The first Pyramid in Europe found in Visoko, Bosnia

The first ever Pyramid to be found in Europe, is going to be the discovery done by a group of archaeologists at Visoko region in Bosnia - Herzegovina. The Pyramid lies beneath a massive hill near Visoko city. It was estimated to be the tallest Pyramid on the earth discovered, with height of massive 722 feet. The researchers believe that with this height this Pyramid is a third taller than Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza.

The above photo shows how the hill looks like from the Visoko city. The perfect sides with 45 degrees angles must have stirred the curiosity of the researchers.




It is believed that from the satellite picture evidence, there must be two more Pyramids near by area.The excavation work is going to continue for more six months at the site just outside Visoko, about 20 miles northwest of the capital, Sarajevo.

Will this be the biggest discovery in the history?
