The Bosnian Pyramid
On our way to dropping the Americans off at the airport, we stopped in Visoko,a city about a half hour's drive from Sarajevo. IF you where unaware, a Pyramid has reportedly been discovered in Visoko, on one of the many mountains in the area. When we got off the bus, everyone was looking around wondering where it was. It certainly doesn't look like much of a pyramid up close, but we were about to get closer.
We hiked up the steep streets for about 10 minutes till the pavement stopped, then started climbing up the mountain. The stairs up the mountain are simply cut out from the hill. they were pretty big steps, and some of the older people in our group thought that it could have been more accessible.
Here we see a lot of rocks. In fact, the whole thing seemed to be layers of layers of broken up Concrete. Yellow concrete yes, but the engineer in our group had some theories involving concrete. I'm not sure what I think about the whole thing
One of the workers there explained some of the work they were doing with the pyramid. They aren't allowed to excavate the whole thing, because there's a historic city at the top of the mountian. He was explaining why this pyramid didn't look like the ones in Egypt and what they are doing to find out what the nature of it is. Obviously pyramids differ across the world according to building materials. This pyramid was likely made out of clay and rock. I didn't catch all of what he was saying, but it seemed reasonable.
All the yellow tape made it look pretty scientific, so I was impressed. I don't really know if it's an actual pyramid. My guess is that the builders built upon the mountian, with layers of whatever building material they used. We might never know, but what's known for certain, is that the lead excavator is a crazy guy, and this pyramid will never get academic acceptance as long as he is in charge.
I saw some more excavating on TV last night, they must have been working on a different side of the mountain, because the stuff on TV didn't look lame like the stuff we saw. The crazy guy was standing in a square hole they carved out. It seems that the pyramid is made of many layers going fairly far down. The stuff on TV looked fairly impressive, I guess it wasn't open to the public yet.
