Bosnian Pyramids...

Yesterday Mr B and I went on a mini adventure to the Bosnian Pyramids. I have to say I was quite sceptical whether or not these massive hills were, in fact, ancient pyramids, but it would appear that some excavating has now been done by archaeologists all over the world and they have now discovered that these areas are man made. They are yet to confirm that they are in deed pyramids, but it would appear most are leaning that way.

If this is true it will be huge news for Bosnia, as well as for historians and archaeologists everywhere, as it would mean these are the largest pyramids in the world and also possibly the oldest. Follow the link to find out more, or just google Bosnian Pyramids and there is a wealth of news coverage and website references.

Mr B and I drove through Visoko to the base of the hill, where we intended to climb up to the archaeological site, but our way was blocked by an 'official' who wanted to charge us to climb the steps. Only 2KM each towards the dig, but it was not a voluntary donation it was a charge, so we decided against it. For now it is nothing more than a big hill where they have exposed some brickwork, so a bit naughty to charge people to climb it. It does not belong to anyone at this stage either, so a voluntary donation would have been suitable.

Instead we took a drive up around the back of the hill where we climbed up to the ruins of a fort built atop the 'Pyramid of the Sun'. We climbed to the top and looked out on a beautiful 360 view of the surrounding hills and mountains and down to the River Bosna. For all we know we could have been sat on the top of the oldest pyramid still in existence. Pretty great for a Sunday lunchtime!!

Gorgeous view of the valley. Outskirts of Visoko.
