Why did the ILLYRIANS conquer the world?

According to the Greek mythology quoted by Apollodorus, Illyrius was a founder of Illyrian genus. Illyrius was a son of Phoenician Cadmus and his wife Harmonia. By the orders of his father Agenor (the king of the Phoenicia) Cadmus had to go to search his sister who was kidnapped by Zeus. Since Cadmus did not able to find his sister and after a time spending in wandering he finally stayed in Beotia in Greece where he found a city Thebes. After marrying Harmonia (daughter of the god of war Ares and goodness Aphrodite) by the order of the oracle, Cadmus went to Enchelei tribe where he became their king. As a king of the Encheleans, Cadmus within his wife Harmonia got a son Illyrius.

Big respect for Albanians. We Greeks have spoke the same language for centuries we are Arvanites we are Albanians.

[MrVito]

In the Albanian language there is no doubt the meaning of Illyrians. It quite literally means "Free People" . Ilir is a very common albanian name that means "He who is free" Who are these linguistic experts that dont even bother looking for this information?!

[iglaveli]

A lot of haters of the Albanian people would love for Albanians not to be descendants of ancient Illyrians but like how he mentions king Bardyllis in the video, and his name literally means white star in Albanian.

Greetings to my Albanian brothers. Ancestros of Illyrians. 🗿🫡💪🏻

[narditrading]

The truth is coming day by day about Illyria and Albania 🇦🇱, the history knows everything but the politics didn't accept but now everything is clearly

[patriotalbanian]

Funny thing is illiryans had so much land from Slovenia to Greece all belongs to illiryans but population was only about 2.3 million today we ILLIRYANS having so much little country but about 20 million population proud FOREVER TILL LAST BREATH PROUD ILLIRYAN 🇦🇱 💪

[AlbanianRebel]

Albanians and Croats are the real Illyrians even though Croats were assimilated by slavs.

Hi! I am a Dalmatian, from Split, I am actually a tour guide, I guide history tours in my hometown of Split.
Dalmatia is part of Croatia today (tribe from Kavkaz called Bijeli (white) Hrvati (on our language our country is Hrvatska) fought with the Slavs and Avars in the 7th century across Europe and came here in the 9th century when christianism was already strong) so today we are considered Southern Slavs (Yugoslavia), but we, across Balkan, especially here in Dalmatia, are in fact Illyrians.
My home town is literally a 1700 yrs old imperial palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian (predecessor of Constantine The Great). Further research showed that the palace could be standing on Solomon's temple.
We found layers of the ground that go back to the Neanderthals.
Christianism has roots here.
We Dalmatians fought against the Celts in the 6th century BC, then the Greeks, the Romans, the Slavs and Avars before Hrvati even inhabitated these parts. Then we fought with the Ottomans (they took Dalmatia for a short period), were ruled by the Venetians, the French, the Austrians and Hungarians, we were in the middle of Europe in the World Wars, later part of Yugoslavia which was destroyed in domestic war and a lot of blood was spilled, blood of brothers divided by politics and religion and nationalism. (also some other nations had agendas which are still very obvious)
War is our blood. Always has been.
This is one really important region, filled with crazy legends and myths, beautiful tradition, rich ancient lore, but also a place of never ending uncertainty. (should've/could've been better)
A lot is hidden in our wild history.
And then, somehow, you come to the conlusion that foundations of everything and for everything are laid here, this part of the world, OLD ILLYRIA.
And that, somehow, you are a little part of that story, connected to the history that goes more than 2500 yrs back.
Biggest flex of my life, ever.

albanians are not illirians, just modern narative make wrong direction by inventing a nation...
they would like to be somebody important, but unfortunely, they're NOT.

[D.H.Alb.]

Proud Albanian 🇦🇱🦅👐🏼 we are the descendants of Illyria. I lire means being free in Albanian language

[diosish]

Not sure of the Greek mythology, but Enechelus who were an Illyrian tribe asked Cadmus for help against other Illyrian tribes they were in war with. Cadmus helped and the Encheleaus won. After the win, all the Illyrian tribes accepted Cadmus as their leader and king and Cadmus named one of his son in their honor, Illyrus. Cadmus and Harmonia died in Illyria and it is said they were even burry in Durres(Epidamnus) or Shkodra(Scutari).

[blackcat.]

This is wrong. There were no Greeks back then. Helens are actually Illyrian tribe and spoke an Illyrian dialect. Greek is a recent invention lol. Ancient Helens spoke Illyrian dialect. That very reason is that so called Greeks today don’t speak it or even understand the old writings because they ware written in Illyrian.

[mm]

So greeks called them with an albanian word
If you write i liria in Google translate from albanian to english it means freedom

[ORIGJIN]

All albanian speakers from north Albanian and Kosovo and Macedonia knows the name Ilirian and give their children the name Ilir-Iliriana, because it’s pure albanian and there is no doubt about the meaning if you are a native Albanian.
The meaning is not at all controversial unless you don’t speak Albanian and so you can spread non senses about that, I must recall here: i lir/i liri = the one that is free, ill i ri/il i ri = new star
It’s the same symbole related to being free, being a star, that’s why it has been surviving for so long because these territory has been a matter of invasions for 3000 years almost now but Albanians still live in their lands continuously for 8500-9000 years at least confirmed by the oldest habitations on lake Ohrid found in Lin, Albania, University of Bern.
Because Albanian is a phonetic language, it necessary to start with the sounds and them see the writing which in this case has been rewritten by greco-slavic but Albanian being the mother language from at least 9000years old and didn’t needed to by written for thousands and thousands of years to be spread and used till ourdays because is the language that was always use at homes no matter the occupant or empire that was at different times.
So one is forced to admired the creativity of the language that is so old and still integrate all new words that most of them have a albanian root: crisis that is use all over the world, kris in Albanian mean that explose that is popping or big noise so the symbole of the word and his polysémie are so radically related to the meaning of the concept that moderns languages has construct and Albanian is the only one that can explain her words and words of other languages, so this power make it unique and very much modern and active, probably is the key to her survival all this time, the simple structure (phonetic in the first place) and the wealth of the vocabulary in words that contains from one to 3-4 letters to express a symbole that many moderns concepts are needed to say the same or to get close to it.
You want to know history before Christ, you want to connect the dots of humankind as a civilisation, you want to know the truth about who Albanians, Iliro-Thracian, Pellasgians and more are, start to study Albanian language and we better hurry up because the unification of the language during the dictature is now threatening the extinction of some anciens words that have been conserved mainly in north Albanian and if we don’t protect that dialect specifically that people still use around Shkodra we might lose a huge piece and tool of comprehension about the oldest language ever know that is still spoken.
Peace

I am very lucky that I subscribed to you, I learned something that I did not know, continue with this content!

[occasionalwind]

As an Albanian ... I'm proud of my Illyrian ancestors. Indeed we Albanians formerly known as Illyrians are Europe's oldest inhabitants.

[pietervija]

Dal Italia congratulazioni x il documentario

[janetmontgomery-rj]

Very fascinating... I don't know much about these peoples and it's good to find out their importance and place in history. Thank you

[rydanslogos]

Illyrian -i lire - to be free, pure Albanian, 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱

[clouds]

Illyria was a kingdom, their headquarters was in todays albania. Illyria has different meaning, Yll i Ri (new star), i lir jam, (i am free), I Lir (free), i Liri (the freedom). Our language is the most oldest language!
