Well, he and Visoko Museum have right to invite anyone they wants. So far there are scientists from Egypt and Greece, soon to be expected more from Serbia Croatia and Slovenia and some other european countries. So again, what makes you think that any scientist can come here, just because it's his wish? Why they should be welcomed here, especially if they sneak around like Mr. Harding? You think the world is your playground and that you can do whatever you want? Well, you can't. At least not in Bosnia.
I was born and raised in Bosnia. No further comments necessary.

Sasha, I do not criticize the project. I only expose facts. For example:
Fact No. 1: Bosnia is a free country.
Fact No. 2: Mr. Harding is a recognized expert.
Fact No. 3: Mr. Harding is a free man.
Fact No. 4: There is freedom of speech in Bosnia.
Therefore, Mr. Harding may come to Bosnia whenever he wants and he may say whatever he wants, because, as an expert, he is entitled to give us his opinions. There will always be Bosnians who appreciate his opinion. If somebody does not like what Mr. Harding said, that’s too bad. Let them proove that Harding was wrong.
We are looking forward to seeing Osmanagich's presentation on Friday, June 23.

Yes, Fortuneteller, Mr.Harding is recognized expert. Nobody's denying it. I'm not denying that he's a free man too, as you say, or that he's entitled to give you or us his opinions.
What I clearly said in previous posts, is that he, as recognized expert, and furthermore as president of European Archeologists Association, in my opinion, failed to use regular assesment tools. That's why I can't consider hiss assesment trustworthy. If some of the archeologists want or have to believe Mr.Harding's words and experience, I don't (hey, I'm a free man too

), and after all this soup opera about him, I still thinks that he didn't do proper archeological assesment of the site. Soon, I think, UNESCO expert team will arive, and let's see which assessment tools they will use (about which RK kindly and proffessionally informed us (I'm talking about people who are not scientists or experts like me) here on this site. And I'm really hoping that they are going to use those tools.
Let them proove that Harding was wrong.
I'm affraid that Mr.Harding allready proved himself wrong, because he said that he believed that pavent is natural. According to his own words, he didn't see pavement live, but just on photographs. If anything there is man-made, that is a pavement. Another reason for me to be sceptical about his assessment. But he wouldn't make that mistake if he used some of the archeological assessment tools, and that's what is all about: it is not the problem that I don't like what he has said; more immportant question for me is : based on what he said that? We heard here: based on his experience. But in science sometimes that is simply not enough.
