Thank you soooo much!!! I'm a Year 6 student and this was so helpful for a project that we had on the Greeks at school! We need more videos like this on KZhead!
Glad it was helpful!
We are still here
Very informative indeed. Hope we have more on the u. Tube.
Awesome!! Love it!!
As a Dorian, I have always wondered who I am. Great lecture - thanks for uploading! Greetings from Doris, Greece.
Dorian ?? D:
What a great introduction. I had a place at Newcastle, to read Classic, in 1985 but messed up my A levels. This lecture takes me back to my fervour for the Ancient World.
02:19 - The name of the man is Ellin and not Hellen We call ourselves Ellines and not Hellins.
The correct form of writing is: Ἓλλην so the correct pronlunciation in ancient times is Hellen
WE ARE NOT HELLENIC
Ran across this video after reading Herodotus "the histories" - I'm tempted to fastforward this to see what everyone thinks about trusting Herodotus lol
Excellent introduction to ancient Greek History. We need more videos like this.
I love how some Albanians try to correct a professor from a university because he does not lecture THEIR "truth".
Albanians, Greeks, Assyrians
As they should. He has no knowledge of Herodotus
"History is a set of lies that people have agreed upon," Napoleon said.
I am GREEK, and I don't agree with him.
@@supermavro6072 look below I wrote him something… I mean after all there is no reason to bash each other where actually do the opposite provide solid information 🤝
Maybe Herodotus was telling Greeks if they built a machine similar to that design how it could easily extract gold. Just my thought. I read a lot of esoteric books.
Nah it was just a misunderstanding between the word Myrmix (any in Greek ) and the Persian word for marmot ( since we have no marmots in Greece). So they were just talking about different things.
so many books? so many books keep going and lagging behind hahahaha
Herodotus opened that story with "this is how the persians SAY they get their gold" the professor took Herodotus out of context. Not just there, but many other times throughout this lecture. Herodotus recorded first person accounts. He uses this story to highlight that the Persians have no idea where their raw materials come from. It has nothing to do with ants🤦♂️
I was going to say the same. Herodotus went into the project with the mindset that he would tell stories other people told him. Usually he would lead off with something like "I am just passing it along, make of it what you will." Sometimes he would come right out and say the story was nonsense, but he felt obligated to tell it. So I think critics have been pretty unfair to him. Where Herodotus shines is with events that he himself witnessed. He visited Egypt personally, so a lot of what he said was probably fairly accurate. Same thing with Scythia - he went and lived among them, talked to them, witnessed their ceremonies, etc. A lot of what he said about them has proven true with archaeology.
Greeks had been living mostly on the coasts of Anatolia (from far north in Pontus-Georgia down to Syria and further inside Anatolia ) outside of the Greek mainland for over 3000 years. You had missed to note that on your map.
Greeks have been on the Crimean peninsula for a long time too
@@emre05x even today
Tanais was an ancient Greek city in the Don river delta since 700bc , maybe older . Odessa is located between the ancient Greek cities of Tyras and Olbia , not to mention that the majority of cities in Tauris ( Crimea ) have greek names. Iphigenia in Tauris is a drama by the playwright Euripides, written between 414 BC and 412 BC.
Those were all Pelasgians, they spread all over Europe, Egypt and Asia.
I have been in almost situation in Mali concerning the insects looking for gold dust
good rhetor!
even in the illiad it talks about one Petros who had a very long head, today i have seen these Dolichocephaly types, look at the bronze age archaeology .
I would like to know how the greek language started n evolved, what their histories are written in and where i can see the original writing or replica of it.
Αd interim Greek language started with Linear B' tablets.There are original tablets in Greek museums. Evolved in About 30 dialects when introduce alphabetic system. Alphabetic archaic written texts by Homer,Orfeo, Esiodo,Alkman,Saffo and others. Written texts are all replica. More ancient alphabetic replica a part of Homer rapsody on marble found at Olympia one year ago.
It started with Cretan Hieroglyphs , that preceded the egyptiot , followed by by linnear A , then linear B. The current letters were also found in a pottery fragment of about 5000bc and in a wooden tablet from Dispillio dated about 6000BC
Greek is an Indo-European language, which means its distant ancestor language was spoken on the Pontic Steppes in Ukraine. The original Proto Indo-European language was spoken there and was already breaking into sub groups by around 3000 BC when those people began invading Europe. Greek itself seems to have formed by around 2000 BC and was first recorded in writing by 1600 BC or so (Linear A and B). Some scholars believe Greek can be classed with the Iranian branch of IE, but this is not consensus. The Hittite languages are also IE languages but they are much older and it is clear Greek did not descend from them. This means Greek almost certainly did not come over from nearby Anatolia. Most likely Greek entered from the Balkans and this means it was probably closely related to the Thracian/Dacian languages. It is clear that Mycenean culture was intrusive to Greece and much different from the Minoans. DNA evidence has proven this. They have dug up elite Myceneans and Minoans and found that their ancestries were slightly different. The Myceneans had clear Steppe ancestry while all Minoans had zero. This implies Greece was invaded from the north by a tribe who setup their own aristocratic system and spread their language.
Nice presentation, but why didn't you analyze Professor the etymology of the word "Hellas" (Ellas) and "Hellin"(Ellin) ? It would be very nice for everyone to understand what these words actually mean.
8:25 - "Magna Graeca" - A nitpick, but should that not be "Magna Graecia"?
Maybe Herodotus was telling “his truth”? Surely that would be acceptable to modern Universities?
Could it be that all those big floods caused by the Gods were just due to climate change, and that ancient people sought for an explanation not knowing about melting ice? Maybe the moment the mediterranen Sea connected with the Black sea was one of these events witnessed by peoples in that area that told the story to the younger generation thus creating the myth of the big flood. I loved this lecture very much. I am too old to become a student, but lectures like this do help me to develop myself. Kind regards from the Netherlands.
All great catastrophic events, like earthquake, volcano eruption, e.c.t.,the people believed it was the Ruth of some God,especially Zeus, the king of gods.
The word Marmot sounds very close to the greek word for ant - μύρμηξ (possibly murmex)...I don't know how Marmot was called in ancient times...
Maybe he used giant metaphorically
It would be a dream to go to school in England. I study in Houston Texas.
Believe it or not the lectures I've watched from Huston are far better than most of the rubbish being now churned out by British Universities. The UK educational establishment; trading mostly on the increasingly threadbare prestige of past achievements is far more obsessed with WOKE, post colonialism and Identity politics, etc and other such rubbish than with promoting serious and critical academic studies and is now being run largely as a seedy financial racket and as a job creation scheme for the generally otherwise unemployable middle classes. You're really not missing much.
I think,that herodotus might confuse the name"marmot"-"ΜΑΡΜΟΤ",with "merminx"-"ΜΕΡΜΙΝΞ",(ant),but not squirrel....just a thought.
That is correct!
I was about to ask, how do you know he lies about persians discusing democraty... But I am glad I watched till the end.
does he have twitter?
Who? Zeus?
@@simonci5177 I bet Zeus does have a twitter! 🤣
DR Andrew Bayliss who were the Greeks, Pericles had a long face and long narrow heads just like you. they were the original people of the land called Pelasgus . Delphi museum there is a statue of Apollo with a very long face,
Cyrene, and even Marseille, France..
And Barcelona ( remember 1992 Olympic games ceremony opening) and Impuria-Emporion
Antibes (Antipolis ) and Napoli (Neapoli) among others.
👏👏
I’m south of Italy you have ancient Albanians. There are cities that still have Albania’s (arbresh)
Relax
🐜 ant in Greek is mirmigki and could have possibly been confused with marmot
As time passes, all of Herodotus' stories have a tendency to come up TRUE!
YES !!!! 💯
How did the name get continent Europe. Anthropology as there are also other myths and legends, defined, e.g. cult Mitra) had ethnic symbiosis with the Egyptians from the Peloponnese. According to legend, Kadmo is the brother of Europe, who was kidnapped by Zeus. Kadmoa, goes in search of Europe and according to legend he seeks it, first in Crete, then in the mainland of present-day Greece, and through Lihnid (Ohrid), goes to the eastern parts of the Adriatic coast. The legend of Kadmon and his Kadmians connects the land of Egypt (Thebes on the Nile), with Thebes in Boeotia, and finally with Thebes on the Adriatic coast (present-day Tivat). Even part of the road e c, the son of Zeus and Ia, is married to Memphis , the daughter of the Nile. They had a daughter named Libya (name elin for Africa). Libya has been the grandmother of Cadmus, Europa and Bel. Bel is the father of Danae (Elada) and Egypt (Egypt). One of Kadmo's sons is called Ilir (Robinson, H.S., Wilson, K.1976: 167; Pinsent, J. 1969: 48). According to legend, Kadmo was a Phoenician, Zeus kidnapped Europe from Phenicia, turned into a dog. The bull motif of Zeus, which carved out Europe, is often used in the art of painting and in figurative representations by many writers in Europe. Here can also be related the different circumstances of the legend of Kadmon and his wife Harmonia, their transformation into a serpent. Kadmo and his connection Enhelej (Enhalon eel), which as a symbol of the nation has the rich serpent 33 . Through the transformation of Zeus into a bull (the bull Apis is one of the most recognized gods in ancient Egypt) and the memorable connection to the Egyptian mesothera to the serpent Uazi, one can notice the echo and power of Egyptian civilization, in the myth and the legend of Kadmon, and with him shows some migratory movements of Egyptians in the Balkans. The legend of Kadmon can go into an archaeological context related to archaeological finds in Crete, Mycenae, Trebenishte and other archaeological sites.
the United States of America were made based on the greek city-states system
Not really, for founders of USA were actually using Roman low sistem to write first constitution. and even today USA is politic is based on Roman's, expending, expending power on global level, using chip resources and working power....

never did that i mean you call us greeks our name is hellenes and our country hellas

Because they were Turkish before

I see a lot of tension in the comments and some of them got good points but a lot of them just talking about a nationalist point of view. All our states today (Greece, Albania, Northmacdonia, and and and) are looking for reason to call themselves more ancient than their neighbors to legitimes territorial clames (and for some other reasons far to complex to discusse on KZhead). What is true is that we all lived together in a lot of empires who rise and falls at this area which is known as a crossroad of 3 continents, so it’s clear that we all got influences from one and other and also from ruling dynasty’s and empires. The history ist mostly written by the winners and chanced often from time to time… culturally the hellens were much more diverse than modern greeks nationalists want to know, just as illyrian tribes. All of them used to war and complot against each other for different reasons. You all have to chill more about these kind of topics, history isn’t that accurate as some of you think, with every release of new archaeologic stuff history is updating itself, or at least gain other point of views. Mainland greeks, southern italians and Albanians are sharing pretty much the same DNA, which doesn’t mean that italians and albanians are pure blooded greece and also the moon and andromeda Galaxy was once greece and nationalistic shit like that 😂, it just means that we all been there fore a while and lived side by side, even influenced one and other. Modern state borders is a resultate about war, modern day history results by deformation of modern day countrys. That is a fact that aspecially citizens of nationalistic country’s like those at the balkanstates should know pretty well. I am not looking to trigger somebody here.
The ilirians was a protohellen tribe ,the Albanian like a name open a book and learn where was come from and how come to the area from the Turks...
no, greeks don‘t look for reasons to call themselves more ancient then their neighbors! greeks have one of the most ancient coulture in the world and this is not a greek point of view but the view of the most intelectual people / universitys in this world. What you try is to put greece next to your propaganda so that you will be neutralized. There is no other history about our neighbors
Greeks you find in Greece....lol, and maybe earlier in the Balkans..., and later also in western Anatolia and southern Italia
All over the world , where there is sea there are Greeks , for centuries now .
And you can find your people everywhere ...... on the trees .... still ... just like in the past.
@@nikosnikolis837 more then that
Even in China my friend you find Greece and also in Peru and in America! Can you imagine this? We had explored the whole planet a long time ago, before the "officially" known as explorers of these places!
I don't understand the animosity jealousy and Albanians have against the Greeks... Oh wait I get it now, when one people have contributed to the world arguably the most and then the other European brethren is known for playing bad guys in Liam Nelson's.... yeah I understand now
As an hellene i'm impressed the hebrews actually discovered the myth of Deucalion Helen and appropriated it into their own testament as the story of Noah several centuries later. A barbarian actually knows my history better than me. Great lecture 👍
He does, but he doesn't say the WHOLE Truth to his students.For instance, he says that the Hellenes received their name from the Hellin, in the history of Deucalion, but what he doesn't say is what actually means the word Hellin and Hellas, which by the way the correct form is Ellin and Ellas. I wonder: in UK students don't actually have questions about the etymology of the name they hear? First thing a Professor does in Greece (Ellas), is to analyze the etymology of every single word in History classes, so as NO student leave the university without even known the basics!! That's a minus to this video.
Yes but Persians still do let one man rule them.
Who are the greeks.... Who where the ancient greeks are more accurate
who where greeks? desendents of hellen.that is not historical answer. Mythology aside, do you know how were ancient Greeks?We know that they migrated in Europe around 12 century bc.But who they were,from where they come from,how they looked?
Are you for real? Hellenic history and lands are one of the most, if not THE MOST, researched topics in the world. Get out of your cave
So you know that they migrated but not from where or anything related to that statement. Nice job buddy you must be a genius
@@danaos2217 I'm historian.your answer tells me that you don't know much about ancient history of elada.we know that they migrated,in some way the inherited micean civilization. but then there is dark age in greek history.what happened we don't know.we know that there was another greek migration in Greece and after 7c bs. we have sources and we know a lot want was happening. but my question remains. who they were,from where they come from,what Gene's they had....?
@@lianko2000 yes we know ,first greek that migrated were mycenaean Greeks,you know big walls linear b.second were Dorian Greeks. new alfabet,numbers,philosophy....But we don't know from where they come from,what happened with first greeks,and many more things.greek history started in 13c bc.not with herodotus.
You can do your own research. Do you expect the answer in a KZhead video. There whole courses about that with theories about neolithic farmers from Anatolia plus two invasions from the north etc Dorian one
South of Italy is the ancient Albanian's (Arbresh) the ancient people of the balkans are Albanians. You still find people that have kept their cultural in Sicily. Please check out who the Airbrush people are and how they ended up in south of Italy.
dont expect any zioversity to tell you the truth , period ! just read the originals, the first medieval english dictionary had a about 2,500 words , greek has over 6 million word forms and 72 verb forms !
Fact is, most Greeks lived in small rural communities, and villages and towns, not big Polis! They were largely peasants throghout their history!
Greeks are a mix of Albanians, Vlachs, Turks and Slavs.
"Albanians" are a mix of proto Greeks (Tosks) in south - Ghecgs (Illyrian-Turkish-Slav-Thracian Remix) in north (no idedinty until 1700 and called themselves proud turks as they were muslims).Probably you are a cham seeing of your profile. Maybe you should check when muslim chams learned the Albanian language. Albanian language was taught in Epirus in muslim populations schools after the Youth Turk revolution in 1908 that stopped the Macedonian Struggle between Greece and Bulgaria. After the mass convertions in islam during 1800s in Epirus, especially Thesprotia/Cameria region and the albanian nationalism when Ali Pasha broke his relations with the ottomans the ballshit started between Christians/Muslims local population in the pressure to chose an ethnic state. Keep in mind that 'cameria/thesprotia' is a local and not ethnic term so the christian chams never learnt the Albanian language in schools in first place. Christian locals wanted to be part of Greece while muslims wanted to be part of an idepedent Albanian state.
Large ant eaters.
The Greeks are a mixture of ancient Europeans and Indo-Eropeans from the Wolga steppes, who brought the language and the horses, and most of the culture..
Who were ancient Europeans ?and you sayed Indo-Europians as they weren't that same as first Europeans .So who were them.Are you referring to Vinca civilization, and later migrations of today western Europe ancestors?
@@mrsmith1207 ffs , even chickens in my garden knows the Greek history is bullshit , dont go back 2500 years, i will sughest to read greek history 200 years ago, let me know if you can find anything pls
All Europe is that mixture but in different persentages
Ancient Europeans were the same people but shifting to IE languages very late shift, no one knows how this transformation happened. There is very little mtDNA sharing between European and indian people but very high similarities in Y haplogroup. Female population of Europe and india is same since last ice age but male haplogroup is relatively new in these regions at best 4000 years old. Aryan (proto IE people) concord both the areas and raped their womem on mass scale, probably something like Mongols in medieval era. But IE impact was long term and long lasting.
@@babispapoulidis957 Exactly, a varying mixture of 1. paleolithic hunter gatheres (highest percentage in the north) 2. neolithic "early European" farmers, highest percentage in Basque country, Sardignia, generally the south 3. Indoeuropeans, the European language closest to proto-Indoeuropean us Lithuanian.
The Pelasians were the indigenous people of the area we now know as Greece. Herodotus tells us this. The Greeks were immigrants from the north.
Pliz when talking about spartan expand the speech a bit - spartan origin and what the name spartan ????? because Sparta was an Albanian tribe that spoke Albanian- and the word Spartan only the Albanian language translates it ( Spartan -> shpata ⚔️ Albanian -> means (sword ⚔️ ) ( Greek σπαθί⚔️ )

Alexandros the great 🇬🇷
Hellens, mythology, one language, one source ??? Bad start...
Not only the language was different for each period of history, but even at the same time Athenians and Spartans couldn’t communicate with each other without a translator
The Hellenes believed they all descendent from the Moon, while the Illyrians which were the majority were the people form the Sun/stars. Both Illyrians and Hellenes are branches of Pelasgian populations. The video talks about Pelasgians that lived in modern day Greece, Albania, Turkey, Italy, ancient Thracia and Egypt. Even during later periods, Alexander was Illyrian and Macedonian and all his soldiers were Illyrians. Homer did not speak Greek, he spoke Illyrian.
Dear Dr. Andrew Bayliss, what your refer to Greeks are actually a conglomeration of diverse Illyrian tribes, that inhabited the southern part of the Illyrian peninsula!
Not really, Illyrians were a different indo-european population. They were related in a certain degree to thracians, not to ancient greeks.
@@titititirca3109 Not even. Ivan Georgiev made the theory and demolished it again himself Thracians had common DNA with Greeks from the Bones that were Tested in Kazanlik, Doxipara and Stara Zagora Also if you check well, Thracians involved almost every time to the Greek internal politics and culture Aristophanes used irony when an Athenian leader was known to be a polyglot and he couldn't speak Thracian while Thracian is Greek with a Barbaric accent as he reffered in the 1663th paragraph at his artwork named Ornithes. Also Xenophon and Aristotle never labeled them as foreigners and many others...... Check names toponyms hydronyms and art. All similar. Yes cultural exchange took place, both trade and treaties but many things don't just fall from the sky..... Since Thracians until archaic period were reported to be more technologically advanced from Greeks and always way more populous..... The chances on a Greek influnce on Thracians were little to none..... Cuisine Fighting tactics Language Arts Religion Diplomacy Mythology Names And some Traditions were the same..... They were akins.... If DNA proves it, it's all over..... Just like Balts and Slavs, they're relatives but not this distant I don't like to be Hellenocentric because I'm Greek (even though I oftenly do the opposite and Dehellenise certain stuff) but it is what it is...
Well done
You see my albanian friends all the world talk about ancient greek not ancient albanianturk😂
The Hebrews came to Greece when Babel fell! They ruled Sicyon, Greece. Noah sons came to Greece yet each called it by their own names. The History of Sicyon Athens was not the oldest city in Greece. That honor goes to Sicyon, a city located near Corinth. Interestingly enough, Sicyon ceased to be an important city during the flowering of Corinth, beginning in 1069. When Corinth became subject to internal strife during the reign of Periander, Sicyon again rose to prominence under the Tyranny of Clisthenes. It quickly achieved a high degree of prosperity and fame. The ancient city-state of Sicyon lasted 1000 years, according to Apollodorus and others. Its prominence blanketed the millennium from 2063 to 1063. That the figure should be exactly 1000 years has troubled many a historian. Yet that is the plain record of history. When will men learn that the destinies of men and of cities and nations are in the hands of God who numbers all things! He determines the times and the seasons during which men rule. There were other ancient Greek historians who reckoned the history of Sicyon differently. The information preserved from their writings assigns Sicyon dominion for only 962 years - that is, from 2063 to 1101. Year 1101 is the time of the re-establishment of the Heraclidae at Sparta, 80 years after the fall of Troy in the First Trojan War. Both these views of the history of Sicyon are valid. The difference is only one of viewpoint. For during the years from 1101 to 1063 the old dynasty at Sicyon was displaced by priests of Apollo Carnaeus who were subservient to the Heraclidae. The original name of Sicyon was Aegialea. This Greek name was derived from the city's first king, Aegialeus. The name Aegialeus in Greek means "man of the coastland" or "shoreland" (Smith's "Classical Dictionary", art. "Achaia"). Compare this with the meaning of the name Eber, or Heber, from which the word Hebrew is derived. One of the root meanings of Eber is "shoreland" or "shoreregion." Another root meaning is "migrant." Both are very closely related. The ancient routes of migration usually took one along the shores of a river or along coastlands. The evidence unmistakeably points to the name Aegialeus as a Greek translation of Heber. In other words, Hebrews were among the settlers of ancient Greece. Elisha, son of Javan, also settled the Greek coastlands. From him the name Hellas came to be applied to Greece. Early influence of Hebrew people in the Grecian land is also recorded throughout Greek history. Witness the incursions of the Hyksos - the Edomite Heraclidae - a branch of the Hebrews. Later the Danites from Palestine appear. The influence of Hebrews in the Grecian land helps to explain one of the most remarkable events in the Gentile world - the choosing of the Greek nation to preserve the New Testament Scriptures. The Greeks knew of the God of Shem because the Hebrews, a Semitic people, dwelt among them. Two thousand years in advance God was preparing the Greek people for the preservation of His Word. Moreover the Greeks have preserved most of the history of the ancient world. Manetho has come down to us, not in the Egyptian tongue, but in the Greek language. The early history of Assyria is found in Greek, so also that of the early kings of Media. But to return to the kingship of Aegialea or Sicyon. Kings of Sicyon Lengths of Reign Dates Aegialeus-Heber father of the Hebrews 52 yrs 2063-2011 BC Europs-Europe father of Europeans 45 yrs 2011-1966 BC. The Red Branch of Judah also came from Calcol of Athens as well as Darda of Troy in Greece. 1 Kings 3:31 ESV 31 For he-King Solomon of Israel was wiser than all other men, wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite-the Gaelic tribes, and Heman-son stoned Joshua 7, Calcol-Cecrops dynasty of Athens, and Darda dynasty of troy, the sons of Mahol, and his fame was in all the surrounding nations. www.hwalibrary.com/cgi-bin/get/hwa.cgi?action=get_acthesis&InfoID=1351719928
Greeks didn't exist at that time! What you talking about?
Giuseppe Catapano: "Atlantida which disappeared 12,000 years ago, was the land of the Illyrians/ Pelasgians (ancestors of Albanians), who escaped the flood of Atlantis and began new civilizations on all continents, especially in Europe, Africa and small Asia ". THOTH spoke Albanian! Thot means "to say" in Albanian Language. A study recently published in Science Magazine 2023 proves the antiquity of the Albanian language, which is much earlier than the Greek and Armenian languages > 8000 years old. Sanskrit, old Greek, and Latin languages are already dead. The Albanian Language is still alive. Albanian is the indo-european language.
The villages of the Greece all of them before have a different name you don’t know what you are talking when you are talking about pelazgian and illirian they are Albanian nobody can’t hide
What stupid things you say
Pelagic and Illyrians are two (2) whole different things,Albanians to.. nothing common with them
Why do you involve Macedonia (map) in the "Ancient Greek World", wich they did not belong. The river Peneus was the frontier between Macedonian Kingdom and Greeks city state, ...
Macedonia was a hellenic Kingdom, Macedonia army was a Panhellenic army and all graves found have Greek letters and names.Macedonians used the -olis in their cities which porves the fact that their language was medival Greek, probably mixed with thracians.There werent countries until 18th century, in ancient times there were only city states. Even today ancient Macedonia lands are in modern North Greece even tho the majority of ancient macedonians moved to Papal states during ottoman occupation as Romans.
You are talking about ilirian history ,
nah pelasgian because illyrians thracians dacians phygrians hellenic are pelasgians and he speak about for hellenic history
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a result of the Slavic invasion, the current Greeks have their origins in slav. Maybe the rest of the islands remained isolated.
Falmerayer's theory is outdated, his counterparts were making fun of him. Genetics (but also linguistics, the Greeks spoke Greek not Slavic) showed that there are differences between the Slavic population and Greeks. Genetic studies showed that the southern Slavs in Skopje (you call it Northern Macedonia) are similar to the Greeks while different from the other Slavs this means that they were Greek populations with Greek origin that were slavized
also the populations in the western part of Turkey have nothing to do with the populations in the depths of eastern Turkey The populations of western Turkey are genetically close to the Greeks and their culture more with the Aegean sea, so it would be best for them to secede and create their own independent state.
My grandparents came from asia minor so they can't be slavs
Greek has nothing to do with slavic.
Yes the Greeks are a Slavic mix
PLZ this is all illyrian history
Yes 👍🏽 only if you take too many 💊 😂
The Albanians are most probably the descendants of the ancient Illyrians who were colonized after the seventh century BCE by the Greeks and subsequently by the Romans. During the Middle Ages, modern-day Albania formed successively parts of the Byzantine, Bulgarian, Serbian and Angevin-Norman empires.

Bravo ! Let them see who is bulgarian ! Helenism was a culture only like Slav culture after that . And they took the name Helas the same like Slovenia took the name from cultural trend called Slovenisation ! For Albania there is no other thesis about a name except Albany district in Roman Empire and the Albanian language is indoeuropean nearest to Persian !
