Mike Georgiades :
When Byzas founded Byzantium on the advice of the Delphic oracle, he dedicated the city to Artemis, a moon goddess. Her symbol was the crescent moon and the star. When Byzantium became Constantinople, the city maintained that symbol as a war banner.

Yiannis Kats :
Αυτό ήταν το σύμβολο της αρχαίας πόλης του Βυζαντίου. Υπάρχουν νομίσματα που το απεικονίζουν. Ένα σύμβολο που οικειοποιήθηκαν οι Ρωμαίοι και αργότερα οι Τούρκοι, οι οποίοι το έκαναν σύμβολο όλης της αυτοκρατορίας τους.

Timur :
Isn’t there a different variation as well? Turks won a big war against all odds, and as they rode through the battle field the crescent moon and a star were reflecting from a puddle of blood…

My city Portsmouth in England was given the star and crescent as a coat of arms in 1194 by Richard the lionheart, it’s thought he was inspired by the Byzantine empire.

when the star was inside the crescent this was a zoroastrian symbol perhaps of a fire altar.

illyria is not Albania. Albanians are from eastern Europe and have nothing to do with illyria.

Gemini: - The star and crescent became a prominent symbol of the city of Byzantium, possibly linked to Hecate and a legend about the city's protection. - The crescent moon and star symbol appeared on coins and reliefs in Greece and Asia Minor from the 6th century BC onward. - While the crescent moon and star were used in various ways throughout ancient Greece, their association with Islam is a later development.

That's bull. The crescent moon and the star was ORIGINALLY the symbol of the ancient greek colonial city of Byzantium that was built on the same spot as Constantinople, by the greek city of Megara in mainland Greece. It was depicted in ancient coins,you can look it up.
