Ancient Giant Pyramid Discovered In… Europe?

The BBC (scroll to bottom of link) reports a giant pyramid, Europe’s first, may have been recently discovered under a Bosnian hill:

"The pyramid is 100 metres high and there is evidence that it contains rooms and a monumental causeway ... The plateau is built of stone blocks, which indicates the presence at the time of a highly developed civilisation," the daily explains.

Unjournaled, a blog, has pictures of the hill (which looks, whaddya-know, much like a giant pyramid covered with dirt) and quotes the main archaeologist, a Mr. Osmanagić, hypothesizing “[The] 'Bosnian pyramid of Sun’ was a temple, built by pre-Illyrians, people who lived… 27,000 years ago.â€� He also suspects a nearby hill is the 'Bosnian pyramid of Moon.'

Unjournaled also links to this brief Reuters TV report(loads automatically) which shows the archaeologist walking around the hill, talking bout how it’s only slightly smaller than the bad boys of Giza. (Looks like he hasn't even really begun with the digging.)

Ancient hidden pyramids. Ancient civilizations. Man, I love that stuff.
