The Ministry of Culture of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina wants to put an end to the funding of the project “Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun.” Opinions on the subject as well as on the pyramid phenomenon are so divided in Bosnia that some public persons, who have denied the existence of pyramids, said that they would set themselves on fire if those were really proven to pyramids.
Numerous politicans have given support to the research in Visoko, formerly a royal town. Experts have protested and the people find all this interesting.
“The pyramids” are a natural formation
However, Culture Minister Gavrilo Grahovac decided to shut down the source of funding, at least this one, because this was not a serious archaeological research. The credibility of the people who collaborated on the project was “unreliable” and they have published their findings that were kept away from the experts.
The scientific research team has proved that the hill Visocica is a natural geological formation and its relief is the consequence of natural tectonic movement.
Suspicious activities
The present appearance of Visocica is the result of structural factors and climate changes at work. By acting on its own initiative, the foundation does not act in keeping with the existing regulations of archaeology, in spite of being registered at the B-H Justice Ministry, and its registration itself ought to be looked into.
Before coming to this conclusion, the Ministry consulted with the B-H Academy of Arts and Sciences, the committee for the preservation of national monuments, the Archeological Museum, the Tuzla Faculty of Mining, Geology and Civil Engineering, and the Federal Geology Institute.
Osmanagic: We have done more than the Ministry of Culture has in the last 12 years
Of course, the foundation responded.
They think that the Federation government has reasons to support the project because it has developed a positive image of B-H in the world. In fact, they think that it has done more than all the projects of the Ministry and the five aforementioned institutions put together have in the last 12 years. They are denying the claims that their staff is not qualified, they claim that they delivered the reports, and they are presenting their project in global proportions.
The head of the foundation, Semir Osmanagic, or the Bosnian Indiana Jones as they call him, has accused his detractors of having spent the last year amending the law and increasing the protected zones on the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun 98 times and making excavations on the pyramid impossible.
“They are continuing to put pressure by threatening federal and cantonal ministries not to finance or cooperate with the foundation and its projects related to protection of the cultural legacy of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” the foundation points out.

B-H has gone from being a country torn by war to the laughing stock of the whole archaeological world
how is that a positive image
Newtron surely the biggest lie Osmaganic has said publically is that this was a 12,000 year old man made pyramid.
or didn't you hear him say that ?

Well said Marduk - if in a rather acid manner.
One must look at the good side for the forces of "belief" they will now be able to claim that the hill was actually a pyramid and they were stopped by the evil people who actually wanted evidence to back up the claim of a pyramid instead of new age insistence.
Of course the evidence shows that Osmie was making stuff up big time.
Ordinary watchmakers repair our watches and put them into accordance with Earthly time. It is my theory that the Maya should be considered watchmakers of the cosmos whose mission it is to adjust the Earthly frequency and bring it into accordance with the vibrations of our Sun. Once the Earth begins to vibrate in harmony with the Sun, information will be able to travel in both directions without limitation. And then we will be able to understand why all ancient peoples worshipped the Sun and dedicated their rituals to this. The Sun is the source of all life on this planet and the source of all information and knowledge. ...And with a frequency in harmony, the Earth will, via the Sun, be connected with the center of our Galaxy. These facts become exceptionally important when we realize that we are rapidly approaching December 2012, a date which the Maya have marked as the time of arrival of the Galactic Energy Cluster which will enlighten us.

Here's another interesting bit:
Members of the Governing Board of Foundation "APBPS" headed by President of the Governing Board Semir Osmanagic hosted on Saturday the ambassadors and officials of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, China and Poland in BiH.
Egyptian Ambassador Ahmed Khattab told Fena that the representatives of the diplomatic corps toured the Bosnian pyramid of the Moon and the complex of underground tunnels that, according to the hypothesis, connect all facilities of significance in the Bosnian pyramid valley.
�I think that this is not the work of the nature, but that human hand had processed and laid these plates and blocks. This is supported by the fact that these pyramids, as well as those in Egypt, are oriented towards the sides of the world. Naturally, science will give the final word, but we are here to support the Foundation and see how we can help the research�, said Ambassador Khattab.
�In 2006, the Egyptian Government sent several eminent experts to the Bosnian pyramid valley and declared that there is more than enough reason to continue the cooperation between the Egyptian exports and the Foundation. Thus, in this year, several Egyptian experts would contribute to successful continuation of the research�, Egyptian Ambassador told Fena.
They must all think he's a liar too!
I would suggest that the Egyptian ambassador is not qualified to tell
lets ask a famous Egyptian who is what he thinks shall we

Mr. Mark Rose

Dear Mr. Rose,
In response to your question regarding the “pyramid” in Bosnia, here is my answer:
The discoverer of the “pyramid” in Bosnia, Semir Osmanagic, who claims that a hill
near the Bosnia River is a man-made structure built before the end of the last Ice Age, is not a
specialist on pyramids. His previous claim that the Maya are from the Pleiades and Atlantis
should be enough for any educated reader.
This “pyramid” is actually a sloping hill near a village. This was famous in the Middle
Ages as a meeting place for merchants. What was found there is really just a mass of huge
stones, evidently a natural geologic formation. The stones do not match, and there is no
evidence that they were put together to form a solid structure. No one can say that these
stones were transported by human beings since each weighs approximately 40 tons. Apart
from its general outline, this hill bears absolutely no resemblance to the Egyptian pyramids.
Mr. Barakat, the Egyptian geologist working with Mr. Osmanagic, knows nothing about
Egyptian pyramids. He was not sent by the SCA, and we do not support or concur with his
statements.
Other archaeologists, such as a specialist in Prehistory at the National Museum in
Sarajevo named Zellika, have stated that Mr. Osmanagic is giving out false information.
What can Mr. Osmanagic use to show the age of the “pyramid?” No archaeological materials
have been found near the pyramid. Mr. Osmanic’s theories are purely hallucinations on his
part, with no scientific backing.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Zahi Hawass
Secretary General, SCA
Hey how is that UNESCO certification going?

But what Osmanagic has found is worthy of further study. Period.
Can you deny that?

he has wasted tax payers money digging up a hillside making Bosnia the laughing stock of the archaeological world and destroyed genuine archaeological sites along with slagging off half the qualified professional in europe in his mad dash for a book deal
in most countries hed be charged with fraud
at the very least
in Bosnia I expect if he doesnt get to the airport in time he'll probably get dragged out back and shot
