The Sarajevo suburb of Visoko has been a busy place over the last year. An amateur archeologist with unusual ideas about world history proposed the Visocica Hill at the edge of Visoko was actually a man-made pyramid.
Not only Visocica Hill, in fact, but several other hills in the area. This isn't as far-fetched as one might immediately think. The hills have been called "pyramids" by Bosnians for centuries and there are numerous underground tunnels connecting each of them with the others.
Satellite imagery has revealed the hills sides line up perfectly with the points of the compass and heat-imaging has shown they are significantly colder (hollow?) than surrounding hills.
Experts from Bosnia had either praised the discovery, or laughed it off. Experts from around the world have stopped by, including Egyptian experts who confirmed the hills are - at the very least - primitive, man-made pyramids.
Still, though, doubt remains strong and every day brings more evidence both for and against the claim.
So, what do you think?
