Blocks of Bosnian Pyramid 13 february 2009

Builders of the Bosnian pyramids used a cement-like substance to help build the ancient structures in the Bosnian Valley of Pyramids, according to the Kemal Kapetanovic Institute from the University in Zenica, Bosnia Herzegovina.The Institute has published the first results of archaeological samples taken from a number of locations in the Bosnian valley of pyramids.The builders behind the Bosnian pyramids made their own building materials and a type of ‘concrete’ to create the architectural forms found in the valley. The institute’s findings suggest that the builders used gravel, available in quantities at the time, which they bound together using various natural materials. Professor Muhamed Pasic from the Kemal Kapetanovic Institute said that the builders understood the properties of clay, including its elasticity, hygroscopicity, and that lightly baked clay mixed with water possesses binding properties. Other materials they used included a lime hydrate, which was used to bind the grains of gravel.Prof Pasic explained that the builders would make a gravel-like mix which included gravel, binding materials and water. This was mixed at the site and the substance poured between the slabs at the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun to ‘fix’ them into place.The gravel-like material that they made the pyramid from is reminiscent of today’s machine-mixed cement but is much stronger.The samples of these substances, taken from the Bosnian Valley of Pyramids, will also be sent for analysis to some of the leading institutions in Europe and America

  

Their most remarkable feature is their decorative motifs, many of which remain enigmatic to this day. Spirals, arcades, rosettes, vine leaves and grapes, suns and crescent moons are among the images that appear. Figural motifs include processions of deer, dancing the kolo, hunting and, most famously, the image of the man with his right hand raised, perhaps in a gesture of fealty. The most beautiful of the stecci graveyards is that at Radimlja, near Stolac (wikipedia)

    

An archaeological site in Donje Mostre, in the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramid, has unveiled a Neolithic artefact that has been dated to 6000-3000 BC. The discovery was made by students of the German University of Kiel on September 23, and was announced by Zilke Kujundžic, who is actually one of the main opponents to the pyramid project, having filed numerous petitions for the work to be stopped, claiming the entire project is a hoax. We need to specify she actually labelled the object a pyramid.
The small ceramic pyramid – in some reports also referred to as a benben stone, because of apparent visual similarities with such stones in Egypt – is a major discovery, showing that local people, millennia ago, created ceramic objects in the shape of a pyramid. One can only wonder why, noting that Donje Mostre is also the location where giant rectangular stone blocks have been found, some of which are definitely manmade.

 

Nevertheless, being the extreme (one might argue irrational) critic she is, Kujundžic has refused to admit she might be wrong, stating that the find is “not related” to the nearby pyramids. Meanwhile, Kujundžic was also accused of not having shared the discovery with the local Visoko museum. It is no doubt divine irony that some of the best archaeological evidence for the reality of the pyramids, has been unearthed by one of its fiercest opponents.

The summit of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun is home to the Royal Town of Visoki which was last inhabited in the 14th century. Following the Turkish invasion, this town was burnt down and today there are few traces of it.
Little national importance was attached to the site, including from the Ministry of Culture, until Semir Osmanagic presented his plan to protect this area and all other cultures of which traces have been found here (including the Romans and Ilirians).
It is commonplace to find a range of different cultures on ancient pyramid sites. For example, in South America churches were built on top of pyramid structures.

STONE BALLS of BOSNIA

Bosnian writer Ahmed Bosnic has recently returned from the Valley of River Bosna (Bosnia) where he visited the village of Ozimici and found a significant concentration of the stone balls found across Bosnia. He was in the company Dr Aly Abd Barakat , Egyptian geologist (Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority. ), who confirmed that the balls were a manmade rather than natural phenomenon.

The existence of the balls in this region was not known until an earthquake 12 or 13 years ago revealed them. They vary in size with the largest measuring 1.7m high and with a circumference of 5.3m.

Theory is that the balls were created at the same time as the pyramids in the Bosnian Valley of Pyramids and that their existence proves an ancient civilisation existed in today’s Bosnia. This location will soon become protected as a National Park and will be recognised as one of the sites of archaeological significance in Bosnia.

Bosnic also visited Mecevici (Zavidovici) which contains more than 20 of the mysterious stone balls, measuring from a few centimetres’ diameter up to 3m in circumference. The picture shown indicates the size of one of the balls found.

  

Stone balls found in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Mysterious carved stone balls found across Bosnia are similar to ones found in Costa Rica.To date, some 390 stone balls have been found in Costa Rica, all finely finished, but it is not clear how they were created as no tools have been found to explain this.Some of these balls were found buried together with pieces of ceramics that suggest that these balls are at least 1200-1300 years old – dating them before the arrival of Christopher Columbus.People who found these balls have said that they are always found in group of three, in the shape of a triangle, and always placed in the North-South direction. They are generally found on hills.Two of these stone balls have been transferred to the USA (National Geographic Society in Washington, and Harvard University in Cambridge).Various theories have been suggested to explain the presence of the stone balls in Costa Rica. American archaeologist Samuel K Lothrop (“Archeology of the Diquis Delta, Costa Rica”, Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, 1963), for example, concludes that there is evidence that the stone balls have been oriented astronomically.There has been little theorising to date about stone balls in Bosnia. Explorer Semir Osmanagic first heard about their presence from a Bosnian friend, Bojan zecevic, in 2004. They then contacted Bosnian historians and created a team to explore the phenomenon of the ‘Bosnian Stone balls’ .They first explored the North West region of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the village Trn near the town of Banja Luka they found that two balls had been used as part of a foundation of a house, each with a radius of 30-40 cm. They were finely polished and heavier than normal stone. A short distance from the house they found the pieces of a ball that had been cut in half; the damaged ball has a radius of one metre.In the North Bosnian village of Teocak, eight balls have been found. All these balls are geometrically shaped but none of them are finely polished. They are granit and some of the balls have holes across their surface.These stone balls have been found in several locations - a restaurant in Vares has even been named after the stone outside and is called ‘Kugla Restoran’ or Stone Ball Restaurant.The largest stone ball found in Bosnia (near the village of Slatina, Banjaluka) is unfinished. Historians believe that it would have been polished to complete the geometric shape of the ball Geologist Mile Vujacic believes that the Bosnian stone balls were produced naturally by water shaping the rock over a long period – although this conclusion is uncertain given the number of locations where these stone balls have been found and their correct geometric shape.No one can be sure just how many of these stone balls exist in Bosnia but the number found to date may represent a small fraction of the true number. The balls have been buried over hundreds of years and only accidental findings are bringing them to light.

Theories behind stone balls remain elusive

Explorer Semir Osmanagic has recently returned from a visit to Mexico, in the town of Gudalahare,where he has been investigating the presence of stone balls, resembling those found across regions ofBosnia.He found hundreds of stone balls on the Cerra Piedras Bollas hill. There was only one reference to these stone balls,reported in the National Geographic magazine in 1968. The archaologist who found and reported the stone balls could notbelieve that primitive Indian hands could have created the objects, which were up to 4m diametre and weighed as much as 50 tonnes. He visited a geologist in the region who told him the local theory that the balls were thrown by a volcano, some 30km away, millions of years previously.However, most of these balls are concentrated on one hill in the region, so discounting that theory, in addition to the

geometric shape of the balls. Another local belief, that there was gold at the centre of the balls, has resulted in damage to many of the stone balls Osmanagic saw.All these balls must be the product of intelligent human beings, yet historians have all but ignored their presence - these objects have only, for example, received one small mention in National Geographic, several years before. Little significance has been placed on their existence. On examining one of the balls in the village of Ahualulco del Mercado, Osmanavic concluded that it was created by the same methodology as that used to create stone balls in Costa Rica and Bosnia and using the same material. There is nothing in our current understanding of history that explains the presence of these stone balls.

Thats pretty interesting stuff I never knew other cultures besides ancient egyptians used slaves. however as too the big balls i'd say they were there to signify direction and they weren't supposed to dilapidate and be there forever so someone took time to build these towards that purpose.

[Diajin]

Ok that made me sound stupid i meant to say i didn't know ancient bosnian's impliminted slavery i thought it might be funny cause even though im white my family history leads us throught the bonds of slavery in occurences of it in history as far back as the ancient egyptians

[AndrewX]

Ok that made me sound stupid...

Ya don't say Diji?

lolol 

... i meant to say i didn't know ancient bosnian's impliminted slavery i thought it might be funny cause even though im white my family history leads us throught the bonds of slavery in occurences of it in history as far back as the ancient egyptians

Who said that the pyramids were built by slaves anyway?  The history books that were all written by Jesuits?  The history books say all sorts of things have been proven wrong, I'd be very weary of any documented history in excess of 100years old.  Less than 100years old I'd still be cautious... including anything that pertains to documented family bloodlines more than 4 to 8 generations back depending on the family... including my own.

My country ;)

I have never been to Visoko, so I cannot say if these "pyramids" are truly pyramids or someone's vivid imagination. Some people say there are pyramids, some people that there isn't absolutely anything.But, recently many people have reported sightings of bluish and reddish blinking light above the pyramids, they say it could be UFOs.

These stone balls can be found all across the Balcans. One of them is in village in Serbia, Kremna, where famous prophet Mitar Tarabic is from. People believe it brings good luck, so every young married couple wants to touch the ball. Semir Osmanagic says these balls couldn't be man-made because of their absoultely perfect shape.


Stecci are specific for the Bosnian culture in the dark ages. My history teacher said this man on stecci with his right hand raised symbolizes peace.

Who says these pyramids were made by Bosnian people? No one knows for sure who made them, perhaps the Illyrians.
One of the theories I heard is that one of those pyramids is the grave of Attila the Hun.

Osmanagic has connections to the US Defense Dept.He's not "clean" in the least.These pyramids are not that important anyway.
