Even if by chance there never was off-world involvement with these structures I still find the historical aspect just as intriguing.

Local Bosnian media do run stories. Sometimes the national media covers it as well.
Many people in Bosnia and its neighboring countries have at least heard about the debate whether or not it is a pyramid.
I heard that when the story initially broke in 2005-06, the media was hushed. People were told they could lose their jobs for running a story about it.

Absolutely my point of view..archaeology doesn't have to be solely concerned with ET's...I'm more interested in my Ancestors than I am with Aliens...or should I say equally interested.Posted by 1984 (here)

Whos to say both cant be involved? :-)Posted by Rimbaud (here)

Interestingly there is (as I'm sure you know, but not everyone might have heard..)...Different materials and construction methods are used across the Valley though they all do have one thing in common - Concrete.
... a theory that concrete was used in the building of the Giza Pyramid.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/23/wo....12259608.html
CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts — It is a theory that gives indigestion to mainstream archaeologists. Namely, that some of the immense blocks of the Great Pyramids of Egypt might have been cast from synthetic material - the world's first concrete - not just carved whole from quarries and lugged into place by armies of toilers.
Such an innovation would have saved millions of man-hours of grunting and heaving in construction of the enigmatic edifices on the Giza Plateau.
"It could be they used less sweat and more smarts," said Linn Hobbs, professor of materials science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
This would suggest similar construction methods of the Bosnian Pyramids and the famous
Egyptian ones...??
Hi,
Yes, the Giza pyramids are not made from blocks of solid stone but were poured. You can see air bubbles within the blocks.
The material is different to Bosnia.
The concrete found around the Bosnian site is very course. You can see individual stones and pebbles within the mixture whereas the Giza material is very fine.
There is a connection.
Ancient Egyptians didnt build the Giza Pyramids, so who did?
Probably parts of the same culture who are responsible for all the other Great Pyramids around the world, including the Bosnian ones.

Pyramid of the Moon
Looking SE, Pyramid of the Moon is to the left, Temple of Mother Earth to the right with Love Pyramid in the foreground, centre right - Photo taken from top of Sun Pyramid.
The Moon Pyramid is 190m tall making it taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza (147m).
The pyramid is terraced with a platform rather than a peak at the top and is also built into the side of a natural hill formation.
Photo- Walking up to the NW corner
The Moon Pyramid has an elegant construction. Its exterior is constructed from layers of clay and sandstone slabs of varying shapes and sizes and the interior is constructed with sandstone blocks and concrete.
The photo below shows two exposed layers near the NW corner of the pyramid.
Above you can see two layers of sandstone slabs/tiles divided by a layer of clay. Both layers are orientated in the same direction with the same angle of decline into the pyramid.
The material used in making the larger sandstone slabs has been cut from one individual bedding plane. The pattern you see on the slabs are ripple marks, created when the rock was first deposited. The patterns you would see within the rock if it were in situ have been carried over into where they are now as slabs on the pyramid. You can follow ripples across from one slab to another just as you would be able to if it were a natural exposure of a bedding plane containing ripples.
This is no doubt one of the reasons some geologists have cast this discovery off as a natural phenomena.
The red dots indicate where there are small steps. These steps form radial gutters along the surface which channel water into holes.
This is at the top of the Moon Pyramid.
Pedologists measuring the soil came to similar conclusions as those measuring the Sun, coming in at around 16,000 years worth of deposition.
This 'well' was created when a farmer wanted to look for water, only to find layers and layers alternating between sandstone and concrete.
We again see the use of clay in thin bands between layers of blocks. Not only does this allow movement between the blocks but increases the water resistivity of the structure.
More soon.
