The most beautiful European park has become richer for another novelty. Namely, during August and September 2024, the existing wooden benches on the western stands of both tennis courts were replaced by plastic chairs with backrests.

The wooden easels lasted three seasons (2022-2024). However, exposure to different weather conditions (sunny and cold weather, rain, wind, sun) led to cracking of the benches. Given that the Foundation 'Archaeological Park: Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun' and its company 'Bosnian Pyramids, Inc.' insist on respecting the highest standards in the park and at all archaeological sites, it was logical to find a better solution.

The plastic chairs were purchased in the region and installed during September. Previously, the old paint was removed from the stands and they were coated with new green paint. Blue chairs were placed on the western stand of the main stadium. Their total number is 650, which with the southern tribune and 200 chairs and the eastern tribune with benches for 1,000 visitors gives almost 2,000 seats for spectators.

350 red chairs were placed on the clay court. Along with the south stand with 100 chairs and the east stand with 150 seats and the clay court, there are about 600 seats.

Future tennis tournaments, individual matches and preparations of top tennis players will be able to be watched from much more comfortable chairs with backrests.

The investor and executor of the work is the Foundation with its company.

On Saturday, September 21, 2024, starting at 6:00 p.m., another exceptional event will take place in the cinema of the ‘Archaeological-Tourist-Sports Park Ravne 2’ in Visoko. There will be a world premiere of a documentary called 'Searching for Paradise on Earth - Kingdom of Bahrain'.

The author of the film is Dr. Sam Osmanagich, who shot the film during his visit to Bahrain in 2024. The documentary tells about his search for ancient stories about the god Enki who lived for a thousand years in a happy land with lots of water sources and avenues of palm trees, beasts that didn't attack other animals and people who were immortal. In his search, Osmanagić visits Bahrain, shows moments from its current and past life. Did he find evidence for the location where Enki lived? The answer is at the end of the film.

The film has so far won at two festivals: Anatolian Film Awards (Turkey) and the film festival 'Solar Screens' (Ciudad de Mexico), and has been shortlisted at four festivals (Veneto International Film Festival, Bayelsa International Film Festival, International Festival Mam and Zin, Touchstone Independent Film Festival) so further successes can be expected.

The film was edited by Nusret Smajović, with the assistance of Adnan Pašić. The film is in English. The world premiere will be held in February 2025 in the capital of Bahrain, Manama.

Entrance and parking are free.
