The Great Bosnian Pyramid

Visoko pyramid

I took this picture from the plane just after taking off from Sarajevo. Coincidentally, I somehow captured the great Bosnian pyramid. Pyramid? In Bosnia? If "What the hell?" was your reaction, then you are no different than most Bosnians, who reacted the same when it was recently reported that what was once assumed to be just another hill near the town of Visoko was in fact an ancient pyramid, situated only 30km outside Sarajevo. If you answered, "I knew it! The aliens are coming!" then it's time to drink the kool aid.

Some say that it may be the oldest pyramid in the world. This would make Bosnia home to the first-ever pyramid, first-ever Bruce Lee statue, and first-ever use of the word "ethnic cleansing." If you ask me, this is an unbeatable 1-2-3 tourism punch.

Some more info on the pyramid here and here.
