Egyptian expert was examined yesterday matariel of the blocks founded on Visocica hill. After 15 minutes he said, that matarial is the same like on pyramids in Egypt. So it seem we will must correct history books in some area? I think I must dissapoint someone. Egyptian expert was examined yesterday matariel of the blocks founded on Visocica hill.

Keith is exactly right… carried away is what I was prepared to be. Stories about this “pyramid” appeared in various media outlets like BBC, Yahoo!, Fox News, MSNBC, etc. I don’t know if they carried the stories on their television outlets, but I seem to recall mention of it on CNN.

The story isn’t “pyramids in Bosnia,” its “how the media was duped.”

My instinct was to be very skeptical, but since the initial story was emailed to me from a friend, and it even made my university’s anthropology list-serve, I was hesitant to offer more than a couple of skeptical observations, such as the comment about geometrical shapes in nature above.

Thanks, Keith, for linking to the Archaeology Magazine article and setting me straight!

Somehow, the principal mystery seems to be how anyone fell for this in the first place! Before you get carried away with this story, have a look at Archaeology magazine’s online feature about it.
