Albanian History Professor: "The 12 Gods of Olympus were Albanian"

Sep 29, 2022

An Albanian who introduces himself as a... historian, known for his anti-Hellenic sentiments and for his cooperation with the Albanian police in the persecution of Greeks in Northern Epirus, who are living in their ancestral homes, published in English the book Arvanites: The Founders of Modern Greece (Myths of the Greek Histiography).

This is Arben Llalla, who lives permanently in Tetovo in North Macedonia and belongs to the category of Albanian historians who could very well make a career out of writing science fiction.

This book only had 500 copies published in the English language and was financed by the North Macedonia Ministry of Culture, the country which essentially has a doctorate in the falsification of history.

The book shows in a propagandistic mood that the establishment of the Greek state was possible thanks to the Arvanites, which he defines as Albanian. The author's nationalist position goes to the extremes and enables the reader to question much of what is written as arbitrariness.

Specifically, he notes that all the Twelve Gods of Olympus were... Albanians, trying to show that the roots of the Albanians were from the prehistoric times in Greece.

He was educated in the University of Ankara

If he had studied any ancient historian he’d know that the Greek Gods, were their own deified kings and ancestors.

They are the former kings of Greece who ruled during the time of
the Cretan Palace Civilisation and the Incachid/Achaean/Hellenic
civilisation which followed it.

[Anaximander]

Not only 12 Gods were Albanians, but Albanians built the Acropolis of Athens, since they have builted most of Greece's infrastracture the last 3 decades.

That's why the region will never move forward and develop.

The 12 gods are egyptian origin

[Bart0s]

I mean you do realize that the 12 Gods of Olympus are also found in Albanian mythology and Illyrians. Their origin is disputed. Some claim some of those Gods have Illyrian origin. Why on earth would someone quote from a Greek nationalist site is beyond me. Arvanites were of course Albanians.

God is albanian whole world is albanian

The 12 gods are egyptian origin

The cults and the mysteries of the Gods came from the Egyptians, not the Gods themselves. It was the Greek Hyksos who introduced the cult mysteries to Greece, when Aegyptu's brother Danus returned to Greece.

The Greek Gods were of Greek origin, born and buried in Greece. Everyone knew where their tombs were.

Hesiod's Theogony has nothing to do with Egypt it's based on local mainland Greek traditions.
The genealogies were written before 750BC.
