Two pyramids have just been found, in Bosnia of all places! They seem to be 2500 years old and are 1/3 bigger than the ones in Egypt.
Those puppies are huge! I know, I trampled all over them!
Here is a link to article about them:

So how did they manage to take so long to discover them?

Thats the funny part. The Egyptian pyramids are 165 meters high, the big one anyway and the one in Bosnia is over 220 meters high, significantly larger and the locals in Bosnia always saw it as just a funny shaped hill. It wasn't until this basically rich amateur archeologist came to view it, he saw there were two, maybe a mile apart or so and then noticed the bases of both were aimed at cardinal points, north south east west, lined up perfectly that way, thats when
he started looking closer and now has organized a major dig. They have already found the sizes of the major stones, about one meter by one meter by 0.7 meter, at least at the base.
One thing about Bosnia, being a European country, its not desert but forest and grassland so the whole thing was covered in vegetation, grass it looks like and also smoothed over so you wouldn't see any jaggedness like you see in the desert ones. The same thing happened to the ones in Mexico, vegatation big time covered those and it took and is taking major archological expeditions to uncover those. The ones in Bosnia don't look THAT covered however, the images I saw made it look like just a layer of grass covered dirt.

Thing is the Bosnians are going berserk, thinking it is a gift from God, making prophecies and generally getting one up on the Serbians.
