Two ancient cemeteries in the Haxhaj neighborhood of Lower Zabel.

Some time ago, Mr. Ruzhdi Orana from this village told me that there are two graves that, according to the symbols they have, must be old.
Today, together with Ruzhdi, we visited these two graves, which according to the tombstones, seem to be from different times, but are located close to each other.

One of the graves bears a stone with the symbol of the sun, which is characteristic of Illyrian graves, while the other has symbols unknown to us who visited them, but it remains for field experts to give their assessment.

The tombstones also have several other symbols that have been damaged by erosion over time, but which archaeological experts cannot decipher. The black marble grave is surrounded by stone slabs the length and width of the grave
