Hillfort in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Here is the western part of the the Illyrian fortress Zvonigrad - where it is a real-cyclopean megalithic wall length of about 180 meters. The wall is quite destroyed, but in some parts clearly see the entire construction of the wall complex. The style construction of the wall greatly resembles the Hellenistic-Illyrian method of construction of the wall in the already famous Illyrian-Hellenistic city DAORSON, suggesting that this fort originates probably from the same Iron age period-Hellenism - 4th - 1st century BC. The inhabitants were members of indigenous Illyrians who adopted Hellenistic concept of living, because they were in communication with them. Maybe even this is a Hellenistic-Illyrian tribe Daorsi. The greatest potential lies in the fact that this DAORSON similar fortifications, boredom is never investigated, nor the the narrow area cleared or the megalithic wall excavated - which this Hellenistic-Illyrian fortress is still kind of a mystery and it is the future big tourist potential.
The photos of this megalithic wall are on page:
