It's definitely "a well constructed arsenal". The book is from year 1841, and the french used in it is quite "old-fashioned", as can be seen by some expressions in the following pages : "dirigé dans un bon système", today we would say "dirigé, ou géré, intelligemment" ; "ce qui ne peut être assez louangé" for "le plus intéressant, le plu

I see you haven't heard of the "bosnian iron rings" : . The specialist of these is Jovo Jovanovic, one of the directors of the foundation, and "coordinator of the Subcommittee for Prehistoric Iron Rings" (see ). If you read M. Osmanagic's book on "Bosanska piramida Sunca" (I have a sh

I suspected that the length of 365 meters given for the sides of the north face of the pyramid of sun (given by the Geodesic Institute of Sarajevo in the document named "Scientific arguments" - "Naucni argumenti" on the website of the Foundation : ) was not chosen randomly. It is totally impossible to determine where the base of the pyramid is supposed to be (look at the topog

From the newspaper "Dnevni Avaz", dated 18-05-2006, this first interview with M. Barakat after he came in Bosnia :
"As soon as I came here, I saw we had to deal with real pyramids, made by man [...]. I saw all of that in one hour on the site, because it is reality. I have real proofs of this thesis, and I will validate (confirm ?) it. Before I came, I read about the findings by

In the last news from the Foundation (http://www.piramidasunca.ba/news/news_item.asp?NewsID=144) they claim they have found the "edge" of the pyramid of the Sun. It's in the probe number 17, between the north and east face of the pyramid. They say the "breccia" stones form a "perfect form of edge of pyramid". The geologist Ibrica Repisti confirms that the angles

It seems that Senad Hodovic, director of Museum in Visoko, is beginning to withdraw a little from Semir Osmanagic's project. He used to be a member of the "Board of Directors" of the Foundation (his name was, some days ago, on this page : ). He is no more a "Director", his name has been withdrawn from this page and from the same one on the bosnian version.
