Well, it is kind of confusing, because every article i read says "Europes first Pyramid". (That sure gives the impression of being the first found in Europe) And also most of the articles that talk about the Bosnian pyramid always mention that there are no knowned pyramids in Europe.....

There's definitely a pyramid in Paris.

I estimate its age to be 29,035 years.

Give or take 29000 years.

Thank you. It was just a 95% confidence level estimate. 5% of the time I'm allowed to be wrong.

His margin of error allows for 35-58.035 years, it's only 17, so it's outside.

The identical text is also on the Bosnia Pyramid site. So I don't know who's the author. Possibly the AIA just took over what Osmanagic sent them, without filtering it through their opinion.

He refers to it as "the first european pyramid(s) of collosal dimensions" but on the site it is in most cases abbreviated to "the first european pyramid(s)". Always nice to have a first . He certainly ha his conclusion first .

Lets's see what this year's fieldwork brings.

The text is exactly what Osmanagic sent them, the only filtering that happens is that they check it first (to exclude pranksters and so on). You don't need any further references, titles, experience, ... to get included on these pages.

Hmmm...any serious work done on this thing, yet? As in, a university-grade excavation or survey? It looks kind of big; however, if there is any "stone construction" here, it's entirely possible that the neolithic (or whichever-age) peoples could've dug into the hill and excavated some "chambers" inside it (a la Malta's Hypogeum), rather than actually building that entire hill piece by piece. At least, it's a more practical scenario. But of course only a properly-trained archaeology team would be able to make any useful determination.

But oh wait, properly-trained archaeologists are evil, supressive, and not to be trusted. Some one fetch Erich!

Here is a link to some photos of recent escavations.

http://www.piramidasunca.ba/indexbh.htm

It is in bosnian language AND IT ONLY WORKS IN IE , english version does not have these photos.

On the left side find "Aktuelnosti" click on it and go to dates from 17.04.2006. to 24.04.2006. u will find photos there.

This is a link to a site in english but I think it has less photos.

http://www.bosnianpyramids.org/

Here are links to some news videos.

http://cbs2.com/video/?id=16960@kcbs.dayport.com

http://www.kare11.com/video/player.aspx?aid=25913&bw=


I am from bosnia and public here is just as divided about this as is public on this forum. I think that estimates about the age of this building are not right but it is certain that Osmanagic has dicovered something huge here.

I just watched an episode of Discovery, wherein they discussed this find. Thyey noted that theses are the only pyramids in Europe, and showed some footage of the site, including a cleared area where Osmanajik says there are formed stones which make the wall of the complex.

Frankly, I couldn't see anything which clearly said "manmade", but I'm not an archaeologist.

I noted that at the end of the program there was a blurb that mentioned the claims are coming under increasing skepticism from archaeologists and other scientists and that more research is being called for.

Default Pyramid update

The pyramids have been refuted by the Archaeological Institute of America.

http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/osmanagic/

The best part of that article is the new words you can learn from it:
Quote:
And the term "pyramidiot" has been applied to those obsessed with pyramids and who offer strange interpretations of them on websites and in books and televsion programs.

Thanks for the article. Yes, I figured something was not right when they mentioned 12,000 years old for a construction time. I wonder if this guy is associated with the Edgar Cayce Foundation in any way.

The Cayce Foundation has been throwing around that same time period as the date that the Atlantian survivers began building the Great Pyramids. A few years ago, I remember a few "archaeologists" that were trying to prove Cayce right.

From here

Quote:
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.
