I continue to be completely flabbergasted by some of the self written, overtly egotistical Illyrian historians on this board. Now I, as well as the rest of us, am trying to be informed by our good friend Dennis who has now claimed the Greek Gods as Illyrian. That is something that simply is amazing. A roman province seems to somehow have been an historically invisible super power. Perhaps the Rosetta stone was also in Illyrian?
Are you actually trying to say that the Greek language is a derivative of Alb-Illyrian? Is this some of the nonsense that you wish us to believe?
Besides the simple facts that Greece was an active, archeologically confirmed civilization which back then was likely equivalent, if not superior to the current state of the Albanian civilization, and many more within the Balkans for that fact (Serbia included).
I fail to understand how you would even have found any such reference based on your claim that it was an unwritten language? Is there perhaps a 4000 year old man living in Albania that can recall the events of Cleopatra and Marc Antony, or Alexander's conquests of Europe and Asia Minor, or the Glory of Constantinople, or the ravages of Atila and his Huns, or the brutality of the Ottoman Empire, or even Galileo, and the glories of the Renaissance? How is it that a nonwritten languange's, and subsequently peoples history authentically survive?
Please do not attempt to pass of fables, legends and myth as fact and reality. If that is the case then have I got a few *facts* for you too.
I can perhaps understand an Albainia sided argument about 'who was here first' with resepect to Serbia, but when you throw Greece into the mix, the godfather of Kosovo's new democracy, the founders of science, the only interpreters of Egyptian, the writers of the New Testament, I fail to find the humor in such saddening ignorance, or despicable attempted propaganda.
History does not seem to be a strong friend to an illiterate and subordinate society. You may attempt to rewrite it through your new found literacy, but older texts show different facts. Older buildings and monuments also show Serbia's historical claims to the Kosovo landscape, unless of course along with illiteracy the glorious fiefdoms of Illyria were also nomadic tribes without the ability, know-how, or drive to build. And if that is the case, a group of decedents of a bunch of illiterate, uninspired, hardly-working peoples should refrain from pointing fingers and throwing stones.
Now, of course I would hardly suspect than my 'only-obvious-based-on-your-argument-inferences into Illyrian history are correct, which would then have us all conclude that your history is marked full of fantasy.
I'm sorry Denis my friend, but when you're going to beat your chest you should at least try to pass it by some kindergarteners first before you wish to play with the big boys.
Thank you for the marvelous history of the day.
And with respect to Lord Byron's work. I'm sure that the Albanians were good soldiers for the nation that housed and fed them. Equivalently the American Armed forces is disproportionally minority ethnicities (African-American and Hispanic) I wouldn't be surprised at all that Albanians were disproportionally large too. The upper classes (in America the European-Americans) typically learn that sending their children to fight is not nearly as good as sending the lower classes (every body else).
