"The basis of the map is the situation around 1910"

[DTA]

I can recommend site specializing in type of history you are interested in.

There are many experts there who claim that Alexander the Great and Ptolemys of Egypt were Albanian dynasty

I have no inclination to such type of literature, cold facts are good enough for me.

Speaking of the map above, it is enough to see distribution of Greeks (e.g. Smyrna) to see that something is wrong with the map.

Map was made in 1923, allegedly use data from 'around 1910' yet show 1910 data inconsistently.
