  • A new "expert" for Mr. Osmanagic’s Foundation!



    Article published on 2 March 2008
    by Irna
    Among the Bosnian bloggers who, for two years, have exposed the various pseudo-archaeological manipulations by Semir Osmanagic and his friends, some use serious critical analyses, and some - or sometimes the same ones - prefer to use humour and derision. Among the last, one of the most formidable is the one who writes, under the pseudo "Izmo (…)

    Article published on 26 February 2008

    Imagine: in place of Bosnia, you have Peru; in place of a pyramid, you have a cyclopean fortress; in place of mythical Atlanteans, a legendary Inca hero; in place of a Texan businessman, the mayor of a Peruvian town, owner of a touristic company... So, the context is given, let’s tell the tale. On the 10th of January 2008, the Peruvian (…)

    In lack of "scientific reports", quite rare these last months (and that’s not surprising, see here), and in lack of new "discoveries", the Foundation website doesn’t offer these days, beside some promotional material about Mr. Osmanagic’s presentations, more than a few revivals of old photographs: "extracts from the photo documentation" or (…)

    Article published on 7 February 2008
    by Irna
    The supporters of parasciences consider the debate as the struggle of open, revolutionary minds, against the censorship of an omnipotent and sclerosed institution, which tries to suppress the truth in order to ensure the perenniality of its domination. This schematization, that will be called here "appeal to Galileo", is founded upon the (…)
