Record summary

From 2005, Semir Osmanagić promoted Visočica and nearby hills as artificial pyramids built by an ancient European civilization. Excavation, geological observation and professional archaeological criticism generally interpreted the formations as natural hills with later human activity, while supporters continued excavations and alternative claims. The lead is useful for studying how nationalism, tourism, media and pseudoarchaeology shape interpretations of landscape. The existence of the excavation campaign is well documented, but claims about prehistoric pyramid construction remain disputed and are rejected by many specialists.
