"No pyramids"
No news from Dr Schoch’s report since he came back from Bosnia; however a text from him (en) has been published on Colette Dowell’s blog on the 26th of August 2006, about the "alleged pyramids". Not very surprisingly when one remember their first impressions (see here (en)) his conclusion is "No pyramids".

Frictions inside the Foundation ?
It seems that some people, inside the "Bosnian pyramid of the Sun" Foundation, have begun to distanciate themselves from it and its foundator. It may particularly be the case with Senad Hodovic, Director of Visoko Museum, who was the official "guarranty" of the project, and who was not exactly the same kind of "pyramidomaniac" as Mr. Osmanagic (see here (en)).
