Historical Warfare : The Illyrian Warrior

  • Although famed for their naval prowess, the Illyrians were also famed warriors. As a result of centuries of tribal warfare, Illyrian weapons and armour became highly advance and would prove to be highly effective when in combat against their neighbours.
    Despite having a highly advanced warrior culture, Breast armour was very rare. A type of breast armour made from a bronze plate is known to have been in use in Northern Illyria, however all date to before 500 BC. Other Illyrians did also use breast armour, but this was sparing and sometimes, in the case of Glasinac Illyrians, stretching the definitions of what classes as Breast armour. The Glasinacs version of breast armour was simply a jacket made of cloth or leather with parts made from bronze. However, the more common type of breast armour was a simple disc-shaped breastplate of around 10 cms in diameter.
    Another type of armour used by the Illyrians was Bronze Greaves. It is likely that before using bronze, the Illyrians used leather greaves, however, nothing is known about this armour. Bronze Greaves first appeared among the Illyrians in southern Illyria during the 7th century BC. Greaves, however, were commonly only used by wealthy warriors and were often highly decorated.
    In terms of helmets, the most popular and widespread helmet was the Illyrian helmet. Despite being labelled the Illyrian helmet, the helmet actually originated in Ancient Greece, only being called the Illyrian helmet as early finds of this helmet were from the Illyria region. This helmet provided good protection, utilizing strong cheek guards as well as two ridges at the top of the helmet to deflect blows. However, unlike a majority of greek helmets, the Illyrian helmet did not hamper vision, however, the warriors hearing was severely impaired when wearing it. Eventually, this helmet was used by not just the Illyrian and Greeks, but also the Etruscans and Scythians.
    The most common type of shields utilized by the Illyrians was a circular shield, however, northern Illyrians often used an oval or rectangular shield. This shield was often small and was decorated with embedded circles and semicircles on the sides. The oval shield used by the northern Illyrians was most likely a shield that the Illyrians borrowed from the celts when the Celts invaded the Balkans in the 4th-3rd centuries. This shield was made out of wood and was held via a handle in the inside of a strong metal boss in the centre of the shield.
    Illyrians primarily used a short single-edged curved sword called the Sica. The Sica was developed during the bronze age and was based on an ancient Greek design. This sword was originally a curved sword with a blade about 16-18 inches long. This sword was designed to get around an opponents shield in order to slash or stab him in the back. Despite this sword being used largely in the Balkans, the Romans regarded this sword as being distinctly Illyrian. Spears were also commonly used by the Illyrians.

    The coolest bit of Illyrian warfare happened in hoplite formations. They would put the best armored guys in the front ranks and the ones behind them would push with all their might to topple them along with their enemies. After which they'd run in to exploit the resulting gaps in the formation.

    Hey man,
    Another great video! Always enjoy these - I love that you are putting more small details (for example the boats), it makes your movies much more natural and natural. I also enjoy the violin piece you added to the background music, although it is still quite repetitive and a bit loud. Maybe just find a public domain piece of music? Finally, when you mention a tribe or something, maybe show a quick map so we get an idea of where they were based? I had no idea who the Illyrians were until this video and had to google it to get an idea.
    I look forward to more man and I wish you Happy Holidays!

      Ridiculous,Albanians came from middle Asia in 12,13th century..Serbian people are the oldest living nation in Balkans peninsula,or Helm peninsula how Serbs used to call it before Turks brought ,,Balkan" to use.
      All the other nations,except Greece were made sistematically by Catholic church as a plan to push Slavic people more to east,this is not a plan from yesterday,it lasts for many hundreds of years,this is how they made Croats(once Serbs),change their fate for a few sacks of wheat,or barley.
      Albanians however came with Turkish empire,they brought many diffrent people from around their empire to it's borders in order to fill the gaps when they started retreating from Balkan's.
      This is where Turks found use for Albanians,they gave them instructions on how to pillage and burn Serbian villages from early arrivings to Balkan's,and for doing their part of bargain they got themselves a place to live.
      Since then poor Albanian people have been used,and manipulated for causes of great colonial empires such as Italy,Austro-Hungarian empire,Germans(ww2),and nowdays Americans.
      Fact that Americans have the biggest military base on nowdays self proclaimed Kosovo confirmsmy words.

      @The One And Only The short answer is: The Albanian language shows ties to the Messapic language, and the Messapians were an Illyrian tribe that inhabited Apulia since the 8. Century BC.
      Albanian genetics are, like Greeks, 80-90% Paleobalkanic (consisting of E-V13, J2b and R1b mainly) which means Albanians were in the Balkans since the Bronze age. Since Albanians do not speak Greek they must descend from the non-Greek population of the ancient Balkans (Illyrians or Daco-Thracians).
      The Albanian language shows significant Republican Era Latin loanwords making up 30-40% of the Albanian vocabulary. This means Albanians had significant contact to the Romans that invaded the Balkans since 150BC for centuries. Albanians were in the Balkans when Romans started invading. Serbs or Slavs dont have any Roman loanwords. Also, there are Doric Greek loanwords in Albanian from 600BC. Which can only have been the result of contact between ancient Greeks and early Albanians/Illyrians in todays Albania (in Apollonia, Durres, Laissus etc.).
      Albanian culture and mythology is heavily based on Illyrian culture and religion. Albanians, until today, use the name of the highest Illyrian god, 'Perëndi', as the word for 'God'. The days Thursday (e enjte) and Friday (e premte) in Albanian are named after the Illyrian Gods Enji and Prende. Albanians were the Illyrian cap 'Pilis' until today (called Plis) and worship the sun in ceremonies (Albanian fire ceremonies).

      @The One And Only The short answer is: The Albanian language shows ties to the Messapic language, and the Messapians were an Illyrian tribe that inhabited Apulia since the 8. Century BC.
      Albanian genetics are, like Greeks, 80-90% Paleobalkanic (consisting of E-V13, J2b and R1b mainly) which means Albanians were in the Balkans since the Bronze age. Since Albanians do not speak Greek they must descend from the non-Greek population of the ancient Balkans (Illyrians or Daco-Thracians).
      The Albanian language shows significant Republican Era Latin loanwords making up 30-40% of the Albanian vocabulary. This means Albanians had significant contact to the Romans that invaded the Balkans since 150BC for centuries. Albanians were in the Balkans when Romans started invading. Serbs or Slavs dont have any Roman loanwords. Also, there are Doric Greek loanwords in Albanian from 600BC. Which can only have been the result of contact between ancient Greeks and early Albanians/Illyrians in todays Albania (in Apollonia, Durres, Laissus etc.).
      Albanian culture and mythology is heavily based on Illyrian culture and religion. Albanians, until today, use the name of the highest Illyrian god, 'Perëndi', as the word for 'God'. The days Thursday (e enjte) and Friday (e premte) in Albanian are named after the Illyrian Gods Enji and Prende. Albanians were the Illyrian cap 'Pilis' until today (called Plis) and worship the sun in ceremonies (Albanian fire ceremonies).

    Some facts you maybe need to know for Illyria, :)!
    1. Pirro, known as the King of Epirus, was Illyrian, he came from an ethnic Illyrian Family, near the Skodra Province.
    2. Albanian and Illyrian languages are the pretty common, only some letters change positions.
    3. Many Albanians tested their DNA that prooved they come from ethnic Albanian lands.
    4. Dardania, a Kingdom that used to be in Kosovo and Albania, was populated by Illyrians, but the problem is that they weren't united somehow.
    5. Illyria had an massive power, they got invaded by Rome in 229 BC - 219 BC, the problem is that the Generals holding provinces in Southern Italy changed side, and joined Rome.
    6. Illyria's flag had a ship in it. So they weren't "massively" known for Ground Force, Dardania was, they had the best calvary divisions on that era.
    7. Many Illyrian names are used today in Albania, like Agron, Teuta etc.
    8. Skanderbeg, the hero of Albania in 15th Century, claimed that Albanians came from Pirro and Illyrian Kingdom.
    9. Alexander was Illyrian, his mother came from an Illyrian family, that is a reason why he had no interests in invading Illyria and decided to conquer Greeks and other kingdoms.
    10. Slavs have nothing to do with Alexander or anyone else, Slavs came in 6th century to Balkans, 900 years after Alexander the Great died, so I'm asking this once, how stupid peoples are you Serbians?
    Edit: By the way Alexander's name in Albanian means Born like a dream, (I know this doesn't make much sense, but in Albanian does) "lind si ander" and also in Illyria, they wrote the alphabet in the other way, example in Albanian is "Ai" means He, in Illyrian it was "iA".

      raspoutin didn’t Albanians used to call their country and exonym “arbaresh” or “arvantika” which derives from the southern Illyrian tribe called the “albanoi” or “albani” which is why Albanians in Greece and Albanians in Italy call themselves that since Albanians called themselves that before calling themselves “shqiptar” during the migration outside of the Balkans due to ottoman invasion. Also, the theory that Albanians come from the Azerbaijan has already been disproven. Same names called “Albania” but completely different people. I’m not Albanians nor Serb but I feel like there’s already many evidence that Albanians are an Illyrian people. Their name “Albania” “arbareshe” and “arvantika” derives from the southern Illyrian tribe called the “albanoi” which was found in the middle of modern day Albania and they had a city called “albanopolis”

    To everyone interested. The igenea dnk analysis showed that the Herzegovinians have among the highest Illyrian components, up to 70%. Bosniaks are descendants of the Illyrians, Celts and Goths. There are probably no longer ethnically pure Illyrians. I respect the Albanians very much, but do not forget that not only your region belonged to Illyria and not only your region was populated by Illyrian tribes. The entire region of the Dinarid Mountains was populated by Illyrian tribes. Just because we no longer speak the language, these facts cannot be ignored. Illyrian descendants are also Dalmatians, Montenegrins, Bosnians and Herzegovinians. I very much hope that historians will focus more on this topic in the future. It is a shame that in the old museum in Berlin, the map with the oldest peoples in Europe ignores the whole Balkans and it is empty. best regards

  • @avitiusrufinus6980
    @avitiusrufinus6980 3 года назад +5

    Albanians and illyrians is just synonyms.
    Proof of the Illyrian-Pelasgian origin of Albanians is provided by the study of the Albanian language. Despite some points of similarity in structure and phonetics, the Albanian language is entirely distinct from the languages ​​spoken by neighboring natonalities. This language is particularly interesting as the only surviving representative of the alleged Thraco-Illyrian group of languages, which formed the primitive discourse of the inhabitants of the Balkan Peninsula. However, great difficulties, as, owing to the absence of the first literary monuments, no certainty can be reached regarding its previous forms and subsequent events. Eventually the Albanian language was permeated by a large number of foreign words, mainly from ancient Greek or Latin, which is younger than the Albanian language, but there is some indication that the early Illyrian language manifested some degree of influence on the grammatical development of the languages ​​now spoken in the Balkan Peninsula.
    There is, however, one very striking peculiarity in this entire question: that the Albanian language allows a reasonable explanation of the meaning of the names of ancient Greek Gods as well as the rest of the mythological creations. The explanations are so convincing to confirm the opinion that ancient Greek mythology had been borrowed, in its entirety, from the Illyrian-Pelasgians. As it was mentioned before, Zeus survives as "Zot" in the Albanian language. The invocation of his name is the common form of oath among modern Albanians. Athena (Latin Minerva), the goddess of wisdom as expressed in speech, should obviously derive its derivation from the Albanian "E Thëna," which means "simply speech". Thetis, the goddess of waters and seas, would seem to be only Albanian "Det" which means "the sea". It would be interesting to note that the word "Ulysses", if in its Latin or Greek form "Odysseus", means "the traveler" in the Albanian language, according to like the word "udhë", that stands for "the route "and" the journey ", is written with" d "or" l ", both forms being in use in Albania. Such examples can be provided ad libitum (libitum). No such facility is, however, permitted by the ancient Greek language, unless the explanation is an obligatory and distorted one; but in many cases even a mandatory and distorted so is not available at all.
    Moreover, we must not forget the fact that Zeus was God Pelasgian par excellence, his original religious building being Dodona.
    proof that we are Illyrians. The queen who reigned in the Balkans was called Teuta and this is a 1000% Albanian name and the country illir means free. Proof that we are also the ancient Greeks:
    out of 2
    Examples of names of gods and
    deities
    prehellenic
    derived from Albanian
    -
    pelasgic.
    Apart from any prejudice, the etymology of names which we are going to present here, conforms
    strictly to an interpretation based on the conn
    growth of ancient languages, and especially of the
    Albanian. The only one to give the correct meaning to the names of certain gods, considered Greek without being
    never such. The examples which have just been presented here, confirm the importance of the langu
    Albanian
    as a language which can give a reasoned answer to the questions of pre-Hellenic paleography, where
    the names of the gods Pelasgians had been Greekized and pronounced without being able to give them an interpretation
    valid. Follow the etymolog below
    ie appropriation of the names of the gods through the Albanian language.
    Rhea.
    Zeus' mother was Rhea, which derives from the Albanian word "
    re
    ”, And means cloud. What can give birth
    the cloud, if not the storm, lightning and thunder? So the mighty voice of the cloud sky
    them from the Universe, the
    voice = zë or za, hence the Ze (us) = (the Voice), in Albanian Zot (God).
    Ze
    us derives from the Albanian "za or ze" = voice. Thunder is the voice of God, it is
    Ze
    (us) = Ze
    -
    Za = the
    Voice,
    Zot
    (the God) of the Albanians.
    Athena
    in albanian
    Athin
    at
    : this name derives from the Albanian "e thena" = to say, in the sense of the Word, the Word
    of God, hence the goddess of wisdom. Another Albanian etymology of
    Athina
    =
    Ati
    (father) +
    n / A
    (mother),
    hence the protective goddess, Athina (father
    -
    mother) in this sense.

    Why every thing should have origin in Greece? Wasn't possible for the illyrians to invent them by themselves? Maybe it was the other way around. Maybe the Greek copied the illyrian helmet. The illyrian helmet didn't have a padding but the Greek one had. The reason is simple. The illyrians wore the padding all the time it was and is still called qeleshe. The Greek version needed improvement because the Greeks don't use qeleshe on their daily routine. Since the earliest items were found in illyrian territories I think the Greeks saw a good idea and as usual stole it and proclaimed as their invention. I'm just saying.
