"They should be arrested and accused for fraud and false information. This is no longer a shame, this is beginning to get disgusting." I agree! From what I have heard, the Egyptian expert is in act a geologist who was in Sarajevo for a conference (hosted By Osmanagic's father...). Pramid expert?!

KOSMO, Some of my favourite inconsistencies are: 1) the first date arbitrarily announced was that the "pyramid" is 27,000 years old, then revised down to 12,000, with no explanation... But hey, it was arbitrary to begin with! 2) S.O. and company quote his own books as sources of verification of his unsubstantiated theories! 3) The attitude that people who don't believe there is a pyramid have to prove there isn't one, rather than the other way around! 4) Anoncing "exact" measurements of something which, even if it exists, is covered with earth and therefore not measurable! And that the measures are all precisely metric- exactly 365 metres per side! (this was claimed on May 4 or 5) The link to the number of days in a year is so obvious...

Has anyone noticed the inconsistencies in stating whether the alleged pyramid is "Mexican type" or "Egyptian type" - supposedly the construction technique is identical to that of the Egyptians - does this make sense if the pyramid is platformed? (I added the quotation marks because "Mexican pyramids" do not all have the same characterisitcs as the pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan or the Chichen Itza pyramid, which is clearly the model for some of the drawings I've seen. Indeed, a couple of pyramids in Mexico are round!) I have been to Visoko recently and so far have seen nothing to convince me it is a pyramid. I am not an archeologist but I have visited dozens and dozens of sites in Mexico since childhood, which in the current, unfortunate, climate, apparently makes me a qualified expert!
