Near the city of Visoko, 30 km north of Sarajevo, there is a stone pyramid of monumental size, claims the Bosnian archaeologist Semir Osmanagić, who lives and works in the USA.
After several months of geological and archaeological research, Mr. Osmanagić concluded that under the present hill of Visočica hides a stairs-like pyramid, about 12,000 years old.
Osmanagić, who intensively researched on pyramids in Americas, Asia and Africa for the last 15 years and wrote several books on the subject, says he’s quite sure he found the first pyramid in Europe, which is quite similar to ones in the Southern America.
He believes that the project would completely change Bosnia’s significance in the world of archaeology.
On the top of “Bosnian pyramid of Sun” was a temple, built by pre-Illyrians, people who lived, according to Osmanagić, 27,000 years ago.
Mr. Osmanagić thinks he will solve the “Bosnian pyramid of Sun” in the next five years, but also prove the existence of “Bosnian pyramid of Moon”, lying under the neighboring hill of Križ.
According to BBC, the leading Bosnian newspaper “Dnevni Avaz” writes:
“The pyramid is 100 meters high and there is evidence that it contains rooms and a monumental causeway … The plateau is built of stone blocks, which indicates the presence at the time of a highly developed civilization,” the daily explains.
“Archaeological excavations near the surface have uncovered a part of a wall and fragments of steps,” it reveals.
“Visocica hill could not have been shaped like this by nature,” geologist Nada Nukic tells the daily. “This is already far too more than we have anticipated, but we expect a lot more from further analysis,” she concludes.

Man, however did he find it?
Oh yeah: he looked for the MASSIVE PYRAMID-SHAPED HILL :)
So he should start digging now …
Does anyone know the coordinates of this pyramid so I can see it on Google Earth?
Good point! loeakaodas – I second you… anyone? please?
Here are the coordinates for google earth: 18.18,43.99000000000002,0
Unfortunately, the region is not in high-res.
wow this is cool, please provide more info
nice find.
Sure its a Pyramid?
For those who want more images, here’s a link to a Bosnian forum. It’s in Bosnian, but you can see the view of the hill from the town of Visoko, Bosnia.

Images from the drill can be found here. According to people from this project, they found layers of clay, than “concrete” stone (!), “ornamental stone with addition of metals, rubble etc.

They could use that machine that sees lots of tiny particles falling through Earth from space – apparently this would allow them to see everything inside the pyramid without digging it up.
A similar machine was used by a research team in South America recently to study pyramids there.
Begs the question ‘why did none of the people in the surrounding houses notice it before ?’ Simple, becuase it’s a hill !
I’m a bit skeptical. Does anyone know the university / research center funding Mr. Osmanagić’s work?
It would be cool if it were real, but the dates given are very unlikely — much too old. The first agricultural civilizations started around 8500 BC. Hunter-gatherers don’t have the population density or resources to do projects like that. That, along with grandiose claims based on minimal data leaves me highly doubtful.
I’ve seen naturally-formed hills that looked more man made than that one. The stonework and metal are likely from thousands of years of habitation by agricultural peoples.
If he does it right, he’ll use scientifically-sound methods of digging and recording data, and that information should be presented for peer review. But, I don’t think we’ll be seeing this “pyramid’ featured in National Geographic any time soon.
That is because aliens helped build it.
