Pyramids in Bosnia? Nope!
We came across a website (here) claiming that there were pyramids in Bosnia, so we headed to Visoko to check them out.
When we arrived at the main complex there were no pyramids in evidence (you would think they would stick out like, you know, pyramids).
What we did find was a small valley filled with New Age paraphernalia: healing tunnels, circles and crystals. Energy areas, “out with the bad, in with the good”.
From Wikipedia:
“Semir Osmanagić, a Bosnian-American businessman, has claimed that these hills are the largest human-made ancient pyramids on Earth. His claims have been overwhelmingly refuted by scientists but he has proceeded to promote the area as a tourist attraction.
Direct study of the site by geologists, archaeologists, and other scientists has demonstrated that the hills are natural formations known as flatirons, and that there is no evidence that they were shaped by human construction.”
My guess is that Mr. Osmanagić is an adherent of P.T. Barnum.
There was a 45 minute tunnel tour, but no dogs allowed, so we passed.
Spend a quiet night in the parking lot, except for a couple of cars that came and parked in the dark for a while. Not exactly a great make-out spot, but I guess you make do with what you’ve got!
