i find it very hard to believe that an 'expert' would confirm that there is a pyramid there with such scant evidence.
You believe the bible with NO evidence, arch.
Be a little more consistent.

Aren't you being a little harsh with ciko?
No, considering he set himself up as an authority on this site from his very first post.
If you keep attacking ciko, he might stop giving us the latest info
But that's just it; he
isn't. All he's doing is quoting Osmanagich's latest soundbite direct from his OWN site.
And just because you can't find someone's name in English is no reason
to discount the expertise of the person.
Ok-YOU post a link to some of that "expert's" published work, since I haven't been able to find any.

Geologist: Bosnian Hill an Ancient Pyramid
Email this Story
May 17, 9:16 PM (ET)
VISOKO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) - An Egyptian geologist who arrived to check on claims by an amateur researcher that a hill in central Bosnia is hiding an ancient pyramid said Wednesday the structure is man made and worth investigating.
"My opinion is that this is a type of pyramid, probably a primitive pyramid," said Dr. Aly Abd Alla Barakata, a geologist from the Egyptian Mineral Resource Authority.

is an asshole , i dont care hat he says
And finally your true colours come shining through, eh?
1)Barakat is a geologist, not an archaeologist.
2) He said "In my
opinion, the structure
appears to be man-made".
3) He then said that detailed further study was needed.
4) At no point does he reveal how long he spent studying the hill himself, or what methods he applied. So his "opinion" is worthless until PROVEN otherwise. Take that any way you want to, Ciko.

I don't know, RK....I have to give this round to Oz.
The evidence is starting to accrue.

Bob-What evidence? All we've seen so far are some well dodgy pictures, and "expert" testimony from an Egyptian government jobsworth. If the Egyptians really believed this cock and bull story, would they have sent a non-entity to represent them?

You sound as if you are getting desperate, RK.
I stated a while ago that I was willing to wait for the Egyptian experts to comment and now that they have I am not going to start casting aspersions.
BTW, I tried to look up that Arabic name on google and promptly got rewarded with any number of alternate spellings. It is not as easy as it looks.

Hardly, since I don't have anything to prove.
I can't understand why this has taken up 28 pages and 400+ posts so far.

Because it is a fascinating possibility, that's why.

More like gullible people wanting it to be true-like Hitler's Diaries.

That is what I mean by "desperate."
At some point the edge has to go to those who are actually there looking at the damned thing.

Fine. I'm really sorry that as a professional archaeologist, I prefer evidence to wishful thinking and second-hand news.
I'll try to watch that in future.

The man is there, speaking to reporters directly without Oz intervening, which was your complaint earlier and published by the AP.
At some point you get hoisted by your own petard. He may yet be disproven but he has a big advantage over you....he is there.
