Look at this traditional Albanian costume:



those are exactly the same clothes with the young guy in Knossos and unfortunately the same with Hector more than 3000 years ago.

So now the Albanians are not Illyrians, but Minoans. Please take your findings to a University and present them.

Here, are some more Minoans, oh I mean Albanians in typical dress.











Don't they look like Albanians

Yeah ok, and the Ottomans had different names for their villayets. So what.



Those same Romans called Epirus Greece

we know of no Greek before Pyrros who fought against Rome.

Pausanias, 1.11

Pyrros was the first to cross over against Rome from mainland Greece, and even so he went over only because he was called in by Tarentumâ

Pausanias, 1.12

"It was for this reason that Pyrros was defeated by the Romans also in a battle to the finish. For it was no mean or untrained army that he had, but the mightiest of those then in existence among the Greeks and one that had fought a great many wars; nor was it a small body of men that was then arrayed under him, but even three times as large as his adversary's, nor was its general any chance leader, but rather the man whom all admit to have been the greatest of all the generals who flourish at that same period;"

Dionysius of Halicarnnasus, Roman Antiquities, 19.11

"Pyrros, the king of Epirus, had a particularly high opinion of his powers because he was deemed by foreign nations a match for the Romans; and he believed that it would be opportune to assist the fugitives who had taken refuge with him, especially as they were Greeks, and at the same time so forestall the Romans with some plausible excuse before he should suffer injury at their hands. For so careful was he about his good reputation that though he had long had his eye on Sicily and had been considering how he could overthrow the power of the Romans, he shrank from taking the initiative in hostilities against them, when no wrong had been done him."

Because I choose to listen to the words of the ancients and not to someone like you?

No one else in the entire Balcan wears it, beside Albanian woman.
