THE *ALTERNATIVE* ARTEFACTS
Instead of displaying photos and publishing information on the real archaeological artefacts found during the last year's diggings in Visoko (as described in the previous post), Mr. Osmanagic's team has produced a whole series of artefacts of their own. Here are just some of those alleged prehistoric objects claimed to have been made by the mysterious civilization which also, according to Mr. Osmanagic, built the Bosnian pyramids.
I
In a document describing a „multidisciplinary project of research in the Bosnian Pyramid Valley“, Mr. Muris Osmanagic, the father of Semir Osmanagic, publishes the following photo, accompanied by this text:
„An extraordinary stone monument which, in our opinion, looks like a monumental cow. It has been completely overgrown by shrub, grass and bush. It was found and cleaned by Admir Tatar, coordinator of works at the archaeological location of Gornje Vratnice, Visoko. Cow has been celebrated for thousands of years in pagan peoples as holy, for feeding the people and families. That is the status it still has in India today. It is hard to believe that this large monument has been built during the Christian era.“
(Caption under the photo: „Fig. 107: Stone monument, found in the village of Gornje Vratnice. It was covered in bush. Looks like a cow, which used to be sacred in all pagan peoples before Christianity. It is still sacred in India today. Next to it is the discoverer Admir Tatar, coordinator of works in the village of Vratnice (Photo: prof. dr. Muris Osmanagic, October 9, 2006)“)

Next 'artefact' is a representation of a „one-tooth horse“:
(Caption under the photo: „Fig. 108: A work in stone. With the large tooth, resembles a prehistoric horse. This stone plate was found in the village of Gornje Vratnice, near the surface. At the back of the head, visible letterlike signs, among which the small 'x'.“ (Photo: Admir Tatar, July 15, 2006)“)

The next artefact has been described by Mr. Muris Osmanagic as: „Causes admiration with its motive, workmanship and creation.“ He calls it a „dragon with three heads“:
(Caption under the photo: „Fig. 110: „Three-headed dragon“ – a beautiful figurine, found in the KTK Visoko tunnel during putting up the support beams in the caved-in tunnel branch, among smaller stone material that poured from the front of the working place, 15m under the ground. 190mm long. Made from small-grained shiny, very hard cemented sand-sandstone. (Photo: prof. dr. Muris Osmanagic, December 24, 2006)“)

After the dragon comes the snake:
(Caption under the first photo: „Fig. 101: Contour of a fat snake with triangular head (poisonous), carved on the side of the stone megalith K-2 made of yellow sand-stone, at 290m from the entrance into the Ravne tunnel and 18m under the ground. On the snake's body, there are signs visible, with vertical longer and shorter lines, underneath which there are signs: large 'Y', small 'y', reverse small 'y' and 'X' (Photo: prof. dr. Muris Osmanagic, June 11, 2006)“ Caption under the second photo: „Fig. 102: Contour of a fat snake with triangular head from Fig. 101, from a different angle. Visible is the line in the snake's mouth, which circles the entire territory relief, modelled on the stone megalith K-2 (Photo: prof. dr. Muris Osmanagic, June 11, 2006)“)

The Bosnian-Herzegovinian archeology is then enriched with a „two-sided human foot“, described by Mr. Muris Osmanagic as: „. . . carried out with virtuosity. It was found in the uncovered paved northern part of the plateau of the Toprakalia hill, in Gornje Vratnice, near Visoko, 1m under the ground. It most probably served as a measure unit to the pyramid builders. In that case it would be precursor of the ancient Roman measure foot, the medieval measure foot and the Anglo-Saxon measure foot. It is 29.0cm long and 9.0cm wide. It is interesting that most people's and women's [my accentuation] foot width today is 9.0cm. In its design and workmanship this archaeological artefact represents the best proof of the high level of artistic ability and civilization of the ancient inhabitants of the Bosnian Pyramid Valley.“

It reflects the high level of civilization and artistic ability of the pyramid builders (Photo: Admir tatar, July 15, 2006)“)

Some of the more recently found similar artefacts include, in the words of Mr. Goran Cakic, member of the Osmanagic team (caption): „A very interesting stone. Definitely done by human hand. Deposited in the cellar. Not necessary to suggest what it represents. It should be felt personally. Found in the branch DB-1.“
VII
Among such prehistoric artefacts recently found in the alleged labyrinth of tunnels underneath the Bosnian Pyramid Valley, according to today's news release by Osmanagic's Foundation, is this 'wheel':
„Tons of landslided material has been removed from the tunnels. By its careful examination, the parts of a stone wheel have been observed. Its radius is about one meter. Although the wheel has been found in parts, it does not diminish its importance. For now there is no indication to which period it belongs. The wheel has been left on the spot where it was found, for further archaeological processing.“
However, two parts of this emerging 'wheel' have been seen in some photos months before:
This photo was taken in February 2007, by the Aqua Mundi company staff, employed by Osmanagic to conduct a series of research with their specially invented tool. Both the tool, the researchers and their field work can be seen in the Aqua Mundi gallery. It appears that not quite all parts of this wheel have been found in the same spot, as hinted by the Foundation report today. But then again, it does not matter, the Foundation asserts. What matters is that Bosnia-Herzegovina is the birth-place od pyramids, civilizations, scripts and now also, most probably, the wheel.
