Bosnian Indy

Guess what y'all? There are pyramids in them hills. At least that is what Semir Osmanagic thinks - wanna know where? Bosnia. Apparently, the war torn country has more to offer than mass graves and genocide.

"What I know is that under that soil is the most magnificent construction project on the face of the planet. We have the greatest pyramids ever built right here in Bosnia. It is confirmed. All of the scientific evidence confirms this," he said.

Osmanagic, 45, thinks there are at least three ancient pyramids hidden in them hills of Visoko. He has named them Sun, Moon and Dragon. Professional archaeologists think Osmanagic is crazier than a shit-house rat, but he, of course, is undaunted.

"I'm not part of their establishment. So, all of a sudden, the biggest discovery in the history of archeology is made by an outsider. Jealousy is part of human nature, especially in a small country like Bosnia," he said with a shrug.

Anti-establishment wanna-be Indian Jones from Bosnia. I love it. So has he found anything? Well... in recent weeks, Osmanagic's diggers have uncovered what may or may not be evidence of human construction along the hill's flanks, not exactly proof of anything earth-shattering because the top of the hill contains the well-documented ruins of a 12th Century fortress and relics of the Illyrian Iron Age.

Last week the excitement grew when Ali Barakat, a member of the Egyptian National Geological Survey, visited the Visoko site at Osmanagic's invitation. Barakat said that a polished stone slab unearthed near the top of the hill was evidence of some kind of human construction.

Could it be a pyramid? "Yes, maybe it could be," Barakat said. That's all I need.

This kind of reminds me of those Choose Your Own Adventure Books? Who cares if all the professionals are ney sayers, I'm going down that dark alley. Of course, I always cheated and paged ahead when it came to decision making time - Do you want to end up dangling out a window with a 9-foot tall snake waiting or A-rabs with machine guns on camels co-chillin' on the street? And don't forget the aliens. Sorry charlie, but I wanted the treasure.

Anyway, since the warm summer air has at long-last arrived, let's rok some hot isht. Here's Har Mar Superstar doing "One Dirty Minute" and Henry Mancini making that things swing with "Something for Cat."
