I would like to thank kings and general for letting us the common people who not PHD Holder to lell about different types of ancient civilizations like celts sea people and other it is really very fascinating thanks
This video has started an entire argument of misinformation. You could have made it very clear that Illyrians were not Slavs, and the most likely descendants of Illyrians were our neighbors the Albanians. This is very common knowledge you could locate just using AI like chat gpt or doing your own independent searches. You have a very big audience therefore i think you have a responsibility to spread truth and facts based on dna, research and hisotircal evidence. We now literally have slavs in the comments claiming they're Illyrians,its a bit of a joke.
You said that we don't know ilirian language there are still Albanian words today that ilirian use. Exampl word Troja the most of world knows Troja as movie. But to us Albanian word Troja has meaning Troja means to Albanian a country land fundament of house or city or country that is used today by us Albanian.
@@user-vd1kz5dg5c😂
Please give us African Kings and Generals Content would love u guyz drop some knowledge , cultures and more😊😊😊❤
I’m sure the comments will be full of friendly, respectful and engaging responses between many people of Balkan ethnicity
Naturaly as long as other people in there region realize that only my people are decednd from Illyrians and no other group whatsoever. We definitely have no Celtic,Roman,Greek and Gotic influence whatsoever 100% Illyrian. They also need to realize that due to that fact we are the only ones native to the balkans and everyone else kind of came along later. :P
😂😂😂
@@agronacilius4584100% this. When the south Slavs came all the Illyrians in the entire Western Balkans/Former Yugoslavia packed up and moved to Albania where their descendants are. Everybody knows this.
@@Anonymous07192 Hahahahahha😂
@@Anonymous07192Do you think that most people could just pack and move where they like in the 7th century?
The truth is that by the time the South Slavs arrived in what is today ex-Yugoslavia the Illyrians had already become Romanised a few centuries prior. When the Slavs took over these Romanised Illyrians were assimilated by the Slavs.
All I know about the Illyrians is that they gave Rome a lot of headaches.
True, especially the Piracy of the Illyrians in the Early Roman Era...
I wouldn't say alot, more like capitalizing while Rome was weak for like... 5 years
@@stumpe9662 Most Likely
But by the late empire, they would also be the ones solving a lot of headaches.
And later on, a LOT of very competent emperors.
Ahh, a video on the Ancient Illyrians.
You know what that means?
A healthy and productive comment section 😆
@@robwalsh9843 mostly noticeable how nationalist greeks and serbs are mainly drawn here to desperately convince people that theres no connection between albanians and Illyrians despite everyone agreeing on them clearly being connected with enough evidence to go with.
I guess this crushes servian and grik fascist ideas of expanding into albania
@@soul8938 Luckily there are neutral sources both historical and genetic that dont care what ultranationalists think when it doesnt suit their political agenda. I tried to actually listen to them at times, as I was genuinly curious on their theories on where albanian origins are from, as I am open to all sources as long as they are credible. I listened.. I laughed, closer to fairytales that they just badly wanted to be true cause albanians beeing decendants of the illyrians really doesnt suit them.
@@DarkEagle99 so where did the ilyrians go then? they left with spaceships to mars?
@@luftim no the southern Illyrian tribes became what is today Albanians. That is the most likely according to evidence.
@@DarkEagle99 Closest people to Illyrians are Northern Italians genetically and.... it makes sense they migrated there and got romanized, Albanians might be different small tribe of Illyrians or even thracian we don't fully know yet, all we know is that proto-Albanians were present in the balkans since 7cenury bc due to ancient Greek loanwords
Not a single word on the Great Illyrian Revolt at the same time when 3 legions were massacred at Teutoburg?
illyrian revolt happened before Teutoburg Forest. The upcoming series covering the reign of Augustus will certainly cover this rebellion
Did not mention the most famous emperors like Constantine the Great, who was born in todays Nish(Nissus), Serbia. Aurelian, Claudius 2, Maximus, Justinian the Great etc. Such a shame for this great youtube history channel.
@@nasershehu5209 At 15:00 he says “many emperors”
Also, not a single word on the Martian invasion of 543 bc where Star Emperor Namrak III abducted the Cherusci people, taking them back in time and compelling them to build the pyramids.
@@Kili2807 yep, indeed, that was a Noricum campaign of ± that time span. Arminius was there as a still Roman officer.
Hey, Kings and Generals can you guys do a video on the Basque people, one of the oldest people in Europe, their origins, languages, their early religions, and among other things of their multiple Millennia long presence/history.
I second this.
Yeah well if you talk with the Basque Government they are will to pay a lot of money if you withewash his narrative to fit in his political positions
@@rodm8113 Me too...
Pythagoras means 'Heart of the Serpent', he was born in Sidon, a fishing Port in Phoenicia. His mother received a prophecy from the Oracle at Delphi that he would become a great Leader & Teacher. Sidon means 'Kingdom of the Fish', & the Essenes, who wrote the Dead Sea scrolls, worshipped Pythagoras. The Sarcophagus of Eshmun III found in Sidon names him as the 'Widow's Scion', aka Hiram Abiff, Founder of Freemasonry, of which Tyre was the premier Capital (at least equal to Thebes).
In 911BC Rameses II married the Queen of Sidon, home of Jezebel (Daughter or consort of Baal, ie "Queen") founding Neo Assyrian Babylon, an alliance between Egypt & Hiram, Father of Jezebel, & King of Assyria; forming the Phoenician colonies, & building the Temple of Melqart to commemorate their alliance.
The Si in Sidon is the basis of the Latin Exe, or X, and is the basis of the Cross, or Chi Rho that Constantine painted on his shields. Also known as the Cross of Tyre, or Cross of Baal, being Ra-El, or Ba'El. Using Euler's number to map irrational numbers also produces a Templar Cross: ie where Eclipses are most likely to occur, called the 'Saros' Cycle. This cross can also be seen around the neck of Nimrod in Assyria, consistent with the Union Jack, & Solstice Calendar found in the Vatican's Shiva Lingam. Shiva is the Hebrew word for 7, & their culture also found its way to Korea & Japan (via the Philippines) ultimately becoming Shintoism.
It was the Phoenicians who gave their name to the Pole Star, _Phoenice,_ which they used to Navigate the Oceans using the Zodiac, that's what the Antikythera mechanism was for, & with it they wrote the Byblos Baal; what we now call the Bible. The first form of the Bible was written in 325BC & called 'Vaticanus Graecus', or 'Son of the Sacred Serpent', ie Sirius, the basis of the Sothic Calendar, which uses a Hex Decimal & base 60 system found in all Megalithic sites around the world.
In the second century AD the Astronomer Valentinus Vettori transcribed it into a Lunar chart of 13 houses, what we now call the Zodiac. Horoscope means 'Star Watcher', or 'Time Keeper' & the Phoenician word for Saturn, or El, was *_Israel_* or _El,_ (Fruit) of Isis (Ishtar) & (Amin) Ra. Equally El is the 'Father' of Ra the Sun, & Consort of Isis the Earth Mother, ergo _'El Ptah'_ is the *Moon* or Set.
Phoenicia was the interim between Egypt & Greece, with artisans & culture exceeding that of the Greeks, whom literally adopted the Phoenician Alphabet, which we still use to this day; sounding out words phonetically. 'Phoenician' is alliterated in 'Venetian', & 'Vikings', being Kings of the Sea, [Sea Pharoahs]
El is the primary God of the Phoenicians, representing the offspring of Egypt, & his consort Astarte or Ishtar represents the Assyrian half of the alliance. Such lineages & alliances can be traced (through the naming of gods) to Ireland & the Vikings, Indonesia, the Americas; even as far away as Australia, & New Zealand.
It denotes Sirius as 'Son' of Orion & Pleiades, which sits at 33 degrees of the Zodiac. The basis of the Sothic (Seth) Decan Calendar of the Egyptians. The New Moon in this position marks Rosh Hashanah, the Egyptian, Celtic, Phoenician, & Assyrian New Year, with the first New Moon of September, so called as it's the 7th House of the Zodiac, when the Sun is in Ophuichus.
'Phoenix', 'Benben', or 'Bennu', is Egyptian for 'Heron', or Feathered 'Serpent'. It baptised itself in frankincense & myrrh at Baalbek, then alights atop the Great Pyramid, upon the Holy Grail, or Altar of Ra, every 630 years to take three days off the calendar; during the course of the first New Moon of Nisan, which means 'Prince'. The Capstone of Pyramids is even called the Benben or Bennu.
The Phoenix is found in all religions, which are all Astrological Allegory for the Moon travelling through the Constellations as a soul migrating from body to body. Thus is the basis of Joseph Campbell's Monomyth, or 'Hero's Journey' with the cycles & orbits of the planets serving as portents, omens, allies, etc. Thus Astrology was the Science of the Bronze Age & Reincarnation was the early teaching of the Gnostic Christian Church, & relates to the lineage of Kings: "The Pan is Dead! _Long live Pan!"_
The Bennu is the Egyptian Phoenix, to Phoenicians the Hoyle, Etruscans saw birds as sacred too, as did Celts, & Picts. Hebrew & Iberia have the same root; meaning _'over'_ ie _'overseas'_ or 'those [whom travel] over [the] sea'. A colony called Iberia also appeared on the Eastern shores of the Black Sea, with the same Dolmen & Megalithic culture originating in Ireland and Brittany circa 4500BC.
_Phoenician_ means 'Scion of the Phoenix', the first Bible: Vaticanus Graecus; 'Scion of the Sacred Serpent' (Prince). Then there's the Essenes; :Sons of Light', the Tuatha De Danaan; Sons of Light, Anunnaki; Sons of Light, Arthur Pendragon; Arthur [Thor] 'Son of the Dragon'. Chertoff is Russian for "Son of the Devil" & Dracula also means 'Scion of the Dragon'. Masons call themselves the "Brotherhood of the Great White Serpent", & the Ziggurat of Anu denotes her as a great white Serpent too, while at New Grange & the Bru na Boinne, Ireland (4000BC) the white quartz ramparts also denote the Moon. The Moon itself travels either side of the Solar Elliptic by 5 degrees through specific constellations in a serpentine fashion that is always changing, but repeats every 19 years, the time it took to train a Druid or Magi, Magi meaning 'Teacher'. The Phoenix is also associated with this sacred number 19.
"Pharoah" means 'Great House' or 'House of Light' & Cairo used to be called Babel. Pharaohs were called 'Commander in Chief' & wore a hooded crown representing feathers, as do Native American Chiefs, ie the Feathered Serpent. Aztecs also had 'Serpent Kings', (Canaan means Serpent Kings, & Sidon was a Son of Canaan & Great Grandson of Noah) who were called to lead with "cunning & guile" being the virtue of their "right to rule"; being seen as "just" in public, while shrewd in private. "As wise as Serpents, (while appearing as) _gentle_ as Doves." The old Egyptian flag of an Eagle holding a Snake is also reflected in the Modern Mexican flag, denoting the Constellations of Serpentis (13th sign of the Zodiac) and Aquila.
The dimensions & 12 mathematical constants of the Great Pyramid are also expressed in New Grange, & Stonehenge, as well as in Watson Brake, (2500BC) & Teotihuacan, which correlates to the Phoenician/ Sumerian Seximal system, which is what our modern systems of time are based on, unlocking a fractal pattern reflected in the musical chord, electrical resistance, relative Planetary orbits, indeed; throughout _all_ creation.
Officially no one knows who invented Astrology, the Zodiac, navigation by the stars, or time keeping. But whoever built the pyramids, & pioneered the 24hr clock in Egypt 5000 years ago already knew the exact dimensions of the Earth, & the speed of light. Because these can all be calculated using these Megalithic sites as a Surveyor use a Theodolite. Specifically at Teotihuacan; 230 degrees opposite Cairo, & with the exact same footprint. The ideal positions to determine the speed of light using the transit of Venus, allowing for accurate Longitude for Maritime navigation. Capt Cook did the same thing in 1774 when he 'discovered' Easter Island.
The only culture that fits the bill was wiped out "not one stone upon the other" by the Romans in 146BC. Tyre, the capital of Phoenicia (Israel) sat just offshore from Ursu Salaam: City of the New Moon; City [or 'Rock'] of Peace; root of the name _'Jerusalem'_ & was also seized by Rome in 70AD after a 3.5 year siege. The gap between is 216 years (6x6x6).
Greek Dionysians built the Temple of Solomon (now called the Temple of Melqart) representing the Solar Lunar (Solomonic) Metonic Calendar on which this system is based. They also carried mirrors, a practice associated with Magi, Druids, Greeks, & Egyptian scholars. These Mirrors are Astrological charts called 'Cycladic _Pans'_ & record the cycles of the planets. The first Temple of Melqart ( Phoenician Horus, Hercules, Pan, Thor) represents the 13th Constellation of Ophiuchus or 'Serpent Bearer' (hence Orphic Serpent worship) & had pillars of Emerald (Jasper) & Gold, ie Isis (Tree of Life) and Osiris (Tree of Knowledge). The Jerusalem Temple only took payment in "Shekels of Tyre" a currency minted during the Jewish rebellion against Rome, hence _"give that which is Caesar's unto Caesar"_
When Alexander sacked Tyre in 332BC they moved to Carthage meaning "New City" or New Jerusalem, & built a second temple with Pillars of Bronze. Nebuchadnezzar also sieged Tyre for 13 years, taking the City captive in 573BC: the same time as the biblical account of the Jews, (& again the Romans in 70AD after a 3.5 year siege, also consistent with the same biblical accounts).
Palaset was the name of a tribe of the Sea Peoples, Pallas _Set_ denotes the New Moon of Ammun Ra rising in Gemini, the *Pallas* Constellation of the Twins "that stand before Orion", due West of the Temple between the Gates [Pillars] of Gibraltar; "Gabriel's Altar", ie 'Pallas Stein', or Pallas Stone, 'Phallus' or Philosopher's Stone: the _"Rising Son"._ So 'Wormwood', like 'Tyre' means 'Bitter Rock', for the same reason; as the Son rising from the 'Bitter' [Salt or 'Black'] Sea of the Underworld; The 'Black Rock' or 'Gatestone' 🌑
The Cross of Tyre or Ba'El ❌ represents Lunar maximums & minimums & correlates with the Cross Quarter days of the Solstice Calendar. Align the Cross ❌ Chi Rho Christian ✝️ & Star 🔯 to the Zodiac, & you have a Compass & Timepiece that correlates to the Nautical Mile; allowing for global Maritime navigation.
It is in fact an Astrological allegory for a Sothic Metonic Saros Zodiac Calendar using Accusations in a Mirror 🪞

Ah, the Illyrians, the group of people that most people has never heard about, but certain people in the Balkans are obsessed about being descendants of.
Edit: I think I should clarify that I don't take any issue with people who are proud of said heritage, far from it. Only mildly annoyed at those who exaggerate it's importance and shove it down people's throats, so to speak.
Tbh as an albanian I am not that obsessed. They were insignificant and irrelevant in the ancient world stage.

@@user-vf3pe9ce5x Yeah, I'm sure most Albanians don't, there's just some(as with every country) who apparently builds their identity off it. I mean, the Illyrians are pretty cool though, especially with how many Roman Emperors were Illyrian.
Illyricum was always very important recruiting ground for the Romans even at the end. Losing Illyricum to the Eastern Roman Empire in 395 was a major blow. Stillicho tried to somehow get it back with the help of Alaric.

FINALLY!! Been waiting for ages for an Illyrian vid
A very good documentary kings and generals !!! You guys are the best !! Keep Going on 😮
Fantastic work, K&G! The Illyrians truly are a fascinating people. Would love to see more about the Apuli, the Messapians, or the numerous other peoples (ancient and medieval) of Southern Italy.
Recent finding near my Town on Peljesac peninsula in Croatia.
There are lots of burial mounds in hills near me.Tehy even found battle sight of legion clashing with Illyrians.
Lots of arrows,stones from balistas..
Do you have any links or mention of this? I live nearby and hadn't heard of any recent findings...
Great video!
Thank you for this video. I asked for it in the previous video, idk if you lot saw it or if it were a coincidence but thank you!
Awesome!! Did one about the tartesians and iberians, some of the most fascinating and unknown non indoeuropean civilizations of europe.
Video idea - life of Alcibiades
This guy was expelled few times and each time gone to the enemy side, got an army and crushed his previous country forces.
The content is very detailed and easy to understand. Extremely helpful for beginners like me!
Very informative ❤

Very nice. I like discussion on individual tribes in ancient history.
Thank you so much K&G
coolest helmet of the period. rome should have adopted
Yes I wish to have one that helmet 😢
More of this. I love learning about peoples from history that no one talks about especially since they have had an impact on history
Love to see videos about more obscure history!
Thank you! Nice and interesting.
Nicely informative video
Thanks for the information in this video
Awesome !! Thank you 🙏
Awesome content as always....... Who knows maybe 1000yrs later historians will use this video as reference in their literary works
Count America in as the falling empire.
Good video but honestly really short. So much history you could have discussed.
Wonderfull subject wery well written (as almst allways)and pruduced /as allways) Kudos to you guys!
Amazing footage! The way you captured the eagles in action is incredible.
Thanks!
We hope you will be able to make another series ofRoman and Bizantinum empires rolled by emperors with Illyrian origin.
Extremely interesting video
This is only partial history of Illyrians
We need part 2
Hello from the Adriatic Sea! Thanks for talking about this region.
Great video, but there's a lot more information out there on Illyrians.
Nice, I wished you delved a little deeper though.
You also have the Roman emperors of Illyrian decent, that would've been great to see.
Regardless, awesome video as usual!
Like your Thracians video, where is the subtitle?
In 12 hours or so
@@KingsandGeneralsliked the video, only wished you could have added that Albanian language is the only surviving language that seems to be descendants or closely related to Illyrian. Albanian language itself is a surviving paleo Balkanic language that got heavily latinized but still survived and make its own branch of the indo European family tree.
If Albanian is not directly descendants of Illyrian it is for sure closely related to Illyrian or another paleo Balkan language, wish you pointed that out a little
@@emanuelskelaj9843 Be it Illyrian or Thracian, we know almost nothing of early Thraco-Illyrian ethnogenesis, or when Proto-Illyrians first entered the Balkans. It could be prior to Proto-Greeks, but it might as well be after Proto-Greeks. One theory links the Proto-Illyrian migration into the Balkans from the Eastern Hallstatt Culture to the same timeperiod of Mycenean migration into the Balkans, which would make both people equally old (and would explain the genetic similarities between Albanians and Greeks). But besides that, we simply don’t know. What can be said is that both peoples are old, speaking languages that constitute independent branches of Indoeuropean.
That’s why this question can’t be answered. In the end, it doesn’t matter anyway. The first Proto-Greeks weren’t the same as modern Greeks, and the early Illyrians were not the same as modern Albanians.
@@Weedwizard600 yeah you are right, the only thing I wished is that he could have pointed out that Albanian language seems to be descended or closely related to Illyrian or another paleo balkanic language. That he could have said that Albanian is paleo balkanic
I have Waited for this Video for Years and Years. More Than Thank you to this Amazing Team
Speaking of early Slavs at the end there… how about a video on early Slavs?
Dude Slavs didnt exist in the times of Illyria they are Carpatian Barbarians coming from Ural-Ukraine
These guys gave Romans a hard time in the Balkans
I’ve actually been curious about Illyria!
Absolutely fascinating documentary on the Illyrians! Kings and Generals, you've outdone yourselves again with this deep dive into ancient history.
Actually 630 is not the last mention of the term in administrative meaning as during the Napoleon's rule place was called Illirian provinces.
No mention of the Bato revolt?
No Bato came to England and Alban. That's why I find so much Albanian words in this country
Guys thank you so much for spending so much time on Balkan history. If i wasn't a cheap Balkan man I would definetly join patreon; alas....
Illyrians. Finally. Thank you!

Love you K&G
The mentioned illyrian tribe Taulanti is used as a male firstname in Albanian language/people :)
There are few albanian males named Taulant, especially in Kosovo/Kosova to this day
The same is for illyrian tribe Dardani, i have a albanian friend named Dardan :)
Also the illyrian king Bardylis, there are male albanians named Bardhyll :)
Also illyrian queen Teuta, there are female named Teuta all over albanian speaking regions :)
Bardhyl means "White Star" in Albanian
Very good history video ,my favorite channel.I read about very interesting story and hope to see video one day its about the Qarmatians Shia mulums who sack Meccka in 930 AD and took the black stone the Kabba.
Well explained and narrated, please make a video about (Origin of Kurds)
Historians are still trying to figure out what happened to the Illyrians.
Got pushed south by the north invasions of Slavs, that's why only Albanians speak a language related to Illyrian.
@@thefallenvalley4340but how can we know whether Albanian is related to illyrian when we don’t even know what illyrian sounded like? Btw there are no historical records of them being pushed south, they likely simply assimilated into Slavic population which many dna tests confirm since people from former Yugoslavia have a very high illyrian admixture.
@@nosmokejazwinski6297How can they have Illyrian mixture ? When they speak Slavic ?And literally arrived in the region at 700 BC .Are you fucking mad?? We are talking about a people who have been in the region for 4000 years since pelasgians .Thats before Greeks arrived from Asia Minor just use google man .Why do you people have to argue about something it doesn’t affect you directly when only affects the Albanians and maybe Greeks in the later stages .
The last remnants who survived complete romanization hellenization and the slavic migration are now the modern day albanians.
@@nosmokejazwinski6297 "I lire" means to "be free" in the Albanian language today. Also, yes many assimilated into the slavic culture, some by force and some by free will. Albanians think that Croatians and Bosnians were probably part of the Illyrian culture, whereas Serbs come from later migrations during 6th century AD. Take into account that Croatians and Bosnians belong primarily to the I haplogroup, same as Serbs and Albanians belong to E, R1b and J2. So genetically we are different, culturally not so much.
Ive actually conquered most of europe using them in Rome 2 on PC but carthage grew just as fast as i did and they had elephants i didnt. So i they took spain and modern day france along with africa. I took asia minor and the rest of europe. I had more numbers hence why they stopped attacking
Bloody Carthage. We show go visit them, bring salt.
Excellent video 📹
A very important part of European 🇪🇺 history and present day culture.

@@patriotalbanian3205 Well we were conquered by the romans quite early on. But we did have alot of influence through illyrian roman emperors. But today we arent exactly the biggest people, we are like 8 million in total?
@@patriotalbanian3205 Europe would still be here be it without Illyrians or Albanians.
@@DarkEagle99 Emperors can only do much, Illyrian society in of it itself was not even close to Greeks or Romans. They did not even left any inscriptions.
@@Herm3ssssIm getting strong "my daddy is stronger than your daddy" vibes here. I know we were not center of the world. Same even applies to Greeks and Romans. If they werent the dominant ones someone else would have taken their place. That is nature.
This is a lovely bit of insight.
I first became interested in the Illyrians and illyricum after running my commercial DNA Data through a website called "My true ancestry." It stated that my DNA matched many archeological samples from this region as well as pannonia. (I recommend this fun tool/service if anyone likes that sorta thing)
Even though my European heritage is French and Spanish, I found it intriguing that I got such results.
Unfortunately most of the material out there on illyria is thin, boring and not very informative in the shadow of Rome and Greece! I was so happy to see this video as it helped give me more insight into my supposed ancient ancestry!
Thanks for making this and for all you all do! ⚔️

Since Latins and Albanians suffer under the unbearable yoke and extremely dire bondage of their odious Slav leaders whom they detest - the people being tormented, the clergy humiliated and oppressed, the bishops and abbots often kept in chains, the nobles disinherited and held hostage, episcopal and other churches disbanded and deprived of their rights, and the monasteries in decay and ruin - they would all to a man believe that they were consecrating their hands in the blood of the aforementioned Slavs if a French prince were to appear before them whom they could make leader of their war against the said evil Slavs, the enemies of our true faith.

Albanians are goat herders brought to Balkans in the 13th/14th century, originating from Middle Asia and Caucasus, they have nothing in common with Illyria apart from occupying that particular living space. Albanian language has no similarities whatsoever with anything ancient apart from present day Greek from which they incorporated many words and some Turkish words as well.
Truly amazing seeing our Illyrian history like this merged into one well made video. I'm happy everyone gets to see a little bit of Albanian history! 🇦🇱🇦🇱 Besa Besë
Bahahahahahaha😂😂😂😂
Finally 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Please cover the Sarmations, Avars, and Crimean Tatars.
Zoti me trojet tona ilire jam ilir KG you are the professional teacher nobody need learning history if we have KG thanks so much my heart pump up learning about my ancestors ILLIRYA long live king agron father of Albanians long live KG my favorite professional teacher
Geto-Dacians next?
They did a video on the Thracians and the Geto-Dacians are a sub-group of the Thracians (they spoke the some language and shared physical traits like light hair and light eyes) but a solo video just about the Geto-Dacians would be cool.
Thank you for this interesting Video! Another fact worthy of mention is that many elements of the illyrian culture survived until today through the albanians. Many elements of illyrian beliefs like the cult of the Sun or the serpent as widespread folk symbol are found in the albanian culture.
He needs to study Albanian language than he might come in conclusion
Do you remember the source for saying that the coast was conquered? Would like to read more about it 13:04
I always thought that Scipio Corculum conquered a coastal part of the Dalmatians, but apparently it was more the hinterlands, right?
please make a video about the Dacians and Pre-colonial Southern Africa. 🙏 🙏
*Are the Illyrians the ancestors of the Albanians?*
Yes
There is a BBC documentary about Ancient Rome (8 Days Of Rome) and there it is mentioned that after the death of Julius Ceasar, the Romans called his nephew to come and take his legacy and they say "the nephew of Julius Ceasar was studying in Illyria , nawadays Albania".
So, Illyria wasnt just for retired Roman legionairs, but they came here even for studies, as a cultural and religious hotspot.
What about an episode of Baltic peoples next time. Everything about Baltic peoples including mythology.
Great to see this video,
I dont know why so many greeks and serbs seem so pressed about it....
They hate the idea of the Albanians being autochthonous to the region. Greeks do not care but Serbs loose their minds. The Oxford latest genetics study on the Albanian had 3 Greek professors in it confirming ONCE again that Albanians descend from The Illyrians.
Europeans...
🇬🇷💪🏻🤫
@@napalm-gr 🇦🇱 💪 🤫
they hate us cuz they aint us
2:20 Correction: I think you meant to say Liburnians?
Perhaps the Alans? They rarely receive much attention, despite playing a significant part in both halves of the empire and successor states in the West.
Illuminatingly illustrious Illyrians. Chef's kiss alliteration.
2:20 Aren't Histri considered Illirian as well? or Illiro-celts?
Be it Illyrian or Thracian, we know almost nothing of early Thraco-Illyrian ethnogenesis, or when Proto-Illyrians first entered the Balkans. It could be prior to Proto-Greeks, but it might as well be after Proto-Greeks. One theory links the Proto-Illyrian migration into the Balkans from the Eastern Hallstatt Culture to the same timeperiod of Mycenean migration into the Balkans, which would make both people equally old (and would explain the genetic similarities between Albanians and Greeks). But besides that, we simply don’t know. What can be said is that both peoples are old, speaking languages that constitute independent branches of Indoeuropean.
That’s why this question can’t be answered. In the end, it doesn’t matter anyway. The first Proto-Greeks weren’t the same as modern Greeks, and the early Illyrians were not the same as modern Albanians.
@@Weedwizard600 yeah a lot of people see greeks as a monolith troughout the history.
In reality Minoan culture was connected to the Phoenician, Micenians were a whole other thing and later on you hed the Dorians, Ionians, Atticans ..... and IDK who else
@@PeoplecallmeLucifer well modern Greeks are definitely there descendants more than anyone else
@@Weedwizard600 I mean yeah. but they weren't a monolithic group at least until the Romans conquered the area
Very interesting people👏👏💘💘
The Illyrians are to the ancient world what Scotland was to the middle ages ?
me leaving the document preparing to see balkan civil war in the comments
Albanian from Kosovo here. I thought the same, but surprisingly little. Its almost like we are behaving "civilized".. allmost
@@DarkEagle99 nice people bro , greetings from Egypt
@@DarkEagle99 nah just he didn't let space for Serbs to talk. He even said that Christianity was there before the early Slavs so they have nothing to say
Taulantii tribe in greek was translated as Chelidoni which means Swallow Bird. Swallow bird in Arberesh Albanian is Tallandishe and in Albanian Dallandyshe. Also the names of the days of the week in albanian are half from the Illyrian Pantheon and half from the Roman one. 🇦🇱 love the video

not near Split..it's basically the old town of modern Split
Make a video on the fall of the assyrian empire
I think it's worth noting that Messapic, an Illyrian tribe and dialect of Illyrian has had itself decoded for decades by mostly Western linguists and they've concluded that Albanian is the only relative. There is already quite many books about it. I wouldn't that easily say that there is no known Illyrian languages to be alive. Where did Albanian language come from?
Indo european language with no relatives. "Closest" relative language is greek, but that might be due to proximity and trade as Greek basically had the same role as English has today and influenced the modern albanian language. Who knows.
I also am surprised by "no known Illyrian languages to be alive". I heard plenty times in person from Albanians that they speak Illyrian. That would mean that they are wrong about their own origin and identity
@@jakubkubiszewski7754 According to linguists albanian is most likely the only "surviving" version of a mix of southern illyrian tribes (words, and names). But it was also influenced by thracian and greek. So if that is true, I wouldnt say they were directly wrong, but not completely correct either. Language changes over time.
@@jakubkubiszewski7754 There is enough evidence to make an assumption that Albanians are descendants of Illyrians. No known mass migration into Balkan, Albanoi Illyrian tribe located in Albania, isolated language of Balkan origin, same haplogroup as Greeks close relatives, Messapic-Albanian connection, heavy Latin influence in Albanian language due to Roman invasion of Illyria. That’s why most historians and linguists point to Albanians when it comes to Illyrians. There has been Thracian and Dacian studies due to how close Romanian and Albanian language are, but Illyrian seems to be way more accurate and close at least.
@@DarkEagle99 Balkan as a whole is a mix of each other, and certain areas are more Illyrian than others, but saying Albanians carry the remaining pieces of Illyrian civilization would be pretty accurate on what i’ve gathered.
where are my dardanians? 😎
I really appreciate that you guys always put sources bellow your videos but I dont get the sources you used in this video. Its all literature about the Thracians, was it a mistake or you did base this video on the bibliography you put in this video sources? Because there is some great books about illyrians published on english by great slovenian, bosnian, croatian proffesors and specialists in the Illyrians from Ljubljana, Sarajevo, Zagreb and Zadar.
It is fixed now. I have misplaced the files. Thanks for the heads up!
I'm not here for the video, i'm here for the comment section.
Rome had to fight about 250 years to conquer illyrian tribes and even then some mountainous regions remained free first library build in rome was financed from plundering illyria
Yes thats how modern day albanians came to be
@@soul8938 And while fighting the romans and slavs we also fought eachother :D
@@DarkEagle99oh boy we love fighting each other, that is our favourite activity, the fight just makes more sense to us. 😂
Can you make video about Austronesians, please
What’s that???
@@anonymos59austria but brown.
It's fascinating to me that ancient city SIRMIUM (north Serbia) is so rarely mentioned. It is the birthplace of 8 (maybe 9) Roman Emperors from the late period.
Why should it be mentioned in this video
Epiros and Macedonia and Dardan are also Ilyrian tribes
This is a bit strange to make a video about the Illyrians and then say we don't know what they "spoke, or what their customs were" when there is so much linguistic evidence showing that the Albanian language has evolved from an Illyrian language. I get the fact that Illyrians weren’t a homogenous people, so the Dardanians were most likely different from Dalmatians. You don't have to be an MIT professor of linguistics to see the correlation and the fact that so many linguists have already done this for you, and all you have to do is mention it.
I would understand if there is so little linguistic evidence but on the contrary. In the making of this video and the research behind it, you surely have seen linguists talking extensively about it. ” In the end, it’s about celebrating their history”, it’s also about respecting their legacy because it’s still alive in the Albanian language.
That’s my 5 cents to the discussion. Carry on…
Albanians have as much to do with the Illyrians as The Book of Mormon has to do with the history of the Jews.
King Bardhylli was the greatest Dardanian King ( in Albanian Bardh means WHITE and Yll means STAR) He died in the battle at the age of 96.Dardanians worshiped the Sun just like Macedonians.
@@UlpianaE30 So, I can observe all Czech, Polish, Russian, Croatian kings in a direct hereditary line to me because I am familiar with their names? And I do not belong to any of the listed people.
This is not a science fiction channel. That is why.
@@user-nf1uj4jn8b Were talking about language not about direct line descent
Bardh in Albanian language means white and Yll means star yet the video claimed little is know about thier language
Bardhyll is a name Albanians know the meaning of and its still used today
Queen Teuta of the Illyrians was a force to reckon with,.meaning the Illyrian women were as formidable as the men in leadership and warfare
Queen Teuta was one of the most interesting queen's in antiquity.
Nah .. she is over rated. But surely under rated for a woman in Antiquity
I think the Albanian language is at least partially descended from Illyrian.

@@chadvogel3594 That has been somewhat established recently due to Messapic language but also Albanian and messapic are coined under the Illyric umbrella or sometimes it would be Illyrian,Albanian,Messapic coined under Albanoid, Albanic or Illyric which is a very close relationship between the languages. Partially true.
