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