ICBP Book 2008 Released

First International Scientific Conference about the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids (ICBP) was held in Sarajevo (Bosnia-Herzegovina), from August 25-30, 2008: www.icbp.ba

English Edition of the ICBP Proceedings has just been published. This is unique collection of 50 articles about the Pyramid Science and comprehensive scientific investigation of the Bosnian pyramids in Visoko. Authors are coming from fourteen countries: Egypt, China, United Kingdom, Austria, Poland, Germany, Brazil, Serbia, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Croatia, Russia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Book consists of 800 pages and more then 1000 color photographs and graphs.

Complete archaeological report of the distinguished Egyptologist and three times PhD in archaeology dr. Nabil Swelim was published in the Book. He claims that "Great Pyramid of the Egypt is the greatest pyramid and Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun biggest pyramid in the world". Russian geophysicists, academician dr. Oleg Khavroshkin and prof. dr. Vladislav Tsyplakov have three reports about geophysical, geochemical and seismic screening of the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids and claim artificial properties of the pyramids. Leading European scientific institute LGA Bautechnik from Germany performed geo-radar screening in Visoko (team lead by dr. Andreas Hasenstab) and concluded that 44 anomalies are found under the layer of vegetation and soil (inner passageways, walls). Similar results are conformed by Serbian experts lead by dr. Dejan Vuckovic from Institute for Geophysics from University of Belgrade (Serbia).

ICBP Proceedings gives original radiocarbon dating reports of the organic material found in Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids from two Labs: Silesian University of Technology (Gliwice, Poland) and Christian-Albrecht University (Kiehl, Germany).

State Institute for Geodesy (Bosnia-Herzegovina) reported regular pyramidal geometry and perfect orientation to the cardinal points of the triangular pyramid faces. Additional analysis is done by dr. Ivan Simatovic (Croatia). Professor Muhamed Pasic from University of Zenica (Bosnia-Herzegovina) has tested almost 100 samples from the pyramids. His conclusion is that the blocks from the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun are cemented concrete blocks, and sandstone plates on Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon are cut, transported and installed.

Samples have been analyzed at Institute for construction and materials (University of Sarajevo) and Civil Engineering Institute in Tuzla, as well. Properties of the concrete material (hardness, chemical structure, low water absorption) have been confirmed. Pedologist dr. Husnija Resulovic analyzed the soil samples from the pyramids and reported that they are over 5000 years old. Geologist dr. Izet Kubar supervised 70-m core drilling at the Tumulus location in Vratnica and announced that concrete samples 2-m thick were discovered at the depth of 54 m (ceiling?), followed by 3.5 meters hollow space (possible underground chamber) and another 2 meters concrete block (tumulus foundation?).

Leading Chinese archaeologists dr. Jiao Nanfeng and dr. Cao Fazhan write about the mysterious Chinese pyramids. Discoverer of the Bosnian Pyramids, dr. Sam Semir Osmanagich gives an overview of the worldwide concept of the pyramids and road from discovery to recognition of the Bosnian pyramids. (www.samosmanagich.com)

Pyramid researchers Phillip Coppens, Maxim Yakovenko, Nenad Djurdjevic and Gabriela Lukacs write about the pyramids in Egypt, China, Italy and elsewhere.

Distinguished authors from Egypt write about different archaeological aspects. Among them; dr. Mostafa Abbadi, famous historian who established new Library of Alexandria; professor of classical archaeology dr. Mona Haggag; Egyptologist dr. Muhamed Ibrahim Aly; geologist dr. Aly Barakat; archaeologist dr. Magda Gad; historian dr. Hassan Saady; archaeologist dr. Mohamed Ghani and others.

Separate chapter is dedicated to the carved symbols discovered in the underground tunnel complex. Authors from Bosnia-Herzegovina (dr. Muris Osmanagic), Hungary (Szakacs Gabor) and Brazil (Paolo Stekel) have done in-depth analysis. ICBP Proceedings publish the articles about the archaeological tourism and planning process (Chris Norman from Scotland).

Book Publisher is non-profit "Archaeological Park: Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun" Foundation from Sarajevo (Bosnia-Herzegovina) registered for archaeological research and cultural heritage protection.

Sale price (includes handling and shipping to any country): 90 Euros or US $ 130.00 via Western Union (address: Fondacija APBPS, Zmaja od Bosne 4/X, Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina).

Bosnian Stone Spheres Revisited (REPORT)

Photo: Votive Stone Sphere in Bese, Zavidovici, Bosnia



“Do you see this fine thing? Do you admire the humanity of it? Because the human beings, my son, they believe everything is alive. Not only man and animals. But also water, earth, stone… but the white man, they believe everything is dead. Stone, earth, animals. If things keep trying to live, white man will rub them out. That is the difference.”

Visoko: Sacrificial Altar Found!

Those Who Seek Will Find

Intensive field research bears fruit.

"Sacrifice, the act of offering something to a God. Food, animals or even people was part of the religious practice of many ancient societies.”

Animal and human sacrificing rituals have been being performed at pyramids across the globe throughout history. Bloody offerings have taken place at the steps, on the steps and even inside pyramids for thousands of years. Most historic human sacrifices were to appease or please deities. Human sacrifice was an aspect of historical Aztec religion, although the extent of the practice is debated by scholars.

Human sacrifice is not generally connected with ancient Egypt, but there is some evidence that it may have been practiced in the Nile Valley during the 1st Dynasty and possibly also Predynastic Egypt. With regards to public worship in ancient Egypt, from the earliest of times, involved three types of activity, consisting of prayer, sacrifice and the dedication of votive offerings. Such activities were not limited to the piety of common people, but royalty and the priesthood's role were obviously expanded, including participation in ceremonies and other religious functions.

Animal sacrifice was practised by many religions as a means of appeasing a god or gods or changing the course of nature and it has turned up in almost all cultures, but also fruits, vegetables, crop etc. were used during religious ceremonies.

I'm pleased to use this special occasion to remind the public that a votive foot and small ceramic pyramid were found inside the Bosnian valley of the pyramids during the past research seasons.

A report will follow and more infos and high resolution images will be placed at public disposal.

Back to Bosnia: Amazing Discoveries Continue!

Giant Fossilized Footprint Found

Photo: giant fossilized footprint [length 36 cm / 14.2 in.]

Imagine walking through a wetland and having someone stumble on your footprints thousands of years from now. That's just what happened recently near Visoko on a hillcrest in Bosnia. Our team has discovered thousands of years old footprint, maybe one of the oldest known tracks of a "human".

The oldest known human footprint so far (22 cm / 8.55 in.) was discovered in South Africa and dated at 117,000 years old. The fossilized "human" footprint near Visoko may be even older, since it was found several hundred meters above mean sea level in a mountainous environment. After a preliminary inspection of the rock and surrounding area it seems that the footprint was left there long time ago by someone when the place was a wetland.

The fossilized footprint is of surprising size. Its length is 36 cm / 14.2 in. and compared to modern male shoe sizes it looks like the footprint of a giant.

A report will follow and more infos and high resolution images will be placed at disposal of anthropologists and geologists.

Back to Bosnia: New Evidence Links Stone Spheres to Pyramids!

Bosnia's Sacred Sites Suggest Relationship Between Stone Spheres and Visoko Pyramids

Photo: Top of the obelisk in Gornji Bakici, detail

After recent discoveries of stone spheres being integral part of sacred megalithic sites in Zavidovici municipality, another monument situated in the municipality of Olovo suggests the relationship between Visoko pyramids and the mysterious Bosnian stone spheres.

The obelisk of Gornji Bakici is a stand-alone monument in the forests of the omonimous village. It holds among other sacred symbolism a pyramid and a 50 cm wide stone sphere on its top (photo above).

Another curious feature of the obelisk is its perfect alignment with the four cardinal directions (N-S and E-W). Moreover, after careful measurements the southern side of the obelisk resulted pointing the Bosnian valley of the pyramids lying about 50 Km southward.

Even if the obelisk has been officially classified belonging to the Medieval period, still today his exact age is not known. However, the symbolism present in the obelisk undoubtedly confirm that it played an important role for the people who lived here in the past and that such symbolism was an integral part of their culture and religious beliefs.

Latest Discoveries Confirm Use of Stone Spheres in Sacred Megalithic Sites

Photo: megalithic block and stone sphere lying close to each other, detail

Latest research and discoveries on Bosnian stone spheres indicate that ancient man used stone spheres for ritual purposes in sacred megalithic sites. Moreover, new evidence suggests that ancient man shaped different types of rocks into round or Brotlaib forms using multiple construction methods and transported them into sacred sites situated on top of hills.

Photo right: example of megalithic stone in Brotlaib form obtained from conglomerate sedimentary rock; it is the first clear evidence about human activity in the case of the Bosnian stone spheres.

Interest in Bosnian Pyramids Does Not Diminish!

Bosnian Pyramids Attract Thousands

The Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids attracts thousands of visitors again this year. Recent sample testing of the stone blocks from the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun have confirmed ancient cemented concrete. Stalagmite and stalactite radiocarbon dating from the extensive underground tunnel complex have shown minimum age of more than 5,080 years. Core drilling of the tumulus in Vratnica area has indicated existence of possible chamber 56 meters deep under the tumulus.

These results keep the interest in the Bosnian Pyramids very high. Lot of school children from Bosnia-Herzegovina and tourists from Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Estonia, Germany, Serbia and other countries leave the archaeological locations in Visoko very impressed.
