Who Built the Bosnian Pyramid?
The mystery surrounding the pyramid-shaped hill in Bosnia deepens. Its dimensions seem a little too precise for it to be a natural formation. And now diggers have apparently found carefully cut stone blocks and what appears to be a paved entrance to the structure.
But not everyone is buying the pyramid explanation:
[The] theory has been disputed by a number of experts who claim that at no time in Bosnia's history has there been a civilization able to build monumental structures and that the hill is simply a weird natural formation.
So there has never been anyone in Bosnia capable of building a pyramid, eh? Are these "experts" sure about that? I mean, we all have a pretty good idea as to who really built Stonehenge, don't we?
Alternatively, with a nod to reader Mike D, maybe the pyramid was built in imaginary time at right angles to normal spacetime. In addition to possibly accounting for the Bosnian pyramid, I think the flexiverse model has a good chance of replacing "my dog ate it" as an excuse base for not getting homework done.
Comments
Seriously, how could a primitive people governed by mere circadian rythms and the need to honor a Sun-god ever get the engineering design for something as complex as a pyramid? Perhaps they never looked at rays of sun light cast through some clouds. Match the corresponding angles and build to the divinely inspired proportion. Guess what, there is an exact scalar that will make an enlarged version of that pyramid touch the sun at 1 AU distance. It's pretty amazing what clever solutions can be found for problems without a formal education in the "right" way to solve them.

I think these experts may be falling into the ancient/primitive fallacy. That's the idea that because people lived in a less technologically advanced time they were less intelligent.
Hardly. People were just as smart here as in other places in the world. And there was travel. Couldn't an early Egyptian or Babylonian version of Marco Polo have brought Pyramid tech to Europe?

I've read an interesting article on www.bosnian-pyramid.net about the corners of the pyramid. It would be an easy way to proof quickly the existance, but they dig near the corners but not the corners. Then they've dug somethin on the top of it, but not the top!? I've seen some pictures on www.pyramids-in-bosnia.info that really let me think again about this whole thing. Every day I believe less in this mystery.
