Bosnia archaeologists fight red tape, looters (Read the article)

This appears to be first Illyrian's ships ever found. There are some records about them at Greeks and Romans, but there was never any proofs that ships existed. They are believed to be 2200 years old. There are also some graves near this location from that period.


The wooden relics of the two ships, located some eight metres under water, are believed to have been trading or pirate ships that sank in the marshlands.

At least some of the amphoras suspected to be 2,200-year-old dug in a Bosnia-Herzegovina swamp are believed to have carried wine, as
expressed by experts on Monday.

"A preliminary analysis showed amphoras, found at what are believed remains of the first-ever discovered Illyrian ships, were used for transporting wine," has stated Snjezana Vasilj, head of a Bosnian team of archaeologists.

Awesome Find!

Looks like Bosnia is full of Mythical discoveries! Not only ancient Pyramids, but also fabled ships, which have never been discovered before.

Bosnia, the place where Myth meets Reality!

Hutovo Blato, BOSNIA AND HERCEGOVINA: Photo taken 23 March 2007 shows fragments of ancient amphoras found along with what is believed to be remains of two Illyrian ships, some eight meters (26 feet) under water, in Hutovo Blato marshland, near the Southern Bosnian town of Mostar. They are believed to have been trading or pirate ships that sank in the marshlands some 2,200 years ago, and were identified as Illyrian based on design features, said Sarajevo University professor Snjezana Vasilj, whose team made the find. Illyrian ships are mentioned in Greek and Roman historic records, but this is the first time they have been found, she said. Illyrians, who frequently engaged in piracy, were the earliest known inhabitants of the western Balkans, including Bosnia, long before the Roman Empire took control of the region. Their descendants are believed to be Albanians. AFP PHOTO / COURTESY OF NERETVA DIVERS CLUB (Photo credit should read -/AFP/Getty Images)
