BOSNIAN PYRAMIDS : EXCAVATIONS CONTINUOUSLY REVEAL NEW STONE BLOCKS

VISOKO,Bosnia - On the Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon. On location # 20, excavations continued towards the southeast, following the layer of blocks that are in good condition. Location # 19 – excavations continued with the direction of the hill's radius. Previously excavated plateau is sloped at the west and it goes in the direction of southeast.

On the plateau of the Moon pyramid, location #22, five new layers of stone blocks were dug up. As excavations are going deeper into the ground, thicker blocks are found. The fifth excavated block is 20 cm thick.

Two new probe sites were excavated in the vicinity of location #22, and at the depth of 110 cm, blocks were found, having perfect geometrical shape. Excavations also continued on the top of the pyramid, and the current depth is 48 m.

President of Archaeological Park Foundation; Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun, Mr. Semir Osmanagic, had a meeting in Bijelovar (Croatia)with the foundation's friend, Mr. Drago Plecko. Mr. Plecko is a noted author and researcher. Promotion of the books «Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun» and « Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids» was arranged, as well as the presentation of the Foundation's project. «Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids» will be published in the near future.  Local media outlets covered this event, including the daily newspaper „Samoborski glasnik“.

SEMIR OSMANAGIC AND DRAGO PLECKO

 

The city's public library, „Petar Preradović“ in Bjelovar, was packed with people, where Mr. Osmanagić presented the latest scientific evidence that support the hypothesis about the existence of Pyramids in Visoko. A two hour discussion followed after the presentation on different aspects of the Foundation's Project. 

The research project in the Valley of the Pyramids is continuously attracting large number of visitors

On new location # 23, which is located on the plateau of the Moon pyramid, Foundation's expert team started excavations within the range of two smaller sites, with dimensions of I = 1,60 x 1,20 m, and II = 1,40 x 2,60 m.  The goal is to connect them into one large site. Both micro sites are revealing the presence of two layers processed sand blocks, evenly thick, having dimensions of 8 cm in the upper layer and 12 cm in the lower.

Work continued on location #19, and on location # 20 excavations are completed. At the moment, the work is being done to preserve this impressive terrace. Location # 9 was also active, where a sewer was dug.

At the very top of the pyramid, drilling continued, reaching the depth of 55m.
