And yes we are tied more to the Albanians over the centuries than those Slavs.
+1.. TirAlb is much more logical than many Albanians I know too..

Its interesting to have a book author making wild claims related to ancient history without being able to provide any evidence to back any of them up. I admit i was dissapointed to figure out Giaffo fails to be aware of even basics about the era under discussion, yet his book that Albanian nationalists are using as somewhat valid source, contains lots about it. After reading Giaffo's confession that "he never pretended to be an established historian on those times" after his continuous blunders, i dont think there is any reason to waste our time with it.

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
This is what some Albanian consider pure scientific evidence of the origin of Alexander the Great !!

Men ....!!! At least you're more funny than the FYROMers !!!

Alexander the Great wasn't Greek...
Alexander the Great wasn't Slavo-Bulgar
Alexander the Great wasn't Albanian

.......because.......

Alexander the Great was ...."Great" from the Great alien Tribe of the "Greats" that invaded the earth in research for the rare metal "Greatinium" that makes possible time-travel with Dr. Emmett Brown's Delorian !!!
When it reaches 88 mph you say "GREAT Scott" and you travel in time with Alexander the "Great" and then ....:
