Re: Name of places and greek gods from the albanian language.
Jesus Christ what IS this!? Are you a member of a sect or what!?Och så kan du sluta kalla Satu för "svenska tönt", hon är ingen tönt, och dessutom är hon tysk! Jag är däremot svensk och skall be att få upplysa dig om att det heter Skåne och Jylland, inte Skaneland och Ylland.
Netherlands means "the low lands", England is derived from Anglia (Latin, I think), which means "angle" and Mediterranean means "in the middle of the earth".Stop this right now, please!

AnglesJust jumping in here...England's derived from Anglia/Land of Angles. It means "angel." I don't know if yours was an accidental mispelling of that or if you really meant "angle."Anyways. The Angles were a tribe so named by the Romans because of their pale appearance. The Romans thought they looked like angels.Michelle

Also Angles are one of the first people to set home in England.
The Angles came from the east and developed in the artistical aspect and became the origings of the Anglo culture.
If your name is Angles... Be sure you are a pure 100% British

READ THIS ABOUT ATALNTIS THE LOST CONTINENT. ILLYRIAN GODS NOT GREEK GODS. PELASGIAN/ILLYRIAN/ALBANIAN NAMES.
http://pub18.ezboards.com/bbalkans
There is a theory of Albanians as descendants of Atlant, the lost continent. One of the oldest Illyrian tribes though was called Taulant (thau land) = dry land and in Asia there was another Illyrian settlement which now is called Thailand. There are three places called Albany 1. A city near London [Albany; it was said that there the first Christian roman soldier was killed] 2. Central Albania [actually Albanoi = Alb banoi - there lived Alb or the Alp mountainous people, people that lived in the (h)ill there is no coincidence that the greatest Albanian colony in Asia near China and Turkmenistan is located in very high ground along the longest river called Il 3. A country in Caucasus region near Caspian Sea. Why did Alexander the Great rush to India? Africa was certainly richer in gold and specially in diamonds and it would be much easier to conquer the black nation rather than the populated and well fortified India. Why should he go through so many perils, pass difficult paths through treacherous mountains when he had the great fleet in the Mediterranean when a shortcut to the south would have provided him with the greatest treasures in the world? The explanation is that he followed the path of previous Aryans. If there wasn't any previous expedition towards India he would have never dared to go to a dangerous land. Outnumbered several fold by the indigenous population he marched as if he was sightseeing rather than conquering India. Even by modern means of communication it would have been difficult to travel nowadays so fast through three continents. The truth is that he stopped over in those places where there were old Aryan settlements. The same as today we use gas stations in USA & Europe to tank our car with petrol on a trip to the country side. His losses were so minimal because most of those who died, expired under the harsh weather conditions.
