Arachnae, I'd agree with you on many issues that you write about, only one thing needs to be pointed out (again) - there is already lots of images on the works of nature and geological wisdom in relation to the Visoko valley, all written BEFORE Robert Schoch invented hot water for the Sub Rosa and Daily Grail readers. The collection of links is right here, on this forum:

Thank you for pointing out the issue of the lynch of knowledge and people with knowledge. May I add that the good Doctor and his Assistant came pretty close to joining that lynch party - even before they set foot in Bosnia - when they wrote about "Arm-Chair Archaeologists" without bothering to even get themselves familiar with the state of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian archaeology or cultural-historical heritage:

"The comfort zone of the close mined and those who have written academic papers (both peer reviewed and not) who have a stake to claim in history (and they are righteously correct in their theories because of their membership in the academia club) will not be challenged and their theories will be guaranteed; they will not be flawed and exposed otherwise."

"Dr. Schoch and I both know what controversy is and I know how many “Arm Chair Researchers,” “Buffs,” and “Text Book Archaeologists and others,” react to such unorthodox reading and theories of enigmatic studies that are not in their text books or mind frame."

"There are many people at forums that call themselves “Archaeological Buffs,” that seem to pride their armchair reading over site/field investigations and education for actually acquiring a degree or being in the field of research for many decades."

"They continue forward and do not waste time weeping because certain forums with their "Buff Mentalities" and some sites who think they are the "Know It Alls" (with out being educated) --making assumptions with out even seeing in physical what is going on --publishing incorrect data and misleading info. Whatever the outcome of these excavations, I feel it will be positive, something is there, it is too soon to know what, and if there are no pyramids that will not bother me either because whatever it is we will find out and it will be uncovered and all of that is very good."

etc., etc., etc.

There was mention of rectifying the damage done to the study of the Bosnian history, in its full context. It is exactly the statements like the above quoted ones - given in prejudice and ignorance in time when all of Bosnia eagerly anticipated the visit of the good Doctor and his Assistant - that caused damage and reinforced the general public opinion in Bosnia that whatever Osmanagic is doing was good and whatever his critics were doing was bad. Gullibility or not, there is only one way to rectify that.
