A compilations of pictures showing some of the archeological findings in Albania and Kosova. The Albanians are one of the most ancient people in Europe...and the Albanian language is one of the most ancient in the Indo-European tree of languages. It belongs in no group, but its own.

When the Slavic known as Serbia moved down from (Carpathian Mountains or Carpathians) to the Balkans (as a refuge and Gypsy) on 7 century they started to take away Illyrian land (Albanian land) and from that day to today there have been many wars to land issues.

My "friend" you are a joke...Illyrians were a greek tribe????seriously now!!! Greeks used to call the illyrians barbarians (not speaking the same language etc). Go find me any book in the world that tells you that illyrians were a greek tribe and i will shoot myself..

You said it good: belived. It is in the past! But, now they come with other findings. Illyros-tell me what it means in Greek. As I said there are two words in Albanian for this: I lire (free) and Yll (star). His son was named Bardhyllis (Bardh Yll). Tell me what these names mean in Greek.

Second-the name Illyrian itself has meaning in Albanian but it means nothing in Greek. First Illyros-Yll (star) or also I lire (free). First Illyrian King was Bardhyllis- Bardh (white) and yllis (star).

my friend according to the acient historians believed that the greeks are the first pelasgians...according also to the acient greek mythology illyros was a greek from voiotia...also all the cities and monuments of illyria are typical greek....epidamnos,apollonia etc...

Albanians are the direct descendants of the ancient Illyrians and that the latter were natives of the lands they inhabited. Similarly, the Albanian language derives from the language of the Illyrians, the transition from Illyrian to Albanian apparently occurring between the 4th and 6th centuries AD.

The earliest known king of Illyria was Hyllus (The Star) who is recorded to have died in the year 1225 B.C. The Kingdom, however, reached its zenith in the fourth century B.C. when Bardhylus (White Star), one of the most prominent of the Illyrian kings, united under scepter the kingdoms of Illyria, Molossia (Epirus*) and a good part of Macedonia. But its decay began under the same ruler as a result of the attacks made on it by Philip of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great.

Nikoforos- Even the man with a tipical Albanian nationa hat is not convincing you? To correct you- Illyrians were Pellasgians. As we know Greeks are NOT Pellasgian and there is evdience they came in Europe but there is no such evidence for Illyrians.
