Imho, the Bosnian people say this because they were the war-victims. We suffered a war, so why are we not allowed to finally "have something of value". The nasty thing is that Osmanagic makes use of this emotional feelings, in a very sly way.
"A few weeks ago, a whole bus of people from the village below this site (the medieval fortress of Ostrovica) went to salivate on the "pyramid" in Visoko. Did they ever take the twenty minute walk to their own castle? In an organized, group fashion? Local community initiative, whatsoever? "
Well, mainstream people are more easily fascinated by spectacular things, certainly pyramids, even fake ones.
"Honestly, the layers of "tiles" on the Pljesevica hill can be misleading to whom has no specific geologic knowledge."
Yes. And this ignorance has been abused purposedly by Osmanagic and his foundation.
