugh at the fact that someone today is trying to divide people into ancient and Slavic Macedonians, noted the PM when asked whether Sunday's exhibition was an attempt to resume the process of antiquisation.
Future generations will be stunned as to why someone in this period tried so hard to divide people into ancient and Slavic. It is ridiculous because both were part of past civilisations, he said adding that Macedonia was lying on a territory that was the home of many prominent or less prominent civilisations, which needed to be equally acknowledged by modern Macedonians.

Macedonia skeleton, Slave Makedonski
Slave Makedonski is the name of the neolitic skeleton found at the year 2008 near the town of Stip in the eastern part of the Republic of Macedonia. According to the C14 analysis at the University of Glasgow he has lived at the time around 6.745 years BC. That makes him one of the oldest ever found human remains on the Balkans, i.e. Southeastern Europe. These human remains are exposed at the Museum of Stip since May 2009.
Ancient Warriors - The Macedonians
The Macedonian Army was the first fully-professional army, under arms virtually all the time. It consisted mainly of Falanka (lat. Phalanx)- a compact impenetrable military body composed by elite infantry corps, ideated by Alexander I of Macedon and perfected by Filip II of Macedon; and Cavalry Royal Companions - the best cavalry in the ancient world, consisted of well trained horsemen units (Ile). Macedonian Falanka, a military formation equipped with the famed Zarissa, a 5-6 m long spear, represented an undefeatable tool of war of the Macedonian military power and will be the backbone of Macedonian empire throughout the centuries. The economic security generated by Filip II of Macedon during his imperial expansion allowed him to also develop new military corps: archers, skirmishers, communication units, engineers, etc.
In the later Succession Wars period famous MacedonianFalanka was still the main component and fought mainly in the same fashion as in the Alexander’s time. But its robust formation in the same time was its greatest disadvantage. It took a superb command as that of Filip II and Alexander III of Macedon and years of disciplined practicing and military planning in order to manage and make an advantage of the condensed brutal force of this neatly packed formation.
