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.

When the Slavs took over these Romanised Illyrians were assimilated by the Slavs.

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_*

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 illyrians settled there as they were indo-european people. You can see an illyrian dialect in relics from Messapia. Their language was quite close to modern Albanian. Meaning that illyrians are the ancestors of modern albanians and were not indigenous but indo-europeans who settled there

He needs to study Albanian language than he might come in conclusion

This is a lovely bit of insight. I first became interested in the Illyrians and illyricum after running my commercial DNA Data through a website called "My true ancestry." It stated that my DNA matched many archeological samples from this region as well as pannonia. (I recommend this fun tool/service if anyone likes that sorta thing) Even though my European heritage is French and Spanish, I found it intriguing that I got such results. Unfortunately most of the material out there on illyria is thin, boring and not very informative in the shadow of Rome and Greece! I was so happy to see this video as it helped give me more insight into my supposed ancient ancestry! Thanks for making this and for all you all do! ⚔️

i have been waiting for this documentary for years from this channel. and yet somehow is the only video that left me dissapointed. idk if is the lack of detailed informations or the skip of other informations. yet a bit dissapointed the fact that everything said in the video i already knew, with not so much of a research

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.

Take into account that Croatians and Bosnians belong primarily to the I haplogroup, same as Serbs and Albanians belong to E, R1b and J2. So genetically we are different, culturally not so much.

13:25 When Caesar became Proconsul he was given governorship over Galia Cisalpina, Galia Transalpina and Illyria, his territory didn't just border Illyria, Illyria was part of his territory. One of the accusations that the optimates had planned to launch against him in an eventual prosecution trial was that he left Illyria unprotected during his invasion of Gaul, in other words 10 years unattended.

NOT FACT AT ALL

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?

@DarkEagle99

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.

@@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.

Hey kings and generals I have a question do we know when the mythology of illyrius was written? I mean was the name given to those people from the greek mythology or the mythology was created after the mention of illyrians??

A little correction ; Illyrians are mentioned for the last time as a distinct people during the upheavals of the seventh century A.D..

You made a serious error but I just went and checked to be sure. In 59BC an ally of Caesar, plebian tribune, Publius Vatinius, moved a law assigning the provinces of Illyricum and Cisalpine Gaul to Caesar for 5 years after his consulship. Caesar's enemies in the Optimates had tried to prevent him from getting a provincial posting. Caesar also got Transalpine Gaul when the Governor there died. Very poor form, old boy.

​@libertas5552 The haplogroups J2b2-L283 and R1b-M269/Z2103 are associated with Illyrians, not the young I2a-din or R1a of today's Sth Slavs. J2b2-L283 is highest amongst Albanians in the Balkans, we only see a couple % in today's Sth Slavic people. It gets less as you go north, so Croatians and Bosnians have the least, and Serbians in the Sth have a little more. Do a little research on what haplogroups genetic anthropologists deem to be Illyrian, coz it seems you are stuck with theories of decades ago!
