Albanian belongs to the so called "satem group" within Indo European, and that Illyrian did not while Dacian did.[51] or Thracian[52]. There is a lack of clear archaeological evidence for a continuous settlement of an Albanian-speaking population since Illyrian times. For example, while Albanians scholars maintain that the Komani-Kruja burial sites support the Illyrian-Albanian continuity theory, most scholars reject this and consider that the remains indicate a population of Romanized Illyrians who spoke a Romance language.[48][53][54] Recently, some Albanian archeologists have also been moving away from describing the Komani-Kruja culture as a proto-Albanian culture.[55] books.google.com/books?id=RnDeHFOX8yIC&pg=PA74#v=onepage&q&f=falseThe great Illyrologist Hans Krahe himself was no supporter of the Illyrian theory about the origin of Albanians. In his late years he came to understand that most of his paleolinguistic theories were generally wrong. Krahe started by finding Illyrian traces everywhere in Europe, but then it was made clear that all he had found were Indo-European traces -- and nobody had any doubt that Indo-European tribes had been in Europe for a long many years. Let's move up in time, and reach the Middle Ages. In the Middle Ages the Albanians were somewhere there, though their first mention is in the 11th century. Where were they living? Where are the places they have named after their common words (technically called appellatives)? The south is full -- literally full -- of Slavic place names, especially the areas of Vlora, Tepelena, Skrapar, Mallakaster, Illyrians (with their less fortunate fellows, the Pelasgians) are a pure creation of Albanian romanticism. Ardian Vebiu famous Albanian historian members.aol.com/Plaku/illyrian.htm"Clearly, there are different points of view on the issue of Albanian origins and who exactly contributed to the modern Albanian ethnos. Before anyone can get into this question deeper, it is important to explore the Serb ethnic contribution to the Albanian ethnos." - Ardian Vebiu Read more: illyria.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=jugoslavijayugoslavia&action=display&thread=32623&page=2#ixzz1CYIRl3Xm

Just a similarity I have noticed between Illyrian kings and that Serb push-ups guy video in the other thread. That guy looks very typical Serbian and he looks very similar to these Illyrian statues. The shape of the head is very similar; the long and narrow face, and especially the short forehead and hairline section. To me, that type of Serb is most closely related to the Illyrians. Not all Serbs look like the guy below, but his look is distinctly Serbian, but not of a Slavic type.

Note on the below pic, Constantius Chlorus was not an Illyrian, he was a Thracian.

My mistake. Still, he was from Moesia Superior which is in modern day Serbia and his type of genes live on.
