World's Largest Pyramid Discovered in Bosnia?

kieran writes "Archaeologists have apparently begun to unearth a massive pyramid which had been masquerading as a hill in the Bosnian town of Visoko. At an estimated 722ft in height, it is expected to be 1/3 taller than Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza."

    We could not calculate driving directions between Redmond, WA and 43.978000N 18.178000E

          Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

    This is why Europe is, even today, a world leader in pyramids. You can outsource all the pyramid building you want to the israelites, but when you employ cheap slave labor, you get 1/3 less cubits.

    Given adequate funding, anyone could unearth a pyramid. They're everywhere, just covered with dirt and rocks. The biggest curiousity is how the rocks covering the pyramid bonded with the rocks that make up the pyramid. The bonds are so strong that unearthing the pyramid almost seems like you have to carve it out of the mountain. This phenomena can't currently be explained by archaeologists.

    While that archaeology web site makes some interesting arguments, they're completely ignoring the possibility that aliens constructed the pyramid. This theory, made popular by the film Alien Vs Predator, has not been discredited by serious researchers. They simply dismiss the theory without so much as communicating with the aliens to get their perspective. It's simply not fair that the crack pot viewpoint is completely disregarded by the so called legitimate research community. It's discrimination and it's wrong. =)

    What nobody seems to have realized is that, not only does the Bosnian pyramid sit directly over the center of the Earth, but if you draw a straight line between it and the Great Pyramid of Cheops (aka Kufu) in Egypt, then extend that line in the same direction, it will bisect the Earth into two exactly equal hemispheres. Obviously proof of either unsuspected high technology in ancient times, or the intervention of some space-faring alien civilization.
