Unveiling the Hidden History of the Arvanites of Eastern Thrace

By Γιώργος Μίχας.

A compelling narrative presents a significant challenge to the dominant "Greek" discourse of the past 200 years regarding the origins of the Arvanites of Eastern Thrace. This story, which has been hidden for a long time, now comes to light and challenges the old and incorrect notions about the origins of the Arvanites.

The Arvanites of Eastern Thrace: The Oldest Inhabitants of the Region

Contrary to the claims of various historians, the Arvanites of Eastern Thrace are not immigrants to this region, but rather the oldest inhabitants, descended from the ancient Thracians and Illyrians who founded Byzantium. This ancient and rich origin of the Arvanites has been hidden for a long time, but now comes to light and challenges the old and incorrect notions about the origins of the Arvanites.

A Critical Examination of the Migration Theory
The theory that Arvanite communities outside of present-day Albania migrated from various regions of that country is challenged by a critical examination. This theory is based on the existence of common placeonyms in Albania and areas with Arvanite populations. However, this theory is argued to be incorrect, as it fails to explain why the Arvanites of Eastern Thrace, who supposedly migrated from Albania but they are Vlachs, but they speak only Arvanitika and have Arvanitika surnames, with no knowledge of the Vlach language.

Challenging the Notion of a Single Albanian Homeland
The notion that the Arvanites of various regions, including ancient Greece, Lower Italy, Eastern Thrace, and others, originated from the mountainous regions of present-day Albania, is challenged by a critical examination. This theory is considered illogical, as it would imply that the Arvanites were still inhabiting the same regions in Albania, which is not supported by historical evidence.

Unveiling the True Origins of the Arvanites.

The Arvanites, regardless of their current geographical location, are the ancient settlers of those regions, descended from the ancient Pelasgians, Thracians, Illyrians, and other civilizations. This narrative challenges the dominant historical discourse and offers a new perspective on the origins of the Arvanites

Why Robert Beekes failed on Pre-Greek

Robert Stephen Paul Beekes (Dutch: [ˈbeːkəs]; 2 September 1937 – 21 September 2017) was a Dutch linguist who was professor of comparative Indo-European linguistics at Leiden University and the author of many monographs on the Proto-Indo language. European. Robert Beekes also worked on Pre-Greek, the language he called non-Indo-European, spoken in Greece before Greek, according to him probably around 2000 BC. Since this language was not written, Beekes took his information from many words in classical Greek that show a non-Greek structure and development.  One of these words is *ἀδάμας , whose etymology I deduced in 2014 without reading his book.  I wrote in this blog: "Do linguists know that ἀδάμας – adámas of old Greek exists in today's Albanian in the form of "pa ndam"? When I read his book and these very words, I was stunned. How can a linguist of such a level not understand this word and its origin.  Beekes writes: "Adamas, hard metal? Diamond? Derived from...

Nephilim

N 'eh - Ph 'ih- L 'ee- M /  Nepheeleem Zacharia Sitchin (July 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010)  wrote the " Nephilim " (נְפִילִים) is derived from “nafàl" and means “fall". The term Nephilim occurs in Genesis 6:1-4, describing the point of time when three things began: men began to increase in number, came into existence the daughters of men , and the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. Is the "nephillim" really only a Hebrew word? That question is very subtle, however I think it has been more a limit of thinking for linguists rather than a serious argument. Let's begin first with the probable meaning the linguists think it is. We know that the " fall"  in every language means moving downward from a higher position involuntarily, usually by an accident, which maybe was the reason why Michael S. Heiser, PhD candidate, Department of Hebrew and Semitic Studies , University of Wisconsin...

Word creation. The "D" letter origin and the "D" pictogram rule of the word creation.

  In this article I will cover  the origin of the letter  D letter, and the pictogram concept of the word creation.  It was my first discovery of the word creation. In this blog I will give my discoveries, the rules of word creation of the European languages. Multiple theories exist as to how language first originated. Nobody is sure which one is true. Certified Translations Get Pricing Order Translation What is the Oldest Language in the World? There are over 7,000 languages in the world. Could there have been a time on the earth that we all spoke one language? If so, what is the oldest language in the world?  So what was the first language?  Discovering the first language that people spoke is difficult because so many languages died and were considered lost in history. However, ancient languages still survive until today; these languages may have been transformed a lot but their old origins may be traceable. Written languages existed but this does n...
