​Or terms like *γερογκρινιάρης ιστορικός* (this one in his 2012 ARB essay​ *Τα
ορφανά του Αλέξανδρου*)* :-)


​More seriously now, we also need to look at the behavior of the other
side, where μάγκες like archeologist Olga Palaggia (former collaborator of
Eugene Borza)​ or singer Stamatis Kraounakis (a public supporter of public
smoking, among many other things) state unequivocally, and without having
visited the excavation site, that the Amphipolis grave is not Macedonian
but Roman: either they or everybody else stand to lose face big time, we
shall see...
