The "Bosnian pyramids"

The "Bosnian pyramids" or "Bosnian pyramids" or "Bosnian pyramids" (Bosnian, Bosnian piramida) are a group of flatirons (en) - natural geological formations having a flat face shaped sole iron - located near the town of Visoko, northwest of Sarajevo. One of these pyramids, the "hill of Visočica" high 213 yards and a former center of the Bosnian medieval capital Visoko, has been, in October 2005, under the name "pyramid of the sun" that gave him its inventor, a media campaign presenting it as the oldest of pyramids built by human hands.

From the finding that the hill, seen from certain angles, has a pyramidal shape symmetrical, the contractor US-Bosnian Semir Osmanagic formulated a theory of archaeological claim that this form would be of human origin. His theory did not receive any recognition from the international archaeological community and was denounced by a petition of archaeologists as a "sham" and a "waste of resources.1."

Despite the disapproval of what he calls "official science" Semir Osmanagic continues its project. Excavations continue to be funded by the authorities and the pyramids are presented to school children in Bosnia as part of their patrimoine2.
