  • Addressing Invented Heritage: the Case of the Bosnian Pyramids



    Article published on 2 June 2011
    by Irna
    Table of contents Abstract TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Abstract This dissertation explores a specific case study of pseudoarchaeology—the Bosnian pyramids—in order to address and challenge certain mainstream archaeological assumptions about ‘alternative’ claims to the past.

    Apparently, my article on stecci and "hijacking" by Mr. Osmanagic and his friends did not necessarily find favour in the eyes of quite everyone. At least, not in the eyes of one of the ‘researchers’ from the ‘SB Research Group’, Professor Paolo Debertolis, an odontologist by profession (and be careful not to refer to him as a "dentist", a (…)

    Table of contents Stecci Stecci and the world of “alternative archaeology” Of the many distressing aspects of the Bosnian ‘pyramids’ affair, surely, one of the most painful in the eyes of those who cherish and study Bosnian historical and archaeological heritage, must be the way in which the Osmanagic foundation (and its subsidiaries) (…)

    The website of Professor Debertolis (it) of the ‘SB Research Group’ (see here for information about this group) informs us that a film on the subject of the Visoko ‘pyramids’ was recently screened (bs) in Sarajevo to an audience that included the director and Mr. Osmanagic [13].

  • Discussions of the pyramids "affair"



    Article published on 28 April 2011
    by Irna
    The Bosnian pyramids affair has given birth to some more or less academic discussions and thoughts, not about the “pyramids” themselves, but rather about the context and the impact of this affair on the Bosnian society. I’ve collected here some texts about these discussions. Fictitious pasts: a danger for European archaeology? During the (…)
