Neander
may I remind you that The ancient Argeiads came from Pelloponese to Thessaly to Pieria And Kick Thracian Tribe Like Pieri,
Also if they were Illyrians then why their worst Enemy was Dardania????
Now Makedonia Means long hair in Attic and Cousin In Greco Thracian-Vrygian
Homeric Greek: ammatho êmathoessa, sandy land , PIE *samadh ; the coastal, swampy land around Axius river, in contrast to mountainous Macedonia .
The connection with Albanian MAT is Mistaken,
Ematheia is Part of Argeiad Territory as Pieria,
The connection you are writting is Wrong, the Area was Thracian and invaded By Greek in order to coonect with the Vrygians, in Fact the Thracians of the Area are not Pelasgoi But Leleges if you connect with Agrinio Greece,
That can be also proved that Pelasgian lived east of Chalkidiki in an Area where Argeiads had no Troubles,
for your information Aigea The capital is after the name of ancient Aiginion in Histia in thessaly, as also Pella means old like mt Pellion,
The Makedonians were the aeolians that invede Upper Makedonia (west)north of the cities of Phyllakai,
May I remind you that Phyllakai in Thracian Serdi -Seldi (in english soldier),
Even today that area is Named Servia from far ancienty, and the people are Shurdi from Sherdi - Sherdana -Sardeis etc
How Yes no knows about that, and connected them with R1a, although in dorian south we have drop of %,
the only connection that Argeiads have with Illyria is the area of Korce (Κορυτσα) and Girokaster (Αργυροκαστρο) and the the area of Ohrid that were in the counsil of Hettairoi,
now about the illyrians read better Herodotus, and translate the words mistaken
The lands around Aegae, the first Macedonian capital, were home to various peoples. Macedonia was called Emathia (from king Emathion) and the city of Aiges was called Edessa, the capital of fabled king Midas. According to legend, Caranus, accompanied by a multitude of Greeks came to the area in search for a new homeland
[5] took Edessa and renamed it to Aegae. Subsequently, he expelled Midas and other kings off the lands and he formed his new kingdom. A
ccording to Herodot, it was Dorus, the son of Hellen who led his people to Histaeotis, whence they were driven off by the Cadmeians into Pindus, where they settled as Macedonians. Later, a branch would migrate further south to be called Dorians.
It seems that the first
Macedonian state emerged in the 8th or early 7th century BC under the
Argead Dynasty, who, according to legend, migrated to the region from the
Greek city of
Argos in Peloponnesus (thus the name Argead).
[7] The Macedonian tribe ruled by the Argeads, was itself called Argead (which translates as "descended from Argos").
as you see Neander the connection of @e mathe@ is mistaken,
cause in Greek-Pelasgian MAK-ros means one dimension very big
Mek-os MAk-ros is the length and makros the far Big
find the word ΜΑΚΡΥΣ In your lexicon
now in pelasgic means Mak-edi (far away cousin or the tall fillia φυλλη) the edi is Vrygian and ethi (ethin) the greek and we find it in many thracian tribes like Maedi Bythini-Bethini etc
Ethi pass to mean the today ethnic Ethnos
MAk-Edi ->MAkedi ->makedonian
about the meaning of tall MAk-tribe
the tribe of the tall people, although we know that Phillip and Argeiads were short
or the far away cousins relatives
Phillip 1,68 m according the vergina tomb
Ematheia cames
either from PIE sand land
either from king Ematheion of Thrace (Samothace-Emathothrace)
Makedonia is the area that Argeiads unite and ruled.
Pieria Ematheia Bottiiea Bissaltia (Bissedi) Syntica, Servia, Aenae Balla Eordaia etc
later a roman province
in byzantine was the name of Bulgaria, etc
the connection with Illyria is incoorect cause
1 Makedonians always in war with Dardania,
2 Makedonians ally were the Molloseans Epirotans who invade Illyria, and had Later Pyrros
The before MAkedonian Capital of ematheia was Κιτιον kition which is an Arcadocypriot word
you can find the name of kition in many areas as also the 1rst name of cyprus
the before Makedonian capital of Pieria was Λειβυθρα Leivethra
which is a very ancient toponym that connects with Phoenician
probably like other Pelasgian or Leleges, toponym word is Semitic and means either Leibun (a holy pine tree) or Levi (holy man-priest)
we know that cause LeiBethra is near MAkedonian holy city of Dion,
and if Neander you still insist Find about Pieri,
now about Homer ^ Iliad 14.226
now about Makedonians Illyrians always in war,
about the tall tribe I explained it to you in Pelasgian, not IE
About the ancestors of Illyrians read about Cadmus,
About the ancestors of Albania seek for Anju and Normands
Besides Makedonians invade that area 300-400 after Hommer
In Order to connect with Brygians
in fact History proves that Makedonians and Illyrians were in Hate, except 3 Kings of areas I report above
REMEMBER THAT PAIONI FOLLOWED ALEXANDER BUT DARDANI DID NOT FOLLOW HIM
AS ALSO REMEMBER THE SKUDRA
Neander you are maybe right,
But albanian language is not the only that kept pelasgic,
2nd excavations proves what History says,
3rd THE MAKEDONIANS KICK THE THRACIANS TO EAST (PIERI TRIBE)
The MAkedonians took the land of Bryges and Bethini who moved to asia minor
so what ancient people??
THE BRYGES AND THE PAIONI WERE NOT PERSO or ILLYRO-THRACIANS
BUT GRECO-THRACIANS
now about the Ancient Makedonians what were they History and excavations and Language is Clear
now about Albanian LAnguage I am Sure that it is precious But changes meanings of many words,
as example Ematheia is the toponym IN PIE of sand,
sand in Greek Koine is Ammos in Homerick is Emathos
so the land of EMATHOS is EMATHOESSA which in Greek becomes EmathoeDa-> Emathoea-Ematheia
besides at Homers Time that Area was under King Ematheion
the simmilarity is just a coinsindance,
If a third meaning from Albanian Language it is acceptable, but in that case does not prove connection of Makedonians with Illyrians, But a Geografical area with tall people as described in Illyrian Language
Emathe land of tall people, does it says they are Illyrians?
to be more understood Scotia is Greek name for Scotland means the Dark LAnd, does that mean that Scotish are GrecoBrittish???
cause that is what you say, because @emathe@ means tall in Illyrian then Ematheia is Illyrian
ok then with your logic England in Greek is Albionia,
You see In Greek means that England is Albania, so English are Albanians,
is it logic???, Ematheia in Albanian language means the tall, but that does not mean that they were Albanians,
Espagna in Greek means dedicated to god Pan (Phanus), does that mean that Spanish people are Greeks?
Russia means the red people land in Greek, but that does not mean the Russians are Greek,
or the name Russian is Greek, it comes From Ros PIE word
now about the blind thank you,
I prefer to be blind than one eye Neander
now about @e mathe@ who knows maybe the King of Samothrace was Illyrian,
But not the Argeads
For Your Information The Ancient Makedonians were Greek
The ancient PIERI BRYGES BETHINI were PELASGIC LELEGES THRACIAN, NOT IILYROTHRACIANS NOT PERSO THRACIANS NOT DACI THRACIANS,
in the lands of the Above settled the GREEK MAKEDONIANS
besides the Perso-Thracians are the today south slavs as genetick seems to lead to that conclusion
