whacky stuff, but apparently a pyramid is being unearthed. It's estimated at 722 feet, which is bigger than the great pyramid of Giza.

I was hoping that we could get some of the thermal images, but never mind. I'll believe it once it's excavated.

I mean, id expect the Gyppos to have done it back in their day because their sheer wealth and lavish supply of slaves from Africa, but Bosnia? The only ancient great civ's i know of that were near there were the Macedonians and the Illyrians, but i doubt they had the resources and political conditions to build such a thing. I doubt any Roman leadership would have ever approoved such a high-cost, low-profit project too.

Yeah it is strange, but I would like more info. What methods have they used to try and detect if the pyramid is as big as it seems? Is it a pyramid or is it just a tomb that resembles one? Not a lot of info tbh

That story seems to pop up every now and then, but I haven't seen any convincing pictures yet.

It would totally rock if this were true...the fact that it's in Eastern Europe makes it even cooler. I could SO dig an ancient vampire pyramid culture thing, kinda like in From Dusk Til Dawn (which is an awesome movie). :P

Yeah, I'm bored. Can you tell? :(


@ Derf: I wouldn't be TOO sure of that...the Romans had some fairly whacked out emperors with delusions of grandeur. Caligula and his horse, anyone? :P


Quote:
Caligula doted on his horse Incitatus most of all. It had a retinue of eighteen servants. Its diet consisted of oats mixed with gold flake, as well as a variety of meats, including mice, squid, mussels, and chicken. Not to mention wine. According to Suetonius, the emperor saw to it that Incitatus lived in perfect luxury: "Besides a stall of marble, a manger of ivory, purple blankets and a collar of precious stones, he even gave this horse a house."



The Praetorian Guard even had to put that puppy out of his misery.

@ Ox, yeh but the effort is out of proportion.

Well one way to get funds to do an excavation when you've found something on a site is to blow things out of proportion of course. :)

Heh...maybe thos wacked out NGC programs talking about how the Egyptians were the long lost survivors of Atlantis or space aliens or whatever are right after all!

What's funny about the pyramid is that, judging by the pics they took before they started unearthing, it really wasn't THAT hard to miss. I mean, it's this tiny village and besides it towers this hill out of nothing in a triangular shape. :roll: Erosion usually don't work that way.

But then, if you live next to it your entire life you prolly don't really bother with it. And you certainly don't go digging 2 meters deep for fun.

But you have to think: somwhere down the line in the history of that village/area, they 'forgot' they had the pyramid. i mean, before it was overgrown and buried in sands. Then they just said 'fuck it' and just slowly forgot about it...weird huh? You'd think they'd pass on some story to their kids or even just call the hill "the ziggurat" or whatevah. :P

And from the way the pyramids are covered it doesn't look like they've been swallowed whole by sand storms and shit, like in Egypt.

well, you never know. It could be there was a village there that worshipped the zigurrat or whatever, even as it was slowly covered in dirt. Then one day in the middle of the middle ages some mongols swept through and killed the entire village.

A few years later some people moved in and of course had no inkling that those hills were all cool and stuff. :P Not that that's very likely, but anything is possible
