macedon

The Albanian people (Albanian: Shqiptarët) believe they are the descendants of a Paleo-Balkans people, perhaps the ancient Illyrians or the Thracians and Dacians.
"Ilirian God" as demonstrator
Articles in Encyclopedias and online works are just speculations that "there is possibility" that Albanians are Illyrians.
There are many just claims that "Albanians are Illyrians",without any explanation,material evidences or logical arguments.

Fake "facts":

The Albanian ethnonym is first mentioned as an illyrian tribe living in the Roman thema (province) of Macedonia (which included southern Illyria at that time) by the ancient geographer Ptolemy in his "Geography", Book 3, Chapter 12. Specifically he refers to the Albanoi tribe living in the area with their capital Albanopolis (city of Albanians in greek) is to be found at the coordinates "46*00 41°05", somewhere inside the geographical triangle of modern cities of Tirane, Pristine and Scoplje (ancient Scupi).
'Albanoi' means Albanians in both ancient and modern greek, the -oi suffix standing for the pluriel form.

FAKE Albanopolis ( Zgërdhesh)

The ancient town is located to the right of the Fushë Kruja to Kruja road by Halil village. In 1871 the famous Austrian albanologue Han visited the Illyrian castle of Zgërdhesh and hypothesized..WOOOW that this was the ancient Albanopolis, capital of the Albans from whom the country is named.

FACT-Let's see Ptolemy:
Ptolomy's 'Geography' online.
Here he talks about Illyria and Illyrian tribes.
There is NO mention of Albanopolis,Albopolis or anything even close.
There is NO mention of "Albanoi" or Shqiptars...
It is true that the "Albanopolis" agrument is circulated the internet but no one provides the exact text.

FACT-Ptolemy in Book 5 chapter 15 titled "Location of Illyria or Liburnia, and of Dalmatia" (The Fifth Map of Europe) Never mentions the alleged "ALBANOPOLIS" that they support he has, and can be found at 46 degrees and 41 degrees 45', but when you look up what he really has writen, you find the city of Thermidava.

Where is ancient Albanopolis?

FACT-The Apostle Bartholomew is reported to have labored in the area around the south end of the Caspian Sea, in the section that was then called Armenia.
The modern name of the district where he died is Azerbaijan and the place of his death, called in New Testament times Albanopolis, is now Derbend which is on the west coast of the Caspian Sea.
The apostle Bartholomew is said to have been martyred in the year 68 AD.

in south-western region of Caspian sea,before albanian (and servian) migrations from Caucaus.
FACT-Until the 4th century CE (Albanopolis)it was part of Caucasian Albania, and is traditionally identified with Albana, the capital.

'Albanoi' means Albanians in both ancient and modern greek, the -oi suffix standing for the pluriel form.
