  • The "discovery" of the pyramid of the Sun



    Article published on 17 July 2006
    by Irna
    Semir Osmanagic relates his discovery in his book about the pyramid of the sun ("Bosanska piramida Sunca", that you can read here (bs) in Bosnian, a partial translation in English is here (en)). During a trip across Bosnia, with his friends Bojan Zecevic and Jovo Jovanovic, a trip apparently aimed at studying the "stone spheres", these (…)


  • The book "The Bosnian pyramid of the Sun"



    Article published on 17 July 2006
    by Irna
    Table of contents Introduction Chapter one: genetic anthropology changes our familiar view of the world Chapter 2: The "stone spheres" phenomenon Chapter 3: Biogeometry Chapter 4: The Bosnian pyramid of the Sun Chapter 5: The Adriatic Basin, jewel of the world archaeology Appendixes I will try here to summarize the content of Semir (…)


  • Some news from the foreign scientists



    Article published on 30 June 2006
    by Irna
    It has been shown in this article how the "international team" mentioned by the Foundation has soon been revealed an almost empty claim, even if Mr. Osmanagic supporters continue on a regular basis to announce (en) (see the news of the 8th of June 2006) the arrival of scientists from every country (Egypt, India, Pakistan, Mexico...), and even (…)


  • Frictions inside the Foundation ?



    Article published on 30 June 2006
    by Irna
    It seems that some people, inside the "Bosnian pyramid of the Sun" Foundation, have begun to distanciate themselves from it and its foundator. It may particularly be the case with Senad Hodovic, Director of Visoko Museum, who was the official "guaranty" of the project, and who was not exactly the same kind of "pyramidomaniac" as Mr. Osmanagic (…)


  • A "perfect" pyramid?



    Article published on 28 June 2006
    by Irna
    Table of contents Which size? About the terraces One of the first questions that can be asked, concerning the "pyramid of the Sun", is that of its exact shape. Indeed, the "perfect" shape of Visocica is often stressed by Mr. Osmanagic, and is used as "proof" of its artificial nature (meaning: nature cannot have produced so perfect a shape): (…)


  • The "family circle"



    Article published on 16 June 2006
    by Irna
    The last part of the Osmanagic’s team (see the previous texts about the "ghost", unknown or "embellished" scientists) is what I would call the "family circle": people which place in the project seems to depend on their familial or friendly relations with Mr. Osmanagic. First among these people, one can find Muris Osmanagic, Semir’s father. (…)


  • Using the appeal to authority



    Article published on 14 June 2006
    by Irna
    I have shown, here and there, that Mr. Osmanagic’s team was partly constituted of "ghost scientists", either people totally unknown of the academic world, or foreign scientists that were never aware that they had been included in the team. However, along with the "ghost scientists", there are in Mr. Osmanagic’s team as listed on the Foundation (…)


  • Google doesn’t like Bosnian scientists



    Article published on 14 June 2006
    by Irna
    I have shown here that a large part of the foreign scientists, claimed by Mr. Osmanagic in 2006 to be part of his team, never intended in fact to participate in his project. If one now takes an interest in the local members of the "scientific team", one will soon discover that Google, as well as Google Scholar, have a strong prejudice against (…)


  • Ghost scientists



    Article published on 13 June 2006
    by Irna
    According to the Foundation website, and the daily news given by the Foundation, Mr. Osmanagic has been able to gather, for the excavations of the "pyramid of the Sun", an important team, both qualified and international. The composition of this team was given on the Foundation website (a mention of these "committees" can be found in a press (…)


  • Semir Osmanagic



    Article published on 12 June 2006
    by Irna
    Mr. Semir Osmanagic, born in 1960 in Bosnia, and living in the United States (Houston, Texas), presented as an archaeologist (en) in the first news, is in fact a businessman. According to the article about him in Wikipedia (en), he is the owner of the Met Company (en) in Houston. In Sarajevo he studied political and economic science (see this (…)
