Pyramid found in the heart of Bosnia?
Posted on Saturday, October 29, 2005 (CDT) by Thoth
 Near the city of Visoko, 30 km north of Sarajevo, there is a stone pyramid of monumental size, claims the Bosnian archeologist Semir Osmanagić, who lives and works in the USA.
After several months of geological and archeological research, Mr. Osmanagić concluded that under the present hill of Visočica hides a stairs-like pyramid, about 12,000 years old. Osmanagić, who intensively researched on pyramids in Americas, Asia and Africa for the last 15 years and wrote several books on the subject, says he's quite sure he found the first pyramid in Europe, which is quite similar to ones in the Southern America.
He believes that the project would completely change Bosnia's significance in the world of archeology.
On the top
of "Bosnian pyramid of Sun" was a temple, built by pre-Illyrians,
people who lived, according to Osmanagić, 27,000 years ago.
Mr. Osmanagić thinks he
will solve the "Bosnian pyramid of Sun" in the next five years, but
also prove the existence of "Bosnian pyramid of Moon", lying under the
neighboring hill of Križž.
According to BBC, the leading Bosnian newspaper "Dnevni Avaz" writes:
"The pyramid is 100
metres high and there is evidence that it contains rooms and a
monumental causeway ... The plateau is built of stone blocks, which
indicates the presence at the time of a highly developed civilisation,"
the daily explains.
"Archaeological excavations near the surface have uncovered a part of a wall and fragments of steps," it reveals.
"Visocica hill could
not have been shaped like this by nature," geologist Nada Nukic tells
the daily. "This is already far too more than we have anticipated, but
we expect a lot more from further analysis," she concludes.
