Albanians tried to throw this video down and they succeeded in sound only. Truth hurts to you Albanians doesn't it? New version of the video with Ancient Greek Music added.

A quick description of the Illyrian Helmet.
We can see the similarities of the Illyrian and Corinthian Helmets thus proving that Illyrians were Dorians, which was a Greek Tribe.

The "Illyrian" type helmet originated in ancient Greece from the Peloponnese in around the 7th century BC.The accurate representations on Corinthian vases are enough to show that the Illyrian helmet had developed, before 600 BC It was a type of bronze helmet which in its later styles covered the entire head and neck, and was open faced in all of its varieties. The helmet was named as an "Illyrian" type due to a large number of early finds coming from Illyria.

Apparently (judging from archaeological evidence) the helmet was an evolution of the Kegelhelm or Kegel type of the archaic era found in Argos. The "Illyrian" type helmet did not obstruct the wearer's critical senses of vision though the first two varieties hampered hearing. There were four types of these helmets and all were open faced. * Type I (ca. 650 BC) left the neck unprotected and hampered hearing. * Type II (ca. 600 BC) offered neck protection and again hampered hearing. * Type III (ca. 550 BC) offered neck protection and allowed better hearing. * Type IV (ca. 500 BC) was similar to Type III but hearing was not impaired at all.

The primitive Corinthian helmet's design was effected to a small degree to by that of Type I and they were used simultaneously. Peltasts and cavalry found great use of this helm. The Illyrian type helmet was used by the ancient Greeks, Scythians and became popular with Illyrians who later adopted it[8][9].A variety of the helm had spread to Italy as well. The helmet became obsolete in most parts of Greece in the early 5th century BC.Its use in Illyria had ended by the 4th century BC.

The Illyrians was Greek race, the Albanians came here in the Balkans by the Turks (turkalbanians) to fight the Greeks, and after the war stayed here, the Albanians are NOT Greeks.
