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?

"Noah’s Ark", fresh water tank, and ice melting
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 content.
The title is "Kako je moglo nastati ovo sto imamo i kako mi to gledamo danas, poslije 100 dana radova", or: "How could have originated what we have here, and how do we consider it today, after 100 days of work". It is about, as the title says, giving a progress report about the "pyramid-shaped (...)

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 the works by Mr. Cakic and a few others, the privilege of an English translation. Mr. Muris Osmanagic, Mining Engineer and politician, is here playing the part of an archaeologist, an epigraphist, a cartographist... and shows that he has plenty of imagination.

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 certainties. Unfortunately, this monument of the scientific thought has not been translated in English, you can only read it in Bosnian (but the pictures in the text are a marvel by themselves!). Called "superupitnik" ("super-questioner") by the Anti-Pyramid-Web-Ring (bs) bloggers, Mr. Cakic assumes (...)

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 federal TV). He is, during these first days of March, in Europe, and more precisely in Stonehenge, which has inspired him with some surprising thoughts, for instance that, if the "original builders are unknown", the area was inhabited by people as different as "Druids, Celts, and Romans" (what! you (...)

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 here the famous "proto-Illyrian" script identified by Mr. Osmanagic Senior on a "monolith" buried in Ravne tunnel, a script, according to his discoverer, made of "52 different symbols", but of which in fact only 4 or 5 are photographed and visible on the Foundation different documents. As far as I (...)

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 people who signed in for the Foundation newsletter, so that I guess it will be published very soon. What is this news? It appears that a group of children from the village of Dautovci, West of Buci hill - the so-called "pyramid of the Dragon" -, have accidentally discovered, near the top of this hill, (...)

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 ancient worlwide sea-borne civilization. I hope the visitor had at least a smile reading it; for myself I had much fun writing it, and it seems that the administrator of the forum bosnian-pyramid.com (en) found it funny enough to paste it on the forum (on which I am banned):
This has indeed given a (...)

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 formidable is the one who writes, under the pseudo "Izmo Guglic" (transparent allusion to the delirious heading "Iz mog ugla" on the Foundation website), the Expert blog (bs).
The "expert" Izmo has taken litterally Mr. Osmanagic’s attacks against "official science" and the "armchair scientists", as well as (...)
