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.
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.
@@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.
@@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 As in archeological? Lingusitic? Writtten? Because you have none of those. The fact is Iyrians over the years assimilated with Greeks, Romans, Slavs, and everyone else who entered the region. That's where they went. Saying that one nation that first appears in written records in the 11th century. (some others appear in 7th) "descends" from someone who isn't mentioned for centuries is just plain stupid.
the slavs has arrived in Illyricum after 6'th sentury, of course a lot of them are half slavs and half illyrians....like in Croatia, in Bosnia or even in Slovenia.
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.
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.
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.
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 🪞 *A Phoenix **_Cypher_*
Fun fact : Taulant ,Dardan, illir, Ardian and Agron are still common Albanian male names Fun fact #2 : The 90 year old Dardanian leader Bardylis (Bardhyll) means "white star" in Albanian

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
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.

@@shkronjax we need to move thinking from halpogroup and focus on fenotypes. In former Yugoslavia there are also R1a and R1b, not to mention I2 to be among other european nations which are not connected with Ilyrians. People mixed, even if someone is carrying R1a on Balkans, can have more mixes with Ilyrians.
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.
Thank you for making a documentary about Ilirians. Albanians are the only remaining authoctonous peoples group that still have preserved and use the Ilirian language customs and Names, although Ilyrian DNA is to be found from Croatia all the way to Northern Greece (Epirus). Ilir ( i lirë) in Albanian means free, referring to the free tribes inhabiting the whole Ilirian peninsula ( the concept of the Balkan Peninsula was created much later by a big blunder of the German geographer August Zeune in 1808, Balkan means 'chain of wooded mountains in Turkish). Albanians still use names as Agron, Teuta, Genti, Taulant, Afërdita, Adri-an/atik to name their children and this practice it is common. For example: the name Bardhyli ( king of Dardania, (Kosova region) means White star ( bardh-white; yll-star), many other names can be explained or broken down in their meaning by Ilyrian-Albanian embryomorphemes. Even the name of Dua Lipa has a meaning (dua - want/wish or love)
Genetic testing has shown that Croats living along along the Dinaric Alps (both sides of the Croatia and Bosnia border) have up to 71% Illyrian DNA. Genetically, northern Albanians have about 20% Illyrian DNA and even less in the south.
@@libertas5552 This isn't quite right. Genetically speaking, Bosniaks and Croatians have the least Paleo-Balkan DNA compared to other Balkan populations from the former Yugoslavia. The groups with the most Paleo-Balkan ancestry are Kosovo-Albanians, followed by North Macedonians, Bulgarians, and Romanians/Serbs. I’ve looked at a PCA plot comparing ancient Bronze Age populations from Albania with modern Albanians. The plot shows that Bronze Age Albanians were quite similar to their counterparts in Bronze Age Croatia, which suggests that people from Albania up to Croatia were probably Illyrians. When I compared these samples to medieval Albanian populations, the PCA plot showed medieval Albanians were notably closer to Greeks and Thracians than the samples from Bronze Age Albania. This points to a mix between Illyrians and Greeks/Thracians over time. Comparing medieval Albanians to modern Albanians, there’s a noticeable shift towards Slavs. The origins of the Albanian language are still uncertain, as the Illyrians were likely Latinized by then. It’s unlikely Albanian directly comes from Illyrian. The most convincing theory is that Albanian descended from a population in what is now Serbia, known as Moesians. This means that while Albanians mixed with ancient locals in Albania, who were definitely Illyrian, their linguistic roots are probably tied to ancient Moesia Superior and Dardania in today’s Serbia, who were most likely some variation of Thracian.
@@All-f5m Not really. What I'm saying is that Albanians today are pretty much mixed up with between Thracians, Illyrians and Greeks, the average Albanian doesn't resemble the average Illyrian, however their Paleo Balkan ancestry is still very high, while Croats for example are barely Paleo Balkan.
They say there is no proof of connection between Illyrians and Albanians, but yet you see the transition of different names through different eras, Enchelei ...and then Taulanti... and then Parthini and Dassareti... and then Ardiei and Epirus... and then Epirus... and then in smaller tribes such as Albanoi, with Dardania always on the map through the history...AND THEN, WHEN IT BECOMES ALBANIA everybody becomes like "NO NO NO, THERE IS NO CONNECTION, THERE IS NO RECORD WRITTEN ", it is all written as it was all the rest and there is no written Illyrian language as it was not with all the rest. You guys are funny😂🤣🤣
ilyria used the modern greek alphabet then the albanians transition into latin and changed it a bit plus it was pretty hard to get a alphabet when half your country was in chaos or working for the peeson you are going to fight
@@reiu-xl1ib hahahahahah! Send me an illyrian inscription with Greek letters... hahahahahaaah!!!! They are all Greeks with greek language!!! All of them were written with Greek language. Illyrians didn't have written language!!! There are no Illyrian texts. Traces of the language survive indirectly in a small number of glosses recorded by Greek and Roman authors, as well as in Illyrian personal and place names found in Greek and Latin literature and epigraphy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The term "Ilyr" literally translates to "free" or "free people" in Albanian (Ilir) yet there are willfully ignorant people who still deny Albanian is descended from Ilyrian language. Another fun fact Albanians refer to themselves as Shqiptar which literally means eagle people. The eagle in Albania symbolizes freedom and it's perhaps the largest symbol that represents Albanians as they constantly had to fight for their freedom for literal thousands of years while living between some of the strongest and largest ancient empires in known in history. Yet fucking slavs still have the gall and sheer stupidity to deny all of this in the most ignorant ways (looking at your serbs)
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.
@@mimorisenpai8540 Yes but Stilicho wanted ALL of Illyricum which also includes lands in modern day Albania & Serbia. Which was in Eastern hands after 395AD.

Nope 👎 your wrong 😑 The theory that modern Albanians are direct descendants of ancient Illyrians has been debunked by genetic studies. According to a study published in the journal "European Journal of Human Genetics" in 2012, modern Albanians have significant genetic input from populations outside the Balkans, particularly from Slavic and Greek populations. [Source: "The genetic legacy of the expansion of Turkic-speaking nomads across Eurasia" - European Journal of Human Genetics, 2012]

Illyrians words have meanings only in the Albanian Andena/Andes/Andio/Antis - personal Illyrian names based on a root and- or ant-, found in both the southern and the Dalmatian-Pannonian (including modern Bosnia and Herzegovina) onomastic provinces; cf.

To make a documentary about the Illyrians, and not having the courage to elaborate on their direct descendants until our days, is an intellectual weakness and a superficial approach to the issue. It is unprofessional to include their heirs in just one sentence, "as a result of modern nationalist movements"! - Sometimes there is one kind of defensive nationalism that can simultaneously be based on some scientific truth. Is there proof that Albanians are the descendants of the ancient Illyrians? Yes, there is proof: 1: Albanian has words from the ancient Doric dialect. Why is this proof? Well, Doric‐Greek went extinct 2000 years ago, meaning that those words, even if they are loanwords must have entered at least 2000 years ago. This proves that Albanians must have lived close to Dorians (or the Dorians themselves were part of their Illyrian origin). 2: The Albanian vocabulary consists of a high percentage of Latin (Vulgar) loanwords. Meaning that Albanians must have lived in, or close to a place where Latin (Vulgar) was spoken. 3: We do actually have some remnants of the Illyrian language. I introduce Messapic: Messapic inscriptions. Messapic was an Illyrian dialect and it does show simulaties only with Albanian. 4: Albanians (or Arbanians) were first mentioned by Hecataeus of Miletus (550-476 BCE) under the name Abroi (Ἄβροι), Arboi, Abros (since 6th century BCE, in fragment 69 of Periodos ges, cited by Stephanus of Byzantium in 6th century CE). The name of the tribe is recorded in Ancient Greek as Abroi. But Ptolemy (egyptian astronomer, mathematician, and geographer) is the first authors who mentions them under the name Albanoi, in 150AD (2nd century CE), in his geography he cites the "Albanoi" as an Illyrian tribe living in Albanopolis, Macedonia (now central Albania). From a single tribe the name spread to include the rest of the country as Arbëri and, finally, Albania. The archaeological site of Zgërdhesh, thought to be the site of the ancient city of Albanopolis, city of the Illyrian Albanoi tribe. It's a huge site, with well preserved walls & towers, & the remains of stepped 'streets' cut from the rock. 5: Those few language elements which are known as Illyrian can be explained through the Albanian language, and no other. Linguists point out many technical similarities between Illyrian and Albanian words. Illyrian toponyms, ancient Illyrian place names for cities, rivers, and mountains, are preserved today in the Albanian language, and only in Albanian. The names of Balkan villages usually lasted only a few centuries, for villages were often destroyed altogether during wartime. Cities lasted longer, so their names were usually older. But rivers, lakes and mountains endured through the centuries, and their ancient names usually continued in use. Even new inhabitants usually adopted the old names, just as American colonists adopted many old Indian place names in the United States. Accordingly, Albanian linguists have found more than 300 names of ancient cities like Shkodra, rivers like the Drin and mountains like Tomor which were mentioned by ancient Greek and Roman geographers or historians and which are still in use in Albania. Scholars show how the rules of historical phonetics explain any changes of spelling over the centuries from Illyrian to Albanian, as Scupi to Shkup, Scodra to Shkodra, Lissus to Lezha, Durrachium to Durrës, Drinus to Drin, Mathis to Mat. Certainly the Albanian language is derived from the Illyrian (Cabej 1985, 42-62). Illyrian proper names continue in use among present-day Albanians. Many of the individual Illyrian names of persons were preserved on epitaphs and inscriptions on coins. Then the names of other people like the Illyrian rulers Agron and Teuta were mentioned by Greek or Roman historians. The Albanian scholar Mahri Domi have identified 800 of these (Liria 15 October 1982; 1 November 1983). The numerous marine terms for sea plants and animals in the Albanian language show that these people lived along the coast on what would correspond with Illyrian territory (AT 1983, 1:44-45). Then there are other words in Albanian which Greek or Roman writers long ago explicitly identified as Illyrian in origin. Down through the centuries many once great peoples have been either destroyed or assimilated by others so as to disappear altogether. But the Illyrian people with their distinctive dress, music, customs and especially their language have persisted in their shrinking territory along the western shore of the Balkan Peninsula. With no record or tradition even hinting at their extermination or assimilation or migration, one can only assume their unbroken historical continuity. There seems to be no question but that the present-day Albanians are the historically uninterrupted descendants of the lllyrians who were known to have inhabited that same region in early Greek and Roman times. 6. The latest genetic (DNA) data prove the same scientific theory, that today's Albanians are direct heirs of the Illyrians, Illyro-Thracians, or this paleo-Balkan people. Read more: rrenjet.com/the-albanian-dna-project-rrenjet/ - Although historical logic places the burden of proof on those who oppose the direct lineage of the Illyrians to the Albanians (if they can find evidence to the contrary, let them present those), however, even though the Illyrians have left little data, we can still prove this continuity.
There was no written ethnic language in the ancient time. Albanian is a hearth language, a vernacular one. Still, their written language used to be their religious languages Latin and Greek, because Latin and Greek are NOT ethnic languages, but Sacred ones. The written language has always been an attribute of the religion because it has been created for liturgy. This is the simple reason, you don’t find and you will never find in the future, any Albanian inscription, or Thracian one, or Illyrian one, Epirotic one, or Macedonian one, you always will find them in “Greek” or “Latin” the languages of their religion. Info + Illyrians predated Slavs in the Balkans. Greeks and Illyrians have in common both being directly Yamnayan language (in addition to that remaining pre-Indo-European Neolithic incorporated into the Indo-European identity) which only Albanian, Greek, and Armenian are today. Otherwise, many orthodox Albanians from the north and east ethnic regions of Albanians, were assimilated into south Slavic identities (such as Serb, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, and Bulgarian/Macedonian; also the many other orthodox Albanians of the south region, were assimilated into the new Greek identity. This is a percentage of these south Slavics of today and Greeks of today, who have some Illyrian DNA (through assimilated Albanians). The latest genetic (DNA) data prove the same scientific theory: today's Albanians are direct heirs of the Illyrians, Illyro-Thracians, or this paleo-Balkan people.

If anything Albanian shows extreme degree of latin influence, while Greek and Slavic are distinct enough to be entire language families with various dialects spanning large territories. Various words from the Thracian language have been recorded in 6th BC, the people who were the second most numerous of all and inhabiting most of the Balkans according to Herodotus, and linguists say with certainty that the Albanian language has no relation with the paleo-balkan Thracian language following a thorough comparative analysis of structure and vocabulary.

It was used by Arvanites in Greece. In Greek, Illyria is no word. However, in Albanian Ilir, it means a free person. It is not our fault that history was written the way the Greek liked.

It's still unknown, who knows Illyrians might have connections with Italo-Celtic group or same group family with Greeks, Albanians, Armenians, Thracians and Dacians (Paleo Balkanite)!
@@horizongtrx1417Aside from genetic connections (ev-13 gene) with the Illyrians there are many others, both in etymology and in culture, I'll name a few as examples, first and foremost we have the "plis" (pileus) hat worn by ancient Paleo-Balkanic people it is an integral part of the Albanian folk costume, after that we also have the "fustanella" it's origin is sort of disputed but all theories support an ancient origin as these types of skirts were very common in Ancient Greece, Illyria and even Rome, on top of that we also have the "xhubleta" it too has an ancient origin. Moving on from clothing, we have the Albanian Iso-polyphony a very rare type of singing which is also under protection of UNESCO, thought to originate from Illyrians a similar type of singing can also be found among Croats from Herzegovina and is called "ojkanje" (or ganga). We also have the Pyrrhic dance of Rugova. Then the tribal system which appeared in Albania during the middle ages, it was inherited from ancient Illyrian social structures. Then we have "Gjama e burrave", men's lamentation of the dead or just Gjama in the south performed by women, you can look up the videos of gjama and then I'd recommend reading "Achilles lamenting the death of Patroclus", you'll find striking similarities, almost identical. On top of that we have the Dita e Verës (days of summer) which connect back to Illyrian worship of the sun, along with zjarret e vitit, bonefires which are lit on the summer day, I can continue on this connection but the comment will be too long. In Byzantine literature, references to Illyria as a defined region in administrative terms end after 1204 and the term specifically began to refer only to the more confined Albanian territory. in the acts of the Second Council of Nicaea from 787, Nikephoros of Durrës signed himself as "Episcopus of Durrës, province of the Illyrians". After all of that we have etymological proof, as I've already mentioned "plis", referring to the pileus, then "thika" meaning knife/blade in modern Albanian, as you may know the most famous sword Illyrians used was the "sica", after that we have "shpata" derived from the Ancient Greek/Roman "spatha", then we have Illyrian toponyms (connected mostly to animals and plants as part of Illyrian naming tradition), dardhë (pear) - Dardania; delmë (sheep) - Delmatae (later Dalmatia); dallëndyshe/tallandushe (swallow bird) - Taulantii. The fact that the majority of loan words in Albanian are from Latin and that there's a good number of rare ancient Greek loan words should also tell you something. If you want me to I can name over 15 historians/scientists who support the Illyrian thesis, even the university of Belgrade (subject Balkanology) offers three possible origins of Albanians, Illyrian, Thracian and Dacian.
The truth hurts, but the truth is that Albanians are of Iliro-Pellasian origin. Europe and Russia, because it is more of a face, try to make the slave peoples more local, but the slave peoples came from Russia@..!! And as for religion, we Albanians were Catholic 2 thousand years ago, but the Ottoman Empire turned us into Muslims with violence, and when we had Civilization, today's Europeans lived in CAVES.🫡👐 🇦🇱🦅
Illyrian in Albanian means "Free people" and Illyria " Land of the free people". Many of their king names translate in Albanian etc. I believe some of these races such as Taulantii, Dardanii are the today Albanians. As for their language it is a shame that we do not have much evidence but my assumptions is that it was not much different from the spoken Albanian language of 12th century. Albanian term "appeared" after the disappearance of the Illyrian term which makes sense since they are a continuity of them.
Albanian language is mix of Latin/Ottoman/Greek and some pre Slavic ones! So it doesn’t mean NOTHING in Albanian, it means that Albanian has elements of other languages that match that

@Johnny-pk3iq My friend, the truth may take time but will come out. Illyrian-Albanian connection is there for people who want to see it. Some never will see it. There are facts from Roman, Byzantine, and the Othman Empire. There are lots of books in the Vatican, too.
French priest 1332: 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.

@@gertjandardabellainfinityal At the same time, unfortunately, the admin deletes constructive comments that show the connection between Illyrians and Albanians.
Albanians are the only ethno-linguistic descendants of the Illyrians. It is accepted that the Albanian language descends from Illyrian or an Illyrian dialect. Fun fact: the name "Molossi", the tribe to which Pyrrhus and Alexander the Great's mother belonged to has an Albanian etymology (origin). This is an indication the Pyrrhus of Epirus and Alexander the Great's mother were Illyrian/Albanian.
The Shqiptare are the most brainwashed of all the Balkan peoples. A modern nation created in 1912 of people brought in from the caucuses and created from converts to Islam and the treacherous fleeing communists who were turned into "Illyrians" by the communist Hoxha to claim land. The connections are all fabricated or exist from the converts they absorbed.
Just theories. According to modern scholars Albanian probably descents from Dacro-Thracian rather then Illyrian at least linguistically. Also Mollosians were a confirmed Greek tribe and not part of the the Illyrians.Firstly they participated in Olympic Games, secondly there are many inscriptions written in their Greek northwestern dialect (mostly found at Dodona) and last they had Greek costumes-religion.
@@most_wanted_gsxr4221 According to the majority of modern linguists, Albanian descends from Illyrian or an Illyrian dialect. They use the following arguments for their conclusion. There are toponyms in the Balkans that have acquired their modern form following proto-Albanian phonetic rules. Example: Naissus became Nish following proto-Albanian phonetic rules. Astibos became Shtip. Aulona became Vlonë and then Vlorë following proto-Albanian phonetic rules. This means that proto-Albanian was spoken in these regions (where the Illyrians lived). There are also toponyms, ethnonyms and anthroponyms which have an Albanian etymology. Example: Dardania originates from proto-Albanian "darda" (pear). The Illyrian name Bardylis originates from proto-Albanian "bardza". The Albanian word "thikë" (knife) is believed to have originated from the Illyrian "sica" (short dagger). I could go on and on. As for the "Molossi" having an Albanian etymology, you don't have to take my word for it. Look up the etymology of the Albanian word "Malësi" (highland). It is related to the ancient tribe of the Molossi. Malësi comes from the word "Mal" meaning "Mountain". The Albanian word "mal" is believed to have originated from Illyrian "mol-on". That means that the etymology of "Molossi" is Illyrian/Albanian and that is an indication that the Molossi were Illyrian/Albanian. The last name "Malushi" is common among Albanians which is very close phonetically to "Molossi". Considering that Pyrrhus was adopted and raised by the Illyrian king Glaukus this makes all the more sense. There is no doubt that the Albanians are the ethno-linguistic descendants of the Illyrians and the Illyrians were much more influential than they would have us believe. Only Greeks and Slavs deny this truth. But the truth is difficult to hide.

As a Greek seeing the comment section makes me laugh. Abanians say we are the Illyrians/ Pelasgoi from 8000 BC. Slavs saying we are the Illyrians because the term slav is a later term and we just returned where we belonged or at least assimilated the Illyrians 400-500 years before the Albanians appear in history. Probably none of this is true or very little is true. Lets stick to facts and what we know from historic texts, archaeology or linguistics. We don't know what Illyrian language sounded like or any actual vocabulary. We don't know what happened to Illyrians almost 1000 years since the Albanians and Albanian language appeared on the map. We don't know who assimilated who and when. Are albanians sons of Celts, Romans, Greeks, Slavs, Illyrians, Turks, Huns??? Are they a mix of them all? We just don't know. I'd be more than happy to find out that Albanians are our ancient cousins, but we just don't know. There is no historical continuity and this puzzles all the experts in the field. Of course the common people can believe whatever theory makes them feel better about their identity, but science is science and does not have feelings
The truth is that Illyrians did exist and they didn't just vanish out of thin air. There are also records that some Illyrian tribes sided with some ancient Greek tribes in many many wars (usually as mercenaries) to bolster their numbers against invaders but they mostly fought eachother because Spartans just hated Athenians. Greece was not united back then and you could also kinda say the same for the Illyrians as there were records of multiple kings in Illyria at the same time which indicates multiple distinct (countries?) that did not agree a lot. It's hard to say that Albanians are 100% Illyrians but also impossible to say that they are not. In a sense you can say that Greeks and Illyrians (at least the southern part of ancient Illyria) were kind of the same people since there were archeological findings of coins which were written in Greek so being cousins with them is not a far fetched idea.
The Celts, Huns, Slavs, Greeks, Turkish, all the races that came to the Balkan are recorded. But where did the Albanian language come from? The Albanian language has no relation to any of them. The Albanian language is established from scholars as one of the oldest languages. Where did the present day Albanians learn this language if it’s not passed down from generations?
@@chefjbr Ok but you can't prove that it comes from the Illyrian language. Why not Thracian or Dacian or Paeonian, which are also languages spoken back then, but not written anywhere.

Why in whole Albania or Kossovo can't we find a single ancient epigraph that resembles Albanian languange, even with a latin or Greek alphabet?

@@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.

I will post this again and again... I will speak about the Illyrians and the Greeks so you can learn a bit of history. I will refer to ancient Greek historians and geographers who lived in that era with the Illyrians and documented it. Apollodorus tells us that Illyrios was the son of Cadmus and Harmonia. Illyrios' siblings were Semele, Polydorus, Autonoe, Agave, and Ino. EXTREMELY GREEK NAMES!!! Illyrios had the following children: Anchileas, Autarieus, Dardanos, Maidonas, Taulas, Perraivos, Partho, Daorthos, and Dassaros. Also, EXTREMELY GREEK NAMES, and we cannot disprove Apollodorus in any way. The Illyrians participated in the Olympic Games from the creation of this athletic event, which ONLY, I repeat, ONLY GREEKS participated in from all regions of the Mediterranean!!! One Illyrian Olympian was Kleosthenes from Epidamnos, which is modern-day Durrës. Much later, towards the end of the games, they also allowed some barbarians. Illyrian coins, even those found today, ALL have GREEK INSCRIPTIONS!!! Homer mentions the names of the kings of the Illyrians: 358 B.C. Daryllos, with a son named Kleitos. 231 B.C. Agron with his wife Teuta. 221 B.C. Demetrios of Pharos. 168 B.C. Perseas. And I leave Pyrrhus for last, with a father named Aiakides. ALL CLEARLY GREEK NAMES!!! Can you refute these ancient historians? Herodotus, the father of history, tells us about the origins of the Greek tribes. Prometheus and Klymene had a son named Deucalion, who married Pyrrha, daughter of the Titan Epimetheus and Pandora. Deucalion and Pyrrha had three children: Hellen, Amphictyon, and Protogeneia. Hellen gave birth to Aeolus, progenitor of the Aeolians, Dorus, progenitor of the Dorians, and Xuthus. Xuthus had children: Achaeus, progenitor of the Achaeans, and Ion, progenitor of the Ionians. The main tribes were four: Aeolians, Dorians, Achaeans, and Ionians. From these, much later, emerged other Greek tribes, including the ILlyrian tribe. The progenitor of these tribes, as Herodotus mentions, was Hellen, and thus, when the ancient world united, we all took the name of our progenitor, Hellenes!!! In Byzantium, the name 'Hellenes' was forbidden because it was considered pagan, and they wanted to establish the name of the Eastern Roman Empire and later Byzantium. Your language is influenced mainly by Dacian (Romanian), Slavic, Bulgarian, and Greek, as proven. Your lexicon lacks maritime terms, which indicates that you had no contact with the sea, while the Illyrians were seafarers. The Greek Ptolemy refers to you in a map of the era as being in the Caucasus, where the Romans brought you as slaves and laborers. The Byzantine Queen Komnene later mentions that the Albanians all lived together in a mountainous region in Albanopolis. In this relocation, the Romans placed you once again in the mountains from the Caucasus. I now ask: From which ancient Albanian authors do you draw your information for your various claims? Your first Albanian dictionary was written by a Greek, translated from phonetic to written form in Greek and Latin in 1819. You didn’t have your own alphabet or even Albanian consciousness. You sided with whoever conquered you. With the Romans, you changed your faith and language; with the Turks, you again changed your faith and were called Shkiptars. With the Italians, you became their protectorate-essentially Italian territory-and when communism fell and you walked here to Greece, you all claimed to be Northern Epirotes and called yourselves Giorgos, Giannis, Paschalis. Finally, in the northern part of Albania live the Ghegs, the present-day Albanians who came from the Caucasus, and south of the Genusus River are the Tosks, who are aligned with Greek tribes; they are Greeks. I want you to name ancient Albanian writers and geographers who support these fabricated claims you make regarding your origins... with your incredible modern historians, who the global historical community ignores and laughs at, as you try to convince the world of something you are not.
Here are some quick facts this video didn't mention. Ilir in Albanian means "I'm free." Iliriyans are descendants of Pelasgians. Eldest known settlement discovered under Lake Ohrid - 8000 years old with an inscribed rock which says 'DARDANII' thus making it the earliest known settlement recorded to date in Europe. Albanian language today is the oldest language in the world, meaning we are able to communicate in our language today, the way they spoke up to 8000 years ago potentially - seeing as the words DARDANII are inscribed on that rock previously mentioned. It's clear that Albanians have been robbed off their history.
@@nerodoomwell the sentence “left nothing “ is over killed by you! We get it you may have the slavic pride but having a unique language, culture it means something! Also there are a lot of remainings of that civilization! What happened with roman empire is they had way more manpower same thing as Ottoman Empire did later on! A little advice for you is to be a little bit more open minded about other people cultures or at least don’t spread hate…
Thank you for another excellent video! I quite enjoy these that shine a spotlight on the nations and peoples that are often sidelined in the broad overviews of history. God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)
I laughed so much at this video, telling the history of the Illyrians and not telling anything about their relationship with the Albanians. Ehhh, that's how they started the disappearance of Illyrian history, the great power Germany,France,England and the greateste Rusland after the Ottoman Empire, now you are continuing the same. You don't know what language the Illyrians spoke, while the word Illyrian itself means \ Free \ in the Albanian language. If you want to understand the old words and names, I suggest you learn the Albanian language, a language that has been banned by many conquerors, but which has survived them all. You tell us about king Agron and you have no idea that the same name has meaning Agron in Albanian . Agron means \Do you grow? Troy mens\ My place? Can someone tell me why these names are explained only in the Albanian language? You have disappointed me with this video.
The Illyrians were a group of tribes who lived in the western Balkans during antiquity. The closest descendants of the Illyrians are generally considered to be the modern Albanians. This connection is based on linguistic, historical, and genetic evidence: 1. Linguistic Evidence: The Albanian language is considered by many linguists to be a direct descendant of the ancient Illyrian language. While the Illyrian language itself is poorly documented, certain linguistic features and vocabulary in Albanian suggest a continuity from the Illyrian language. 2. Historical Evidence: Historical records and accounts from ancient sources place the Illyrians in the regions that largely correspond to modern-day Albania, Kosovo, and parts of Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia. Over time, as the Roman Empire expanded and the Slavic migrations occurred, the Illyrians were assimilated or displaced, but in some areas, especially in mountainous regions, they retained their distinct identity, which is believed to have evolved into the modern Albanian identity. 3. Genetic Evidence: Genetic studies have shown that the populations in these regions have a significant degree of genetic continuity with ancient populations, including the Illyrians. While genetic links alone are not definitive proof of direct descent due to the complex history of migrations and mixing in the Balkans, they do provide supporting evidence. Thus, while it is difficult to draw a direct and unbroken line from the Illyrians to any modern group due to the complex history of the region, Albanians are widely regarded as the closest descendants of the Illyrians based on the available evidence.
@biljanakovacevic-og1tc gave us these documented facts about this migration. I usually read it from Serbs this theory, but never founded anywhere in history books. Give me the book name so I can check. I wish isn't Serbs history for elementary school.

How do you not know that many of the names you mentioned have meaning in Albanian? “I lire” means free. “I lire jam” means I am free. Bardhyl means white star. The strangeness of not mentioning the Albanian language connection to Illyrian is just weird and unscientific. The Albanian language is the only other big language besides Greek in the area to survive to this day. I am glad you made a clear distinction between when the Slavs arrived, as that is what happened. They came after the fall of Illyrians and had nothing to do with what happened there whatsoever.
I have made the DNA test and it came up 98.5% Illyrian, that can be checked anywhere. I am from Tropoja, Albania. We shouldn't rush to conclusions, the history has been manipulated everywhere, but that of Illyrians and Balkans more than any other. Balkan people, especially Albanians, but Croats, Bosnians and Macedonians too need to work a lot on finding what's taken from us, the hidden truth. As for the carpathian residues, the sooner they get out of the funny brainrotting illusion, the better for them.
Of course Illyrians dont have any modern descedants when theres literal ethnolinguistic and genetic ties to them such as the Messapics having a linguistic connection to Albanians as seen in the works of Matzinger which is one of the main leading Albanologists , although he switches up his theories the Messapic connection sincerely proves a connection. Now for the genetic part, Illyrians possesed haplogroups J2b l283,R1b z2705 and r1b pf7562 along with E-V13 clades such as the Himera and IA local in the croatian coast, even though the E-V13 being non illyrian is up for debate it certainly isnt Thracian either because Proto Thracians didnt possess it meaning it was a ocal Balkan haplogroup which got assimilated, its same case is for Albanians which whose Yamnaya ancestors migrated and assimilated these E-V13 people around at the Proto-Illyrian era, saying they dont have any modern descedants when patrilineages show a continuity along with the audna of albanians being mostly Illyrian if you run g25 or any other admix tool with a few other populations such as Slavic or Anatolian Or whatever else.
Illyrian language is unknown to you not to us! If you do not know it has any modern survivors, hahahaha, go to any lab-made language in the peninsula and more! If you are an historian and not a linguist, make references and do not bullshit! A.H.!!!!!!!!! Apparently you are none of the two!!! hahaha
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.

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.

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.

@@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 🪞

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.
Thank you for making a documentary about Ilirians. Albanians are the only remaining authoctonous peoples group that still have preserved and use the Ilirian language customs and Names, although Ilyrian DNA is to be found from Croatia all the way to Northern Greece (Epirus). Ilir ( i lirë) in Albanian means free, referring to the free tribes inhabiting the whole Ilirian peninsula ( the concept of the Balkan Peninsula was created much later by a big blunder of the German geographer August Zeune in 1808, Balkan means 'chain of wooded mountains in Turkish). Albanians still use names as Agron, Teuta, Genti, Taulant, Afërdita, Adri-an/atik to name their children and this practice it is common. For example: the name Bardhyli ( king of Dardania, (Kosova region) means White star ( bardh-white; yll-star), many other names can be explained or broken down in their meaning by Ilyrian-Albanian embryomorphemes. Even the name of Dua Lipa has a meaning (dua - want/wish or love)
Illyrians were tall , not short big headed albanians
Genetic testing has shown that Croats living along along the Dinaric Alps (both sides of the Croatia and Bosnia border) have up to 71% Illyrian DNA. Genetically, northern Albanians have about 20% Illyrian DNA and even less in the south.
@@libertas5552 This isn't quite right. Genetically speaking, Bosniaks and Croatians have the least Paleo-Balkan DNA compared to other Balkan populations from the former Yugoslavia. The groups with the most Paleo-Balkan ancestry are Kosovo-Albanians, followed by North Macedonians, Bulgarians, and Romanians/Serbs.
I’ve looked at a PCA plot comparing ancient Bronze Age populations from Albania with modern Albanians. The plot shows that Bronze Age Albanians were quite similar to their counterparts in Bronze Age Croatia, which suggests that people from Albania up to Croatia were probably Illyrians. When I compared these samples to medieval Albanian populations, the PCA plot showed medieval Albanians were notably closer to Greeks and Thracians than the samples from Bronze Age Albania. This points to a mix between Illyrians and Greeks/Thracians over time. Comparing medieval Albanians to modern Albanians, there’s a noticeable shift towards Slavs.
The origins of the Albanian language are still uncertain, as the Illyrians were likely Latinized by then. It’s unlikely Albanian directly comes from Illyrian. The most convincing theory is that Albanian descended from a population in what is now Serbia, known as Moesians. This means that while Albanians mixed with ancient locals in Albania, who were definitely Illyrian, their linguistic roots are probably tied to ancient Moesia Superior and Dardania in today’s Serbia, who were most likely some variation of Thracian.
@@googlenutzer8530 so youre saying that the current croatians are ancient slvanians and current albanians are srrbs? Thank u mr albania
@@All-f5m Not really. What I'm saying is that Albanians today are pretty much mixed up with between Thracians, Illyrians and Greeks, the average Albanian doesn't resemble the average Illyrian, however their Paleo Balkan ancestry is still very high, while Croats for example are barely Paleo Balkan.
They say there is no proof of connection between Illyrians and Albanians, but yet you see the transition of different names through different eras, Enchelei ...and then Taulanti... and then Parthini and Dassareti... and then Ardiei and Epirus... and then Epirus... and then in smaller tribes such as Albanoi, with Dardania always on the map through the history...AND THEN, WHEN IT BECOMES ALBANIA everybody becomes like "NO NO NO, THERE IS NO CONNECTION, THERE IS NO RECORD WRITTEN ", it is all written as it was all the rest and there is no written Illyrian language as it was not with all the rest.

Traces of the language survive indirectly in a small number of glosses recorded by Greek and Roman authors, as well as in Illyrian personal and place names found in Greek and Latin literature and epigraphy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The term "Ilyr" literally translates to "free" or "free people" in Albanian (Ilir) yet there are willfully ignorant people who still deny Albanian is descended from Ilyrian language.
Another fun fact Albanians refer to themselves as Shqiptar which literally means eagle people. The eagle in Albania symbolizes freedom and it's perhaps the largest symbol that represents Albanians as they constantly had to fight for their freedom for literal thousands of years while living between some of the strongest and largest ancient empires in known in history.
Yet fucking slavs still have the gall and sheer stupidity to deny all of this in the most ignorant ways (looking at your serbs)

The theory that modern Albanians are direct descendants of ancient Illyrians has been debunked by genetic studies.

To make a documentary about the Illyrians, and not having the courage to elaborate on their direct descendants until our days, is an intellectual weakness and a superficial approach to the issue. It is unprofessional to include their heirs in just one sentence, "as a result of modern nationalist movements"! - Sometimes there is one kind of defensive nationalism that can simultaneously be based on some scientific truth.
Is there proof that Albanians are the descendants of the ancient Illyrians? Yes, there is proof:
1: Albanian has words from the ancient Doric dialect. Why is this proof? Well, Doric‐Greek went extinct 2000 years ago, meaning that those words, even if they are loanwords must have entered at least 2000 years ago. This proves that Albanians must have lived close to Dorians (or the Dorians themselves were part of their Illyrian origin).
2: The Albanian vocabulary consists of a high percentage of Latin (Vulgar) loanwords. Meaning that Albanians must have lived in, or close to a place where Latin (Vulgar) was spoken.
3: We do actually have some remnants of the Illyrian language. I introduce Messapic:
Messapic inscriptions. Messapic was an Illyrian dialect and it does show simulaties only with Albanian.
4: Albanians (or Arbanians) were first mentioned by Hecataeus of Miletus (550-476 BCE) under the name Abroi (Ἄβροι), Arboi, Abros (since 6th century BCE, in fragment 69 of Periodos ges, cited by Stephanus of Byzantium in 6th century CE). The name of the tribe is recorded in Ancient Greek as Abroi. But Ptolemy (egyptian astronomer, mathematician, and geographer) is the first authors who mentions them under the name Albanoi, in 150AD (2nd century CE), in his geography he cites the "Albanoi" as an Illyrian tribe living in Albanopolis, Macedonia (now central Albania). From a single tribe the name spread to include the rest of the country as Arbëri and, finally, Albania.
The archaeological site of Zgërdhesh, thought to be the site of the ancient city of Albanopolis, city of the Illyrian Albanoi tribe. It's a huge site, with well preserved walls & towers, & the remains of stepped 'streets' cut from the rock.
5: Those few language elements which are known as Illyrian can be explained through the Albanian language, and no other. Linguists point out many technical similarities between Illyrian and Albanian words. Illyrian toponyms, ancient Illyrian place names for cities, rivers, and mountains, are preserved today in the Albanian language, and only in Albanian. The names of Balkan villages usually lasted only a few centuries, for villages were often destroyed altogether during wartime. Cities lasted longer, so their names were usually older. But rivers, lakes and mountains endured through the centuries, and their ancient names usually continued in use. Even new inhabitants usually adopted the old names, just as American colonists adopted many old Indian place names in the United States. Accordingly, Albanian linguists have found more than 300 names of ancient cities like Shkodra, rivers like the Drin and mountains like Tomor which were mentioned by ancient Greek and Roman geographers or historians and which are still in use in Albania. Scholars show how the rules of historical phonetics explain any changes of spelling over the centuries from Illyrian to Albanian, as Scupi to Shkup, Scodra to Shkodra, Lissus to Lezha, Durrachium to Durrës, Drinus to Drin, Mathis to Mat. Certainly the Albanian language is derived from the Illyrian (Cabej 1985, 42-62).
Illyrian proper names continue in use among present-day Albanians. Many of the individual Illyrian names of persons were preserved on epitaphs and inscriptions on coins. Then the names of other people like the Illyrian rulers Agron and Teuta were mentioned by Greek or Roman historians. The Albanian scholar Mahri Domi have identified 800 of these (Liria 15 October 1982; 1 November 1983).
The numerous marine terms for sea plants and animals in the Albanian language show that these people lived along the coast on what would correspond with Illyrian territory (AT 1983, 1:44-45).
Then there are other words in Albanian which Greek or Roman writers long ago explicitly identified as Illyrian in origin.
Down through the centuries many once great peoples have been either destroyed or assimilated by others so as to disappear altogether. But the Illyrian people with their distinctive dress, music, customs and especially their language have persisted in their shrinking territory along the western shore of the Balkan Peninsula. With no record or tradition even hinting at their extermination or assimilation or migration, one can only assume their unbroken historical continuity. There seems to be no question but that the present-day Albanians are the historically uninterrupted descendants of the lllyrians who were known to have inhabited that same region in early Greek and Roman times.
6. The latest genetic (DNA) data prove the same scientific theory, that today's Albanians are direct heirs of the Illyrians, Illyro-Thracians, or this paleo-Balkan people.
Read more: rrenjet.com/the-albanian-dna-project-rrenjet/
- Although historical logic places the burden of proof on those who oppose the direct lineage of the Illyrians to the Albanians (if they can find evidence to the contrary, let them present those), however, even though the Illyrians have left little data, we can still prove this continuity.
There was no written ethnic language in the ancient time. Albanian is a hearth language, a vernacular one. Still, their written language used to be their religious languages Latin and Greek, because Latin and Greek are NOT ethnic languages, but Sacred ones.
The written language has always been an attribute of the religion because it has been created for liturgy.
This is the simple reason, you don’t find and you will never find in the future, any Albanian inscription, or Thracian one, or Illyrian one, Epirotic one, or Macedonian one, you always will find them in “Greek” or “Latin” the languages of their religion.

Illyrians predated Slavs in the Balkans. Greeks and Illyrians have in common both being directly Yamnayan language (in addition to that remaining pre-Indo-European Neolithic incorporated into the Indo-European identity) which only Albanian, Greek, and Armenian are today. Otherwise, many orthodox Albanians from the north and east ethnic regions of Albanians, were assimilated into south Slavic identities (such as Serb, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, and Bulgarian/Macedonian; also the many other orthodox Albanians of the south region, were assimilated into the new Greek identity.

Based honestly
It's still unknown, who knows Illyrians might have connections with Italo-Celtic group or same group family with Greeks, Albanians, Armenians, Thracians and Dacians (Paleo Balkanite)!
@@horizongtrx1417Aside from genetic connections (ev-13 gene) with the Illyrians there are many others, both in etymology and in culture, I'll name a few as examples, first and foremost we have the "plis" (pileus) hat worn by ancient Paleo-Balkanic people it is an integral part of the Albanian folk costume, after that we also have the "fustanella" it's origin is sort of disputed but all theories support an ancient origin as these types of skirts were very common in Ancient Greece, Illyria and even Rome, on top of that we also have the "xhubleta" it too has an ancient origin.
Moving on from clothing, we have the Albanian Iso-polyphony a very rare type of singing which is also under protection of UNESCO, thought to originate from Illyrians a similar type of singing can also be found among Croats from Herzegovina and is called "ojkanje" (or ganga). We also have the Pyrrhic dance of Rugova. Then the tribal system which appeared in Albania during the middle ages, it was inherited from ancient Illyrian social structures. Then we have "Gjama e burrave", men's lamentation of the dead or just Gjama in the south performed by women, you can look up the videos of gjama and then I'd recommend reading "Achilles lamenting the death of Patroclus", you'll find striking similarities, almost identical. On top of that we have the Dita e Verës (days of summer) which connect back to Illyrian worship of the sun, along with zjarret e vitit, bonefires which are lit on the summer day, I can continue on this connection but the comment will be too long.
In Byzantine literature, references to Illyria as a defined region in administrative terms end after 1204 and the term specifically began to refer only to the more confined Albanian territory.
in the acts of the Second Council of Nicaea from 787, Nikephoros of Durrës signed himself as "Episcopus of Durrës, province of the Illyrians".
After all of that we have etymological proof, as I've already mentioned "plis", referring to the pileus, then "thika" meaning knife/blade in modern Albanian, as you may know the most famous sword Illyrians used was the "sica", after that we have "shpata" derived from the Ancient Greek/Roman "spatha", then we have Illyrian toponyms (connected mostly to animals and plants as part of Illyrian naming tradition), dardhë (pear) - Dardania; delmë (sheep) - Delmatae (later Dalmatia); dallëndyshe/tallandushe (swallow bird) - Taulantii. The fact that the majority of loan words in Albanian are from Latin and that there's a good number of rare ancient Greek loan words should also tell you something.
If you want me to I can name over 15 historians/scientists who support the Illyrian thesis, even the university of Belgrade (subject Balkanology) offers three possible origins of Albanians, Illyrian, Thracian and Dacian.
The truth hurts, but the truth is that Albanians are of Iliro-Pellasian origin. Europe and Russia, because it is more of a face, try to make the slave peoples more local, but the slave peoples came from Russia@..!! And as for religion, we Albanians were Catholic 2 thousand years ago, but the Ottoman Empire turned us into Muslims with violence, and when we had Civilization, today's Europeans lived in CAVES.🫡👐 🇦🇱🦅
Illyrian in Albanian means "Free people" and Illyria " Land of the free people". Many of their king names translate in Albanian etc. I believe some of these races such as Taulantii, Dardanii are the today Albanians. As for their language it is a shame that we do not have much evidence but my assumptions is that it was not much different from the spoken Albanian language of 12th century. Albanian term "appeared" after the disappearance of the Illyrian term which makes sense since they are a continuity of them.
Albanian language is mix of Latin/Ottoman/Greek and some pre Slavic ones! So it doesn’t mean NOTHING in Albanian, it means that Albanian has elements of other languages that match that

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.

@@gertjandardabellainfinityal At the same time, unfortunately, the admin deletes constructive comments that show the connection between Illyrians and Albanians.
Albanians are the only ethno-linguistic descendants of the Illyrians. It is accepted that the Albanian language descends from Illyrian or an Illyrian dialect.
Fun fact: the name "Molossi", the tribe to which Pyrrhus and Alexander the Great's mother belonged to has an Albanian etymology (origin).
This is an indication the Pyrrhus of Epirus and Alexander the Great's mother were Illyrian/Albanian.
The Shqiptare are the most brainwashed of all the Balkan peoples. A modern nation created in 1912 of people brought in from the caucuses and created from converts to Islam and the treacherous fleeing communists who were turned into "Illyrians" by the communist Hoxha to claim land. The connections are all fabricated or exist from the converts they absorbed.
Are you the ones created from a story stolen from us?
@@florencsaliaj3497 What?
Just theories. According to modern scholars Albanian probably descents from Dacro-Thracian rather then Illyrian at least linguistically. Also Mollosians were a confirmed Greek tribe and not part of the the Illyrians.Firstly they participated in Olympic Games, secondly there are many inscriptions written in their Greek northwestern dialect (mostly found at Dodona) and last they had Greek costumes-religion.
@@most_wanted_gsxr4221 According to the majority of modern linguists, Albanian descends from Illyrian or an Illyrian dialect. They use the following arguments for their conclusion.
There are toponyms in the Balkans that have acquired their modern form following proto-Albanian phonetic rules. Example: Naissus became Nish following proto-Albanian phonetic rules. Astibos became Shtip. Aulona became Vlonë and then Vlorë following proto-Albanian phonetic rules.
This means that proto-Albanian was spoken in these regions (where the Illyrians lived).
There are also toponyms, ethnonyms and anthroponyms which have an Albanian etymology. Example: Dardania originates from proto-Albanian "darda" (pear). The Illyrian name Bardylis originates from proto-Albanian "bardza". The Albanian word "thikë" (knife) is believed to have originated from the Illyrian "sica" (short dagger). I could go on and on.
As for the "Molossi" having an Albanian etymology, you don't have to take my word for it. Look up the etymology of the Albanian word "Malësi" (highland). It is related to the ancient tribe of the Molossi. Malësi comes from the word "Mal" meaning "Mountain". The Albanian word "mal" is believed to have originated from Illyrian "mol-on". That means that the etymology of "Molossi" is Illyrian/Albanian and that is an indication that the Molossi were Illyrian/Albanian.
The last name "Malushi" is common among Albanians which is very close phonetically to "Molossi". Considering that Pyrrhus was adopted and raised by the Illyrian king Glaukus this makes all the more sense.
There is no doubt that the Albanians are the ethno-linguistic descendants of the Illyrians and the Illyrians were much more influential than they would have us believe. Only Greeks and Slavs deny this truth. But the truth is difficult to hide.

@@libertas5552Full of shit recent discivery puts albanians at 90 % while Croats and bosnians Are at 30% percent wich is why you speak slavic (polish,russian)
As a Greek seeing the comment section makes me laugh. Abanians say we are the Illyrians/ Pelasgoi from 8000 BC. Slavs saying we are the Illyrians because the term slav is a later term and we just returned where we belonged or at least assimilated the Illyrians 400-500 years before the Albanians appear in history. Probably none of this is true or very little is true. Lets stick to facts and what we know from historic texts, archaeology or linguistics.
We don't know what Illyrian language sounded like or any actual vocabulary. We don't know what happened to Illyrians almost 1000 years since the Albanians and Albanian language appeared on the map. We don't know who assimilated who and when. Are albanians sons of Celts, Romans, Greeks, Slavs, Illyrians, Turks, Huns??? Are they a mix of them all? We just don't know.
I'd be more than happy to find out that Albanians are our ancient cousins, but we just don't know. There is no historical continuity and this puzzles all the experts in the field. Of course the common people can believe whatever theory makes them feel better about their identity, but science is science and does not have feelings
The truth is that Illyrians did exist and they didn't just vanish out of thin air. There are also records that some Illyrian tribes sided with some ancient Greek tribes in many many wars (usually as mercenaries) to bolster their numbers against invaders but they mostly fought eachother because Spartans just hated Athenians. Greece was not united back then and you could also kinda say the same for the Illyrians as there were records of multiple kings in Illyria at the same time which indicates multiple distinct (countries?) that did not agree a lot. It's hard to say that Albanians are 100% Illyrians but also impossible to say that they are not. In a sense you can say that Greeks and Illyrians (at least the southern part of ancient Illyria) were kind of the same people since there were archeological findings of coins which were written in Greek so being cousins with them is not a far fetched idea.
The Celts, Huns, Slavs, Greeks, Turkish, all the races that came to the Balkan are recorded. But where did the Albanian language come from? The Albanian language has no relation to any of them. The Albanian language is established from scholars as one of the oldest languages. Where did the present day Albanians learn this language if it’s not passed down from generations?
@@chefjbr Ok but you can't prove that it comes from the Illyrian language. Why not Thracian or Dacian or Paeonian, which are also languages spoken back then, but not written anywhere. Also during Roman times, in the province of Illyricum we know that many languages were being spoken, not only Illyrian. Why in whole Albania or Kossovo can't we find a single ancient epigraph that resembles Albanian languange, even with a latin or Greek alphabet?

@@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.

I will post this again and again... I will speak about the Illyrians and the Greeks so you can learn a bit of history. I will refer to ancient Greek historians and geographers who lived in that era with the Illyrians and documented it. Apollodorus tells us that Illyrios was the son of Cadmus and Harmonia. Illyrios' siblings were Semele, Polydorus, Autonoe, Agave, and Ino. EXTREMELY GREEK NAMES!!! Illyrios had the following children: Anchileas, Autarieus, Dardanos, Maidonas, Taulas, Perraivos, Partho, Daorthos, and Dassaros. Also, EXTREMELY GREEK NAMES, and we cannot disprove Apollodorus in any way. The Illyrians participated in the Olympic Games from the creation of this athletic event, which ONLY, I repeat, ONLY GREEKS participated in from all regions of the Mediterranean!!! One Illyrian Olympian was Kleosthenes from Epidamnos, which is modern-day Durrës. Much later, towards the end of the games, they also allowed some barbarians. Illyrian coins, even those found today, ALL have GREEK INSCRIPTIONS!!! Homer mentions the names of the kings of the Illyrians: 358 B.C. Daryllos, with a son named Kleitos. 231 B.C. Agron with his wife Teuta. 221 B.C. Demetrios of Pharos. 168 B.C. Perseas. And I leave Pyrrhus for last, with a father named Aiakides. ALL CLEARLY GREEK NAMES!!! Can you refute these ancient historians? Herodotus, the father of history, tells us about the origins of the Greek tribes. Prometheus and Klymene had a son named Deucalion, who married Pyrrha, daughter of the Titan Epimetheus and Pandora. Deucalion and Pyrrha had three children: Hellen, Amphictyon, and Protogeneia. Hellen gave birth to Aeolus, progenitor of the Aeolians, Dorus, progenitor of the Dorians, and Xuthus. Xuthus had children: Achaeus, progenitor of the Achaeans, and Ion, progenitor of the Ionians. The main tribes were four: Aeolians, Dorians, Achaeans, and Ionians. From these, much later, emerged other Greek tribes, including the ILlyrian tribe. The progenitor of these tribes, as Herodotus mentions, was Hellen, and thus, when the ancient world united, we all took the name of our progenitor, Hellenes!!! In Byzantium, the name 'Hellenes' was forbidden because it was considered pagan, and they wanted to establish the name of the Eastern Roman Empire and later Byzantium. Your language is influenced mainly by Dacian (Romanian), Slavic, Bulgarian, and Greek, as proven. Your lexicon lacks maritime terms, which indicates that you had no contact with the sea, while the Illyrians were seafarers. The Greek Ptolemy refers to you in a map of the era as being in the Caucasus, where the Romans brought you as slaves and laborers. The Byzantine Queen Komnene later mentions that the Albanians all lived together in a mountainous region in Albanopolis. In this relocation, the Romans placed you once again in the mountains from the Caucasus. I now ask: From which ancient Albanian authors do you draw your information for your various claims? Your first Albanian dictionary was written by a Greek, translated from phonetic to written form in Greek and Latin in 1819. You didn’t have your own alphabet or even Albanian consciousness. You sided with whoever conquered you. With the Romans, you changed your faith and language; with the Turks, you again changed your faith and were called Shkiptars. With the Italians, you became their protectorate-essentially Italian territory-and when communism fell and you walked here to Greece, you all claimed to be Northern Epirotes and called yourselves Giorgos, Giannis, Paschalis. Finally, in the northern part of Albania live the Ghegs, the present-day Albanians who came from the Caucasus, and south of the Genusus River are the Tosks, who are aligned with Greek tribes; they are Greeks. I want you to name ancient Albanian writers and geographers who support these fabricated claims you make regarding your origins... with your incredible modern historians, who the global historical community ignores and laughs at, as you try to convince the world of something you are not.
Here are some quick facts this video didn't mention.

Albanian language today is the oldest language in the world, meaning we are able to communicate in our language today, the way they spoke up to 8000 years ago potentially - seeing as the words DARDANII are inscribed on that rock previously mentioned. It's clear that Albanians have been robbed off their history.
Yet in 8000 years of your “history” you left…NOTHING
did you read the end
DNA never lies, before imagination gets wild, DNA test and studies.
@@nerodoomwell the sentence “left nothing “ is over killed by you! We get it you may have the slavic pride but having a unique language, culture it means something! Also there are a lot of remainings of that civilization!
What happened with roman empire is they had way more manpower same thing as Ottoman Empire did later on!
A little advice for you is to be a little bit more open minded about other people cultures or at least don’t spread hate…

Yet albanian never dissapeared and got spoken generations after generations for thousand of years.
Thank you for another excellent video! I quite enjoy these that shine a spotlight on the nations and peoples that are often sidelined in the broad overviews of history.
God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)
I laughed so much at this video, telling the history of the Illyrians and not telling anything about their relationship with the Albanians.
Ehhh, that's how they started the disappearance of Illyrian history, the great power Germany,France,England and the greateste Rusland after the Ottoman Empire, now you are continuing the same.
You don't know what language the Illyrians spoke, while the word Illyrian itself means \ Free \ in the Albanian language.
If you want to understand the old words and names, I suggest you learn the Albanian language, a language that has been banned by many conquerors, but which has survived them all.
You tell us about king Agron and you have no idea that the same name has meaning Agron in Albanian .
Agron means \Do you grow? Troy mens\ My place?
Can someone tell me why these names are explained only in the Albanian language?
You have disappointed me with this video.
Love how albanians didn't knew nothing about Iliryans a few yrs back, and now all of a sudden they are Iliryans

The Illyrians were a group of tribes who lived in the western Balkans during antiquity. The closest descendants of the Illyrians are generally considered to be the modern Albanians. This connection is based on linguistic, historical, and genetic evidence:
1. Linguistic Evidence: The Albanian language is considered by many linguists to be a direct descendant of the ancient Illyrian language. While the Illyrian language itself is poorly documented, certain linguistic features and vocabulary in Albanian suggest a continuity from the Illyrian language.
2. Historical Evidence: Historical records and accounts from ancient sources place the Illyrians in the regions that largely correspond to modern-day Albania, Kosovo, and parts of Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia. Over time, as the Roman Empire expanded and the Slavic migrations occurred, the Illyrians were assimilated or displaced, but in some areas, especially in mountainous regions, they retained their distinct identity, which is believed to have evolved into the modern Albanian identity.
3. Genetic Evidence: Genetic studies have shown that the populations in these regions have a significant degree of genetic continuity with ancient populations, including the Illyrians. While genetic links alone are not definitive proof of direct descent due to the complex history of migrations and mixing in the Balkans, they do provide supporting evidence.
Thus, while it is difficult to draw a direct and unbroken line from the Illyrians to any modern group due to the complex history of the region, Albanians are widely regarded as the closest descendants of the Illyrians based on the available evidence.
There is a little' problem with your theory - Albanians migrated to the Balkans 200 years after Illyrians were gone.
@biljanakovacevic-og1tc gave us these documented facts about this migration.
I usually read it from Serbs this theory, but never founded anywhere in history books.
Give me the book name so I can check.
I wish isn't Serbs history for elementary school.

albania is a third world country and has no history

"An old geezer named Bardylis." -Kings and Generals
Its Bardhyl which mean white star in Albanian language.A lot of those names are meaningful in todays Albanian Language.
Translate from Albanian to your language “BARDH YLL” what it means?!
His name means White Star in Albanian
Body, there were no Greeks, they were all Illyrians, Pellazgian, Albanian. The oldest people on earth. The oldest language on earth. Read some real world historians. Do some real research please. Most of your info is wrong!
😂😂😂😂😂
Show us your ancient language
Show us your archeological places in Albania and then speak fpr Greeks... 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
@@Johnny-pk3iq All of Greece is Albania file. Either wake up or go back to sleep.
@@viewing9684 really.. For this reason we usr3in Greek language so many words from Albanians
For this reason all archeological places in in Greece are from Albania

Ask your family and see how Albanian they are. You have been brainwashed all your life. I feel bad for you.
Im named after the last illyrian prince👍
Me too, the one which starts with G, right?
How do you not know that many of the names you mentioned have meaning in Albanian? “I lire” means free. “I lire jam” means I am free. Bardhyl means white star. The strangeness of not mentioning the Albanian language connection to Illyrian is just weird and unscientific. The Albanian language is the only other big language besides Greek in the area to survive to this day. I am glad you made a clear distinction between when the Slavs arrived, as that is what happened. They came after the fall of Illyrians and had nothing to do with what happened there whatsoever.
Well explained and narrated, please make a video about (Origin of Kurds)
I have made the DNA test and it came up 98.5% Illyrian, that can be checked anywhere. I am from Tropoja, Albania. We shouldn't rush to conclusions, the history has been manipulated everywhere, but that of Illyrians and Balkans more than any other. Balkan people, especially Albanians, but Croats, Bosnians and Macedonians too need to work a lot on finding what's taken from us, the hidden truth. As for the carpathian residues, the sooner they get out of the funny brainrotting illusion, the better for them.
My onkel his name is Agron like the king and my aunt Teuta like the queen of illyria
Of course Illyrians dont have any modern descedants when theres literal ethnolinguistic and genetic ties to them such as the Messapics having a linguistic connection to Albanians as seen in the works of Matzinger which is one of the main leading Albanologists , although he switches up his theories the Messapic connection sincerely proves a connection.
Now for the genetic part, Illyrians possesed haplogroups J2b l283,R1b z2705 and r1b pf7562 along with E-V13 clades such as the Himera and IA local in the croatian coast, even though the E-V13 being non illyrian is up for debate it certainly isnt Thracian either because Proto Thracians didnt possess it meaning it was a ocal Balkan haplogroup which got assimilated, its same case is for Albanians which whose Yamnaya ancestors migrated and assimilated these E-V13 people around at the Proto-Illyrian era, saying they dont have any modern descedants when patrilineages show a continuity along with the audna of albanians being mostly Illyrian if you run g25 or any other admix tool with a few other populations such as Slavic or Anatolian Or whatever else.
Albanians are the descendants of Illyrians, unike language, unike culture in the region.
Hello from the Adriatic Sea! Thanks for talking about this region.
Slavs have nothing to do with this region, go back to ural russia invader.
Illyrian language is unknown to you not to us! If you do not know it has any modern survivors, hahahaha, go to any lab-made language in the peninsula and more! If you are an historian and not a linguist, make references and do not bullshit! A.H.!!!!!!!!! Apparently you are none of the two!!! hahaha
Pellasgian, then YLLIRIANS, then todays ALBANIANS, the same people the same language, the same culture. So proud to be ALBANIAN❤❤❤🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
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.
