For now it seems most probable that that brnjica were proto-paeonian. I don't know how much I am convinced of those early dates, im sure some early migration would have started, but surely the bulk must have happened when belegis waa also moving into and taking over dardanian regions?

In trying to pin the origin of the contested balkan Dardani, one of the problems with linking them to the Glasinac-Mati culture (which Lippert 2022 states "corresponds entirely to the Illyrian personal name area") is the name "Dardanus/Dardania" appearing in the Aegean & Thrace. While we have...

In his 2020 paper, Ruppenstein argues that the Dorians were pushed south by migrants from the Brnjica culture, who had likewise been pushed south by the Belegis II - Gava (Channelled Ware). (Reminder that Bruzmi used to try claim that Brnjica culture didn't actually exist, and he was still...

Just to add to you, stamped pottery also appears in Troy: "c. The appearance in Troy of fragments of pottery with stamped decoration,56 characterizing the Babadag II phase and the related cultural groups (Insula Banului, Psenicevo, Cozia, Saharna-Solonceni), indicates that the transition from...

" The OP goes around and creates fake internet maps of a proto-Albanian homeland which supposedly included Bulgaria and he has quoted Matzinger but this is not even what Matzinger is saying. Nowhere does he say Albanian was spoken there" That's a lie, here is where he states it clearly:

"or more probably Greek merchants in the Balkan hinterland − and Proto-Albanians from the 8th century BCE on." So proto-Albs most probably got their small amount of greek loans from balkan hinterland greek merchants, not adriatic coast greeks. Thanks for that.

Interestingly, Duridanov also seems to have seen a possible link between the name of the Dentheletae and the Albanian word "Dhen". Funnily enough, Jokl's counter argument for the etymology of Dentheletae is the same as Hyllested and Joseph's argument for this Albanian word (i.e. the tamed)

Matzinger's direct quote:

Nowhere does Matzinger say hkadra, that is torzio's misreading. Matzinger has given the form it should have in Albanian if this was an inherited toponym from the pre-roman era: *Hádër

It truly is remarkable. He is some irrelevant nobody trying to claim the authors of these papers (Barry Molloy is an Irish archaeologist of the Aegean from the University of Dublin, for example) know less than him and are "fringe" as opposed to him (?), and that this culture they are writing...

He was diplomatic about it, but its in the photo in the back, he says Shkodra shows Albanian development, but of the same era as when it got the latin loans, i.e. this toponym was learnt only at the same time as when Albanians got latin loans. The photo in the back says that sk would be h in...

Also, important to point out that the Central Balkan cultures were in contact with the North Aegean and south Carpathian.

Here comes the brain dead zombie bruzmi boot licker and worshipper doubling down. This is entirely false, and you have full papers by archaeologists, not fringe conspiracy theorists, that are about this culture. From the paper linked above: "The basin of the Južna Morava, as well as the...

Another possible takeaway from this is that some Brnjica survived in its original territory, although becoming a minority to the channeled ware Belegeis Gava II (Thracians proper?), while some other Brnjica moved south into Paeonia and Macedonia pushed by Belegis. In the paper it mentions that...

Also, important reminder that the crook bruzmi really tried to claim that the massive brnjica culture documented in this paper didn't exist. Never let him get away with his lies.

So one possible takeaway is that the Belegis Gava II went south and reached all the way to Troy. On their way they pushed Brnjica south, where those Brnjica people either became proto-Paeonians or proto-Macedonians, while the Belegis Gava II were the Dardani.

His barbarian nature still shines through, but it is amusing to observe.

The fact that Appian also designates Triballi, Perhabi, Maedi, as Illyrians, and that he thinks Pannonians and Paeonians are the same thing shows how untrustworthy and non-definitive his account is.
