Medjugore and Mostar

The discovery of the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids changes the understanding of European and world history forever. The first pyramids in Europe and the largest pyramids in the world have been discovered in Visoko. This also goes for the oldest concrete in the world and the largest network of underground tunnels and chambers. During the lecture the focus will be on the new research details concerning concrete blocks of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun, the analysis of the paved terraces of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon, the confirmation of an artificial origin of the tumulus in Vratnica, the age of underground tunnels beneath the pyramids and strange electromagnetic phenomenon observed on the top of the pyramids.
Take part in a unique “Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids” Conference co-hosted by renowned researcher, Dr. Semir “SAM” Osmanagich, featuring a special pre-conference program hosted by Marta Thomas highlighting a visit to Medjugorje and its “weeping Madonna.”

Day 2 – Friday, September 2 – Arrive Sarajevo and onto Medjugorje (D)
Be sure to arrive no later than 1:30 p.m. and meet Marta at the airport as we depart for the 2-1/2 hour drive to the village of Medjugorje. On June 25, 1981, Our Lady appeared to six children. She identified herself as the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace, and continues to appear to several of the visionaries. Her mission is to promote peace with God and mankind, through her Son, Jesus. Mary’s own words to the children explained, “I have come to tell the world that God exists.” In the late afternoon, meet with fellow Pilgrims for a prayer and Rosary devotion at St. James Church. Evening welcome dinner.
Today, experience the beauty and peace of this simple village. During our stay in Medjugorje we will have the opportunity to share faith with pilgrims from all over the world. Start the day as we assemble at St. James Church for the English-language Mass. Then follow the path up Apparition Hill where the visionaries first encountered Our Lady. Touch and pray before the cross that commemorates the spot where Mary first appeared to the visionaries. You will have the opportunity to climb Krizevac Mountain, where in 1933 the villagers built a 30′ high cross on the anniversary of Jesus’ crucifixion. Visit and pray at “Blue Cross”, which is a place of great healings and graces- a very special place at the base of Apparition Hill. The balance of the day is free for independent exploration before our evening dinner.
Day 4 – Sunday, September 4 - To Mostar (B/D)
Depart for Mostar. Mostar is the regional capital of the Herzegovina region of this alluring country situated in the heart of the Western Balkans. It is hard to sum up the uniqueness of this multi-faceted city – East and West meet on its gleaming, turquoise river in a blend of oriental architecture, Mediterranean air and Balkan beauty. Of course, the main attraction is its world-famous bridge, although visitors soon find themselves immersed in other sights around its Ottoman Old Town that we will visit such as the Old Bazaar, the Turkish House and one of the many fascinating mosques which have stood in this city for hundreds of years. Evening dinner at our hotel
