Supposed Consolidation of Proto-Illyrians (1 ene 2750 año aC – 1 ene 2250 año aC)
Descripción:
Accroding to John Wilkes, it is during this time that an amalgamation of Old-Europe Cultures and Steppe Herders produces disctinct cultures later to become the Illyrians, Thracians and Greek.
The Illyrians emerged from the fusion of PIE-descended Yamnaya-related population movements ca. 2500 BCE in the Balkans with the pre-existing Balkan Neolithic population, initially forming "Proto-Illyrian" Bronze Age cultures in the Balkans.[33][34][35] The proto-Illyrians during the course of their settlement towards the Adriatic coast merged with such populations of a pre-Illyrian substratum – like Enchelei might have been – leading to the formation of the historical Illyrians who were attested in later times. It has been suggested that the myth of Cadmus and Harmonia may be a reflection in mythology of the end of the pre-Illyrian era in the southern Adriatic region as well as in those regions located north of Macedonia and Epirus.
