by Aleksander Hasanas and Marios Dimopoulos

This work presents what is described as a comprehensive intellectual and geopolitical transformation concerning the Balkans, as well as world prehistory and ethnology. It advances a reinterpretation of historical identity, linguistic origins, and civilizational development within a broader Pan-Pelasgian framework.

The author states that several volumes, written in English and soon to be published in Greek and Albanian, comprise over 2,000 pages of material. These works are intended to form what is described as a “new gospel” of Pan-Pelasgianism (also referred to as Pan-Albanianism or Helleno-Albanianism), alongside a forthcoming trilingual ethnological and geopolitical platform.

According to the author, these publications are expected to provoke significant geopolitical and diplomatic reactions, particularly in Serbia, Russia, and Turkey, and to generate substantial regional tension.

A proposed geopolitical axis—Athens–Tirana–Pristina—is presented as a central strategic vision. This is framed as a transformative regional realignment with long-term historical consequences.

A quoted AI-generated commentary (attributed to “Gemini”) is included, interpreting the project as a form of “spiritual and geopolitical counter-offensive.” It argues that Turkish influence in the region operates through religious frameworks, while the proposed ideological model reorients Albanians toward Western and Illyrian–Pelasgian origins. The recognition of Kosovo by Greece is described as a decisive geopolitical turning point that would destabilize Serbian and Russian positions while consolidating a new regional axis.

Book I: Greeks, Albanians, and Arvanites — One People, One Tribe, One Homeland

The first volume advances the thesis of a shared ethno-historical origin between Greeks and Albanians, with particular emphasis on the historical role of the Arvanites in modern Greek history.

The argument asserts that Arvanites did not migrate into Greece as outsiders, but rather represent a population returning to an original homeland. Their historical presence is therefore interpreted not as immigration, but as autochthonous continuity.

From this perspective, claims of recent Albanian migration are rejected, and Arvanites are positioned as a foundational element in the shared Greek–Albanian historical continuum.

Book II: Pelasgian as the Proto-Language of Indo-European Civilisation

The second volume presents a linguistic hypothesis identifying Pelasgian—understood as an ancient form of Albanian and Greek—as the original source of Indo-European languages.

It argues that:

• Pelasgian predates so-called agglutinative languages
• Languages such as Etruscan and Basque are reinterpreted as Indo-European rather than pre-Indo-European
• Pre-Greek and pre-Indo-European toponyms and lexemes can be etymologically explained through ancient Albanian (Pelasgian)

Within this framework, Pelasgian is elevated to the status of a proto-language of Homo sapiens in the Paleolithic era.

The argument further asserts that etymological reconstruction of pre-Hellenic names through Albanian demonstrates the autochthonous nature of Greeks. Conversely, Albanian autochthony is said to be demonstrable through ancient Greek, establishing a reciprocal linguistic foundation.

Within this ideological model, the Arvanites are presented as the most authentic continuation of both Albanian and Greek identities.

Book III: Kosovo as Ancient Dardanian–Illyrian Territory

The third volume focuses on Kosovo, defined historically as part of ancient Dardania. It argues that the region has been inhabited by Albanian populations for over 4,000 years under Illyrian–Dardanian identity, predating Slavic settlement in the 7th century CE.

The population of Kosovo is presented as descending from Pelasgian Dardanians, with one branch migrating toward Asia Minor (linked to the toponym Dardanelles), and another settling in the Balkans.

The text challenges opposing historical narratives, arguing that claims of Serbian historical primacy in Kosovo are inconsistent with both ancient and modern historiography. It further suggests that similar territorial arguments have historically been used in broader Balkan conflicts.

The work also references 19th-century European scholarship, particularly French diplomatic and historical sources (including V. Bérard), which allegedly recognized Albanian populations in Kosovo and their perceived kinship with Greeks as descendants of the Pelasgian world.

From this perspective, the recognition of Kosovo is framed as a historical necessity, and political non-recognition is interpreted as a distortion of historical reality.

Book IV: White Athens and the Origins of Civilisation

The fourth volume challenges Afrocentric and Semitic-origin theories of Greek civilisation, particularly the work of Martin Bernal.

It rejects the claim that ancient Greek civilisation derives from African or Semitic sources and reinterprets the goddess Athena as originating from a Pelasgian linguistic root (“E Thenna”), associated with purity and whiteness in symbolic geography.

The Pelasgians are described as a mountain people associated with the Alpine/“Alb” root, positioned as precursors to Eastern civilisations. Their migrations are said to have influenced early civilisations, rather than deriving from them.

In rhetorical terms, the text contrasts early Pelasgian civilisation with later cultures, framing the former as technologically and culturally advanced in prehistoric times.

Concluding Statement

The author concludes by presenting his work as a mission of intellectual and cultural revelation, aimed at disseminating what is termed the “true light of Pelasgianism” and promoting unity among Arvanite populations.

He references the Arvanite intellectual Loukas Bellos, whose work is cited as an inspiration for linguistic and historical reconciliation between Greek and Albanian identities.

The text ends with political declarations advocating a unified Greek–Albanian geopolitical space, extending from Kosovo to the Ionian region, expressed through the slogans:

• Greece of the Greek Albanians
• Greece–Albania from Kosovo to Ionia
• Union or Death

The final statement frames this project as the beginning of a broader ideological and historical struggle.
