The Geometry of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun dr.sc. Ivan Šimatović, dipl.ing.el.

Topographic map of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun/ Visočica Hill

Starting Points for the Analyses of the Original Geometry 1.The Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun is proportional, bisymmetric, and perpendicular. It is a pyramid with perpendicular angles to the base, having a length of a×b and four even edges with a length of c=a 2.According to the geodetic measurements, the Northern side of the Pyramid forms an equilateral triangle with a length of a×a×a and angles of The Eastern side of the Pyramid is also an equilateral triangle with the length of a×b×a

The Ground Plan of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun

Northern and Southern sides of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun

Determination of the angle diagonals γ/2

Determination of the measurements of the side’s base The error is about 0,64 % !

In this photo, the angles can be measured more accurately than the height and length! Viking Orbiter spacecraft NASA Image: The geological formation on Mars called D&M Pyramid, has five sides, bilateral symmetry and primary alignments.

The calculation of the geometric elements of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun After determining the measurement of the diagonals b /a side bases, Pythagorean theorem could be applied and the trigonometrical relations could be simply calculated: The original height of the Pyramid h = a / 2. The angles of the shell sides and edges, although, the original dimensions of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun are still unknown.

Estimated dimensions of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun The Northern side of the base cca 440 m The Eastern side of the bas cca 620 m The length of the edges cca 440 m The height cca 220 m

The angles of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun The Northern side towards the base 35 0 The Eastern side towards the base 45 0 The edges towards the base 30 0 Top angle of the Northern side 60 0 Top angle of the eastern side 90 0 Top angle between the opposite edges 120 0

The Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun embodies multiple irrational algebraic numbers of √2 i √3

The Eastern Side of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun

Discussion of Results: These are the preliminary results and estimates of the proportions, angles and dimensions of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun The results indicate that the original architects of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun had clear bases and proportions and used it long ago to build this structure for its specific purpose. Its precise orientation towards the cardinal points indicates that its architects were possibly familiar with the energetic system of the Pyramid.

The geometry: A comparison of the Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of the Sun The Great Pyramid The Pyramid of the Sun Dimensions of the bases 230×230 m 440×620 m (620≈440×√2) The original height ~148 m~220 m The angle of the shell sides and 45 0 The constant Φ=1,618… (Π=3,14…) √2 and √3

A Comparison of the Positioning of the Great Pyramid and the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun Both Pyramids are precisely positioned towards the cardinal points (N, S, E,W) The Great Pyramid has a square base and it firmly stands on a flat plateau. The Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun has a rectangular base,and its connected with a flat hill from the Western side, which once probably served as an entry plateau.

A comparison of the construction between the Great Pyramid and the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun The Great Pyramid is layered with processed stone blocks with great precision and it lays on a flattened plateau. It represents a unique and remarkable example of the monumental construction. The Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun is probably not a layered structure, but I suppose the natural hill was flattened into an appropriate pyramid shape. Then it was coated with the firm, long lasting, cement blocks that were poured on site.

Instead of the Conclusion The preliminary analysis of the original geometry of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun in Visoko indicates that its geometry is substantially different from the geometry of the Great Pyramid (the shape of the base, side angles, and edges). The Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun is probably different in its construction (more than likely, the natural hill was shaped into a perfect pyramid) and it does not stand freely. Its Western side is leaning on the prolonged hill, possibly the entry plateau?! It could be said that the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun represents, with its impressive dimensions and geometry, a unique example of an early monumental construction.

Visoko’s Pyramids have the Future! Based on the two-year preliminary research, there is no longer doubt about the existence of a grandeur Pyramid complex and its infrastructure (a network of underground tunnels). The pyramids hold the past and give us a clear message (“ston ”) that they are a work of very skillful hands and intelligent architects. They belong to a prehistoric and unknown culture, which we may call “culture X”. In addition to their rich past, which is measured in thousands of years, they surely have their substantial future in years to come!
