Opponents of the project are, however, horrified at the prospect of irreparable damage to an area they believe is important enough to be a tourist attraction without a pyramid, yet warrants further archaeological research. Enver Imamovic of the University of Sarajevo, a former director of the National Museum of Sarajevo, said that the excavations would “irreversibly destroy a national treasure”, while another Bosnian archaeologist told The Art Newspaper that it would be like “letting a group of amateurs dig around Stonehenge”.

Where are the tools marks?
Where are the artefacts?
Where is the civilisation that made this? Central Europe has a long and excellent history of archaeology - the construction of such a pyramid would require infrastructure, there would be evidence of older simpler pyramids and other monumental buildings based on similar principles/technology/cultural underpinnings.
How does a pyramid get evenly covered in soil so it still looks pyramidal? Such a huge structure would tend to get buried from the base upwards resulting in a much more blurred and curved profile with erosion uncovering sharp edges and the like.
