    A hill with a hidden secret



    Saturday, Dec 24, 2005,Page 13


    PHOTO: AP

    The man in this picture believes the hill he is standing in front of may be more than just a hill.

    It's a little hard to believe because the area is now covered with grass and trees, but this man thinks that there is a very old pyramid hidden underneath that hill.

    The hill is in Bosnia (波士尼亞), which is where this man is from. He has studied pyramids in other countries for 15 years, and now he believes he has found one in his own country.

    He found pieces of sandstone made a long time ago in the area in front of the hill. If he is right, he thinks these stones were part of the decoration that went in front of the pyramid a long, long time ago.

    PYRAMIDS WORLDWIDE
    Pyramids are all over the world. The most famous pyramids are in Egypt. The tallest pyramid in the world, The Great Pyramid of Giza, is one of them. It was probably built in 2580BC and it was 146.5m tall when it was built. Scientists think it took about 20 years to build!
