Über diesen Titel
What happens when a country emerging from war is offered a story that says it was always the center of civilization? In this deep dive, we examine the Bosnian pyramid hoax -- a pseudoarchaeological project launched in 2005 by Semir Osmanagić, a Houston-based contractor who claimed the hills near Visoko were man-made pyramids older than Egypt's. We walk through the geology (natural flatiron formations confirmed by every expert who examined them), the mechanics of the fraud (false expert endorsements, tunnels that appear to have been dug by the excavators themselves), and the real cost: government money diverted from a war-damaged National Museum, genuine archaeological sites being destroyed, and a country's extraordinary medieval heritage overshadowed by fiction. Featuring the verdicts of geologists, archaeologists, and historians who fought this hoax from day one.
