6 years later and this is so funny to see :) Skanderbeg was called 4 times as Athletaa Christii from 4 different POPES. 4 times! This is the alliance! Skanderbeg family is buried everywhere, in Albania, in Montenegro, in Spain, in Italy and in mount Athos. It does not mean anything! Family...

I mean Greece is more than 80% a population replacement with the Albanian and Slavic contribution. Greece is the real Albaslavia in terms of Genetics.

I suppose it's F, sample I13519, but you never know. There is almost no information on these cases. Check this useless article by a greek portal: https://greekreporter.com/2023/06/13/ancient-dna-proves-griffin-warrior-greek/ Its basically not saying anything. So, an haplogroup F is now Greek...

If the Kruja - Komani are J2b-L283 dominated, the continuity is perfectly there. Case closed! You cannot pretend to have the continuity of all the population. Of course it would comprise the enlargement of the continuity to include the Daco-Moesian part and the Macedonian part. The fact that...

It appears that there is a strict policy of not uncovering the DNA origins of the antique skeletons in Greece. It is not a matter of numbers, as there might be a huge number of skeletal remains from hundreds of different spots in Greece. The problem is that the story of the ancient samples...

lag - in albanian "to wet".

moter - was really a "nurturer" in old albanian. Johann Georg von Hahn in 1850 made quite an interesting observation in some villages in North Albania. They called "mama" the young mother, then, when a mother had certain age the child called "mama" the oldest sister, which was basically the main...

You can put hundreds of variations of the word Pileus, but you can't nullify the fact that in each of our weddings from Konispol to Ulqin, and to Bujanovc in Serbia, we use our Plis-es/Qeleshe-s. We have more than 10 types of Plis-es. You can't have this ethnographic treasury. What people bring...

The Peloponnesus is very well-known for a large incoming migration from the Albanian areas in the early medieval ages. A large part of the population spoke arvanites in 1890, as the map from a German geologist shows. How can you do such a large study in 2016, while completely avoiding these...

You will never have published samples from ancient South Macedonia and ancient South Epirus. All that pileus (plis in Albanian) in those coins that is still used in Albania shows a little bit of what the DNA could hold. Too risky

R1b is mostly spread in Kukes, Mat, Skrapar and Laberia, spreading even the blondism and blue eyes in Albania.

For myself, it is more possible that some people from Yamnaya did stop firstly in Cinamake, Kukes, Albania, a wonderful place where two rivers are joined and beautiful mountains are all over the place. Those people stayed in that area for millenia, even before Myceneans. Nevertheless, few of...

Do you need other proto-Albanian clades to call as proto-Greek?

No, no, no, double assimilation is not everywhere. J2b is just 3.7% of Croatia. And just 2.7% in South Croatia. WHY? There is basically no assimilation by slavs. It's a just a J2b haplogroup (ethnic) cleansing by wars or other measures. Very few survived. The same in Montenegro. So, no double...

So you suggest the Illyrians were assimilated to Latin Language and then the Romanized population was assimilated to Albanian Language, while the slavic came in Montenegro and pushed the Albanians to the south. It is very hard to have one assimilation in one population, imagine having two...

It is great that a greek researcher with an albanian surname like Skurtanioti has written about the J2b-L283 in Peloponnesus. Arvanitis everywhere :)

Scodrion, the actual Shkoder (Scutari) in Albania

What about Gjader placename? Gjader being very similar to Hader, as expected by Matzinger. Illyrian population shifting at some point in another area 15 km south of the original Scodrion, and later on the place is repopulated with romans. After 2000 years we have two names of the same origin in...

Anyone read this: Romance in Contact with Albanian Walter Breu https://doi.org/10.1093/acrefore/9780199384655.013.421 Published online: 19 October 2022

So you mean all the illyrians helmets found in Cinamake Kukes should be considered "greek" helmets. So, all the production of iron and copper of the Kukes area should be considered "greek iron and copper". What about todays copper mines in Kukes? Is it still "greek copper"? The Cinamake Helmet...
