Schwarz-Schilling: If They Think that this is Natural, They Should Prove It

“I don’t believe that this is made by nature, and the skeptical scientists who claim it is should come here, experiment and prove it,” said the High Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Christian Schwarz-Schilling, during his visit today to the Bosnian Valley of Pyramids.

The High Representative and a group of his friends and colleagues met with Bosnian Pyramid foundation president and director Semir Osmanagich, executive director Mario Gerussi, domestic and international coordinator Elma Kovacevic, board members Mahir Hadziahmetovic, Ahmed Bosnic and Jovo Jovanovic, and the mayor of Visoko Municipality, Munib Alibegovic.

Mr. Osmanagich presented findings which indicate the presence of man-made structures in the valley to Mr. Schwarz-Schilling and his group, and discussed future plans of the foundation in researching and protecting the cultural and historical heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“When you look back at history, behind big projects there were always visionaries who approached their research with a passion, and often official science would, after time, agree with their visions. We have a visionary here,” said Mr. Schwarz-Schilling. He added that every expert, no matter how good and knowledgeable he is in his field of work, must be open to new possibilities.

Guests from the Office of the High Representative spent more than two hours touring sites on the Pyramid of the Moon and talking with the officials present. They left Visoko impressed.

Before leaving, Mr. Schwarz-Schilling expressed the need to recognize the past as a building block for the future. “Congratulations on the current progress, on giving possibilities for today’s generations to see a far-away past, and I hope that your vision, every day, will get closer to the truth. I wish you a lot of success in your future work, and don’t hesitate to ask for my help.”
