Field Work

Ongoing field research conducted directly on the Giza Plateau, focused on structural observation, architectural analysis, and documentation of anomalies within complex archaeological contexts.

The work is based on direct, non-invasive observation and aims to identify architectural constraints, discontinuities, and contextual patterns often overlooked in conventional interpretations.

"THE SAMPLE FROM THE BOSNIAN VALLEY OF THE PYRAMIDS IS ANCIENT CONCRETE!"

The French scientist professor Joseph Davidovits, has communicated the results of electron microscopic analysis performed on the sample of concrete found in the Bosnian Valley of the pyramids, Vratnica site.

Professor Davidovits is discoverer of the geopolymer chemistry and founder of the French Geopolymer Institute. He has authored several books, 130 scientific papers and more than 50 patents in ancient cement, roman concrete and ceramics. Professor Davidovits is honored with the France's highest honor "Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Merite".

In summer 2008 geological core drillings on Vratnica elevation have revealed at a depth of 54 meters (177 ft) the "presence of layers of fine-grained concrete-like material approx. 2 meters in height" (according to the official Report from the leading Bosnian geologist prof.dr. Izet Kubat). The layers of concrete found above and below a cavity 4 meters high is a mixture of fine-grained gravel and water.

One of the samples of concrete were given to dr. Davidovits by Sam Semir Osmanagich, founder of the "Archaeological park: Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun" Foundation during International conference in Edinburgh in October of 2008.

Professor Davidovits performed the analysis of the sample of concrete using electron microscopy at the French Geopolymer Institute and confirmed that the sample taken from the tumulus in Vratnica is ancient concrete.
