Quotes
Certainly the Thracians and the Illyrians were non-Greek speakers, but in the northwest, the peoples of Molossis (Epirot province), Orestis and Lynkestis spoke West Greek. It is also accepted that the Macedonians spoke a dialect of Greek and although they absorbed other groups into their territory, they were essentially Greeks.
"The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Greece", Penguin Publishing USA, January 1997
Robert G. Morkot has come to the alarming conclusion that because Egyptologists regard Egypt in isolation, ‘the minutiae of chronology does not matter because at least for the New Kingdom, the relative sequence of kings is certain so the absolute dates are less important.’
Robert G. Morkot , quoted in : Nick Collins - How Maritime Trade and the Indian Subcontinent Shaped the World (2022)
