The two-volume work of 1671 pages (the version of which was financed by public funds of the neighbouring country), according to Mr. Gruevski expresses "the cultural and political past and our present"; but not only does the Skopje government attempt to rewrite history region at will, but it consciously alters key elements of the worldwide accepted Greek national status. Specifically, on page 67 of the encyclopedia and under the word "Greek" it states that "recent research has shown that the Greek nation as having been descended from black African tribes of the Sahara desert!"
The 260 FYROM (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) historians and revisionists note that the Greeks (with different cultural backgrounds), were influenced by the local appropriating Balkan cultures, which were advanced and these influences were then shown as Greek achievements, disregarding the worldwide accepted perception about Ancient Greece.

The unprecedented provocation of the FYROM government goes so far as to claim that the Greek culture as result of counterfeiting and intercepting other cultures, while not hesitating to seize the historic Parthenon and even the Homeric epics:

The unprecedented provocation of the FYROM government goes so far as to claim that the Greek culture as result of counterfeiting and intercepting other cultures, while not hesitating to seize the historic Parthenon and even the Homeric epics:
"Even the epics of Homer and the Parthenon is not the result of Greek culture, but as result of counterfeiting, adoption and even interception of these local indigenous cultures such as ours, the Macedonia!"
The new methodology of Skopje is totally unacceptable, and there has not yet been any reaction from the Greek Foreign Ministry - this time not as a result of political unacceptable compliance applied systematically to national issues in recent years, but because this issue has apparently gone noticed! At the same time when this particular case has received international condemnation from the United States, Great Britain, Albania and Bulgaria!
The Greek administration must now also condemn this new provocation from FYROM, and firmly express the fact that continuous provocations can only harm FYROM´s NATO and EU aspirations.
