"Moreover, you scorned our people, and compared the Albanese to sheep, and according to your custom think of us with insults. Nor have you shown yourself to have any knowledge of my race. Our elders were Epirotes, where this Pirro came from, whose force could scarcely support the Romans. This Pirro, who Taranto and many other places of Italy held back with armies. I do not have to speak for the Epiroti. They are very much stronger men than your Tarantini, a species of wet men who are born only to fish. If you want to say that Albania is part of Macedonia I would concede that a lot more of our ancestors were nobles who went as far as India under Alexander the Great and defeated all those peoples with incredible difficulty. From those men come these who you called sheep. But the nature of things is not changed. Why do your men run away in the faces of sheep?"
Letter from Skanderbeg to the Prince of Taranto ▬ Skanderbeg, October 31 1460
Këtu mund të flisni mbi historinë tonë duke sjellë fakte historike për ndriçimin e asaj pjese të historisë mbi të cilen ka rënë harresa e kohës dhe e njerëzve.
Nuk ekzistonin peme profetike ne religjonin e Greqise klasike, sikurse nuk ekzistonte ne asnje tempull apo faltore te Greqise antike nje Zeus qe te kishte nje lidhje te forte me kete peme profetike sikurse ishte lisi apo dushku. Pemet profetike ishin tipike te popujve verior dhe barbar (jogrek)!
Shume "e ngaterruar" kjo çeshtje :
"VALANIDH m. bot.
Lloj dushku i viseve mesdhetare, me trung të trashë e të lartë, me lëkurë ngjyrë hiri e të plasaritur, me gjethe vezake, dhe që bën lëndë të mëdha e me kapuç të gjerë, të cilat përmbajnë tanin e përdoren për të regjur lëkurët. Valanidh i butë (i egër). Lëndë (dru) valanidhi. Pyll me valanidhe."
Një autor Britanik, me shumë autoritet në qarqet akademike europiane të shekullit të XIX, gjithashtu një filo-grek i deklaruar, George Finlay dhe vepra e tij e famshme, History of the Greek Revolution (1861) Volume 1:
In Albania a considerable proportion of the population had embraced the Mohammedan religion; but the Albanian Mussulmans were detested by Osmanlees and hated by the Greeks. Their religion was hardly a matter of conscience with the majority. They were less bigoted than the Turks, and less superstitious than the Greeks. Their avarice was, however, insatiable, and for gold an Albanian Mussulman would willingly serve a Christian master, or a Christian Albanian a Mussulman chief, even if the service was to be rendered in deeds of blood.
The Albanian forms a distinct race among the nations of Europe. They have been supposed by some to be the representatives of the Pelasgians. They call themselves Shkipetar. Some suppose them to have occupied the regions they now inhabit before the days of Homer, and that they are the lineal descendants of the race to which the ancient Epirots and Macedonians belonged as cognate tribes. Alexander the Great must, according to these archaeologists, have spoken an ancient Albanian dialect at his riotous banquets with his Macedonian officers.
The researches of modern philology have established beyond question that the Albanian language is an early offset from the Sanscrit, and that its grammar was complete at as old a date as the oldest Greek dialect.
Nearly the same boundary separates the Hellenic from the non-Hellenic population at the present day as in ancient times. Thucydides calls the Amphilochians who dwelt at the head of the Gulf of Arta barbarians. Strabo says that one race inhabited the whole country, from the Acroceraunian Mountains to the borders of Thessaly and to the plain of Pelagonia, under the name of Epirots or Macedonians, for both spoke the same language. The whole of Albania, from the Gulf of Arta to the Lake of Skodra, is divided into innumerable lateral valleys by rugged mountains, which render the communications so difficult as to confine trade to a few lines of transport.

Dicka tjeter rreth Bizantit:"Theophylacti Simocattae ... Historiae Mauricii Tiberii Imp. Lib. VIII ...
Di Theophylactus (Simocatta),Georgius Sphrantzes,Georgius Trapezuntius"-1604
1)Theophylact Simocatta (Greek: Θεοφύλακτος Σιμοκάτ(τ)ης - Theophylaktos Simokat(t)es) was an early 7th-century Byzantine historiographer, arguably ranking as the last historian of Antiquity.
2)George Sphrantzes (also Phrantzes or Phrantza or Frantzis, Greek: Γεώργιος Φραντζής, 1401-c. 1478) was a late Byzantine Greek historian.
3)Georgius Trapezuntius =George of Trebizond (1395 – 1484), Greek philosopher and scholar, one of the pioneers of the revival of letters in the Western world.
Ky tekst mendoj duhet studiuar mire sepse kemi te bejme ne kohen e Mikel Paleologut.(Mikhaēl VIII Palaiologos (1223 – Costantinopoli, 11 dicembre 1282)....edhe personazhi tjeter qe lexohet ne tekst Manfredus Friderici II(Manfredi di Hohenstaufen, o Manfredi di Svevia (Venosa, 1232 – Benevento, 26 febbraio 1266), fu re di Sicilia.) kane jetuar ne te njejten periudhe dhe flitet pra per vitet 1200 dhe Shqiptaret thuhet ne tekst kane pase banuar deri ne Peleponez...(Kane rendesi datat dhe vitet),
E solla dhe njehere kete tekst te Mallakastriotit, sepse ne kete tekst thuhet qarte qe gjithe Morea(Peloponezi) eshte banuar prej shqiptareve, para dyndjes se pandehur te tyre drejt Greqise ne shekullin e 14-e.
Peloponnesum autem Graci hodie Moream, ab arbore moro, tota regione frequentissima nominant sicut Epirum Arbaniam siue Albaniam: tametsi apud hunc nostrum etiam Peloponnesi pronuncia quaedam Albania siue Albanitia crebro nominatur.
Peloponezi qe sot greket i thone More, ne formen e gjethes se manit, i gjithe rajoni shpesh quhet si Epiri Arberor ose thjesht Albania, megjithese madje dhe ky Peloponezi yne qe gabimisht thuhet Albania shpesh eshte quajtuar Albanitia(Alvanitia-shenimi im)
