ATLANTIUM Episode XXXII

HUGE PYRAMIDS IN EUROPE?

Indiana Jones the larger than life icon of the 80's blockbuster "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has nothing on Bosnian Archaeologist and author Semir Osmanagic. Semir who travels the world in search of the next great discovery returns frequently to his home base in the United States. In the spring of 2006 Mr. Osmanagic discovered what may be the biggest find of his career, literally. Near the town of Visoko 15 miles north of Sarajevo stands what Semir believes is a massive ancient Pyramid. After many months of research the archaeologist has concluded that a stone Pyramid fully one third larger than the Pyramids at Giza Egypt is buried under a mountain of earth. Osmanagic has intensely studied Pyramids in Central America, Asia and Africa and now he's certain he has found the first Pyramids in Europe.

The Bosnian Pyramid is called "Pyramid of the Sun" and is thought to closely resemble a Mayan Temple. It may be accompanied by two smaller Pyramids, "Pyramid of the Moon" and the "Pyramid of Love". This would not be surprising due to the fact that other areas around the world see Pyramids in group settings. The structures are believed to be over 12,000 years old and built by an ancient European tribe known as the ILLyrians that lived some 27,000 years ago. “The pyramid is 30 stories high and there is evidence that it contains rooms and a monumental causeway … The plateau is built of stone blocks, which indicates the presence at the time of a highly developed civilization,” says Bosnian explorer Osmanagic. “Archaeological excavations near the surface have uncovered a part of a wall and fragments of steps have been reveled". The hill under which the Pyramid is buried is called Visocica and the discoverers doubt that a four sided hill with perfectly flat sides is a product of nature. Semir is continuing to organize the excavation of the site seeking to prove his hypothesis. His discovery has kicked off a fire storm of bitter controversy. It seems the establishment of Archaeologists and Scientists in Europe have already concluded that Visocica Hill is just that...a Hill. Various groups have made numerous attempts to discredit Osmanagic, some going so far as lobbying to have him shutdown and his efforts to verify the existence of the Pyramid stopped. This is not a surprise to a contrarian explorer like Osmanagic who writes books about Mayan, Peruvian and Sumerian cultures. He has found reports among the writings of these ancient civilizations that refer to the great ancestors that came to Earth from the Stars. One fact is difficult to overlook, Pyramids are located in numbers all over our planet. Chinese Pyramids have been found, Pyramids stand all throughout the Americas, Africa and even under the Ocean off the coasts of Japan and Cuba. These structures are very similar to one another and it would be hard to deny that whoever really made these monuments were communicating with one another. In the Hebrew Bible, in the chapter of Genesis the great Patriarch Moses describes the story of the Tower of Babel. Man had advanced so far with his building techniques and abilities that he decided to construct an enormous tower that would reach to Heaven. This alarmed the Angels, and upon the word reaching God he ordered that man be stifled by changing their languages so they could not work together as efficiently. Moses a student of the upper class Egyptian education system would have been taught a version of this story which was very likely passed down from the Sumer. The continuity of Pyramids being placed all over the planet points to a distant time when a very advanced global society built these structures where they pleased. It would be completely harmonious with history to find a massive Pyramid in Bosnia or in any other location. The established notion that civilization began 7000-8000 years ago is sure to be shattered. This will require a new calibration of thinking for some and others may just refuse to accept it no matter how striking the evidence. Another notable surprise was the discovery of large stone spheres in a valley not far from the Pyramid of the Sun. These large spheres are virtually identical to the Costa Rican Spheres discovered in that country in the 1930's. This discovery further highlights the possibility that ancient man was global in his pursuits. Is the Bosnian "Pyramid of the Sun" just a big pile of dirt left from the ice age? Were Pyramid shaped monoliths found all over the globe built similar by coincidence? In the Atlantium continuum the answer is "NO". The recent discovery of ancient Pyramids under the Sea off the coast of Japan and Cuba along with dozens found in the last century indicate that a global effort was involved. Many out of place artifacts have been found in recent years that open up the possibility that an advanced global civilization covered the Earth 12,000-50,000 years ago. Still with all of our modern achievements and self proclaimed enlightenment many are unwilling to except the possibilities. ATLANTIUM. Roc Hatfield/Author
