The Ministry of Culture of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina wants to put an end to the funding of the project “Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun.” Opinions on the subject as well as on the pyramid phenomenon are so divided in Bosnia that some public persons, who have denied the existence of pyramids, said that they would set themselves on fire if those were really proven to pyramids.

Numerous politicans have given support to the research in Visoko, formerly a royal town. Experts have protested and the people find all this interesting.

“The pyramids” are a natural formation

However, Culture Minister Gavrilo Grahovac decided to shut down the source of funding, at least this one, because this was not a serious archaeological research. The credibility of the people who collaborated on the project was “unreliable” and they have published their findings that were kept away from the experts.

The scientific research team has proved that the hill Visocica is a natural geological formation and its relief is the consequence of natural tectonic movement.

Suspicious activities

The present appearance of Visocica is the result of structural factors and climate changes at work. By acting on its own initiative, the foundation does not act in keeping with the existing regulations of archaeology, in spite of being registered at the B-H Justice Ministry, and its registration itself ought to be looked into.

Before coming to this conclusion, the Ministry consulted with the B-H Academy of Arts and Sciences, the committee for the preservation of national monuments, the Archeological Museum, the Tuzla Faculty of Mining, Geology and Civil Engineering, and the Federal Geology Institute.

Osmanagic: We have done more than the Ministry of Culture has in the last 12 years

Of course, the foundation responded.

They think that the Federation government has reasons to support the project because it has developed a positive image of B-H in the world. In fact, they think that it has done more than all the projects of the Ministry and the five aforementioned institutions put together have in the last 12 years. They are denying the claims that their staff is not qualified, they claim that they delivered the reports, and they are presenting their project in global proportions.

The head of the foundation, Semir Osmanagic, or the Bosnian Indiana Jones as they call him, has accused his detractors of having spent the last year amending the law and increasing the protected zones on the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun 98 times and making excavations on the pyramid impossible.

“They are continuing to put pressure by threatening federal and cantonal ministries not to finance or cooperate with the foundation and its projects related to protection of the cultural legacy of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” the foundation points out.

As Bonscharo said thier funding is not that much to make a diffrence, even if it was, i rekon there are enough people who would voulenter to work on it, and im sure people willing to invest.
But as for governments look at the Chinese govt they do practaclly nothing to promote,investgate, thier pyramids, wich it is said there are over a hundred of them.

A good con-man can always get people to invest, doesn't make it right. The important thing is that the real Experts have called it a sham (Mining, Geology, Archaeology), and an affront to Bosnia-Herzogovina's dignity. With so much amazing real archaeology being ignored and plundered shouldn't someone, somewhere, especially Bosnia-Herzogovinians be shouting this from the rooftops?

Please dont start a thread about "supposed" Chinese Pyraminds, the Chinese Govt. rigorously gives funding to archaeology (e.g. Terracota Warriors) but will not countenance fraudulent claims.

OK, The terracota army is connected to one pyramid. but tell you what im not gonna help you here, but google chinese pyramids and you will see how little information there is on the pyramids of china wich is thought to be a hundred. and the few sites you will find all carry the same basic information. so sir, yes the chinese govt do not do much to promote thier pyramids.

i also know that our dear CAPITAL HILL(Visocica) which has 3-4 civilization remains on it has been in ruins for past 20 years... overgrown with weeds and whatnot... is that a way to preserve national history ??? go to "VISOKI" look around and you will NEVER consider saying anything about amazing bosnian archeology being ignored...
I mean for god sakes until 2004 our medieval capital wasnt even a national monument i think thats says enough about how much my dear country cares.

P.S. let me ask you one thing before i go have you EVER heard of anything coming from Bosnia connected to the field of archeology.... other than Butmir, pyramids and stone balls???? now be truthful and don't go googling.
also remember those last two were Osmanagich's finds...

what are you smoking
the chinese pyramids are a tourist attraction
hers a webpage that a tourist set up on them ten years ago
http://www.trilobia.com/pyramids.htm
the sites that carry the same basic information are the pseudohistory sites, which normally talk crap about them being secret and hidden by the chinese govt
but thats what you get from reading crap websites
you just get crap
"the chinese dont do much to promote them"
dude several of the pyramids (which are actually mausoleums) have museums attached to them

actually Bosnians are shouting me being one of them
but our words are a bit different .... they sound something like this "WHAT IS IT TO YOU"
P.S. what dignity are you talking about ???
there is amazing archeology being ignored >??? this just made me slap myself.. i mean REALLY i just did it .... i am from the country... i know the situation... i also know that our dear CAPITAL HILL(Visocica) which has 3-4 civilization remains on it has been in ruins for past 20 years... overgrown with weeds and whatnot... is that a way to preserve national history ??? go to "VISOKI" look around and you will NEVER consider saying anything about amazing bosnian archeology being ignored...

That site is maintained by a tourist.

That site is maintained by a tourist.
Show me sites not just the tercotta army but many sites and archelogical excavations of the pyramids, released an maintained by the chinese govt. not one dude.
it dosent matter if they are written in Chinese just show me they exist. i have some Chinese mates here they can translate it.
by the way they were the ones telling me that the Chinese govt dont promote the places much. and very little archelogical work done on them.
.

People like you really make me wish that they find a huge pyramid in Bosnisa.

a minute ago you were claiming that the chinese pyramids were a government secret
then after I showed you a ten year old website by a western tourist you claimed it wasn't valid because it was maintained by someone who's been there
clearly you're just mouthing off here on your personal belief
youre saying that the chinese govt doesn't publicise them on any website
like this one created by the Xian Tourist board ?
http://en.xian-tourism.com/index.asp
youre a complete no hoper Louie
if you don't think something exists because your imagination says so then you spread that disinformation without bothering to see if its true
how you feeling now ?

btw get yourself a dictionary and look up the correct spelling of Archaeological, or ask one of your chinese friends to help

yeah I'm sure youre just itching to tell someone "i told you so"
keep dreaming

It is now known, thanks to efforts of Chris Maier, that the particular pyramid shown in the photo is the Maoling Mausoleum of emperor Wu of Han, just outside of Xi'an

nice diatribe
typical of someone who just got owned
face it Louie
you dont have a clue what youre talking about
as for the site I posted showing mausoleums and not pyramids, yes that one which you claimed didn't exist
is it possible that you don't know that the pyramids that you have been going on about from a position of total ignorance are mausoleums
thats funny

maybe you should start here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_pyramids
pay attention where it states in plain english
heres a helpful defintion from dictionary.com just for you
1. a stately and magnificent tomb.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mausoleum

blew the last clinging shreds of credibility totally away there didn't you

Owned, who uses that term, are you some kinda redneck.lol.lol

I never said the pyramids were a govt secret, i said they are not very well publicised by the govt.
OH Im a loser, resorting to insults is normally a sign of someone backed in a corner. the sites you gave are maulosiums not pyramids. you can get pictures of the Chinese pyramids if you google it, it shows they are not very well maintained.
and if the chinese pyramids are so well promoted an maintained by the govt, how come people very rarley hear about them, Egypt does a lot to promote thiers, and yet very few people even know that thier are pyramids in China.
and ive been watching you insult people for some time now about thier theorys (admitidly some of the theorys are a bit far out) but for centurys now people have dreamed of finding lost cities of gold, lost cities underwater, lost cities in the centre of the earth, a lot of people here know its fantasy but like having some mystery attached to the storys. have you realised the name of this site is called unexplained mysteries,why dont you join a archelogical forum where you can discuss facts with real archelogists. and not come in here barking like a jack russell at the heels of people who are sharing theorys and storys they have heard.
at least the people here are open to theorys, weither they are right or wrong, but they have the manners to listen, and accept its somebodys theory,
And back to the loser snipe. ive a feeling with you its, Little Man Syndrome.
so why dont you chill and just enjoy the ride. after all its not gonna shake up the world now is it.

"Owned" = term used mostly by teenage boys who are playing either FPS (First Person Shooters) or Games Like WoW, Diablo and so on lol

apollyon, I used to think you were a person who could give a good arguement by looking at facts and not just chewing on people. You are getting more and more rude IMHO.

It seems funny to point out the chinese pyramids are mausoleums, when isn't that exactly what the Egyptian pyramids were designed as. Even if, as some say, no bodies actually ever were intered there?

Pyramid as used in this thread, clearly refers to any roughly pyramidal structure. That is a common useage of the word in English. The hills being excavated in Bosnia fit that description and so can be called pyramids. Whether they are man made is another issue. I vote for natural, but many still are looking for evidence and I respect that.

youre still unsure if the Hill in Visoco is man made or not and youre telling me to look at the facts
know thyself

also youre saying the egyptian pyramids were designed as mausoleums ?
are you sure
that seems a bit bold for UM

I think the "bit bold" is you Apollyon. What is the matter? Did you get out of school for the summer and now you are bored? Just exactly how are you such an expert on all this? Are you a college professor or perhaps a student? Maybe some kind of professional in the field of history or natural science? I myself am a Mechanical engineer working at Intel. I was also in the US Army in Europe in the 90s. So I feel qualified to comment on many subjects here. What are your qualifications, quick wit and Google fingers?

I usually do a little research before making a statement. Right now I'm researching You.

So far I see that your local time is eight hours ahead of mine. That means you are not in the US. It would have to be the UK, Portugal, or the west end of North Africa. France and Belgum is too far. From your use of English and your wittiness I'd guess southern England. From the way you type I'd say a young man, maybe 20.

Edit: You mention in another thread that a mullet is a fish where you come from. The UK does love eating mullet. Also you said he could more rightly have called you a goon. Again an UK word.

apollyon, were do you do your research?

Military Intellegence IS an oxymoron. A clumsy, blind moron. This I know.

At least now you aren't using a Woot in every post.
