@progresstothestarsYou sound ridiculous in every word you say. Just BS. First of all the eagle is an Illyrian symbol. Illyrians (our ancestors) used it before anyone else. Then Byzantine Empire took it and continued to use it. It was used by Albanian noble families which ruled the Albanian principalities in the early Middle Ages and then it continued to be used by our national hero Gjergj Kastriot Skenderbe in all of his battles. And we still have that same flag. 🇦🇱🦅. We call ourselves Shqipetare which in Albanian means sons of eagle. Shqiponje means eagle in Albanian. Then we use the word shqip meaning to speak, communicate, to express. Shqiptoj is the verb. So it’s Albanian word. We have the word uje for water and for the sea 🌊 det. Those are Albanian authentic words that don’t have anything to do with your Serbian language. Our language is more rich and way more older than yours. We are autochthonous in those lands. It’s proven scientifically and historically that we are natives in the Balkan while you came in 7th century from the Carpathians in Russia. 👋
@@gueswhosthisThose are 🇦🇱 ancient symbols, but if you have a dirty mind, that’s on you. The purpose of the comment was completely different than the one you are implying.
I just wanted to say that all your Albanian historical documentaries are spectacular and brilliantly covered. It really gives me joy watching these videos, being just perfectly articulate to detailed length as they are. There is no other channel around covering Albanian history precisely like you do, especially a fellow Albanian. Bravo, meriton ma shum per ket kontribut qe e jep!

You have to see, the Argonauts who also deal with the Albanians, that's why the Ottoman Empire called us Arnauts, they just left out (go) and Arnaut abkütz.

I love you documentaries, and this one helps to understand why the Albanian flag is one of the only few may be 2nd or 3rd world oldest flags in the world, you truly are amazing in thees type factual documentary’s, and i love watching & sometimes sharing them to👏👏
Really beautiful done. You captured the essence of spirituality, myth, legends, and symbolism and put the development into a historical context that captures the truth of the Albanian language. Identity shifts, so does conscious awareness. Context dramatically changes the psyche and awareness of a people as well. But what is astonishing is that you found the true myth of our language, founded on the beauty of nature and the spirit behind. Thank you for this great video!

Whether he was Arbresh or not is rather difficult to claim. However, despite his true origin, his lengthy campaigns against Ali Pash Tepelena is very interesting. Perhaps a video down the line.
Sure he was arberesh . At fisrt his family migrated from Morea to south italy like many arbers , then from italy to france . At his army there were formations of stradioti , albanian warriors . And historians said that sometimes he spoke in an strange language (albanian) to these formations

I bet all this amazing work wich includes many historical facts not easy to puzzle them all together if you dont have the knowledge , being a researcher ,and above all being passionate with doses of patriotism wouldnt be here to enjoy. I am very sure its done from alba niggaz wich live abroad like everything good that happened in our history . Our recent historians and archeologists have been too busy with politics and they have spend all their energy how to lie and destroy further our country instead of preserving it. What good we had from our history is either albanians living abroad or those that they left like most are doing even now . ofc austrians and other foreigners have done the work we couldnt .Hope this channel will shed a light about us and no matter how little still will help a lot of foreigners wich have touristic interest to understand better our country and they will be amazed to find out that we dont have just cheap seas and montains but also a very ancient culture. I hope the team involved can Keep up the good work and never give up. Thanks for the video and what you guys doing there
I got goosebumps when you mentioned Eagle people - Land of Eagle - Eagle language ... that's the reason of the word Shqiptar it comes from Shqiponja , being Called Illyrian (Iliri) which means freedom , Eagle is the meaning of Freedom , there is no predators for Eagles they rule the land and especially the sky , proud to be Shqiptar Ilir

Hey hey you there… Scanderberg incorporated his double head eagle from his father, and his father Kastrioti from his father. By the way, at that time there was no facebook, no youtube and no internet. That means you could not copy something that is used at the other part of the world. The double head eagle in modern Albania was herritaged to us just like our language, which has not been transformed since the Ilirian times like greek or latin.
"Skanderbeg ADOPTED the similar BYZANTINE imperial flag, with the double-headed eagle and the red background, and his victories brought him the papal title Athleta Christi." wiki/Flag_of_Albania
The Pelasgians were proto Albanians and were considered barbaric by Greeks. Pelasgian family lists languages in four groups, of which only Albanian is well-attested» Oxford University Linguistics “The speakers of the Indo-European language that would become Albanian and the speakers of the Indo-European language (Hellenic Albanian) that would become Modern Greek were the first to enter the Illyrian Peninsula whose languages are of relevance for modern Albanian linguistics.”: «Nonetheless, most historians have decided that the evidence linking Albanian to Messapic, which in turn has been linked to Illyrian, is sufficient to see Albanian as a descendant of a language to Illyrian, if not a descendant of Illyrian itself» It is argued that Albanian's affinities to the Messapic language proved that, at the very least, it was part of the same brandy as illyrian John Van Antwerp (1991). University of Michigan, Press. Book: (the illyrians were able to rettest into the mountains at the time of slavic migrations and thereby to retain their identities as albanians» Also «traditionally scholars have seen the illyrians as the proto - albanians». Scholars like the Oxford Professor of History, Noel Malcolm, link the Albanian origin to the ancient area of Epirus. Again, some will probably oppose this explanation solely due to political bias. By Budapest university in hungary: «The albanians are one of the most ancient people of southeast Europe; their ancestors were illyrians... From Linköping university: «order to understand the Albanian language, one must first understand this country’s history.

Keep at it brother, the biggest historical cover up will be known by everyone, but i feel like you should have gone into the plis or qeleshe and how it represents the egg of the eagle, and also in what country was the illyrian engraving of the double headed eagle on the soilders shield found?
Both Albanian and Greek mythology descend from Palesgian mythology, and the Palesgians themselves likely inherited it from the Mesopotamians or Levanites. The Indo-Europeans came and assimilated the Palesgians, leading to Illryian and Hellenic cultures.
Albanians created the universe. The God is an albanian. The ancient Greeks, Romans , Egypt, Mesopotamia, ancient India and China, Inka and Mayans- all Albanians. Adam and Eve were sent to Albania first , which is actually Heaven on Earth. Bravo👏

Who knows why the Romans called the today's center-north of Albania ILLYRIA GRAECA or EPIRUS NOVA with the most famous Greek Colonies such as Apollonia, Epidamnus and Lissos which still can be seen. On the other hand the center-Southern part of today's Albania all the way down to today's Arta in Greece was called in the Roman era OLD EPIRUS or EPIRUS VETA land of the Greek tribes of Chaonians, Molossians, and Thesprotians. The Illyrian tribes living in EPIRUS NOVA were conquered by the Greeks (Macedonians) and fully hellenized by the 4th century BC and thus assimilated. As far as it concerns the Pelasgian Tribes were pre-hellenic and Crete, Thera (Santorini) etc are great examples of early Hellenic History. The "Catalogue of Women" (7th century BC) presents an aitiology for the various tribes of the Greeks (Hellenes), deriving them from Hellen and Pandora, the children of Deukalion and Pyrrha (Πύρρα which in Greek means "red haired" or "fire colored)). Pandora (named after her grandmother Pandora) together with Zeus had three sons: Graecus, Magnetas and Makednos, while Hellen had the three sons Dorus, Xuthus (with his sons Ion and Achaeus) and Aeolos, corresponding to the founders of the seven tribes of the (Boeotian) Graecians, the (Thessalian) Magnetes, the Macedonians, the Dorians, the Ionians, the Achaeans and the Aeolians, respectively. All the following are the most known Hellenic Tribes which inhabited the entire Greek Peninsula, the Islands and most parts of the modern Albania: LATE STONE AND EARLY BRONZE AGE Pelasgians Minoic Cretans LATE BRONZE AGE (Mycenaean Greece) *Achaeans/Ahhiyawa IRON AGE *Aeolians **Thessalians **Magnesians **Boeotians ***Thebans *Ionians (Attic-Ionic) **Athenians **Euboeans **Milesians *Dorians **Spartans **Locrians **Cretans **Rhodians **Aetolians *Arcado-Cypriots **Arcadians **Cypriots *Macedonians; *Epirotes; *Thracian Greeks or Aegean Thracians; *Geloni THE REST IS THE NEWLY FOUND ALBANIAN NATIONALISM AND PROPAGANDA EVEN IF IT IS FULLY EVIDENT THAT MOST OF TODAY'S ALBANIA HAS GREEK AND NO SO MUCH ILLYRIAN PAST. MANY ALBANIANS ARE EPIROTES WHICH WAS AN ANCIENT GREEK TRIBE. EVEN TODAY, THE SOUTHERN PART OF ALBANIA IS INHABITED BY A GREEK MINORITY WHICH HAS ANCIENT EPIROTE ORIGINS. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED ALBANIA AND GREECE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ONE STATE SINCE THEY HAVE ONE COMMON HISTORY (WHICH ISN'T ALBANIAN BUT EPIROTE). Skanderbeg’s (Kastriotis) helmet says clearly his titles and separates distingly the Greek tribes (Emathians and Epirotes) from the Albanian ones on its Inscription. The helmet is made of white metal, adorned with a strip dressed in gold. On its top lies the head of a horned goat made of bronze, also dressed in gold. The bottom part bears a copper strip adorned with a monogram separated by rosettes * IN * PE * RA * TO * RE * BT *, which means: Iesus Nazarenus * Principi Emathie * Regi Albaniae * Terrori Osmanorum * Regi Epirotarum * Benedictat Te (Jesus Nazarene Blesses Thee [Skanderbeg], Prince of Emathia (since he was named after Alexander the Great), King of Albania, Terror of the Ottomans, King of Epirus). So we observe that Epirotans and Emathians as Greeks are separately named from Albanians which means that they were 2 different peoples under Kastrioti's rule.
@@Usera2324dfre in our area and where we live of course is everything Hellenic (Greek), have no doubts about that... and yes most Albanians aren't Sqhiptaret but Epirotes ( a Greek tribe). Is it so tragic for you??? if it is then deal with it but we won't let you revise history because the historical truth doesn't suit you.
Skenderbeg, Đurađ Kastriot , was an orthodox Serb. His father Jovan was a ruler of Zeta and his mother Vojislava was the from the Branković family. Skenderbeg 's father was buried in Hilandar, the most sacred serbian monastery and his and the name of his sons - Ivan, Đurađ, Staniša..are written on the walls of Hilandar in Serbian cirilic. This area was inhabited by Ilirians ( Serbs) and Greeks. Serbs are Ilirians who later blended with Slavs.
Great video and wonderful insight.. I am of Ancient Scots/Irish descent, my family name Is "O'Riada" and our family crest Is actually a "double headed eagle," and the name O'Riada [Irish] (Anglicized = Reed) can be traced to northern Phoenicia circa 1500bc and it derives from the people who worshipped the Goddess "Rhea".. cheers Aj

Excellent! Must add to this beautiful lecture that the Hittites relate to the Illyrian-Dardanians. The very late discoveries of their writing tells to the scholars that their language relates to Albanian. The double headed eagle of the Hittites came to the Illyrian Peninsula or vice-versus.

Great video, but you just forgot to specify that Skanderbeg did not put this symbol as a representative of the Leage of Lezha in 1444, only because of his knowledge of the ancient history of his people, but besides being the inherited symbol of the principality of his Kastrioti family, it was also inherited as the coat of arms of other Albanian families, or other Albanian principalities of the Middle Ages, such as the principality of the Dukagjini, Arianiti, Muzaka, Gjurashi, etc. as a part of Skandarbeg's Leage of Lezha.

Dude, these are Albanians.... they don't care about history. They are fanatics, lunatics who want to live in their dreams, thus they fabricate their own pseudohistories just like the Skopjans next to them. You need to understand that we talk of a nation that has as its "national hero" Georgios Kastriotis, a Greek from father/grandfather and Serbian from mother, Albanian possibly only from grandma who fought against the muslim Turks..... when 80% of modern Albanians (Albania and Kosovo) are of muslim background and fought against the Christians on every single war including today (e.g. Albanians were the No1 European nationality members of ISIS in Syria). So much respect they have to their "national hero" that when Erdogan, president of Turkey, visited Tirana they had to cover the statue of their national hero in order to not provoke him !!! You can't make that sh*t up! You are not going to find logic among these people. You are not talking to them, you are talking to their complexes of inferiority.
Albania is an autochthonous people that has been fighting for its freedom and independence for centuries against enemies and oppressors of all kinds: the Albanians: Through all the struggles and all the historical upheavals, this people has retained its originality; Neither the migration of peoples nor the battles with Greeks, Serbs, Turks and other conquerors and oppressors were able to prevent the Albanians from maintaining their uniqueness pure and unadulterated in race and language, in customs and manners. Historian - Hanslörg Frommer Today only the Albanians, with their independent language, see themselves as descendants of the Illyrians. Historian -Theodor Mommsen was a German historian and is considered one of the most important antiquarians of the 19th century. The only Nobel Prize winner for literature. The brave ones from Epirus are the Albanians from antiquity, loyal, courageous traditional people whose flag has always been their eagle. Karl Kaser - historian Sees today's Albanians as the descendants of the remaining non-romanized Illyrian population. To support his view, he cites results from Albanian archeology and linguistics Johann Georg von Hahn Josef ritter von xylander historian These two represent the thesis of the autochthonous nature of today's Albanians, which is linked to the Pelasgians The Albanians have a language completely different from that of the Latins, Greeks and Slavs, so they cannot communicate in any way with other peoples". Historian - Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer There is a people on the Illyrian Peninsula whose language, in its structure and core, bears not the slightest resemblance to either Greek, Turkish or the Slavic dialects spoken today in most of south east europe.
@@southepirote7676 Quoting 19th century pseudohistorians and their champion Fallmy won't do you any goood. Albanians are not only the most mixed up group in the Balkans with wide variations in terms of genetics (ranging from Greek-like to Serbian-like) but their language is also a mashup which of course has not a single sign of having even the slightest connection wiith Illyrian. Albanian is clearly a language that arrived in the Balkans pretty much at the same era the Slavic languages arrived.

I just wanted to say I like the way you missed the Selcuk Empire which was a Turkish Empire with a Double Eagle headed flag. Also the moon and crescent that was a symbol of illyium proves that maybe we have deeper routes before the ottomans.
@@akrepi88la11 Turks did not proceed West after the Successful 1071 Manzikert (Malazgirt) war. If you go further even to the Celts they have Turkish heritage and migrated from Anatolia. Like I said we have deep routes where Turks have travelled far and wide.
@albdrill The Muslims took the moon and the Star from the conquest of the byzantines (particularly constantinople if my memory serves correctly). Islam originally and for a long time had no symbols, but the ottomans adopted it from either the Greeks during their conquests. There are also theories that it comes from the Persians, because the sassanids used to mint coins with crescent moons which the islamic empire adopted and used but I think this theory is much weaker.
Have you ever wondered why there are no ancient Illyrian writers? Why there are only Greek-Roman ancient monuments and temples in Albania and no Illyrian? Why the modern scientific community and linguists do not find any connection between the Illyrian language and the Albanian language?
The notion of Greeks being ethnically homogenous and direct descendants of the Hellenes has been a persistent narrative, often used to foster a sense of unity and historical continuity. However, a closer examination reveals the complexity and diversity within the Greek population, challenging the simplistic portrayal of ethnic homogeneity and direct lineage from the ancient Hellenes. To begin with, Greece has been a crossroads of various civilizations throughout history, including interactions with Albanians, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and others. This rich history of cultural exchanges has inevitably left an imprint on the ethnic composition of the region. Genetic studies indicate a diversity of influences, reflecting the historical interactions and migrations that have shaped the genetic makeup of the Greek people. This diversity challenges the notion of a singular, homogeneous ethnic origin. Moreover, the concept of ethnicity itself is complex and dynamic. It is not solely determined by genetic factors but is also influenced by cultural, linguistic, and historical elements. While the Hellenes were indeed one of the ancient tribes in the region, claiming a direct ethnic lineage from them oversimplifies the intricate processes of cultural assimilation, intermixing, and acculturation that have occurred over centuries. Language, often considered a key marker of ethnic identity, also presents complexities. The modern Greeks language belongs to the Indo-European family but is distinct within this linguistic group. While it has roots in the Hellenic language, linguistic evolution and influences from Latin, Slavic, and other languages have contributed to its unique character. This linguistic complexity challenges the notion of a straightforward, unbroken linguistic continuity between ancient Hellenic and modern Greek. Historical records further complicate the narrative of ethnic homogeneity. The region has witnessed migrations, invasions, and changes in political control, all of which have contributed to the diversity within the Greek population. The medieval period, for example, saw the influx of various groups, including Slavs and Normans, leaving lasting cultural and genetic impacts. In conclusion, the idea of Greeks being ethnically homogenous and direct descendants of the Hellenes is a simplistic narrative that does not fully capture the complexity of Greece's history and the diversity within its population. Genetic, linguistic, and historical evidence points to a more nuanced and multifaceted reality, highlighting the need to approach the question of Greek identity with a recognition of the intricate processes of cultural evolution and interaction that have shaped the region over millennia.

@@wardafournello the Greek language was dominant at that time and was often used to communicate with other people who belonged to other nations. It was same as English is used today. That doesn’t mean that Illyrians didn’t have their own language. They had a language, their own culture and civilization, their own kings and queens, etc. As for the connection of the language, all languages evolve with time, but linguistics say Albanian language is the closest one to the Messapic and Illyrian. Many names, places, names of the Illyrian kings and queens have a meaning in Albanian language. Most of the proof is destroyed or stolen intentionally. Some are destroyed during strong earthquakes in the area and by the non ending wars in this area. Illyrians and Albanians have been in constant battles and wars with other nations for as long as it can be said. Albania 🇦🇱 only after the World War Two didn’t have any wars.

@progresstothestarsYou sound ridiculous in every word you say. Just BS. First of all the eagle is an Illyrian symbol. Illyrians (our ancestors) used it before anyone else. Then Byzantine Empire took it and continued to use it. It was used by Albanian noble families which ruled the Albanian principalities in the early Middle Ages and then it continued to be used by our national hero Gjergj Kastriot Skenderbe in all of his battles. And we still have that same flag. 🇦🇱🦅. We call ourselves Shqipetare which in Albanian means sons of eagle. Shqiponje means eagle in Albanian. Then we use the word shqip meaning to speak, communicate, to express. Shqiptoj is the verb. So it’s Albanian word. We have the word uje for water and for the sea 🌊 det. Those are Albanian authentic words that don’t have anything to do with your Serbian language. Our language is more rich and way more older than yours. We are autochthonous in those lands. It’s proven scientifically and historically that we are natives in the Balkan while you came in 7th century from the Carpathians in Russia. 👋

Some Albanians are starting considering Napoleon as an Arberesh from Italy. I would like to make a video about it.

Sure he was arberesh . At fisrt his family migrated from Morea to south italy like many arbers , then from italy to france . At his army there were formations of stradioti , albanian warriors . And historians said that sometimes he spoke in an strange language (albanian) to these formations
Im albanian but i don’t agree with the theory that he’s arber

I am very sure its done from alba niggaz wich live abroad like everything good that happened in our history . Our recent historians and archeologists have been too busy with politics and they have spend all their energy how to lie and destroy further our country instead of preserving it. What good we had from our history is either albanians living abroad or those that they left like most are doing even now . ofc austrians and other foreigners have done the work we couldnt .Hope this channel will shed a light about us and no matter how little still will help a lot of foreigners wich have touristic interest to understand better our country and they will be amazed to find out that we dont have just cheap seas and montains but also a very ancient culture. I hope the team involved can Keep up the good work and never give up. Thanks for the video and what you guys doing there
I got goosebumps when you mentioned Eagle people - Land of Eagle - Eagle language ... that's the reason of the word Shqiptar it comes from Shqiponja , being Called Illyrian (Iliri) which means freedom , Eagle is the meaning of Freedom , there is no predators for Eagles they rule the land and especially the sky , proud to be Shqiptar Ilir

Hey hey you there… Scanderberg incorporated his double head eagle from his father, and his father Kastrioti from his father. By the way, at that time there was no facebook, no youtube and no internet. That means you could not copy something that is used at the other part of the world. The double head eagle in modern Albania was herritaged to us just like our language, which has not been transformed since the Ilirian times like greek or latin.
"Skanderbeg ADOPTED the similar BYZANTINE imperial flag, with the double-headed eagle and the red background, and his victories brought him the papal title Athleta Christi."

The Pelasgians were proto Albanians and were considered barbaric by Greeks. Pelasgian family lists languages in four groups, of which only Albanian is well-attested»
Oxford University Linguistics
“The speakers of the Indo-European language that would become Albanian and the speakers of the Indo-European language (Hellenic Albanian) that would become Modern Greek were the first to enter the Illyrian Peninsula whose languages are of relevance for modern Albanian linguistics.”:
«Nonetheless, most historians have decided that the evidence linking Albanian to Messapic, which in turn has been linked to Illyrian, is sufficient to see Albanian as a descendant of a language to Illyrian, if not a descendant of Illyrian itself»
It is argued that Albanian's affinities to the Messapic language proved that, at the very least, it was part of the same brandy as illyrian
John Van Antwerp (1991). University of Michigan, Press. Book: (the illyrians were able to rettest into the mountains at the time of slavic migrations and thereby to retain their identities as albanians»
Also «traditionally scholars have seen the illyrians as the proto - albanians».
Scholars like the Oxford Professor of History, Noel Malcolm, link the Albanian origin to the ancient area of Epirus. Again, some will probably oppose this explanation solely due to political bias.
By Budapest university in hungary:
«The albanians are one of the most ancient people of southeast Europe; their ancestors were illyrians...
From Linköping university:
«order to understand the Albanian language, one must first understand this country’s history. Being one of the oldest peoples in the southeast Europe, Albanians have a formidable history dating back to the time of Alexander the Great but even further back via the history of their ancestors, the Illyrians.
Published by H. M. Stationary office in university of California
«the albanians, skipetars, epirotes, dardanians are descendants of the ancient illyrians.
This book is by university of california as you can see with the «univ calif» ok the Bottom of every page in the book.
«While the strong men of Albania, like their ancestors Who lived before agamemnon» page 179
Also «the illyrian tribes, now represented by shkypetar or albanians» page 181.
«by constantine A. Chekrezi, A. B. (Harv)» aka by Harvard university (best university in the world), also published in Columbia university as it also says.
«It is generally recognized to-day that the albanians are the most ancient race in southeastern europe. All indications point to the fact that They are the descendants of the earliest pelasgians were represented in historical times by the kindred illyrians, macedonians.» in page 3.
also «this (albanian) language is particularly interesting as the only surviving representative of the so called illyrian group of languages» in page 5.
By University of NORTH Dakota: «the albanians are Among the oldest people of europe. Anciently their country formed a part of the roman provinces of illyria epirus». In page 1
By Colorado state university:
«Archaeological excavations in central and northwest Greece have brought to light the cultural and skeletal remains of the ancient Illyrians» also:
«the physical activity of the illyrians, ancient albanians...» both of these sentences is in page 1.
Because Serbian noble men have white doble- headed eagle on their armour, he was a Serb .

Both Albanian and Greek mythology descend from Palesgian mythology, and the Palesgians themselves likely inherited it from the Mesopotamians or Levanites. The Indo-Europeans came and assimilated the Palesgians, leading to Illryian and Hellenic cultures.

Who knows why the Romans called the today's center-north of Albania ILLYRIA GRAECA or EPIRUS NOVA with the most famous Greek Colonies such as Apollonia, Epidamnus and Lissos which still can be seen. On the other hand the center-Southern part of today's Albania all the way down to today's Arta in Greece was called in the Roman era OLD EPIRUS or EPIRUS VETA land of the Greek tribes of Chaonians, Molossians, and Thesprotians. The Illyrian tribes living in EPIRUS NOVA were conquered by the Greeks (Macedonians) and fully hellenized by the 4th century BC and thus assimilated. As far as it concerns the Pelasgian Tribes were pre-hellenic and Crete, Thera (Santorini) etc are great examples of early Hellenic History. The "Catalogue of Women" (7th century BC) presents an aitiology for the various tribes of the Greeks (Hellenes), deriving them from Hellen and Pandora, the children of Deukalion and Pyrrha (Πύρρα which in Greek means "red haired" or "fire colored)). Pandora (named after her grandmother Pandora) together with Zeus had three sons: Graecus, Magnetas and Makednos, while Hellen had the three sons Dorus, Xuthus (with his sons Ion and Achaeus) and Aeolos, corresponding to the founders of the seven tribes of the (Boeotian) Graecians, the (Thessalian) Magnetes, the Macedonians, the Dorians, the Ionians, the Achaeans and the Aeolians, respectively. All the following are the most known Hellenic Tribes which inhabited the entire Greek Peninsula, the Islands and most parts of the modern Albania:
LATE STONE AND EARLY BRONZE AGE
Pelasgians
Minoic Cretans
LATE BRONZE AGE (Mycenaean Greece)
*Achaeans/Ahhiyawa
IRON AGE
*Aeolians
**Thessalians
**Magnesians
**Boeotians
***Thebans
*Ionians (Attic-Ionic)
**Athenians
**Euboeans
**Milesians
*Dorians
**Spartans
**Locrians
**Cretans
**Rhodians
**Aetolians
*Arcado-Cypriots
**Arcadians
**Cypriots
*Macedonians;
*Epirotes;
*Thracian Greeks or Aegean Thracians;
*Geloni
THE REST IS THE NEWLY FOUND ALBANIAN NATIONALISM AND PROPAGANDA EVEN IF IT IS FULLY EVIDENT THAT MOST OF TODAY'S ALBANIA HAS GREEK AND NO SO MUCH ILLYRIAN PAST. MANY ALBANIANS ARE EPIROTES WHICH WAS AN ANCIENT GREEK TRIBE. EVEN TODAY, THE SOUTHERN PART OF ALBANIA IS INHABITED BY A GREEK MINORITY WHICH HAS ANCIENT EPIROTE ORIGINS. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED ALBANIA AND GREECE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ONE STATE SINCE THEY HAVE ONE COMMON HISTORY (WHICH ISN'T ALBANIAN BUT EPIROTE).
Skanderbeg’s (Kastriotis) helmet says clearly his titles and separates distingly the Greek tribes (Emathians and Epirotes) from the Albanian ones on its Inscription. The helmet is made of white metal, adorned with a strip dressed in gold. On its top lies the head of a horned goat made of bronze, also dressed in gold. The bottom part bears a copper strip adorned with a monogram separated by rosettes * IN * PE * RA * TO * RE * BT *, which means: Iesus Nazarenus * Principi Emathie * Regi Albaniae * Terrori Osmanorum * Regi Epirotarum * Benedictat Te (Jesus Nazarene Blesses Thee [Skanderbeg], Prince of Emathia (since he was named after Alexander the Great), King of Albania, Terror of the Ottomans, King of Epirus). So we observe that Epirotans and Emathians as Greeks are separately named from Albanians which means that they were 2 different peoples under Kastrioti's rule.

Skenderbeg, Đurađ Kastriot , was an orthodox Serb. His father Jovan was a ruler of Zeta and his mother Vojislava was the from the Branković family.

Its an illyrian dardanian symbol since 3000 years ago

You don't know the history of how adopted this byzantine flag
What nonsense you say😅😅😅
@@Usera2324dfre Byzantine flag was taken from Illyrians. The byzantine king was of the Albanian Origin and not a fake greek
@@Usera2324dfrehe is partially right and so are you, why? Because it was already in the pagans beliefs of Illyrians but it wasn’t among major symbols until it became more important to the point it was adopted because of the Byzantine
Look to the end of the video then you know wjerr we got the eagle from 🤣🤣🤣
Many British historians tells us the same, Albanians were the very 1st people empire on that part of the world. 👏
Lol
The neutral historians say the truth. Then on the other hand are the propaganda machine historians who hide the truth and lie because it doesn’t fit their agenda. The west historians always have been right about Albanians 🇦🇱🦅👐🏼
Pyrrhus was not Illyrian. He was Greek and so was Alexander. Being on the boarder and being royalty you can say that the might have had some Illyrian ancestors but that about it.

Undefeated Undisputed Albanian Heavyweight King Gjergj Kastrioti-Scanderbeg 🇦🇱👑
"There were no noticeable Albanian - speaking communities in the cities of the Albanian coast throughout the Middle Ages. Durrës was inhabited by the Venetians, Greeks, Jews, and Slavs; Shkodra by the Venetians and Slavs; and Vlora by the Byzantine Greeks. Names of towns and rivers in Albania, always a good indicator of settlement patterns, are to a surprising extent Slavic. It is thought that a considerable proportion of the Albanians had already been assimilated by the eve of the Turkish invasion."

Pyrrhus I or Pyrrhus of Epirus (318 BC - 272 BC) was a Greek king of the Molossians, a Greek tribe who lived in Epirus, as well as one of the greatest rulers of the early Hellenistic period.
He was the son of King Aiakides, who ruled from 330 to 313 BC, and Phthia II.
Dude, these are Albanians.... they don't care about history. They are fanatics, lunatics who want to live in their dreams, thus they fabricate their own pseudohistories just like the Skopjans next to them. You need to understand that we talk of a nation that has as its "national hero" Georgios Kastriotis, a Greek from father/grandfather and Serbian from mother, Albanian possibly only from grandma who fought against the muslim Turks..... when 80% of modern Albanians (Albania and Kosovo) are of muslim background and fought against the Christians on every single war including today (e.g. Albanians were the No1 European nationality members of ISIS in Syria). So much respect they have to their "national hero" that when Erdogan, president of Turkey, visited Tirana they had to cover the statue of their national hero in order to not provoke him !!! You can't make that sh*t up!
You are not going to find logic among these people. You are not talking to them, you are talking to their complexes of inferiority.
Lmao typical Greek nationalists. Can't go a day without leaving hateful comments under Albanian history videos 😂
Albania is an autochthonous people that has been fighting for its freedom and independence for centuries against enemies and oppressors of all kinds: the Albanians: Through all the struggles and all the historical upheavals, this people has retained its originality; Neither the migration of peoples nor the battles with Greeks, Serbs, Turks and other conquerors and oppressors were able to prevent the Albanians from maintaining their uniqueness pure and unadulterated in race and language, in customs and manners.
Historian - Hanslörg Frommer
Today only the Albanians, with their independent language, see themselves as descendants of the Illyrians.
Historian -Theodor Mommsen
was a German historian and is considered one of the most important antiquarians of the 19th century. The only Nobel Prize winner for literature. The brave ones from Epirus are the Albanians from antiquity, loyal, courageous traditional people whose flag has always been their eagle.
Karl Kaser - historian
Sees today's Albanians as the descendants of the remaining non-romanized Illyrian population. To support his view, he cites results from Albanian archeology and linguistics
Johann Georg von Hahn
Josef ritter von xylander historian
These two represent the thesis of the autochthonous nature of today's Albanians, which is linked to the Pelasgians
The Albanians have a language completely different from that of the Latins, Greeks and Slavs, so they cannot communicate in any way with other peoples".
Historian - Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer
There is a people on the Illyrian Peninsula whose language, in its structure and core, bears not the slightest resemblance to either Greek, Turkish or the Slavic dialects spoken today in most of south east europe.
@@southepirote7676 Quoting 19th century pseudohistorians and their champion Fallmy won't do you any goood. Albanians are not only the most mixed up group in the Balkans with wide variations in terms of genetics (ranging from Greek-like to Serbian-like) but their language is also a mashup which of course has not a single sign of having even the slightest connection wiith Illyrian. Albanian is clearly a language that arrived in the Balkans pretty much at the same era the Slavic languages arrived.
@@dinos9607 Greeks are genetically a mix of various races such as Turks, Vlachs and Slavs. The ancestors of Greeks are not from Greece but most likely from Bulgaria.
Last October, Council of Europe's mission visited Albania and formed a Center for Ethnic Research in Tirana. In April 2002, the Center delivered a questionnaire of 33 questions to the Albanian population all over the country.
"The results of this research show that about one million or 35% of the total population in the country are members of minorities. This makes Albania a multiethnic state," said the Director of the Center for Ethnic Research in Tirana, Kimet Fetahu.

I just wanted to say I like the way you missed the Selcuk Empire which was a Turkish Empire with a Double Eagle headed flag. Also the moon and crescent that was a symbol of illyium proves that maybe we have deeper routes before the ottomans.
Maybe???????we Albanians have been here before ottomans and so many centuries before them
@@akrepi88la11 Turks did not proceed West after the Successful 1071 Manzikert (Malazgirt) war. If you go further even to the Celts they have Turkish heritage and migrated from Anatolia. Like I said we have deep routes where Turks have travelled far and wide.
@@londonturkishfoodstyle turkish heritage doesn’t exist
Turkish moon and star is not the same one. Yours represent eid mubarak while the Illyrian one is about Sirius star.
@albdrill The Muslims took the moon and the Star from the conquest of the byzantines (particularly constantinople if my memory serves correctly).
Islam originally and for a long time had no symbols, but the ottomans adopted it from either the Greeks during their conquests.
There are also theories that it comes from the Persians, because the sassanids used to mint coins with crescent moons which the islamic empire adopted and used but I think this theory is much weaker.
Have you ever wondered why there are no ancient Illyrian writers?
Why there are only Greek-Roman ancient monuments and temples in Albania and no Illyrian?
Why the modern scientific community and linguists do not find any connection between the Illyrian language and the Albanian language?
Wtf are you saying hahahhaha
Shut up and go back to sleep
The notion of Greeks being ethnically homogenous and direct descendants of the Hellenes has been a persistent narrative, often used to foster a sense of unity and historical continuity. However, a closer examination reveals the complexity and diversity within the Greek population, challenging the simplistic portrayal of ethnic homogeneity and direct lineage from the ancient Hellenes.
To begin with, Greece has been a crossroads of various civilizations throughout history, including interactions with Albanians, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and others. This rich history of cultural exchanges has inevitably left an imprint on the ethnic composition of the region. Genetic studies indicate a diversity of influences, reflecting the historical interactions and migrations that have shaped the genetic makeup of the Greek people. This diversity challenges the notion of a singular, homogeneous ethnic origin.
Moreover, the concept of ethnicity itself is complex and dynamic. It is not solely determined by genetic factors but is also influenced by cultural, linguistic, and historical elements. While the Hellenes were indeed one of the ancient tribes in the region, claiming a direct ethnic lineage from them oversimplifies the intricate processes of cultural assimilation, intermixing, and acculturation that have occurred over centuries.
Language, often considered a key marker of ethnic identity, also presents complexities. The modern Greeks language belongs to the Indo-European family but is distinct within this linguistic group. While it has roots in the Hellenic language, linguistic evolution and influences from Latin, Slavic, and other languages have contributed to its unique character. This linguistic complexity challenges the notion of a straightforward, unbroken linguistic continuity between ancient Hellenic and modern Greek.
Historical records further complicate the narrative of ethnic homogeneity. The region has witnessed migrations, invasions, and changes in political control, all of which have contributed to the diversity within the Greek population. The medieval period, for example, saw the influx of various groups, including Slavs and Normans, leaving lasting cultural and genetic impacts.
In conclusion, the idea of Greeks being ethnically homogenous and direct descendants of the Hellenes is a simplistic narrative that does not fully capture the complexity of Greece's history and the diversity within its population. Genetic, linguistic, and historical evidence points to a more nuanced and multifaceted reality, highlighting the need to approach the question of Greek identity with a recognition of the intricate processes of cultural evolution and interaction that have shaped the region over millennia.

It is scientifically documented that at least 3700 years ago in the Greek peninsula there was a presence of people who spoke the Greek language and had common customs and traditions. These people were named by various ancient Greek writers as :
1.Graekoi (considered the older name ruclips.net/video/aQJ2tpcZQ8U/видео.html )
2.Achaeans
3.Argives
4.Danaans
5.Hellenes
6.Dorians

8.Ionians.
All these tribes made up the Greek ethnos .Ethnos from verb "ἔθω" meaning custom ,morality.LIDDELL & SCOTT dictionary.
Notice the difference of the word ethnos and the word nation.Naton , from Latin "natio" meaning birth ,a common racist genetic origin.
Even today the Epirotans ,Macedonians,Arvanite ,sud Thracians,Thessalians,Cretans ,Pontic,Peloponesians, Cypriots made up the Greek ethnos.All of them have Greek consciousness.

@@wardafournello the Greek language was dominant at that time and was often used to communicate with other people who belonged to other nations. It was same as English is used today. That doesn’t mean that Illyrians didn’t have their own language. They had a language, their own culture and civilization, their own kings and queens, etc.
As for the connection of the language, all languages evolve with time, but linguistics say Albanian language is the closest one to the Messapic and Illyrian. Many names, places, names of the Illyrian kings and queens have a meaning in Albanian language. Most of the proof is destroyed or stolen intentionally. Some are destroyed during strong earthquakes in the area and by the non ending wars in this area. Illyrians and Albanians have been in constant battles and wars with other nations for as long as it can be said. Albania 🇦🇱 only after the World War Two didn’t have any wars.
