Mr. Mark Rose

Dear Mr. Rose,
In response to your question regarding the “pyramid” in Bosnia, here is my answer:
The discoverer of the “pyramid” in Bosnia, Semir Osmanagic, who claims that a hill
near the Bosnia River is a man-made structure built before the end of the last Ice Age, is not a
specialist on pyramids. His previous claim that the Maya are from the Pleiades and Atlantis
should be enough for any educated reader.
This “pyramid” is actually a sloping hill near a village. This was famous in the Middle
Ages as a meeting place for merchants. What was found there is really just a mass of huge
stones, evidently a natural geologic formation. The stones do not match, and there is no
evidence that they were put together to form a solid structure. No one can say that these
stones were transported by human beings since each weighs approximately 40 tons. Apart
from its general outline, this hill bears absolutely no resemblance to the Egyptian pyramids.
Mr. Barakat, the Egyptian geologist working with Mr. Osmanagic, knows nothing about
Egyptian pyramids. He was not sent by the SCA, and we do not support or concur with his
statements.
Other archaeologists, such as a specialist in Prehistory at the National Museum in
Sarajevo named Zellika, have stated that Mr. Osmanagic is giving out false information.
What can Mr. Osmanagic use to show the age of the “pyramid?” No archaeological materials
have been found near the pyramid. Mr. Osmanic’s theories are purely hallucinations on his
part, with no scientific backing.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Zahi Hawass
