Ciko,
You seem increasingly desperate to be taken seriously. And so do Osmanagich and Co.

You seem increasingly arrogant

The vertical weathering patterns on the Sphinx and its enclosure, Schoch argued, were not caused by wind effect, as had previously been thought, but by water - water from torrential rains and pouring down in sheets over these ancient structures. But how could this be? Was Schoch saying that such heavy rains only fell on the Sphinx area but nowhere else at Giza?

i did find this interesting and would explore it if this was some real scholarly website.

Dr. Schoch at BU

Whether or not this will meet your lofty scholarly standards, I do not know. Interesting stuff either way.

So why don't you post some real, independent evidence-not just pictures taken from Osmanagich's own website? I've also asked you several times whether you have actually been there yourself, and have yet to get an answer.
I find it suspicious that the only people expressing vocal support for this 'dig' are ordinary Bosnians like yourself-where's Osmanagich or some of his "experts"? Too many people over there seem to be taking international scepticism as a personal attack on their national pride; it isn't natural.

In the synopsis for Voyages of the Pyramid Builders, Schoch asserts that there are "pyramids in England and Ireland". Where, exactly?

Schoch deserves his own thread. Why don't you create one because I find him to be a fascinating guy.

In my opinion, Schoch's web page did nothing to enhance his credibility. Some pretty far-fetched theories I saw and most of them weren't geological in nature. He has someone else write his books for him, too.

What does it say about the truth of this "pyramid" when I find myself agreeing 100% with Arch? You know, normally we don't see eye to eye, but on this...

It's totally amazing! I agree with arch on this too! I hate to do it, but when he's right he's right. Rare indeed! Gotta give you a hard time, Arch. You'd think I didn't love you any more if I was too easy on you.

I think I'm going to puke.

Too much love in the air.

I'll see you guys later.

i was just giving minimalist a hard time with that statement, i will explore your link though.

what can i say? this posting of non-attack mode responses have overwhelmed me. i want to thank the academy for bestowing upon me this prestigious honor...'you like me, you really do' .... oops, sorry got to get a new researcher, that quote was from sally fields at the oscars.

well it was nice of you to agree with me and given ciko's latest posts i am less convinced than before. i would like to see RK let loose and tear him and this 'dig' a new one because as i look at the pictures, i see no stone blocks, i see no overlay, i see no pyramid formation and these long shots of scenery do not ad any evidence to his cause.

even the close ups are done in a manner in which raises suspicion in me. the explanations seem like justifications, and the pictures are only showing what they want people to see, not what is really there.

i think the whole thing is a scam at this time but as i said before, whether there is a pyramid thereor not, it does not affect my position at all whenit comes to the Bible. the existence of the pyramid would do more to support it than hurt the Bible. so i can be as objective as i like in this matter and i think this whole 'dig' just stinks.

would do more to support it than hurt the Bible

Why? Has Bosnia become part of the Holy Land?

One is afraid that one is too much of a lady!

He,he,he...First this is not only archeological project.Person is in charge there because he is bank for the project.He employs wide range of specialist in the field among them Archeologists Geologist,Machinery Petrologist,Paleontologist etc.Project of course have to be started with other specialists and latter in the project are comeing archeologists.For this exavation up until now when it is in need archeologist she is there 24 hour.So if somebody think that one shall give money and another will call the shots then you are in black-that kind think never hapend in last 100 years.Person Emir like to prove his theory and he is giveing money and he is employing specialist on the side.The problem is that state institutions havent money for this kind of research,but they want to keep monopol on every exavation.That is the reasoning behind all that crap.
Quest for pyramid is something secundary.
It is like search for Alexander sarcofag...where no state institution will give finances...specialy like Bosnian for some mad project,from wich by the way at least Bosnian archeologist can benefit.If I have been on the place of Institutional archeologist I will decide to Join these exavations
and that way to protect that wich I will think is in danger.
But the reason behind is that they want to segragate themself from the "lunatic" theories for the presence of pyramid.If they have joined exavations they think that they can loose credibility in international archeological community.

that is too bad, i was hoping we could get some better information if you set them straight.
