Wow Europe may have had a Pyramid.

Europe's first pyramid?

Bosnia's leading Muslim daily Dnevni Avaz writes excitedly about "a sensational discovery" of "the first European pyramid" in the central town of Visoko, just north of Sarajevo.

Excavations at a hill site above the town have been going on for several months and initial analyses "have confirmed the original claim that this is Europe's first pyramid and a monumental building, similar in dimensions to the Egyptian pyramids."

I built it. Underneath the pyramid is an entrance to a tunnel complex housing a collony of Reptillian Saucer People.

Myrth built it 2000 years ago to hide The Amber Room from the Nazi's and Persians.

Well i suspect Organisation Todt built it fotr Himmler to hide the Nazi Gold when his Castle was captured.

Ratko Mladic has built a pyramid of human skulls roughly in the same region. Perhaps it's an earlier plan of his.

How long did it take to figure out it was a pyramid?

Archaeologist: Hey, nice pyramid you got there.
Farmer: Ahhh, so that's what it was. Couldn't tell with the flat sides and geometric proportions.
Archaeologist: Yea, took us a while to realise that's what the Egyptions had built. At first we thought they were shrines to Ted Turner.

First off, it's Goa'uld, not Gua'ld. Quit listening to what's-his-face that can't pronounce it correctly.

Secondly, it's probably just a hill, it looks like to me. Or if it is a pyramid, it was modeled after the Egyptian's. Built by ancient Serbs, no doubt.

Perhaps it was really a hill made to hold a Fortress on the top.

Am I right in thinking that the only tentative date anyone has attached to this construction yet is circa 600 AD? If so then it doesn't really stand up too well against Newgrange as an example of ancient engineering - it has almost 4,000 years on this structure.

I suspect the pyramids are the result of ancient egyptian stag parties where too much alcohol was consumed. On their way back from the pub they thought it'd be a laugh to quarry vast blocks of stone and then transport thousands of them for miles and miles before piling them up in a huge heap and leaving them there for someone else to clear up.

You heard it here first folks. :)

I reckon archeologists in Europe must be quite thick. At Sutton Bank in Yorkshire , England, they figured there was a little ancient earth works here, and then promptly build a glider club on the hill beside it. It took till the glider club wanted to extend plateau so they could be a bigger club. Then they discovered to be one of the oldest or largest forts(I can't remember which) in Northern Europe. I think it dates back to 500BC.
