It's true that Romans were brutal to Dardans, cause they didn't want to acknowledge they were connected to Dardans that went to Italy and created Rome. Although there were almost 12 Illyrian tribes that went over and settle to Italy before Rome became Rome. Despite all things Romans did to assimilate the Dardans, and the southern Illyrians, they could not succeed with that. Most of the northern Illyrian, Dacian(Gaetian), and Thracian were Romanized, that's why it was also easy for them to be Slavicized later on as well, while it was more difficult for Slavs and Serbian Slavs to assimilate most of the Dardans(Kosovars) and the south Illyrians, which are today Albanians.

[@wankawanka3053]

[@Dardanian.Kingdom]

that with the romans were brutal to dardanians yes it was in bellum dardanicum(latin = dardanian war) they used to cut the hands of the dardanian archers but they never controlled the dardanians 100% because is was just another station to go further to the dacians and because of the dardanian-roman alliance against the macedonians they gave the dardanians a extra position the results were much dardanian emperors

@@InAeternumRomaMater If Albanians were nationalistic like the rest of our neighbors are, we would've not lost most of our territory and people. Now, what were the Messapi, Dauni, Japigi, Galabri and many tribes that came over to Italy from the Balkan area before Romans came to be? According to Italian professors, there are more Etruscan inscriptions found than Latin.

[@InAeternumRomaMater]

@@dios1ish868 All of those tribes weren't illyrian or related to any other Paleo-Balkanic people for that matter. And 2. Of course there's more Etruscan writings than Latin during the time the Latin tribes were pastoralists, but after the fall of Etruria to the Romans, Latin became dominant. Of course this is hard knowledge for an Albanian, your average IQ is 83. And land mass doesn't matter when it comes to nationalism, and even more so in a history context which is the part I am referring to

In the Aeneid, Aeneas when he came to the region of Latium, he encountered Evander, an Arcadian hero from a city of Arcadia, named Palladion, and who had already created the 1st settlement in the region, in the now known Pallatine Hill of Rome, and who had named it Pallantium, after the Arcadian city. Evander assisted Aeneas, recalling the common Arcadian origin with Aeneas's father, Anchises. So the Dardanians of the Iliad, according to the Aeneid, had Arcadian origins, and they are not the same people with the Illyrian Dardanians. Would be cool to see a video dedicated to Evander.

People need to know that the battle scenes feature neither the accurate uniforms nor fighting style of the period and are culled from video games. And I'm not sure where your source material comes from other than the hashtags of related material on youtube. Material which can often be incorrect, incomplete and at odds with generally accepted history. Not to be a killjoy, but we need to understand that most ancient history was written for patrons, political views and almost always by someone not that at the scene. Think about today and how 2 people can draw completely opposite conclusions from the TV news sitting next to each other in the same room. Now go back 3,000 years and think about how accurate any information can be other than what is based on archeology. The Iliad and Aeneid are great stories composed hundreds of years after the events they purport to relate. But neither is history. Still very entertaining I just hope as one student put it "yes, Mycenaean chariots have six spokes, I saw them in the movie "Troy", basing his or anyone's answer on information from a movie doesn't become the source of knowledge for any history.

[@WanaxTV]

I’m not sure what exactly you believe is at odds with generally accepted history? Also, none of the sources here are other KZbin videos or some hashtags(?), in fact this might be the only channel that did content on this topic. It’s based on the works of ancient historians and writers, it is 100% accepted as legitimate, aligned with the archaeological evidence and available for study in universities across the world.

First of all very good video thank you, i have some things to add i know that bardylis was dardanian it was called the dardanian raid of epirus for a reason , the dardanians not only looted the bastarnae camps they plus taked their kids and women as hostages that explains the retreat of the bastarnae, and a funfact when dardania became a province of the roman imperium it was important for the romans to rename it in moesia because in the old mythology aeneas was the founder of rome i think they dont liked that and very important dont let the hellenic tribes nowdays the greeks tell you dardania were greeks or hellenic dardanians never got Hellenized, overall thank you for the video

[@WanaxTV]

Thank you! I've read the thesis of Bardylis being Dardanian and how he might've been a ruler of a larger Dardanian kingdom. However, I wasn't able to find a single source to verify any of those theories. Dardania appears to be small and still largely insignificant during Bardylis' time. Also, it never spanned even close to Dassareti, which was Bardylis' main region. Although his exact tribe is unknown, it was more than likely one of the tribes between Macedonia and coastal Illyria, definitely not Dardania. Towards the end of the video, I did mention the emerging Romans using "Moesia" to label Dardania for those reasons. Thanks for the feedback!

Dardania is not a Greek name. Dardania draws comparison with Albanian from either Dardhe "pear" or Derth "to spill" You can literally look this anywhere and the results are always the same. Dardanos was the son of Illyrius (illyrians). He had 6 sons such as Encheleus, Autarieus, Dardanus, Maedus, Taulas, Perrhaebus as well 3 daughters Partho, Daortho, Dassaro. All of these names are Illyrian tribes that can be looked up and have connections with Albanian. Illyrius also had 2 brothers; Celtus (the Celts) and Galas (the Gauls). Greek mythology only explains Europe was carved out when the indo-europeans took over. It doesn't mean everything within the mythology is Greek. Also what Generals and Kings had pure greek names?

[@mr.researcher55]

That’s why Albanians were named after an Illyrian tribe "Albanoi", while Albanians called themselves Arberor before the word "Shqiptar" and Arberor comes from the Illyrian tribe Abroi, which was located in northern Albania.

It formed a convenient station for Corinth in her trade to the west, and could enter into rivalry with Corcyrа in acquiring such products as the pastoral inhabitants of the interior had to offer. From this city some knowledge of the Greek language and civilisation spread over the south of Epirus. At one time the country was very thickly populated; but if we set aside the part which it played at a much later time in the military events of Western Greece, Epirus is of little importance to the Greek historian.' 1 Od. xiv. 316. • Thuc. l.c.

Albanian Academic Professor Dr. Kaplan Resuli-Burovich: "The Albanian professors consciously hide the truth about the origins of the Albanians and, instead truth, to their pupils and students they serve up the lies about their autochthony and Illyrian origin.This is not done accidentally, but with the aim to incite the Albanians against the neighbouring nations" In terms of historical theories, an outdated theory is the 19th century theory that Albanians specifically descend from the Pelasgians, a broad term used by classical authors to denote the autochthonous, pre-Indo-European inhabitants of Greece and the southern Balkans in general. There is no evidence about the possible language, customs and existence of the Pelasgians as a distinct and homogeneous people and thus any particular connection to this population is unfounded. This theory was developed by the Austrian Johann Georg von Hahn in his work Albanesische Studien in 1854. According to Hahn, the Pelasgians were the original proto-Albanians and the language spoken by the Pelasgians, Illyrians, Epirotes and ancient Macedonians were closely related. In Hahn's theory the term Pelasgians was mostly used as a synonym for Illyrians. This theory quickly attracted support in Albanian circles, as it established a claim of predecence over other Balkan nations, particularly the Greeks. In addition to establishing "historic right" to territory this theory also established that the ancient Greek civilization and its achievements had an "Albanian" origin. The theory gained staunch support among early 20th-century Albanian publicists. This theory is rejected by scholars today. In contemporary times with the Arvanite revival of the Pelasgian theory, it has also been recently borrowed by other Albanian speaking populations within and from Albania in Greece to counter the negative image of their communities. In addition, the meaning of Albania's Dardania comes from the same Austrian Johann Georg von Hahn, and he proposed that the names Dardanoi and Dardania were related to the Albanian word pear, pear-tree.
