Cool. If this guy is correct this pyramid predates Imhotep by six or seven thousand years.

Indeed. The dating is a little hard to swallow, at this point. Still an amazing find, though.

Rewritings of history are inevitable. Even our real Sphinx has it's own riddles, least of all point to an earlier time than most people are willing to accept.

There's a very likely possibility that "pre-history" was far more developed than people will ever know. Think of it, thousands of stories, millions of people. Lost to their children.

No need to rewrite it. The so-called "first dark age" lost a bunch of history, historians already know that. Really early human history is fascinating and it's well known it dates way back. The actual *events* of early human history are still up in the air -- not enough data -- but the fact that there were fairly advanced civilizations whose histories are totally lost and/or untranslated (other than Linear B) is very accepted.

Well, not so much untranslated as undeciphered. Indus Valley, Linear A etc..

When I was a kid my parents gave me a replica of the the Phaistos Disk... fun hours of my childhood trying to decipher it. Then they're surprised I turned out a geek.

The quick finger censorship and repost nazis.
More important to slap repost on something 5 minutes
after posting, rather than give anyone a break. Helping
Bush put Iraqis in the gas ovens, emptying the treasury, starting several more wars, cause killing, censorship is cool. Cuz giving rim jobs to the president, you get used to the smell of shit, and must insure noone insults shit-daddy! Daddy kills, tortures, maimes for jesus/usa/psycho.

This whole thing smells like Van Daniken spirit to me:

"Semir Osmanagich presents his book "The World of the Maya" as a galactic telescope by means of which cosmic harmony may be achieved. Having visited dozens of Mayan cities in Central America, the author arrives at the conclusions that it is in our future that "we should become planetary Maya with sophisticated technology which will harmoniously connect the frequencies of the Sun and our psyches. Because the Mayan life is that of the soul living in harmony with the Cosmic processes."

http://www.alternativnahistorija.com/

"Semir Osmanagic, a Bosnian refugee who spoke fluent English, had a master's degree in international economics and had run his own trading companies in Bosnia....."

http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/stories/1999/06/21/focus3.html

Nice picture of Mr. Osmanagic here, tho:

Well, you know how it is - not before complete studies of that site can anyone be 100% what's under the ground.
It could be really interesting if there were a pyramide down there (or up there?). In the neolithic era, large masses of people from the Near East came through Greece, proceeding to West. They could have been the same people who built the ziggurats of the Babylonian Empire.
A ziggurat in the Balcans? Could be. Time will show.
Volcaos said @ 8:27am GMT on 28th Oct
The dating is most definately bullshit. I'm sure that its a Chariots of the Gods, Fingertips of the Gods, Graham Hancock, Van Daniken.

I'd be very happy if he proved me wrong, but until I see some evidence that that isn't just a hill, I'll go on my merry way thinking he's a crazy fucker.

"there is evidence for chambers...."

BULLSHIT! that is very complicated to do. In Egypt and in Mexico,
pyramids have to be studied with muon detectors and even
there evidence for chambers and passages is not conclusive.

Sure, the hill looks pyramidal, but I want to see someone giving him
money to excavate that.
