Experts Find Evidence of Giant Pyramid in Bosnia

Ever dream of seeing the great pyramids?  You know, traveling to Central America?  Or Egypt?  Or ...

...Bosnia?

From MSNBC.com:  Experts in Bosnia have discovered solid evidence that what appeared to be an odd-shaped hill in the small village of Visoko in Bosnia, is actually a giant pyramid, a third larger than the Great Pyramid of Giza.  If correct, this will be the first pyramid ever found in Europe.

Semir Osmanagic, a Bosnian archaeologist, said the discovery significantly bolsters his theory that the 2,120-foot hill is actually a step pyramid.  "We can see the surface is perfectly flat," he said.  "This is the crucial material proof that we are talking pyramids."  In addition, satellite photographs and thermal imaging revealed two other, smaller pyramid-shaped hills in the Visoko Valley.

Cool.
