British Expert Nixes Bosnia Pyramid Claim
An AP newswire article by Aida Cerkez-Robinson, via CBS News, reports that:
British archaeologist on Friday rejected claims that a hill in central Bosnia is a man-made structure that many local residents insist is a pyramid.More here.
Professor Anthony Harding, who is president of the European Association of Archaeologists, visited Visocica hill and said the formation was natural.
"Not any evidence at all has been found" to support the claim the site would be an archaeological site, he said.
No pyramids are known in Europe, and there are no records of any ancient civilization on the continent ever attempting to build one.
The pyramid theory was launched by an amateur researcher last year but it has been disputed by a number of local and international experts, who claim that at no time in Bosnia's history did the region have a civilization able to build monumental structures. They say the hill is simply a strange natural formation.
