In 2011 when I went to the Glastonbury Symposium, I was blown away by learning about the work of Sam Semir Osmanagic, the visionary amateur archeologist who is attempting to excavate what he believes is a pyramid complex in Bosnia. I admire Dr. Osmanagic's dedication and vision, and have been rather disgusted by the way, as so often happens, he has been pooh-poohed and called a fraud, although in all fairness, there are many who support him, including the President of Malaysia who visited the site. I love Wikipedia, but their dismissal of his work is very disappointing and I think reflects a prejudice. The fact is, if he's right, this is the highest pyramid in the world, and the complex is 10,000 + years old. Such a discovery would re-write what we think we know about the ancient world, and what we know about ancient Europe.
"Results released by the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy of chemical and diffractometry laboratory analysis done on sandstone and conglomerate blocks taken from the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun show that the samples are an inert material with a binding, similar to that found in ancient Roman concrete. These results were confirmed by analysis on the samples done at the University of Zenica,Bosnia-Herzegovina.

In a separate independent test, Professor Joseph Davidovits, member of the International Association of Egyptologists and author confirms this claim. “I performed electron microscopic analysis of the sample and I propose the geopolymer chemistry that was used to make this is ancient concrete,” http://www.davidovits.info/34/the-pyramids-in-bosnia-europe-perhaps-in-roman-concrete
He further adds that the sample is composed of “a calcium/potassium-based geopolymer cement and that although he cannot date the sample, he can discern that it is not modern concrete, but more like the technique used by the Egyptians 3500 years ago.” In his book "The Pyramids: an Enigma Solved" ,Davidovits proposes that Egyptian pyramids were constructed using agglomerated stone (limestone cast like concrete)."

Christopher Dunn, author of The Giza Power Plant (1996) writes that the pyramids were "ancient energy machines" or power sources that channelled geo-magnetic energy, which is currently a popular theory among researchers. The pyramids of Bosnia have the same elements that define the structure of an ancient "power generator system."
What do we really know? What knowledge might we have lost? Fascinating to speculate. Atlantis rising..........
***A great Blog that follows the Bosnian Pyramids excavation, as well as discussion on related themes is Old Europe (http://bpblognews.blogspot.com/). Here I've copied from an article:
"In ancient times architecture was considered not only a creation of form
to limit or define space, but also inherently a sacred form that
concentrated beneficial earth and cosmic energies and dispersed harmful
earth and cosmic energies. The subtle energies of earth and cosmos were taken very seriously in the
spiritually advanced societies of the past. The ancients were conscious
that certain architectural features transformed invisible energetic
fields that exercise subtle but predictable influences on the human body
and on the environment.
In spite of our scientific progress in the modern day, we still know
very little, in comparison to the ancients, about the relation of forms
both natural and artificial to subtle and invisible but potent energies
from earth and sky. Since 2006, researchers from many different disciplines have visited the
Bosnian Pyramid Valley. These researchers have made pioneering
discoveries that have allowed us to dramatically expand our modern
understanding of the nature and purpose of the Bosnian pyramids and
pyramid structures across the planet. A two-year study performed by biologist Dr. Sulejman Redžić
from the Faculty for Natural Sciences at the University of Sarajevo,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, has shown that the soil temperature on the Bosnian
pyramids and nearby areas is 5 degrees Celsius warmer than elsewhere in
Bosnia.
Astonishingly, Dr. Redžić was able to identify several plant species on
the pyramids that are typical of warmer Mediterranean climate zones.
This means that these ancient pyramid structures create an artificial microclimate in the Visoko Valley. U.K. scientist Dr. Harry Oldfield
developed a photographic method similar to Kirlian photography that
captures the "shapes" of electromagnetic energy in a two-dimensional
photograph.

Dr. Oldfield's photos of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun showed that the
electromagnetic fields above the pyramids are oriented toward the
vertical rather than the horizontal. This is unusual because the
electromagnetic patterns above natural features such as hills and
mountains are normally vertically oriented. Vertically oriented
electromagnetic fields are characteristic of artificial (manmade)
structures. In addition, Dr. Oldfield recorded more activity than
expected, with strong electromagnetic fields above the Bosnian Pyramid
of The Sun.
Corroborating Dr. Oldfield's findings, Dr. Slobodan Mizdrak,
a physicist from Zagreb, Croatia, led a team of experts who measured
both electromagnetic radiation in the Bosnian pyramid complex in 2010
and 2012. The team also measured an unusual 28 kHz ultrasound phenomenon
exiting the top of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun. A two-day experiment
in April 2012 demonstrated that the source of the ultrasound "energy
beam" is beneath the pyramid at a depth of 2440 metres (1.86 miles).
Analysis of collected data has shown that a metallic plate located deep
under the pyramid in combination with underground water flows and
unexpectedly high concentrations of negative ions generates electric
power of more than 10 kilowatts.

The presence of high concentrations of negative ions has also been
detected also in other locations of the valley, namely inside Ravne
tunnel labyrinth. Different measurements performed during the past six
years have shown a tremendous increase in negative ions inside the
tunnel system, reaching levels of up to 40,000 ions per cubic centimeter
200 meters inside the tunnel system. Negative ions are atoms or
molecules that have more electrons than protons in their nuclei. Series
of analyses in the last 120 years have proven that negative ions clean
the air of dust, spores, mold and pollen and provide numerous health
benefits to human beings. Thousands of people who have visited the
underground tunnel labyrinth during the past six years have been able to
experience the healing power of this negative ion-rich location.
Janez Pelko,
a Slovenia researcher who studied the effects on the human aura of a
short stay in Ravne tunnel labyrinth, demonstrated that the human aura
increases and reconstitutes itself significantly in almost 80% of cases
among people after a one-hour stay inside the tunnel labyrinth. Janez
Pelko's research is mainly inspired by the work of Prof. Konstantin G. Korotkov,
a renown Russian scientist who invented the Gas Discharge Visualization
technique (GDV), which represents a breakthrough beyond Kirlian
photography, allowing direct, real-time viewing of human energy fields.
Thus we come to the conclusion that ancient cultures had developed an
understanding of the subtle effects of various invisible life energies
and created structures to both generate and magnify them."
