Ancient Skull Cap is "Greek" or ALBANIAN (?)
Plisi antik eshte "grek" apo Shqiptar?
Elizabeth J. Pyatt, Linguistic PhD, Pennsylvania State University USA:"In 3200 BC, there were many, many languages spoken besides Sumerian and Egyptian, but they were not fortunate enough to have a writing system. These languages are just as old. To take one interesting case, the Albanian language (spoken north of Greece) was not written down until about the 15th century AD, yet Ptolemy mentions the people in the first century BC.* The linguistic and archaeological evidence suggests that Albanians were a distinct people for even longer than that. So Albanian has probably existed for several millennia, but has only been written down for 500 years. With a twist of fate, Albanian might be considered very "old" and Greek pretty "new"."
A qeleshe is a traditional skull cap, which is worn by Albanian men, usually from highlands of Albania or Kosovo and particularly in the Arberesh villages in Italy.
The cap is made from one single piece of woolen felt, usually white, that is molded to the shape of the head. The name qeleshe comes from the Albanian word for wool which is lesh. It has a conical shape that resembles an egg shell cut in half. Sometimes this is worn along with a bandana tied around the head.
We find qeleshe in Etruscan, Ancient "Greek" pictures/ statues, in EID MAR - An Ancient Roman Coin that Commemorates the Assassination of Caesar, in Ancient Illyrian sculptures, etc
In those archaeological discoveries is very visible the presence of qeleshe covering the heads of some ancient heroes.
