How Alexander The Great was Albanian?

There are few places where Alexander the Great's influence has not been felt. His vast empire spread from the Atlantic shores of Spain to the plains of India. His example has been admired and followed for generations to come, and his legacy has been deeply felt by the entire world. It is said that Julius Ceaser himself began to weep as he stood under the shadow of a statue of Alexander the Great, for Alexander had conquered half the world by 19, and Ceaser not even made a name for himself by that age. And how was he Albanian in any way? Well, first of all Alexander was son of Philip II and Olympia. Olympia, was the princess of Epirus, a province in Northern Greece, considered to be modern day Albania, and an ancient territory of Albanian tribes. This relation of Alexander having Albanian blood is considered somewhat feasible and acceptable by the history books, but we want to stretch out the enigma of Alexander. Initially there is the question of where and to what people Alexander belonged to. It is known that Alexander the Great, was really Alexander of Macedon, and the current flag of Macedonia is the ancient sun flag of Alexander's army. This seems reasonable, but what really were the "Macedon" people. As stated in the Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia, "the Slavs, occupied much of the area [Balkans] by the 6th century AD", so it cannot be possible for the now largely Slavic Macedonia to be a descendant from Alexander the Great. Slavic tribes did not come into the region of Northern Greece until well after Alexander's death, which leaves only two people left, the Albanians and the Greeks. It is important tot note that the history books have not labeled Alexander Greek, and therefore he can only be Albanian. Albanian tribes are the earliest known to occupy northern Greece, and that allows Alexander only one nationality. Alexander did not have Albanian blood, he was an Albanian. To Albanians this fact seems very clear, for we have named our currency lek, after Leka I Madh. The Barbaric war style of the Illyrians was deeply rooted in Alexander's spirit, which is good reason for his expertise as a general and a conqueror. More proof of Alexander's Albanian ancestry would have to be the close relations he had with the King of the Illyrians, practically a man of his own kin. There is an ancient legend that the Illyrian king gave Alexander a large, beastly, dog to commemorate his achievements. The beast was so ferocious, Alexander decided to make it hunt bears. The dog showed no interest in this endeavor and lay lazily without moving. This angered Alexander and he had the dog killed. When the king of the Illyrians heard of this he sent him another dog, this time with a message of "not wasting the dog's time with small things". This time Alexander had the dog fight a lion, which the dog quickly broke the back of, and then an Elephant, who the dog forced off a cliff. The extensive diplomacy between Alexander and the Illyrians only suggests that Alexander was an Albanian himself. Also, there is the conquered territory of Alexander. When looking at a map of his advances, oddly enough Illirium and Northern Greece is not touched by his armies. Yet, the Illyrian and Northern Greek tribes did not have armies capable of facing the Great Alexander. But Alexander considered them as one, they were all Albanian. Alexander could not possibly conquer his own land. That is why this area remained untouched. Accepting Alexander's Albanian ancestry opens a vast world of possibilities. There is of course the long Ptolemy dynasty of Egypt that followed after Alexander's death, started by one of Alexander's generals and childhood friend. Accepting Alexander as an Albanian, would mean accepting a big part of Egypt's history to be determined by an Albanian dynasty, that of Ptolemy. Alexander's genius and accomplishments opened a great chapter in the history of Albania. A chapter that has never been forgotten.

@ErnestRama

Exactly. Who told you that Shqiptar is common to Illyrian ?

[BlediG1]

Potis......you are just an idiot. I guess you have no logic at all and stupid people have a word in this world even though it is stupid to even say that George Kastrioti was Greek it is insanity, which is our national hero. Proof for Greeks is the current reality. You people have 2 years that are keeping Europe hostage of your living beyond your means. We are tired of dealing with Greeks all Europe is with this spoiled child who deserves a lesson. I am so irritated at your idiotic comments.

@BlediG1

WHAT A LOVELY LOGIC...WHERE DID YOU FOUND THOSE INFORMATIONS?

WHAT SCRIPTS ARE WRITING THAT ALEXANDER WAS ALBANIAN, PIRO WAS ALBANIAN AND EPIRUS WAS ALBANIAN?

[BlediG1]

@ferinspin ......You don't follow logic. Alexander was just educated in Greece. He was never Greek, I am telling to you he was more Macedonian + Albanian, since his mother was from Epirus.....Piro was his uncle, that's where he stayed when he argued with his dad. He had bigger ambitions than his dad, inflicted to him by his demanding mother....What is wrong with you Greeks ? You always twist the history, always steal, you did the same with Egypt...stole everything there.

@bli321

Gay or not Alexander was Greek.

Illyrians were a Greek tribe. Now, if you insist to be Illyrian, be my guest my Greek friend.

[bli321]

@Georgios763 when I knew such a thing there was no google at all "friend!" I don't care about him, because he was a real GAY and I don't really want to analyze a gay, but Georgios , Illyrians were those who built Greece - you can google this! we have a proverb: "We have been hit by the wheel" - it means we are were we are today because of many invasions ! That's why you can talk today like this! Anyway thanks for your comment!

@bli321

You can simply google it .... no more to say and analyze useless subjects.
