My coment to a post on viral marketing for the Bosnian Pyramid (hoax) founder Sam Osmanagic: Seven leading European archaeologists have issued a European Association of Archaeologists Declaration stating: We, the undersigned professional archaeologists from all parts of Europe, wish to protest strongly at the continuing support by the Bosnian authorities for the so-called “pyramid” project being conducted on hills at and near Visoko. This scheme is a cruel hoax on an unsuspecting public and has no place in the world of genuine science. It is a waste of scarce resources that would be much better used in protecting the genuine archaeological heritage and is diverting attention from the pressing problems that are affecting professional archaeologists in Bosnia-Herzegovina on a daily basis.[13] The Declaration was signed by Hermann Parzinger, President of German Archaeological Institute in Berlin, Willem Willems, Inspector General of Rijksinspectie Archeologie in Hague, Jean-Paul Demoule, President of Institut nationale de recherches archéologiques préventives (INRAP) in Paris, Romuald Schild, Director of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Vassil Nikolov, Director of the Institute of Archaeology of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in Sofia, Anthony Harding, President of the European Association of Archaeologists, Mike Heyworth, Director of the Council for British Archaeology in York.[13] Osmanagićs assertions, widely reported in the mass media, have been categorically refuted by a number of experts, who have accused him of promoting pseudo-scientific notions and damaging archaeological sites with his excavations. Amar Karapuš, a curator at the Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo, said When I first read about the pyramids I thought it was a very funny joke. I just couldnt believe that anyone in the world could believe this.[2] Garrett Fagan of Penn State University is quoted as saying They should not be allowed to destroy genuine sites in the pursuit of these delusions[...] It’s as if someone were given permission to bulldoze Stonehenge to find secret chambers of lost ancient wisdom underneath.[14] Enver Imamović of the University of Sarajevo, a former director of the National Museum of Sarajevo, concerned that the excavations will damage historic sites such as the medieval royal capital Visoki, said that the excavations would irreversibly destroy a national treasure.[15] Excavations by archaeologists not related to the Foundation in the summer of 2008 uncovered medieval artefacts and led to renewed calls for the government to cancel Osmanagićs digging permits.[16] One of his former employees, Nadija Nukic, told a Bosnian newspaper that carvings on stones that Osmanagić characterizes as dating from ancient times were not present when the stones were first uncovered but were later inscribed by his team, an accusation that Osmanagić denies.[2] Despite being completely disowned by the scientific community, Semir Osmanagić was still pursuing his project in 2011. His excavations were still funded by local authorities, and the pyramids were visited by school children and passed off to them as being part of their Bosnian heritage.[17] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmanagi%C4%87_pyramid_hypothesis ... yep. Send money, post more of this bullshit.... Support the Maya/Egyptians-build-pyramids-everywhere-fiction though they cant build a boat capable to withstand open seas or Atlntic. Bravo .... Your Kids will love to clean up your fb, when they are ashamed enough to be harrased by their school mates ....
