Mr. Osmanagic explains the pyramids to the visitors

This interview - commented by myself - was made by a visitor at the foot of the "pyramid of the Moon" (Pljesevica), probably at the end of the 2006 summer; and this visitor had the opportunity to benefit from Mr. Osmanagic’s scientific explanations. The below extracts - that tell us more about (...)

Geology of the Bosnian "pyramids"

During the summer of 2006, the excavations made by the "Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun" Foundation on the two hills of Visocica and Pljesevica have revealed some features (sloping stone slabs, "pavements" and "terraces") that can, for the layman, appear as artificial. But all these features can (...)

The "Pyramid of the Moon" - Pljesevica

Begun in April 2006, the excavations have taken place, till May, exclusively on Visocica - the "pyramid of the Sun" - and it was not considered (en) to dig on the other "pyramides" in 2006, nor even in 2007. However, a news from the 14th of May (en) on the Foundation website announced the (...)

The "Pyramid of the Sun" - Visocica

When the excavations began, on the 14th of April 2006, Visocica hill, called "pyramid of the Sun" by Mr. Osmanagic, was the main center of interest for the Foundation. At that time, Visocica was supposed to be the only one to be excavated during 2006, and even during 2007, when there was just (...)

"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 remembers their first impressions (see here) his conclusion is "No (...)

A certain lack of professionalism

The 2006 excavation campaign has begun in the "valley of the pyramids" in Visoko on April 14th, and it is supposed to continue until the end of October.

First impressions from Robert Schoch and Colette Dowell

Some news from the foreign scientists

It has been shown in this article how the "international team" mentioned by the Foundation has soon been revealed an almost empty claim, even if Mr. Osmanagic supporters continue on a regular basis to announce (en) (see the news of the 8th of June 2006) the arrival of scientists from every (...)

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 "guaranty" of the project, and who was not exactly (...)

From Nenad Djurdjevic, alias "Hyperborean", trying to explain why the Turin Polytechnic report has never been published:

"To reveal the chemical composition of the high strength concrete of the Bosnian pyramids would be like revealing the formula for Coca-Cola. I do not think that Osmanagic, who is an excellent businessman, would be so naive and stupid as to do so. Just imagine the value of this formula in construction."

«But as a doctor I think the problem is to be found somewhere else and is psychological in nature.»
