It is hard to find such a rich, historical place on this planet, and the mystery of this place is right here before us. Going through the city of Stolac, one can witness that major historical events took place in this area. Daorson is located above Stolac and Radimlje is located below it. There is something that a person can sense at the moment when stepping into this ancient stone city. The official history says that Daorson was (Greek ΔΑΟΡΣΩΝ) the capital of the Hellenized Illyrian tribe, Daors, that lived from 300 to 50 B.C. in the Valley of Neretva. It was built 2500 years ago. The only truth about this place is the fact that it is located near the River Neretva. The megalithic blocks, which weigh several tons, are beautifully carved and placed with great precision, which is still a mystery to many masons today. There is no connecting material between the blocks; there are carved, and the concrete may have been poured on the site, having more than 4 expected angles. Needless to say, such blocks are also found in Machu Picchu, Peru. The mystery of these blocks is the fact that they are resistant to earthquakes, which were also found in the areas of B&H. The statements of some scientist who claimed that Daorson was built by some tribes are more than ridiculous. One needs to ask oneself if the tribes were capable of building such a great city that is made of the stone blocks weighing in tons. Did such a tribe have a social structure and ability to drag megalithic blocks throughout the rocky soils of Herzegovina for many kilometers from the quarry stone pit and to insert them into the giant walls of the city? Speaking about the walls, we need to ask ourselves why certain places are five meters wide because for defense purposes, the walls had to be no more than half a meter thick. In addition to this, Daorson is placed on the elevation with the fantastic view below it, and it was not accessible to its possible enemies. Therefore, the defense was an easy job even without such thick walls. The question is, “Was Daorson city really what the official science is saying it is? Furthermore, the experts claim that the city used to consist of three parts with the fortress being in the middle of it. They further state that this fortress was surrounded by giant walls which were made of the great stone blocks (which are similar to those in Mikena, Greece). All the religious and governing institutions were placed within this fortress. The defense wall that touches from the Southwest towards the Northeast was 65 meters long, 4.2 meters wide. Its approximate height was about 4.5 to 7.5 meters and it had a gate with towers on each side. It is obvious that the defense wall had a gate but it is also obvious that the gate was built by the civilizations that inhabited this area later on (The Greeks). This fact is very obvious and our society tends to put everything within the time frame that is most popular. The administrative, religious, and public centers are also mentioned but nothing is left of them. It is unclear how they concluded that objects with such purposes really existed there. Are we supposed to make conclusions based on a few old coins? Or are we going by our old good custom sayings, “Pile all the stone blocks under the nice, Bosnian carpet?” The representatives of the Troy Association and many lovers of this city told us the story about the geo-radar analysis that took place and confirmed the existence of a much older city that is located below the city of Daorson. This entire city was built on top of the remains of a much older preexisting construction. The construction was initially dated 2500 years ago but recently, it has been changed to 3700 B.C. Should we be mentioning the names of some made up tribe or should we change our attitude on how we interpret things? Should we rather try to figure out who built the city and what was its purpose? www.piramidasunca.ba/en/index.php/DAORSON-CITY-FALSE-INTERPRETATIONS-UP-TO-THE-PRESENT.htmlFasinating Brill.
