Scientist: Bosnian Hill May Have Pyramid

"We found layers of what we call 'bad concrete,' a definitely unnatural mixture of gravel once used to form blocks with which this hill was covered," Osmanagic said.

"The hill was already there," he added. "Some ancient civilization just shaped it and then coated it with this primitive concrete -- and there you have a pyramid."


[. . .]

Osmanagic believes the hill was shaped by the Illyrian people, who inhabited the Balkan peninsula long before Slavic tribes conquered it around A.D. 600. Little is known about the Illyrians, but Osmanagic thinks they were more sophisticated than many experts have suggested.


The questions facing the Bosnian researchers have obvious bearing on the ongoing study of possible artifacts on the surface of Mars. I recommend we pay careful attention, particularly to the archaeological community's response if the discovery is verified.
