World's Largest Pyramid Discovered in Bosnia?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday May 1, 2006 @03:45AM from the thats-where-the-aliens-really-landed dept.

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."

There are those who claim the Earth is still full of oil and that we're not running out at all and we'll only continue to discover more in new places for generations to come. I think finding a 772 foot pyramid 33% bigger than the Great Pyramid in Bosnia, in 2006 no less, lends credence to this argument.

  On the other hand, we don't discover pyramids very often. If we had any consumption of pyramids at all, we would conclude that new discoveries are not keeping up with demand. Therefore conservation is appropriate.

  Why? They're two unrelated phenomona, and there's a significantly greater amount of effort being put into finding oil than into new archaeological sites.

Finding other idiots on /. that agree with your opinion doesn't make it any less stupid.
