An Egyptologist who investigated two hills in central Bosnia believed by some to be ancient pyramids on Wednesday recommended that archaeological digs be carried out there....continues...His team - made up mostly of volunteers - found that the 2,120-foot Visocica hill has 45-degree slopes pointing toward the cardinal points and a flat top.
