Pyramids in Bosnia?

[Winston]

Looks like a cunning scheme to me.

A pyramid scheme.

Last I checked, a Macedonian conquered Egypt, not a FOPOGian.

Those silly Bosnians- if you look at the picture behind the man in the BBC link, IT'S RIGHT THERE YOU IDIOTS.

DOH! It was such an obvious pun. Why didn't I think of it?

Meh, Stonehenge is more impressive. Moving giant blocks of stone is a lot harder than hauling a bunch of dirt.

This is looking like a fake. The "stone blocks" look just like in situ sheets of rock which have spalded off due to spheroidal weathering while his "decrotive tiles" are nothing more then naturally occuring spherical water staining. I did see a picture of the "tunnel" and it appeared to be a shaft approximately 60 cm in diameter (a very tight crawl way) but I'm not sure how he's dated that to neolithic age.

The climate in places like Ohio isn't all that different from central Europe or the Balkans. I wouldn't be surprised if other civilizations also had a primative mound building stage but I wouldn't call them pyramids.

I heard about the ones around St. Louis. I hadn't heard about the rest of the Mississippi basin, but I'm not surprised.

I've also heard of pyramid-shaped mounds being spotted from the air in the jungles of eastern Peru.

Silbury Hill near Stonehenge is a man-made mound. There were legends of something in it but I think recent tests have proved its just a pile of dirt. This thing in Bosnia, if it is a man-made pile of dirt (rather than a pyramid), is a very big pile of dirt though. So, as mounds go it would be quite a good one.

I've also heard of pyramid-shaped mounds being spotted from the air in the jungles of eastern Peru.

When I went to Tikal, to see the Mayan Pyramids & Temples in Guatemala, there were huge mounds everywhere that the guide said were pyramids & temples waiting to be excavated. They were all like that once - apparantly it takes about 600 years for the jungle to reclaim the structures, and a hell of a lot of money to excavate them. Not just in Tikal either, the whole jungle is full of them. One day, maybe, the full scale of that Civ may be uncovered.

Pyramids should have been fairly easy for the ancients to build. They would have just needed a lot of rocks, a lot of slaves, some stone chistling equipment and the desire to keep their razor blades sharp.

Are you insinuating these were built as a part of the park in the 19th century and I'm just making this all up?
