It is becoming more convincing. Just keep us updated in it, Ciko. I'm still not convinced that it's as grandiose as Oz is saying, but I think there's something there. I like the pyramid of the Easter bunny. If I ever discover one I'm gonna name it that. :lol:

Actually I skipped English 101 because of my test scores in English, and besides, that was almost 30 years ago. I actually never heard of the guy until Bob's quote. I don't know anything about the Baltimore Sun either. I didn't put the two together. He knows what?

what I find really strange about this story is; I read through some diffrent forums about this topic and in every one of them, there seems to be at least one guy that claims to be from the area where the pyramid is. And everytime it is this person that posts pics and describs everything as if it was confirmed.

If you visit the official site of the pyramid project "http://www.piramidasunca.ba/" go to Committees and have a look at the names of the people that are active in the project. Even if they claim to be working in a diffrent country they have astounishing (spelling? :? ) similarities. they all sound like they could come from that region of the world.

This are just 2 things I noticed, taking a more critical look at everything. I am still in good hope that they find something buuuut I got very careful.
I won't believe anything more before I get some more evidence ..

Frank, I am shocked. I would have thought for sure that you would have known this one!

Mencken wrote that in 1920 for the Baltimore Sun.


Here's a good start.

1920 huh? So he's from your generation, Bob? :wink: That's why I never heard of him. He's right about the president. I guess we've acheived nirvana by his definition.

Mencken was one of the US's great men of letters.
In addition to newspaper columns he
wrote a three- volume study of American English, of which
I boast to have read the first.

Yet pyramids are not unknown in the Balkans -- there are at least 16 in Greece alone.

While the Greek pyramids are little known, they are fascinating structures made of limestone and are older than the famous pyramids of Egypt.

The planet's oldest-known pyramid is Hellinikon in Greece, which wasbuilt around 2,720 B.C.E. -- nearly 5,000 years ago.
