Blog 6: The Bright Side of Bosnia: The "Pyramids" of Visoko

"Pyramids"of Visoko

Speculation, Science with a wink or earth shocking news?

The “Bosnian pyramid” debate began on October 26, 2005, with an article in the Bosnian daily newspaper Dnevni Avaz, which was later translated to the BBC website. According to this article, there is in Bosnia, near the town of Visoko, a pyramid similar to the Egyptian ones, called by many, “Europe’s first pyramid.”

In April 2006 excavations began on the site, led by a Houston-based metalworker, Semir Osmanagić, who claims that the structures were most likely constructed by the Illyrians, and that the pyramid was therefore built between 12,000 and 500 BCE. The “pyramid,” at that moment, became a celebrity, received a name, Pyramid of the Sun, and began to multiply, as it is now talked about as the center of an entire “Valley of Pyramids.”

According to Osmanagić, there are four other ancient structures in the valley: the Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon, “Bosanska Piramida Mjeseca;” Bosnian Pyramid of the Dragon, “Bosanska Piramida Zmaja;” Bosnian Pyramid of the Love, “Bosanska Piramida Ljubavi;” and Temple of the Earth, “Hram Zemlje.”

Archaeological discovery of the century? The experts say probably not. Where Osmanagić sees all the elements of a ceremonial megastructure–four perfectly shaped slopes pointing toward the cardinal points, a flat top and an entrance complex–professional archeologists see an angular mound and an overactive imagination. Osmanagić’s critics accuse him of promoting pseudo-scientific notions and damaging a legitimate archaeological site–a medieval walled town sits atop the “pyramid”–with his excavations. Throughout all the negativity, Osmanagić remains determined to prove his case. The dig continues.

We visited this so called "Pyramids". I doesn't really make sense if the story is true, I recognize a lot of spectaculation and overactive imagination, but it is a nice positive element compare with many of the sad historical facts of Bosnia. And if true, yes than it is earth shocking news and than we can say that we were amongst the 1st visitors 😊

With a little bit fantasy this mountain with four shaped slopes could contain a "pyramid".

The "Pyramid" from the air

Following the story this "pyramid" is approx. 30.000 years old (Gizeh's pyramid in Egypt is 4.500 years old) and is 220m high (Gizeh's pyramid in Egypt is only 147m high). Interesting is the orientation of the "pyramid" which is 0 minutes and 12 seconds deviation from the cosmic North which is more accurate that the pyramid of Gizeh which is 0 degrees and 2 minutes from the the cosmic North. Also some other "pyramids" can be found around Visoko.

The speculative story about the energy production and the energy resonance (7,83 Hz which should be ideal for physical, mental and spiritual advancement) is feeding the sceptism by historians.
