Researcher Says Balkan Hill Is Pyramid

Visocica Hill Is 2,300 Feet High

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina -- A Sarajevo-born researcher said he has discovered an ancient pyramid in the hills of central Bosnia.

Pyramids are always an interesting subject.

[satchmodog9]

Yes they are.

[cripplecreek]

I know that some folks get excited about the fact that there are pyramids around the world. The fact is that a pyramid is a pretty basic structure.

Interesting in any case.

"The fact is that building a pyramid is fairly easy, aside from the lifting. You just pile up stones in receding layers, placing one layer carefully upon another, and pretty soon you have a pyramid. You can't help it. In other words, it is not in the nature of a pyramid to fall down."

-- Will Cuppy, 1884 - 1949

So everyone there was an Amway salesman?

That makes sense. People built all sorts of structures by piling up stones, and the only ones that are still standing are pyramids :-)

[Ostlandr]

There's a very ancient tradition where when someone dies, the relatives build a cairn of stones to protect the body. Every time someone comes to visit the grave, they add a stone. The more important the person (generally speaking) the bigger the pile of stones. The discrepancies would no doubt lead to cairn envy.
Perhaps some self-important personage decided to order his cairn built while he was alive, and the rest (as they say) is history.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I heard Shep Smith (Fox News) say that the pyramid was 10-20,000 years old. Now, that's the oldest pyramid I've ever heard about , if true.

From your link.

I expect that his asteroid is in a rather empty part of space.....where he'd like it.

It is a theory that could be proved right or wrong by digging. Would be interesting to learn if it is.

... it is not in the nature of a pyramid to fall down.

[A CA Guy]

I think this is all part of a big pyramid scheme. :-)

[RIGHT IN LAS VEGAS]

We got it all!

[AntiGuv]

If your photo is meant to imply that the pyramid fell down, that's probably not true. The limestone casing blocks of Snefru's Pyramid were evidently stripped away for other building sites, primarily between the 19th Dynasty and the 22nd Dynasty. The pyramid didn't fall down; it was torn down.
