A site known as Visocica Hill, in the Bosnia-Herzegovina town of Visoko, northwest of Sarajevo, became the focus of international attention in October 2005, following controversial claims that it is actually an ancient man-made pyramid.
The 213 metre hill, once the centrer of the medieval Bosnian capital Visoki, has a generally symmetrical pyramid-like shape when viewed from certain angles. The idea that it constitutes an ancient artificial edifice was publicised by Houston-based expatriate Bosnian author and metalworker Semir Osmanagic, whose subsequent excavations at the site have uncovered what he claims to be a paved entrance plateau and tunnels, as well as stone blocks and ancient mortar which he has suggested once covered the structure. Osmanagic has claimed that the dig, involves an international team of archaeologists from Australia, Austria, Bosnia, Scotland and Slovenia, however many archaeologists named have stated they had not agreed to participate and were not at the site. The dig began in April 2006.

I haven't heard about this, but I'm about to read up on it. Sounds interesting. It wouldn't surprise me, seeing as pyramidal structures are universal, and were built in North (Cahokia) and South America (Aztecs, Zapotecs, Mayans and others) as well as Egypt and the middle east (where they were more commonly called ziggurats, but weren't true pyramids like those built by the Egyptians and Mesoamericans). Even the temple architecture of South East Asia bares a striking resemblance to American pyramids.
It's the easiest way to build tall, imposing structures, so it's not wonder that they occurred in one form or another all over the world.
ADDED LATER: Well, I've just read the crystallinks page.... it seems there may be something there, but he's not doing his argument any favours by bringing Atlantis, Lemuria and Mu into it. It's a shame that a more conventional scientist hasn't investigated it, because even if they really are pyramids, this guys reputation will precede him and discredit ay findings he makes in the eyes of the Archeological establishment.

I read about them in an issue of Archaeology magazine. The photo with the article showed what looked like a very big pyramid, with alot of overgrowth covering it now. It's pretty interesting, though. I like lots of ancient sites.

They are not real. Some so called scientist proclaimed that he discovered the pyramids, but real scientists say that it's all phony archeology; and they are afraid that the excavations planned will destroy real historical treasures from medieval times.
