About the "discoverer" of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun

Semir Osmanagic, who holds a Ph.D in Sociology in History, was the person that started the psedudoarchaeological project known today as the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun which is located in Visoko, Bosnia. According to his website, he received a bachelor degree in political science and another in economics; he also has a masters degree in international economics. Earlier in his life, he worked for United Metal Industry of Sarajevo as fellow in strategic planning. He then moved to Houston, Texas and was a general manager for Houston Protectors, Inc. which is a manufacturing company. His big "archaeological" career started when he "discovered" the lost pyramids of Bosnia, which are all located in Visoko. He spends a lot of time and energy trying to prove that the Bosnian Pyramids (which are hills in the shape of pyramids) are artificial. Since the "discovery" of the Bosnian Pyramids in 2005, he had appear on many media outlets to promote the Bosnian Pyramids [1].

The Bosnian Pyramids

Along side the Pyramid of the Sun, Osmanagic believed that there are four others next to it: The Pyramid of the Moon, Dragon Pyramid, Love Pyramid, and The Temple of the Mother Earth. The most important thing to note about all of these "pyramids" is that they are hills that are supposedly in the shape of pyramids. More specially, the Pyramid of the Sun has taken up much more attention is due to the fact that it is the closest hill to look like a pyramid and that it aligned closely to the Northern Star. Instead of it believing that the hills were formed in this shape out of pure luck, Osmanagic believes that the pyramids in Kisoko are all artificial [2].
