Atlee High School and Lee-Davis School recently hosted a lecture by world-recognized archaeologist Dr. Semir Sam Osmanagich. Dr. Osmanagich, known as “Bosnia’s Indiana Jones,” provided a lecture on his discoveries of the first pyramids in Europe. Dr. Osmanagich’s visit to Virginia is sponsored by Carol Negus, President of Boundaries International. Dr. Osmanagich is currently promoting the most recent findings of his non-profit organization, “Archaeological Park: Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun,” and his new book, “Pyramids Around the World.” He shared detailed personal accounts of his findings since 2005 and the mysterious labyrinths beneath the pyramids, connecting them all through intricate passageways.
Dr. Sam Osmanagich has authored 10 books about ancient civilizations and narrated a 12-epizode documentary “Search for Lost Civilization” for the state Bosnian television FTVBiH (2007). This documentary was based on his book, Civilizations Before the Official History (2005), and filmed in Peru, Bolivia, Easter Island, Costa Rica, Mexico, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Malta, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon.
In 2005, Dr. Sam discovered the first pyramids in Europe near the town of Visoko, near Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina. In 2008, Dr. Osmanagich hosted an archaeological conference in Sarajevo which fueled controversy about his discovery dividing the archaeological community. Excavation on the vast complex has been ongoing and run by his non-profit “Archaeological park: Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun” Foundation since 2006 compiling more and more evidence to validate his claims. To date the excavation has yielded 5 pyramids of various sizes as well as a vast labyrinth of underground tunnels and a pyramid that is 30% larger than the largest structure on the Giza Plateau. Dr. Osmanagich is a principal investigator in this project which yielded some of the pioneering electromagnetic measurements in the pyramids.
He has become world renowned expert on pyramid by investigating these structures in China, Mauritius, Canary Islands, Egypt, Peru, El Salvador, Guatemala, Bolivia, Honduras, Mexico and other countries.
Osmanagich was admitted as a Foreign Member of the Russian Academy of NaturalSciences of Moscow, one of the most respected scientific institutions in the world. Osmanagich holds a PhD in Mayan studies. He is a member of the Archaeological Society of Alexandria and became first honorary citizen of the town of Visoko.
