In April 2005 I first travelled to the town of Visoko, 20 miles northwest from Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina. My attention was caught by two regularly shaped hills, which I later named the Bosnian Pyramids of the Sun and Moon.
For thousands of years locals have considered those hills to
be natural phenomena because they were covered by soil and vegetation. However,
when I first saw their triangular faces, obvious corners and orientation toward
the cardinal points, I knew that they had to be constructed by a force other
than nature. Since I had been
investigating pyramids for decades I knew that the pyramids found in China,
Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador had the same type of soil and vegetation
coverage.
In 2005, work was begun on this project and construction
companies and geologists were paid (out of my pocket) to do core drilling and
geo-morphological analysis. We then announced to the world, at the press
conference, that the first pyramids in Europe had been discovered.
