9,000 year-old ancient European pyramids ?

[Maciamo]

We have had to wait until October 2005 to realise that the 213m high Visočica hill in Bosnia was actually an ancient man-made pyramid, part of the so-called Bosnian pyramids (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_pyramid). Bosnian-American author Semir Osmanagić has suggested that these Bosnian pyramids could have been constructed as early as 12,000 BCE, but most probably in a period ranging from 12,000 BCE to 500 BCE.

The complex would have comported 3 pyramids, the 220m high Sun Pyramid (one third taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza), as well as a smaller Moon Pyramid and (Bosnian) Dragon Pyramid.

Excavations are still under way and are expected to be completed for 2012, by which time we should know more about the actual age and function of these remarkable monuments. Agriculture came to Europe from the Middle East and Anatolia about 9,000 years ago. It first spread to South-Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Greece, and the rest of the Balkans), so Bosnia was among the earliest argicultural society in Europe (around 7000 BCE), before Italy. This would make it unlikely that the pyramids were built before 7,000 BCE. The absence of mention by the Romans and Greeks would mean that it was probably not used anymore by 1,000 BCE. That still leaves a timespan of 6,000 years...

History books may soon be teaching that the greatest pyramid on earth was not that of Cheops, in Giza in Egypt, but that of Visočica in Bosnia.

old news lol

I'm not so up-to-date with this, but I believe discussion about these ''pyramids'' is going nowhere. I'll check it and post. and some pics too, if you're interested.

old news lol

This is not the news section, but the history section.

[Alma]

sorry, didn't mean to sound rude.

anyway, about pyramids - it is not confirmed that they are really it. Visoko used to be one of the kings town, so these maybe just remains. we will see. i truly hope for it, but doubt it.

[Kinsao]

Be fascinating if it is the case! *_*

[Maciamo]

It seems that this piece of news was a hoax after all. Indeed, how could they have built a pyramid 1/3 taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza several millennia before agriculture or domesticated animals reached the region ?

[LeBrok]

I watched TV program couple of years ago about these pyramids. It turned to be a scam created by Semir Osmanagić, just to make few millions in donations from overexcited supporters.

Is this possible? I think Yes.

But is it true? I think they must make excavations, if there is any pyramid it will be very interesting.

It's another thing which Balkan share with Egypt: Haplogroup E-M78

The Balkans share haplogroup E-M78 with Egypt, but not Bosnia-Herzegovina, which is a hotspot of I2a2, because the Neolithic reached this isolated region much later than Serbia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia or Albania.

The place where is thought to be the pyramid, is so near Serbia border, that we cannot know exactly if it was E or I haplogroup.

In old times the population moved often and masively, to find better hunting, or new lands for cereals.

So, for such a distance as it is some 30 km, we cannot know exactly.

And in old times it must have been enough one person to tell another population his secrets of sciense etc,

And another question:

Is there any link, between Lion of Aurignacian and the Sfinxes of Egypt??

It will be nice to have in Europe a country which also have those remarcable kind of constructions....

"Oh, great Quetzalcoatl, our true God that sleeps inside the pyramid,
wake up and destroy with a bolt that damned church from the catholic mafia.
Your sons need you, and that your wrath fall also against similar churches,
and their false religious leaders, and also against these currupt and traitor politicians,
that keep Your people in the oblivion."
