People are intrigued by the origins of the Bosnian Pyramids and Mr Osmanagic's work. A couple of weeks ago

Mr Vedran Košta (Dubrovnik, Croatia) got in touch with Osmanagic and claimed that traces of an apparent civilisation found at the bottom of the ocean could be Atlantis.

Blocks of Bosnian Pyramid 13 february 2009

Builders of the Bosnian pyramids used a cement-like substance to help build the ancient structures in the Bosnian Valley of Pyramids, according to the Kemal Kapetanovic Institute from the University in Zenica, Bosnia Herzegovina.The Institute has published the first results of archaeological samples taken from a number of locations in the Bosnian valley of pyramids.The builders behind the Bosnian pyramids made their own building materials and a type of ‘concrete’ to create the architectural forms found in the valley. The institute’s findings suggest that the builders used gravel, available in quantities at the time, which they bound together using various natural materials. Professor Muhamed Pasic from the Kemal Kapetanovic Institute said that the builders understood the properties of clay, including its elasticity, hygroscopicity, and that lightly baked clay mixed with water possesses binding properties. Other materials they used included a lime hydrate, which was used to bind the grains of gravel.Prof Pasic explained that the builders would make a gravel-like mix which included gravel, binding materials and water. This was mixed at the site and the substance poured between the slabs at the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun to ‘fix’ them into place.The gravel-like material that they made the pyramid from is reminiscent of today’s machine-mixed cement but is much stronger.The samples of these substances, taken from the Bosnian Valley of Pyramids, will also be sent for analysis to some of the leading institutions in Europe and America.

 

Egyptian Expert links ancient Bosnians to Bosnian Pyramid 15 November 2008

Stecak_radmilja Stećak from Radimlja near Stolac, 13th century. Engraving on the tombstone: May this hand make you think about yours.

Their most remarkable feature is their decorative motifs, many of which remain enigmatic to this day. Spirals, arcades, rosettes, vine leaves and grapes, suns and crescent moons are among the images that appear. Figural motifs include processions of deer, dancing the kolo, hunting and, most famously, the image of the man with his right hand raised, perhaps in a gesture of fealty. The most beautiful of the stecci graveyards is that at Radimlja, near Stolac (wikipedia)

A small pyramid for science, a big discovery for the Bosnian Pyramids 29 Sep 2008

An archaeological site in Donje Mostre, in the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramid, has unveiled a Neolithic artefact that has been dated to 6000-3000 BC. The discovery was made by students of the German University of Kiel on September 23, and was announced by Zilke Kujundžic, who is actually one of the main opponents to the pyramid project, having filed numerous petitions for the work to be stopped, claiming the entire project is a hoax. We need to specify she actually labelled the object a pyramid.
The small ceramic pyramid – in some reports also referred to as a benben stone, because of apparent visual similarities with such stones in Egypt – is a major discovery, showing that local people, millennia ago, created ceramic objects in the shape of a pyramid. One can only wonder why, noting that Donje Mostre is also the location where giant rectangular stone blocks have been found, some of which are definitely manmade.

Nevertheless, being the extreme (one might argue irrational) critic she is, Kujundžic has refused to admit she might be wrong, stating that the find is “not related” to the nearby pyramids. Meanwhile, Kujundžic was also accused of not having shared the discovery with the local Visoko museum. It is no doubt divine irony that some of the best archaeological evidence for the reality of the pyramids, has been unearthed by one of its fiercest opponents. Philip Coppens

 

Others about Conference in Sarajevo 11 September 2008

That heavyweights of archaeology had concluded that the structures near Visoko were manmade, is actually old news – announced to the world in 2007, after a visit to the “Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids” by Dr. Nabil Swelim. Unfortunately, hardly anyone in the West has taken note of this

Egypt has the largest pyramid, but Bosnia's is the highest! 26 August 2008

Sarajevo Hotel Grand
This week experts from around the world have arrived in Bosnia to participate in the first International Coneference about the Bosnian Pyramids at Visoko. More than 120 people attended the conference on day three to hear experts presenting their arguments to answer questions surrounding the disputed Pyramids in Bosnia. Although a team has been excavating the site for the last three year it has only 'scratched the surface' of the pyramid's true nature, according to a number of the experts. Scientists in the fields of Geolgy, Archaeology and other sciences will work together to provide answers to these questions. At this stage, no tools or artefacts have been found that replicate discoveries in other pyramids around the world. Egyptian experts are comparing this project to Henry Carter's explorations. Having spent three years digging without any success, he found nothing. But Carter was lucky because he had access to rich Egyptian archives that helped him enormously. In the case of the Bosnian Pyramids, German archaeologists have found evidence of continious life at Visoko Valley including settlements of 10,000 people dating back some 6000 years. In bosnia, we do not have any archive against which to compare modern discoveries so the task is more complex. The APBPS Foundation announced that this confernece will occure every 2 years from now on and it hopes that Sarajevo will become the world center for exploring pyramids around the world. Experts from China and Egypt also gave presentations about pyramids in their native countries.

Work on top of Bosnian Pyramid of Sun 16 July 2008

Royal Town of Visoki
The summit of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun is home to the Royal Town of Visoki which was last inhabited in the 14th century. Following the Turkish invasion, this town was burnt down and today there are few traces of it.
Little national importance was attached to the site, including from the Ministry of Culture, until Semir Osmanagic presented his plan to protect this area and all other cultures of which traces have been found here (including the Romans and Ilirians).
It is commonplace to find a range of different cultures on ancient pyramid sites. For example, in South America churches were built on top of pyramid structures.
