The "deliriums corner"

A new heading appeared on the "pyramid of the Sun" Foundation website, it is called "Iz mog ugla"; it could be translated as "From my corner", "From my point of view": there are gathered several "personal" writings by various members or friends of the team, among which some are, at the very least, somewhat delirious... However whimsical these writings are, one can deem that the Foundation "assumes" them in a way, by publishing them on its website - at a time, a "call for scientific contributions" intended for this part of the website was even visible on the home page. Should we then admit that the persons in charge of the Fondation consider as "scientific" the texts that are here commented?

His Royal Highness Prince Mensur or: the pyramids, the comet and the Queen of England

Regular readers of this site may recall an individual who played a relatively minor role in the ‘pyramids’ affair, Dr. Mensur Omerbashich, with whom I exchanged a few emails in 2007. Dr. Omerbashich, a geophysicist, claimed that he offered an alternative interpretation of the Visoko ‘pyramids’. (...)

A new "expert" for Mr. Osmanagic’s Foundation!

Among the Bosnian bloggers who, for two years, have exposed the various pseudo-archaeological manipulations by Semir Osmanagic and his friends, some use serious critical analyses, and some - or sometimes the same ones - prefer to use humour and derision. Among the last, one of the most (...)

An "April Fools’ day fish" during the month of May?

The visitor passing on this web site may have read this text published on the 1st of April, in which I announced the discovery, by Mr. Osmanagic and his team, of an extraordinary archaeological treasure of sculpted and engraved fishes that confirmed their most extravagant hypothesis about an (...)

The pyramid fishermen: an extraordinary discovery!

I received this morning some news that will, if confirmed, make me totally change my opinion about Visoko site and its interpretations by Mr. Osmanagic’s Foundation. The news, at the time when I’m writing, has still not been published on the Foundation website, but it was communicated to the (...)

Of credulity

There is no limit to the credulity of those who want to believe... One can find an evidence for this in the extraordinary story made up, not, for once, by Mr. Osmanagic and his fellows, but by a few enthousiastic "supporters" on some pro-pyramids websites or forums. I have already mentioned (...)

A little bit of numerology

In a news dated 2 March 2007 (en), the "Bosnian pyramid of the Sun" Foundation informs us that Mr. Osmanagic goes on with his world tour "in search of the lost civilizations" (this tour being intended for a "scientific" emission with that same title that will be broadcasted on the Bosnian (...)

Mars, Egypt, and Bosnia

Two months after the publishing of his first text in the heading "Iz mog ugla", where he tries to demonstrate that the "pyramids" of Visoko were in fact gigantic survival rafts, Goran Cakic is back on the Foundation website, with a really revolutionary text that will shake all our scientific (...)

Tombs, megaliths, and mysterious symbols

After the brilliant text by Mr. Goran Cakic about the use of the "pyramids" as "new arks", the new work which appeared in what I have called the "deliriums corner (bs)" on the Foundation website is written by Mr. Osmanagic Senior, Muris. It is a series of four texts which have had, contrary to (...)

In the new heading appeared on the Foundation website, "Iz mog ugla (bs)", the first personal "work (bs)" is written by the graduate engineer Goran Cakic. The text is in Bosnian - and I doubt that it will ever be translated in another language - but I’ll try here to give a rough idea of its (...)

From Mensur Omerbashich, King of Bosnia and other realms:

"Gravity is found herein to be the repulsive mechanical vibration of the aether, meaning that aether-detection experiments have yet to become sensitive enough."

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."

From Paolo Debertolis, alias "Pablito", dentist and big fan of pseudoscience, about his interlocutor who was trying to understand why the "reports" from the Foundation were not translated or not published:

«Ma come medico credo che il problema sia da ricercare da qualche altra parte e sia di natura psicologica.»
«But as a doctor I think the problem is to be found somewhere else and is psychological in nature.»
