"First off, by way of summarizing it all, we are still awaiting any credible evidence that these hills are man-made pyramids and that they date to the end of the Ice Age. That's the big claim, and the burden of proof is on those making it. Semir Osmanagic says, "It's such a huge construction undertaking that the only answer is, yes, this is the work of a supercivilization" (see "Pyramid Scheme" in the July/August issue of ARCHAEOLOGY; abstract here). But where are the artifacts? Where are the settlements in which the people lived? Where are the dates?
"Not any evidence at all has been found," says Harding, quoted by the Associated Press. "I've seen the site, in my opinion it is entirely natural." But the same article, widely carried with slight variations (here is one example), still describes Osmanagic as "the amateur Bosnian archaeologist who has been investigating Latin American pyramids for 15 years." The conclusions reached by him, that the Maya originally came from outer space, identify the kind of researcher Mr. Osmangic is, but that's ignored by the reporter."
Serious? Harding are asking for evidence such as artifacts and settlements. Didnt theese excavations start just a year ago? What do he expect after just scraping the surface on the hills/pyramids? Excavations in Troy started in the 1870s and are still going on..
If this this prove to be pyramids do he think they will find remains of settlements on the pyramid walls, or? Of course there will be no settlements there!
My guess such traces are buried under the city of Visiko and its surroundings. The flat sediment banks on the sides of the rivers are the places where people probably would build cities.
