Excavaciones en la ciudad de Visoco
Artículo en Terrae Antiqvae (27-10-2005)
Un investigador bosnio ha iniciado las labores de excavación para intentar demostrar que la ciudad de Visoko, a unos 30 kilómetros de Sarajevo, guarda el secreto de la primera pirámide europea construida por una civilización desaparecida.
"Tenemos once pruebas fiables de que la montaña Visocica es en realidad una colosal pirámide de piedra,
la primera de Europa, y de que, además, hay otras cuatro construcciones piramidales en el valle", asegura el investigador Semir Osmanagic.
Este investigador bosnio, que desde hace 15 años vive en Houston (EEUU) y se dedica a la investigación de antiguas civilizaciones, asegura que las fotografías tomadas desde satélites muestran una geometría regular de la citada montaña y de las cuatro elevaciones en el valle.
Según Osmanagic, "todas esas construcciones tienen
forma de triángulo, de los lados iguales, de carácter de escalera, con terrazas en la cima, y están regularmente orientadas hacia los cuatro puntos cardinales".
Explica que los análisis de las fotos tomadas por radares muestran la existencia de pasillos rectangulares dentro de la pirámide del sol. "El complejo de túneles subterráneos en el valle enlaza a todas las pirámides entre sí, como es el caso en Egipto, o en México", asegura Osmanagic.
No obstante, algunos arqueólogos
bosnios consideran que toda esa teoría carece totalmente de fundamento y que las ruinas de piedra son los restos de una fortaleza medieval.
Osmanagic ha escrito una decena de libros sobre sus trabajos. Además, es autor de una tesis doctoral sobre la civilización maya tras una detallada investigación que supuso la visita a unas 50 ciudades en Guatemala, México, Honduras y Salvador.

Un grupo de arqueólogos ha iniciado las excavaciones para tratar de hallar lo que creen que es una antigua pirámide oculta bajo una misteriosa colina de Bosnia y que ha sido objeto de la leyenda durante muchos años. El arqueólogo bosnio que lidera los trabajos ha señalado que la colina de unos 650 metros que se levanta sobre la aldea de Visoko,a unos 30 kilómetros al norte de
Sarajevo, guarda un extraño parecido con las zonas de Latinoamérica con pirámides que ha podido estudiar. De confirmarse, se trataría de la primera pirámide que se descubre en el continente europeo.
"Tenemos once pruebas fiables de que la montaña Visocica es en realidad una colosal pirámide de piedra, la primera de Europa, y de que, además, hay otras cuatro construcciones piramidales en el valle", ha explicado Osmanagic. El investigador asegura que las fotografías tomadas desde satélites muestran una geometría regular de la montaña Visocica y de las cuatro elevaciones en el valle.
"Todas esas construcciones tienen forma de triángulo, de los lados iguales, de carácter de escalera, con terrazas en la cima, y están regularmente orientadas hacia los cuatro puntos cardinales", ha dicho Osmanagic, al insistir en que en la naturaleza no hay formas tan geométricamente regulares. Explica que los análisis de las fotos tomadas por radares muestran la existencia de pasillos rectangulares dentro de la pirámide del sol. "El complejo de túneles subterráneos en el valle enlaza a todas las pirámides entre sí, como es el caso en Egipto, o en México", ha asegurado Osmanagic.

Además, ha escrito su tesis doctoral sobre la civilización Maya tras una detallada investigación que supuso la visita a unas 50 ciudades en Guatemala, México, Honduras y Salvador. Osmanagic ha establecido una fundación especial que se ocupará de las labores de excavación y según asegura, de la permanente protección del "valle de las pirámides bosnias como monumento arqueológico más importante de Europa".
Piramidemanía
En la ciudad bosnia reina una auténtica fiebre investigadora por la esperanza de que un descubrimiento arqueológico sensacional podría traer provechos incalculables a la zona. Varios restaurantes ya se han puesto el nombre de Pirámide del sol, y en ellos los visitantes pueden encontrar platos en forma triangular, como se supone son los pirámides de Visoko. Incluso las pizzas en pizzerías locales son triangulares. En las numerosas plazas de la ciudad se ofrecen recuerdos de cerámica, zapatillas, camisetas y pequeñas banderas con supuesta imagen de la pirámide local. Ha aumentado bastante últimamente el precio del terreno en las proximidades de la montaña Visocica, y algunos de los propietarios de la tierra en esas zonas ya han empezado a cobrar el "peaje" a los curiosos visitantes que quieren ver de cerca el lugar
que un día puede llegar a ser famoso.
El director del museo local, Senad Hodovic, que apoyó de inmediato la hipótesis de Osmanagic, ha señalado que la existencia de las pirámides es "la oportunidad del siglo" para desarrollar la pequeña ciudad. No obstante, algunos arqueólogos bosnios consideran que toda esa teoría carece totalmente de fundamento y que las ruinas de piedra en Visocica son los restos de una fortaleza medieval.
"Hay gente que cree que Dios no existe,
y por qué entonces no habría los que creen que en Visoko no hay pirámides", comenta Hodovic esas opiniones. Los miembros de la mencionada fundación se niegan de momento a comentar quién y cuándo pudo haber construido las pirámides en Visoko, en pleno centro de Bosnia. "Esperamos que cuando entremos en el interior de la pirámide, cuando encontremos materias orgánicas, huesos humanos restos de los constructores de las pirámides, podremos dar respuestas a esas preguntas", dice Osmanagic. "Una vez que los científicos de altas esferas acepten el hecho de que existe el valle bosnio de pirámides, nosotros contestaremos quién, cuándo, cómo y por qué las construyó", concluye el investigador.

(3) Experts Find Evidence of Bosnia Pyramid
VISOKO, Bosnia-Herzegovina - Researchers on Wednesday unearthed geometrically cut stone slabs that they said could form part of the sloping surface of what they believe is an ancient pyramid lying beneath
a huge hill.
Archaeologists and other experts began digging at this central Bosnian town last week to explore the team leader's theory that the 2,120-foot hill covers a step pyramid, which would be the first ever found in Europe.
"These are the first uncovered walls of the pyramid," Semir Osmanagic, a Bosnian archaeologist who studied the pyramids of Latin America for 15 years, said of the stonework found Wednesday.
"We can see the surface is perfectly flat. This is the crucial material proof that we are talking pyramids," he
said.
Osmanagic believes the structure will prove to be 722 feet high, or a third taller than Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza.
The huge stone blocks discovered Wednesday appeared to be cut in cubes and polished.
"It is so obvious that the top of the blocks, the surface is man-made," Osmanagic said.
Earlier research on the hill, known as Visocica, found that it has 45-degree
slopes pointing toward the cardinal points and a flat top. Under layers of dirt, workers discovered a paved entrance plateau, entrances to tunnels and large stone blocks.
Satellite photographs and thermal imaging revealed two other, smaller pyramid-shaped hills in the Visoko Valley.
Last week's excavations began with a team of rescue workers from a nearby coal mine being sent into a tunnel believed to be part of an underground network connecting the three pyramid-shaped hills.
They were followed by archeologists, geologists and other experts who emerged from the tunnel later to declare that it was certainly man-made.
The work at Visoko, about 20 miles northwest of Sarajevo, will continue for about six months. Two experts from Egypt are due to join the team in mid-May.
"It will be a very exciting archaeological spring and summer," Osmanagic said.

The team made it as far as 263 meters (yards) after which the tunnel collapsed. The experts say they believe it is a man-made structure that is part of an
underground tunnel network. The excavations will last for 200 days and should offer proof or completely dismiss the theory that the 2,120-foot hump outside Visoko, a town about 20 miles northwest of the capital, Sarajevo, is hiding a man-made pyramid.(AP Photo/Hidajet Delic)
