    Article published on 22 September 2008
    by Irna
    So, the great "international scientific conference" (en) that Mr. Osmanagic organized in Sarajevo has come to an end; the Chinese archaeologists talked about the Chinese pyramids, the Egyptian archaeologists talked about the Egyptian pyramids... and Mr. Osmanagic’s associates gave their usual "arguments": perfect geometry, proto-script, and (…)

    Article published on 13 September 2008
    by Irna
    Table of contents One more One less One more Mr. Osmanagic definitely has no luck with the archaeologists. He could not obtain, from the few Egyptian archaeologists and egyptologists he managed to invite to his "international scientific conference" (en), more than a few vague conclusions (en) saying that it is necessary to "answer the origin (…)


  • Help save Vjetrenica



    Article published on 27 August 2008
    by Irna
    Table of contents For more informations Several speleologists and scientists from Bosnia and Herzegovina have sent, a few weeks ago, a public petition to protect Vjetrenica; their text can be found here in English, and there in Bosnian. Vjetrenica is a wonderful cave in the Popovo Polje, a karstic polje in the South of Bosnia and Herzegovina.


  • Some thoughts about Dr. Nabil Swelim’s report



    Article published on 26 August 2008
    by Irna
    After Dr. Barakat’s report in November 2007, a second report from Egypt about the "Bosnian pyramids" was published in March 2008 by the team of Mr. Osmanagic’s Foundation. This one is Dr. Nabil Swelim’s report (en), written in February 2008 following his visit to Bosnia from the 30th August to the 12th September 2007. Dr. Swelim, a former (…)


  • "What happened to the objective and unbiased journalism?"



    Article published on 16 August 2008
    by Irna
    "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OBJECTIVE AND UNBIASED JOURNALISM?" was the title of an article published on Mr. Osmanagic’s Foundation website (en) in December 2007. It was an attack on the journalist Vuk Bacanovic, of the magazine BHDani (bs), following the publication of articles disclosing various facts that proved of some embarrassment for the (…)


  • Beneath contempt



    Article published on 14 August 2008
    by Irna
    Beneath contempt: what other way is there of describing the events of the last few days at Visoko? As can be seen here, during the night of 6th-7th of August, the excavations of the mediaeval fortress of Visoki, at the top of the hill of Visocica, which Mr. Osmanagic persists in describing as “the highest pyramid in the world”, were subjected (…)


  • The fortress that just wouldn’t go away…



    Article published on 11 August 2008
    by Irna
    Table of contents Last minute news! «There’s nothing up there at all! Not so much as one stone on top of another! When the Turks burned it to the ground 500 years ago, they left nothing standing.» These were the words that, whilst giving a presentation about the “pyramids” of Visoko at the end of the summer of 2006, Mr. Semir Osmanagic (…)


  • Pareidolia



    Article published on 2 July 2008
    by Irna
    Mr. Osmanagic’s Foundation (bs) mentions today the fact that an "interesting artifact, bearing the face of a little girl", was found in a ravine between the "pyramids" of Sun and Love: Source

    Article published on 8 June 2008
    by Irna
    Table of contents "Mud-cracks" "Flute casts", "groove marks", "tool marks" and "load casts" "Molds", imprints from concretions or crystals A few examples of what Mr. Osmanagic would probably call "artifacts... "Mud-cracks"


  • In which the "proto-Bosnian" alphabet is mentioned again



    Article published on 26 April 2008
    by Irna
    Readers will perhaps recall that one of the most outlandish claims of Semir Osmanagic’s Foundation was the discovery of certain symbols in the Ravne Tunnel, three kilometres from the Pyramid of the Sun. Muris Osmanagic, their "finder", considers them to be a proto-Bosnian alphabet, "the ancestor of all European alphabets", from Phoenician to (…)
