SARAJEVO - An Egyptian geologist who has joined Bosnian researchers unearthing what are thought to be Europe 's first pyramids believes they bear similar hallmarks to the ancient structures in his homeland, an official said.

Aly Abd Alla Barakat, of the Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority, believes large stone blocks found near Sarajevo were man-made and polished in the same way as the pyramids of Giza , said the Bosnian Pyramid Foundation's Mario Gerussi.

Semir Osmanagic talks to BosnianPyramid.com

Does he believe there is now irrefutable evidence to prove the existence of the Valley of Pyramids in Bosnia Herzegovina? Of course, I've always believed  that the Valley of Pyramids exists.  Some people need more than one scientific evidence (in my case, perfect geometry and alignment with cardinal points); some people need 10 or 15 (satellite imagery, thermal analysis, penetrating radar analysis, topographic maps, geological evidence, fluvial geomorphology, linear anomalies etc.); some need additional geo-archaeological evidence – in this case, the stone blocks that have been used to build the pyramid walls or sandstone plates that have been used on the pyramid terraces and walls.

What has been the biggest 'find' to date at the site?

Of course, it was discovering that the stone blocks used to build the walls of the Pyramid of the Sun are in fact made of concrete, that they are of excellent quality, and that they were poured and made at the site by the original builders.

Tools and technology used by the original pyramid builders in Egypt (Giza) or Mexico (Teotihuacan) have never been found. Something similar is happening in Bosnia. but we're finding some other mysterious archaeological findings in bosnia such as the stone spheres and stone temples from prehistoric times.
