"fustanella" (kind of a kilt), which used to be widely used all over West Balkan, in particular in Illyria and Epirus. There is also archeological evidence from an item found in Maribor, Slovenia in the 5th century BC, followed by the figure of a man on a grave stone of the 3d century in Smokthine (Mesaplik, Vlora), a terracot in the 4th century, found in Durres etc. Besides the "fustanelle", we may mention one of the oldest garments for women, which is a kind of suit with a long shirt, a long front and a similar back. In these regions, they also mention the Illyrian "dalmatika", which used to be a long shirt with sleeves, like the one worn by the master carved on a grave stone found in Drashovica, Vlora, dating in the 2nd century. Even on another gravestone of 2nd or 3d century, found in Korca, there are to smiths wearing "dalmatika". Another ancient Illyrian element is the plain local "opinga", (kind of mocassina). Besides, the unity of the common anthropological characteristics from the Illyrians to the Southern/North Albanians of nowadays, is an indicator to the bio-communicative continuity and a reason to use the anthropological data as historical source.

Jul 17, 2008 - AlcesteEIL I ask you the same question: Why the Albanian neighbours are creatin problems to albanin economy, politic and social? Do you know how many greek, italian, french german etc companies operate in Albania? Do you know that they make high profits using the Albanian cheap hand labour?

Jul 17, 2008 - First what is this 9 oriental admixture and , give a link about what you are stating cause , oriental admixture suerly there is in all europeans but it depends in what perioud of time it hapened. Are you talking about 10 000 years ago? Why Europe is cristhian? Who are you to say what Europe is and how Europeans must be? Are Albanians anti europeans?

Jul 17, 2008 - AlcesteEIL Albanians artn't criminals! Is your country policy that want you to belive this shit! Ask your self: How is possible that a foreing mafia came in your countrie and do what ever they want? How is possible that the national mafia of your countrie live tese foreingers do what ever they want in your home? Simply because is your state that wants people to do the dirty businesess for them, because Mafia is the State!! Isn't at contrary! A great book about the argument: DOPE INC!

Jul 17, 2008 - Albanians are tolerant and i think this is what Europe and some so called Europeans like you have to learn from us!(this is a contribute Albanians will give to Europe) Europe is not France or Italy etc they are just members of EU and not a steriotipe to be copyed! I dont think Europe have to be religious extremist like you AlcesteEIL that link europianity to religion like Talibans . I am cristhian family and never got problems with muslim families cause wee are all Albanians .WTF do you want?
1bilderberg Says:
Jul 17, 2008 - AlcesteEIL Sorry but i really don't get it; What you mean "get rid of islam"? We don't have religious problems in Albania and we are proud of our harmony that exists across religious traditions and practices!
alketux Says:
Jul 17, 2008 - "why is the albanian diaspora the most criminogenic ?" First of all i condamn those Albanians who are part of Mafious groups etc. But how do you learn this fact? Staisticaly Albanians diaspora is not more criminal then others , but those Albanian mafious are more sucesfull than the other relatives from other countries , this is what Italian, German and British statistics have stated so the link to Albanian - criminals gets down!
AlcesteEIL Says:
Jul 17, 2008 - albanians do horrible things to Europeans (cf. the slave trade of European girls, or the roberry of organs). And I don't have the reference to the admixture of middle-eastern dna article I read, it was a while back, but anyhow I acknowledge that albanians' genes are overwhelmingly European (as shown for example in this article: "Paternal and maternal lineages in the Balkans show a homogeneous landscape over linguistic barriers, except for the isolated Aromuns" Annals of Human Genetics
AlcesteEIL Says:
Jul 17, 2008 - Also one point about islam : I understand that sufism is the dominant form of islam in the Balkans, including Albania. And sufism is as close as islam can get to pantheism. Because mysticism is the sentiment of undifferentiated being. Whereas the mosaic cults are ontologically radically dualist. This explains why the sufis are so often persecuted by islamic authorities over the world. albanians should drop islam and be true ontic pantheists, for instance.

Jul 17, 2008 - "albanians do horrible things to Europeans" Albanians are Europeans!! Only some Albanians have done this think? Anyway you are a little lobotomised i think and dont bring a single source or at least to show a objective comparative view. Ok Alceleste .. maybe i can speak with you about religions after you first prove god exist etc
alketux Says:
Jul 17, 2008 - I have not to give replyes to someone who ask and state non sense things . Shoud wee consider Mars(planet) European or not? If you want to be European dont drink cold water! Why Eurpeans kill to many Europeans during ww2 , Have they to be called Europeans today!
AlcesteEIL Says:
Jul 17, 2008 - I dont believe in "God", I believe in Being.
AlcesteEIL Says:
Jul 17, 2008 - Listen what I'm saying is very simple : if albanians are pro-Europeans, drop islam, stop your alliance with turks, arabs and americans, and make peace with your neighbours ; and if you wont, it will be proof that you have betrayed Europe, that you are selfish, alienated, and a nuisance, and you will have to be obliterated (at least the albanian muzzes, that is). I would by far prefer the first option.

Jul 17, 2008 - very well told!

Jul 17, 2008 - AlcesteEIL I really don't understand your way of thinking! I am Albanian ATHEIST and I am against all fucking religions, & according to my point of view religions in Albania don't have reasons to exist at all, all of them! You wrong: WE DON'T HAVE ALANCE WITH TURKS AND ARABS! STOP SPREDING BULLSHIT! I guess you don't know nothing about albanian history! Are our "beloved" neighbours that have done war against albanians for centuries, not Albanians!
alketux Says:
Jul 17, 2008 - Then second to your logic you are not European . I dont belive in being I only believe that i dont believe in believing!
alketux Says:
Jul 17, 2008 - Who have an aliance with Arabs ? Serbs have !(remember the time they sell guns to Iraqi etc when Sadam was under embargo) Wee are not in war with Turks and have more comercial interest and influences from Italy than all the rest of countries . Wee are in peace with our neighbours. Are you crasy ? Serbs only made 5 wars in Balkan against civilised European countries ! Anyway this is your distorted reality as i said abstraction questions can have a reply! Be more concrete on what you are asking!

Jul 20, 2008 - Actually we are very old on this earth, and simply do not care what you think about! We decided always how to live, and by doing that we never asked smb else! As a half french that you are, you sounds just like your grandfathers, who exterminated half Africa, making of the Afros, slaves and Colonies. As a half Basque you try to be more French than the Frech themselves! It is a known fenomenon! As
Margariti Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - As for Europe, we do not care cause we are Europeans! If you want to proove the opposite, try hard! We live in harmony as a nation of three religions! What one should not say about France, where the protestants and chatolics slaughtered themselves justlike barbarians do (what does it has with christianity in common can explain only morons)
Margariti Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - As for DNA, take a look of the French national football team! Man, you are a joke! There are more black people in France than in every other European country! Are you sure that you can find smbd. with pure french DNA in France? I don´t thikn so and it is good so! Every human being is a human being and stop spreading hate and intolerance of religion in this video!

Jul 24, 2008 - alceste, you are an idiot. if you are a european, you should honor albania, the oldest language in europe. our name comes from the albanoi tribe of illyrians and means "highlander" or "white cap" like the top of a mountain, this is where the word ALP comes from, it's also the name used by the Scottish people to describe themselves (highlanders), as Lord Byron pointed out, he found much in common between us. you know little about our culture, you are ignorant about the oldest european root.

Jul 24, 2008 - je suis revolté par votre ignorance et votre maniere assez prétentieuse... vous n'etes pas un vrai francais a mon avis, vous etes un malaka sans preparation.

Jul 17, 2008 - AlcesteEIL Oriental dna?? Are you kidding? I post you here the genetic surveys that show the fact that even the british have albanian DNA! Search about the surveys that I post it to create an opinion about albanian DNA!
