1. First of all, thank you for agreeing to be interviewed. You are the discoverer of the Bosnian pyramids in Visoko in Bosnia and Herzegovina and you established the non-profit and non-governmental ‘’Archaeological Park: Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun ” Foundation. You are a professor at the American University in Bosnia and Herzegovina. You are also a member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. You also hold a PhD in the Mayan civilization, which you got from the University in Sarajevo. Not only that, but you are the first honoree of the Amelia B. Edwards Award for “outstanding research and advancement of knowledge of pyramids around the world”. How did you discover the pyramids in Visoko and how did this journey begin?
In April 2005 I first traveled to the town of Visoko, 20 miles northwest from Sarajevo,capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina. My attention was caught by two regularly shaped hills, which I later named the Bosnian Pyramids of the Sun and Moon. For thousands of years locals have considered those hills to be natural phenomenon because they were covered by one meter of soil and vegetation. However, when I first saw their triangular faces, obvious corners and orientation toward the cardinal points (East-West, North-South), I knew that they had to be constructed by an intelligent hands. Since I had been investigating pyramids for decades I knew that the pyramids found in China, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras or El Salvador presented the same case of pyramids covered by dirt and vegetation. In 2005 work begun on this project and I paid construction companies and geologists to do the core drilling and geo-morphological analysis. I then announced to the world, at the press conference in Sarajevo in October 2005, that the first pyramids in Europe had been discovered. Shortly thereafter I established the non-profit “Archaeological Park: Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun” Foundation and since that time the pyramid investigations in Bosnia have become the world’s largest inter-disciplinary scientific project in area of archaeology.
