zdravo,

I have decided to begin verifying claims the there are a set of ancient pyramid structures) just north of Sarajevo near the town of [Visoko] (osm.org/way/189725592#map=17/43.97682/18.17845&layers=D) and making a better map of the area. After vacationing last year and visiting the site myself I felt the directions to this tourist attraction was lacking. I also felt that the investigators needed help with their claims.

For those unfamiliar with Visoko’s #1 thing to do based on tripadvisor

Highlighted areas show the “pyramids”

Current Tourist Map

tourism map There is no pyramids on the map

Other Tourist Sites

There is many more things to see and do in the area including the 14th century castle known as Stari Grad Visoko

Constructing the basemap

Most of the buildinga were missing and as its easy to do armchair mapping I begun the process mapping all the buildings in the western area of Visoko.

The current landuse dataset is from a 2006 landcover dataset that while accurate does not reflect the actual landcover. This will be modified to accurately reflect the landcover

When someone starts talking about investigating certain claim, isn’t it required to define criteria, required for confirming it? I mean, like, presence of straight geometric shapes, for example. Or equal dimensions (linear or angular).

You are absolutely correct @bushmanK. There are many lines of evidence they are using to claim the pyramids are valid (i.e. beams of lights emitting from them, angles and distances to each other, ect. ect.). I am still collecting the datasets to validate these claims. Check back for part 2!!

Oh, light beams and angels… I see. OpenStreetMap is very, very diverse…

Just light beams. The angels are in another area of the country. I didn’t even mention the Giant Stone Ball Mystery from this year. I got lost trying to find the place and leaving it as well. It’s sadly a big tourist attraction in Bosnia.
