Local Town gets behind Pyramid excavations 27 Jan 2008
The large Conferenec room of the City Hall in Visoko was filled to overflowing last week as 250 people from Visoko came to find out how the Pyramid
excavations at Visoko Valley will change their town. Semir Omanagic, who is heading up the project, talked about how the excavation work has progressed during the last three years and how jobs and income could be created by the project.
As well as presenting the work done to date on the excavations, Osmanagic discussed media interest in the excavations and growing support for the project which, he believes, will result in the world's biggest pyramid being confirmed at Visoko Valley.
He compared restoration work at Visoko to the work done by Mexican experts on the Toutihucan pyramid. While the project will take time to develop, it will bring regional economic benefits, said Osmanagic. The meeting was broadcast live on local television.
However, the Foundation Archaeological Park Bosnian Pyramid Of Sun that is responsibly for the excavation work is also facing its own difficulties. This includes changes in local laws that have made it more difficult for the excavation work at the Bosnian Pyramid of the sun to continue.
However, the Foundation will work with other cultural organisations to help to preserve Bosnian culture and history. One of its projects is the search for the grave of the Bosnian king Kulin Ban which is believed to be in the Visoko area.
The Foundation's work will continue during the winter months, clearing tunnels and strengthening them. The tunnels currently being explored lead inside the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun, says Osmanagic. The Foundatiom believes these tunells are several kilometres long and that most are under the town of Visoko city and coneect all three pyramids.
Osmanagic wrote three years ago that these tunnels represent one of the most complex structures on the Planet Earth. To get the full picture of Who, When, and how these pyramids were built will require several decades, in order to put all the jigsaw pieces in place. He believes that the pyramids will show that intelligent human life existed in this region earlier than offical history is telling us.
The Foundation is open to all experts of orthodox science or alternative scientists, and asks that people who are coming to work at Visoko to
announce themselves to the Foundation and to share their findings with them.
The Mayor of Visoko was also at the meeting. He announced that the city of Visoko will give financial support for this project and will work closely with the Foundation. A new infrastructure will be introduced, including tourist offices, signs, parking, camps for visitors, information points (different languages), and offical tourist guides. The citizens of Visoko want hundreds of experts, students, lecturers and volunteers to come to Visoko to work on this project.
