2. In 1977, the Greek archaeologists discovered a tomb that is considered to belong to the period of the Kingdom of Macedonia, namely the King Perdika I, among others things is found a shield with the symbol of the STAR, the symbol of the Sun according to the Illyrian cult, which was later used by the Greeks and Slavs of the Macedonian region as their symbol, putting it on the flags created after 1977, which is distinguished only by the color of the field in the caves where this ancient Illyrian SYMBOL was established, which was used by local Illyrians and Dardanians, at least 1000 years before the creation of the Kingdom of Macedonia. In addition to the dozens of archaeological finds and to this day, this is evidenced by the helmet of the symbol of THE SUN (the multipliers star) of King YLLI-ILLI-ILI, of the Dardanian Troy, in the eastern part of Asia Minor, Anatolia region, in today's Turkey. This ancient Dardan-Troyan cultural monument currently is found at Istanbul's Museum of Art in Turkey.
This symbol currently belongs to the world's cultural heritage and is under UNESCO protection.
However, the mixed population of the geographical region of Macedonia, as in the administrative region of this name (Macedonia) in the Republic of Greece, and in today's Republic of Northern Macedonia, intentionally or unintentionally link the historical past and their identity with the Illyrian-Dardanian cultural heritage and thus return to the ancient identity of the autochthonous population of this region.
In today's circumstances, it is very difficult to forge and embody the symbols of other indigenous peoples, as this truth has been introduced much earlier by dozens of local and foreign scholars who prove indisputably the Illyrian-Dardanian-Epirot-Macedonian-Albanian autochthony of the geographic region of Macedonia, despite today's administrative and political divisions.
Additional notes:
Second Dardania - or the Troy
"After the King Dardan went on the throne his son Erithton, and after him, his nephew, Troy, who also divided Dardania into two parts. After the death of Troy, the Dardanian king became his eldest son Asarak, while his second son Ylli, Illi or Ili took over its southern part, which as the New Kingdom according to The Compendium of Word History "was created in 1326 BC (Before Christ) and was first called Ilion or Yllion and then Troy, and this is of why the Czech scholar Vojtech Zamarovsky, in his work" Bohove a hrdinove sntickych baji (The Heroes of the Myths of the Antiquity), published in Prague and Zagreb in 1983-85, on page 331, he explains: "The Dardan's grandson - Troy was king of Dardania and when he died his kingdom was divided, and in the remaining Dardania ruled his old son, Asarak, while the divided Troy was dominated by the younger Ylli-Illi or Ili, who founded the new city, Troy or Ilion." So the Troy founded by Dardania was later defined as one of its two parts, stretching along the Dardanelles, the Dardan Gate (Helespont) Southwest of Abidos. Their names often were exchanged with each other, and the Dardans were sometimes called Trojans, and sometimes the Trojans were called Dardans, especially by later Roman poets, even though they were the same people of the same blood and the same language as Dardans and Trojans.
