It is well known from the ancient writers that the Picts were polyandrous and that succession was consequently through females. Again, it is certain, both from the ancient Irish literature and also from statements of external writers, that the Irish were polyandrous, and that they also almost certainly traced descent through women. Accordingly, Professor Zimmer infers that the indigenous race was non- Aryan. But McLennan has long since pointed out that descent through women was the ancient law at Athens, and I have just shown that the Athenians and Arcadians, the autochthonous, dark-complexioned people of Greece, never spoke any save an Aryan tongue. Moreover, I have shown elsewhere that the Ligurians, who are now generally admitted to have spoken always an Aryan language, had descent through women, whilst I have also pointed out that there is good evidence that the ancient Latins, who have generally been taken as typical Aryans, had the same system. Again, it is admitted that the ancient Illyrians and dark-complexioned Thracians spoke an Aryan language, which, inasmuch as it differed materially in certain ways from that spoken by their Celtic overlords, must have been aboriginal, whilst I have further given grounds for believing that the ancient Iberians (though not the Basques) were also an Aryan-speaking folk. But there is good evi- dence that the Illyrians, melanochrous Thracians and Iberians all traced descent through women. In view of these facts it is useless to urge that because the Picts of Scotland and the ancient Irish had that system of succession through females these peoples must have been non- Aryan.

In like manner, the mountainous Basque region of the Pyrenees shelters the last remnant of the ancient Iberian stock, an nnclassed, if not aboriginal Allophylian race; while, among the mountains of Albania —like waifs caught in the eddy of the great western stream of population—are still found the Skipetar, another unclassed race, who, for ought that can be said to the contrary, may as truly represent to us the aboriginal Pelasgi of Greece, as the Basques undoubtedly do the Iberi of Spain.

As the Turks are the latest arrivals in the Balkan lands, so their Albanian subjects are the very oldest inhabitants of that region, not even excepting the Hellenes. They are the direct descendants of the Illyro-Pelasgian populations who certainly preeceded the advent of the Greeks, and must be regarded as the true aborigines of the peninsula. In prehistoric times their domain appears to have extended from the Lower Danube to the Mediterranean, and all the surrounding insular groups. But their Albanian representatives are now confined to the western seaboard between Servia and Montenegro in the north and Greece in the south, and at several points stretch inland to the Upper Morava and Vardar basins.

In Greece they are Pelasgian ; in Western Spain, Iberian ; in modern times, among the mountains of Albania, the Skipetar

The Butmir Culture was a culture in Butmir, near Ilidža, Bosnia and Herzegovina, dating from the Neolithic period. It is characterized by its unique pottery, and is one of the best researched European cultures from 2600-2400 BC.
The Butmir Culture was discovered in 1893, when Austrio-Hungarian authorities began construction on the agricultural college of the University of Sarajevo. Various traces of human settlement were found dating to the Neolithic period. Digs were begun immediately, and lasted until 1896.
The finds caused interest among archeologists worldwide. They were largely responsible for the International Congress of Archeology and Antrophology being held in Sarajevo in August of 1894. The most impressive finds were the unique ceramics, which are now found in the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Certain characteristics of the Butmir pottery designs made some suggest a connection to the Minoan culture on Crete. Of course this was during the same time that some suggested Troy was found in the Neretva river valley, and overwhelming modern opinion is that the Butmir people were a unique culture of their own in the Sarajevo area.
The culture disappeared during the Bronze Age, most likely conquered by the Illyrians who settled the area at the time. The Illyrian tribe who occupied the area after them were the Daesitates.

The question is why does Albanian flag have two eagles instead of one. Because Zeus had two eagles, one traveling on the east and the other on the west, symbolizing the extension of Zeus power in both western, eastern cultures

Po rikthehem tek pyetja juaj e pare; doni te dini per lidhjet pellazgo-ilire? S'pari, lidhja pellazgo-ilire mbeshtetet ne shtrirjen e dokumentuar te pellazgeve dhe perputhjen e kesaj shtrirjeje me kompleksin kulturoro-arkeologjik te Ballkanit/Egjeut, aty ku ne periudhen e mevonshme figurojne ne skenen historike dhe iliret.
Poashtu, edhe mitologjia ofron nje mbeshtetje bukur te madhe per lidhjet pellazgo-ilire, per shkak se shume personazhe eponime historike jane here bij te Pellazgut ose te botes pellazge here te Ilirit. Kesisoj nje shembull e gjejme edhe tek kjo gjenalogji:The modern Albanians, who are probably the lineal descendants, more or less mixed, of the ancient Illyrians, the close congeners of the aborigines of Greece...

Besoj qe nuk eshte e nevojshme ketu te rikujtohemi sesi Zeusi eshte pellazgjik, sesi tere tradita antike e identifikon Zeusin me pellazget etj. Ajo qe eshte e nevojshme te vihet ne pah eshte se Dardani - eponimi i fisit dardan(sipas Apianit) eshte biri i Ilirit. Pra, tere kjo perputhshmeri mitologjike i le vend dhe jep arsyeje pohimit per njejtesine pellazgo-ilire.
Kaq per sot, meqe nuk kam kohe me shume per te vazhduar pergjigjjen...
Nuk eshte vetem lidhja e birerise midis Dardanit dhe Zeusit qe sherben per ligjesimin e njejtesise pellazgo-ilire. Edhe nje varg heronjsh eponim te ilireve gjejne vend ne panteonin pellazgjik: Perrebeu, Lykaoni, Mesapi, Japygi, Peoni, Epirja etj.Arbëri wrote: Disi me duket shum e komplikuar kjo histori , ndaj dua te pys
Nese vertet eshte ashtu siq e shef shkenca , Dardani qenka djali i Zeusit kurse Iliri i bie si nip i tij ne mos te gaboj , dhe gjithe te tjeret siq shifet te postimi i AlbPelazgian , atehere cfare gjuhe tjeter kan mundur te flasin pervetem se ate qe e ka folur Zeus , pasi qenka kryeplaku i familjes ?
A-po ndoshta ka edhe falsifikime te historianet antik ?
Le te perpiqem te gjejme me sakte kush ishte ati i Ilirit?A later version of the myth identifies Polyphemus and Galatea as parents of Celtus, Galas and Illyrius.[5]
Po kush ishte babai i Polifemit, dmth gjyshi i Ilirit:Polyphemus (Greek: Πολύφημος, Polyphēmos) is the gigantic one-eyed son of Poseidon and Thoosa in Greek mythology, one of the Cyclopes. His name means "everywhere famous".[1]

Poseidoni eshte adhuruar ne Pellazgji te pakten prej kohes se bronzit!Poseidon (Greek: Ποσειδῶν) was the god of the sea, and, as "Earth-Shaker," of earthquakes in Greek mythology.[1] The name of the sea-god Nethuns in Etruscan was adopted in Latin for Neptune in Roman mythology: both were sea gods analogous to Poseidon. Linear B tablets show that Poseidon was venerated at Pylos and Thebes in pre-Olympian Bronze Age Greece, but he was integrated into the Olympian gods as the brother of Zeus and Hades.[1]
