... that excavations in Romajë have revealed double-edged axes which were used in a ritual of
sun worship?
Shukriu (2008): "The preurban Dardanian stage faith is characterized by the prevalence of sun cult, spread in north Illyrians, and snake cult, prevalent in south Illyrians. The heliolatry faith used to take a special place (solar artifacts in tombs of Shirokë, the fowl in Llashtica tomb, double-edged axes from Romajë tomb), as well as in Roman period."
A nicely written and well sourced article whose prose portion has been expanded fivefold. The hook is referenced in the article, interesting, and the source can be read online. QPQ is done, so this is ready.
