Comments regarding the visit of Dr. Schoch and Dr. Dowell to Visoko

In recent days there has been intensive discussion in some media outlets on the preliminary report of Doctor of Philosophy and Parapsychology Colette Dowell, assistant to the geologist Dr. Robert Schoch, who together spent twelve days visiting the Archaeological Park Foundation: Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun and Bosnia and Herzegovina. On this, the Foundation is issuing a statement by the President of the Board, Semir Osmanagich, commenting on the preliminary report of the guests from the USA.

The initial contact, followed by this visit, came from Dr. Dowell in June. The request of a formal visit was accepted, and the Foundation decided to host them and cover the costs of their stay.

Mr. Osmanagic writes: The scientific scepticism of Robert Schoch is shown in the case of the underwater structures between Japan and Taiwan, which are clearly man-made. His expertise, on the other hand, is demonstrated by his becoming world-famous after publishing three books on the age of the Sphinx in Egypt, which report it is as being far older than the conventional figures. In view of the fact that the Foundation is open to all, it was our pleasure to accept the request to host Dr. Schoch at the greatest geo-archaeological exploration site in the world this year.

In conversations with Robert on the Bosnian Pyramids , he expressed views which suggested he thinks that currently there are insufficient arguments to confirm that the formation is indeed man-made. He believes that a lot more work must be done to confirm this hypothesis. In order that he and Colette understand the history of Bosnia & Herzegovina, we arranged for them to visit the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, the tunnel complex beneath the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids, recent discoveries in Gornja Vratnica and Bandol near Travnik, Daorson in Herzegovina and stone spheres in Zavidovici. It is interesting that even regarding the stone spheres he did not say that they are man-made but, rather, that there is no geological explanation for them. Apparently, this is the way a geologist thinks.

We have not yet received the preliminary or final report that he promised to prepare after he returned to Boston.

In any case, the visit was useful as it faced both of us with a test: for him to try to understand the sheer grandeur of this complex, and for the Foundation to hasten efforts to find more proof on the existence of the pyramids. Our farewell was cordial and friendly. In addition to exchanging books, we agreed that he will return next year, around the same time, to do a follow-up on progress in our geo-archaeological findings.

Regarding Dr. Dowell's writings, they are entirely unrelated to geologic exploration, but rather focus on irrelevant and completely incorrect facts, so there is no need to comment on them at all. She mentions fake reports, political meddling and elections, and presents BiH (Bosnia and Herzegovina) as a backward country. We must ignore such ill-intentioned comments and, through our work and persistence, prove the hypothesis is true. Through the Foundation, we must also start other important projects in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Currently we have four on-going projects: in addition to the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids, our projects focus on the stone spheres in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the stone temple in Bandol, and on the circular stone construction in Gornja Vratnica.

Cordially,

Semir Osmanagic
