Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun Loses Funding Published: June 11, 2007
The hills in Visoko are a natural formation and not pyramids, as Semir Osmanagic wishes to present them, says Bosnian Culture Minister.
“The pyramids” are a natural formation
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. [Source]
UPDATE 28 June 2007
Just weeks after the Bosnian Ministry of Culture cut funding to the excavation of alleged pyramids in Visoko, excavations have resumed.
A short note appeared on Semir Osmanagic’s website for the dig stating: “Local government has decided to issue permissions for digging to foundation to be able to prove existence of the first Pyramids in Europe.”

Are these people visiting it because they think it's man made or because they just think it's beautiful? Coz it's obviously not man-made.

Who was that again who believed that those hills were really pyramids and was so excited about it they kept posting about it??
I forgot, but I believe the guy posts in the political section.
And who was it again that answered with this quote: "Lord, please give white people their own pyramids!" LMFO Posted by Myra Wysinger (Member # 10126) on :

Ray 2006 I think!
And for the quote it was probably Masonic Rebel's, that guy has the same sense of humor as me!
But yeah I'd been looking into it and this comes as no surprise to me really.
What I'm worried about is the people there, they really got some folks hopes up I'm sure.
I wonder if the acient date could have come from the fact of them being natural. I wonder how they dated it, too.
