Albanians Are Albanians: For Those Sick Of Other Theories

You need to study... let me drop some knowledge and a YouTube video on your

Can't even remember to have written that, it's an old post. Anyways getting verbally aggressive by insulting others is not a sign of self confidence, quite the opposite.

It's hilarious. The majority of Albanians come up as Ancient Greek on MyTrueAncestry.

It's the fault of Enver Hoxha and Ali Pasha. We are still dealing with the cultural fall-out from these bitches

But we are not ancient greeks. They simply don't have samples from Albania...

We definitely need more samples from Epirus. I will agree with you on that end of the spectrum. However, if you share DNA Segments with Mycenaean samples, you have Ancient Greek heritage.

Albanians? So you tell me they do exist, I thought they were mythical creatures just like elves.

An Emoji is verbally aggressive?

You did write it. News Flash! Greeks didn't just appear in 1821. That's just fantasy.

I am sick of people flaunting the Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer theory on The Apricity. It's total BS and False.

"The Hellenic race has died out in Europe." This bold assertion made by Fallmerayer was made in the year 1830.
The eminent German scholar of the time, Zinkeisen disproved Fallmerayer's statements by means of a careful and systematic research of Byzantine historians, and thereby succeeded in exposing many errors and superficialities of Fallmerayer's writing. After Zinkeisen came scientific men like Ludwig Ross, Ernst Curtius, and Carl Mendelssohn-Bartholdi, who aided in refuting Fallmerayer's theories completely!

The reiteration of Fallmerayer's error may appear superfluous, but it is NOT; for there are many people who have read Fallmerayer only and are ignorant of the fact that his statements have been refuted.

The publications of Fallmerayer actually produced some good results: they caused one of the most obscure periods in the histroy of the Middle Ages to be thoroughly investigated by eminent scholars. These investigations have shown that the Greeks of today are the direct descendants of the ancient Greeks; and their war for independence from 1821 to 1828 is evidence that they are also heirs of the immortal glory which lives in the annals of history of their ancestors.

I'm 100% sure they aren't real

because the term Albanian didn't show up in any records till the middle ages, so of course we want to know of what classical ethnicity they came from

I've got nothing against Albabians. If anything they're my favorite Muslims but I'm confused about them constantly posting theories that they're Illyrians or Greeks or something. Why can't they just be content with being Albanians?

P.S. what's with everyone in the Balkans claiming to be the real Greeks?

Albanians are Illyrian, we’re not ancient Greeks, but we are Illyrian, don’t tell us what we can or can’t call ourselves. I think you must be on about Dardanians? Greeks never said they were Greek.

The Roman Empire mentioned an Albani tribe from what is now Albania.
