Macedonians

Albanians have to do a lot with the Greek history as long as both ethnicities descent from paleo/Balkans ethnolinguistic people. It would be normal after all

Not enough loan words between the two languages to be neighbors for at least 3000 years. We have more loan words from the Turkish than Albanian and we were only neighbors and subjects for 4 centuries.

So they are Thracian?? 1500 BC Thracian tumulus in Macedonia? Right?

Nobody said they are Thracian.
You said they were Illyrians and now you say are thracian


But with NO evidences ,
Just a personal claim and your opinion

So your Post is not to be taken Serious,
Come ask The archaiologists

other wise you just are a volunteer for Personal opinion evidences Scholar.

And what 1500 BC?
at 1500 Both Myceneans and Greeks were in their known Lands,
and Illyrian were in Austria, and original Albanians at Dacia.

So Bye Bye personal Opinion,

Cetina related with Mycenaean civilization come on this is a joke not Seima -Turbino. Considering also lack of R1b so far and minimal step for sure Seima - Turbino.

Do not forget to eat, maybe dinner will calm you.

I don't forget anything......just to clarify Members of this Forum.
For many years Greek archeology has tried to establish a connection between Tumulus burials (Kurgan Culture) and Mycenaean Culure.
But according to The Horse, the Wheel, and Language: How Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World, David W Anthony and https://www.historyfiles.co.uk/KingListsEurope/GreeceMycenae.htm

"The Mycenaeans were West Indo-Europeans, part of a much greater expansion and migration of Indo-Europeans (IEs) from the northern shores of the Black Sea and Caspian Sea. A general consensus of scholarly opinion was that they migrated into Eastern Europe from the Pontic-Caspian steppe in the period between 3300-2600 BC. After having left the main westwards migration of proto-IE around 2500 BC, they gradually blended into the indigenous population in the lower Balkans (the Pelasgians) between then and 2000 BC. However, in recent years that idea has undergone some refinement.
Clearly the Mycenaeans were part of an imported steppe culture. But the close relationship between Mycenaean and proto-Indo-Iranian languages shows that these two branches divided fairly late, sometime between 2500-2000 BC. Archaeologically, Mycenaean chariots, spearheads, daggers and other bronze objects show striking similarities to the Seima-Turbino culture (between about 1900-1600 BC) of the northern Russian forest-steppes, known for the great mobility of its nomadic warriors (Seima-Turbino sites have been found as far away as Mongolia). It is therefore likely that the Mycenaeans descended from the steppe into Greece between 1900-1650 BC, where they intermingled with the locals to create a new, unique Greek culture. Naturally, as the new dominant force in the region, their language would also have dominated. The locals had gained between 62% and 86% of their DNA from people who had introduced farming from Anatolia as part of 'Old Europe'. They would have adopted this language fairly quickly and, if not them, then their children or grandchildren would have, which is why modern Greek expresses its IE origins so clearly. However, the IE influence on DNA in Greece was more subtle than across much of Europe, showing that these Mycenaean IEs arriving in Greece were less in number than some of their IE cousins.

The new proto-Greek speakers covered a swathe of territory that reached as far north as Epirus. They emerged into the archaeological record rather suddenly, with the appearance of shaft grave royal burials around 1650 BC. but, whilst the first city states had emerged by 1600 BC (the same time at which Mycenaean culture also appears on Cyprus), the Mycenaeans did not form one nation state. Instead they banded their independent city states together under one leader in times of trouble. During their own time they were known primarily as Achaeans, after the Achaea region of Greece."

So there is no relation between tumulus burials and Proto-Greeks, by 1500 BC there were no Greeks neither in Macedonia nor in Epirus. The Mycenaeanization of Macedonia (close to Mount Olympus) started later as stated in this research.

And it seems that while gathering this info I might have had a brain stroke according to Yetos with illuminating effects.

P.S.It is so fun to see Yetos Bouncing around like a wind-up toy just to deny the obvious, by 1500 BC there were no Greeks neither in Macedonia nor in Epirus.

Have a good day.

What ever your heart desires

But it is obvious you really do not history not only of illyrians, But of Greece and Balkans generally.

Notice the bellow


Illyrians are the people who enter Balkans from Noricum Austria 2 milleniums after the Greek existance,

Btw I have fun
your links and posts are indeed funny

The area of protoGreek

As you see Illyrians at that Era were in Alps,
and Albanian language was far more East and North.


HISTORY IS NOT ONLY GEOGRAPHY BUT ALSO TIMING.
And if you do not want to be the funny guy, realize the above.

BLEVINS YOU STILL BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE AN ANCESTOR OF MYCENEANS AS YOU CLAIMED BEFORE FEW YEARS?
 
by 1500 BC there were no Greeks neither in Macedonia nor in Epirus.
And this was exactly the situation 100 years ago. History is really interesting.

Member of the forum here you have a bad example of people that instead of presenting counter arguments in form of academic research as I did for the origin of Mycenaean and their connection to Macedonia, they start talking about me( what I know and what I don’t know, and Illyrians and Albanians off topic) and post youtube videos. Anyway I presented to the forum members that there is a switch now from what was initially thought for Mycenaean origin. Most likely their origin is related to Seima -Turbino phenomenon as explained above. They have no relationship with Kurgan culture and tumulus burials in Macedonia and Epirus at 1,500 B.C.
Feel free to oppose this but with proper academic research.

when you have an based argument, and not just confusion, spam, and fogy opinions,
Go ahead bring it we will read and I will discuss it

At Least do you realize now that YOUR Hideous spam, (Illyrian Mark is just your empathy and Mania?

Until now you brought nothing, for discuss.
in a Thread for Makedonians you mixed up Seima-Turbino, Steppes, what next? Altaic mountains or Caledonian Dna?

Your answer is given above,
split of proto Greek is about 3000 BC

Tumulus burial (generally accepted as marker of Illyrians) in Macedonia close to Mount Olympus before Mycenaean expansion



THIS IS NOT EVEN TO Be DISCUSSED
not to use word disgusting
cause provides an empathy, a mania, or hidden effort to persuade someone for wrong facts.
besides it is tottaly wrong, and says nothing in Link as you claim.

I laid down academic sources and non for the link that exist between Mycenaean (verified Linear B Greek language1450 BC) culture and Seima Turbino Culture as follows:
1.book The Horse, the Wheel, and Language: How Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World.
By David W. Anthony, 2007 page 447

2. Eupedia page on R1a Greek Branch
https://www.eupedia.com/europe/Haplogroup_R1a_Y-DNA.shtml#Greek

3. The history files
https://www.historyfiles.co.uk/KingListsEurope/GreeceMycenae.htm

4. Ancient Metallurgy in the USSR: The Early Metal Age By Evgenil Nikolaevich Chernykh page 203

I invite the members of this forum to go through this information and draw their own conclusions.
If the above is true than Kurgan people in Macedonia in 1500 BC have nothing to do with Proto Greeks and Mycenaeans. Their Hellenization happened afterwards.
I will show Accademia research of Illyrian Kurgan relation in a second step and at a proper thread.

Not enough loan words between the two languages to be neighbors for at least 3000 years. We have more loan words from the Turkish than Albanian and we were only neighbors and subjects for 4 centuries.

Yes, you have from Albanian if you put aside the albaniphobia. And Turkish was the language of government for many years.

Albanian and Greek languages share a lot between them, especially the Tosk alban. While Gheg have very ancient loanwords from Greek.

If you'll see the Illyrian map, most of Illyrian speaking areas are lying away from the Greek influence.

There were distinct branches of proto Illyrian. The southern ones located in northern Greece moved into Anatolia circa 1200bce as so called Mushki people (Phrygians, Armenians)

The Greek myth, says that Hellenes and Persians had a common ancestor. Seems they were right.

Tracians were probably the first IE people settling in Balkans. It would be interesting to know what was their R1 Y-dna branch.
