Can three stones found on Osijela Hillsolve the mystery of the identity of the ancient master builder race that created the structures in the Bosnian Pyramid Megacomplex?
Will finger-like marks in ancient claystones forever alter our understanding of Earth’s history?

August 5, 2017
On March 3, 2015, I discovered hundreds of artificially textured stones on the eroded western face of Osijela Hill, a steep clay and claystone structure built in ancient times as part of the Bosnian Pyramid Megacomplex.
Original locations of Bosnian Rosetta Stones on the eroding Osijela Hill
Osijela hill is located east across the Fojnica River from the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun.
The Fojnica River runs north through the village of Visoko, Bosnia, with the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun to the west and Osijela Hill to the east.

3) “The Bosnian Rosetta Stone, shaped and worked in its entirety in ancient times, bears signs, not only of the surface texturing (deep gouging) that marks the top of most of the ancient clay construction stones in the Bosnian Pyramid Megacomplex, but it also, astonishingly, shows signs of either 1) spatula-like tool marks or 2) finger marks or finger-like marks. What ancient advanced civilization made this textured stone and millions of others like it 30,000+ years ago? Let’s continue the investigation in the Visoko, Bosnia area.”

4) Exploring Osijela Hill on May 10, 2017, writer-videographer Jock Doubleday finds the Lost Stone, an ancient artificial construction stone with texturing and spatula-like tool marks or finger-like marks on it that he had photographed years earlier but had never been able to locate again. Is this stone the Rosetta Stone to the Bosnian Pyramid Complex? “Trek to Osijela Hill – Finding the Lost Stone: The Rosetta Stone to the Bosnian Pyramid Complex, May 10, 2017″

9) “University education is both a blessing and a curse – a blessing because it provides distinctions and terminology; a curse because received ideas may take on the power of orthodoxical (religious) beliefs. Anyone can do science. And you have to look with your eyes. And then you do your best to figure things out. That’s all. Just because you have a degree from a prestigious university doesn’t mean you’re right. Because it just so happens that people with degrees from prestigious universities disagree about things all the time. So, the question is, ‘What do you see with your eyes? What’s your best theory?’ And then you put that out there to the scientific audience – which is to say, to the global mind, since we’re all scientists – and then we see whose theory is the theory that does the best in the opinion of the global mind.” – Jock Doubleday, “Chasing Osijela Hill: The Bosnian Pyramid Megacomplex: Clay Quarry or Built Hill? March 3, 2015″
10) February 9, 2015: On Osijela Hill we see alternating 1) many-meters-deep soft clay layers alternated with 2) leftward-leaning hard claystone terrace layers – inclined into the structure for structural strength. Osijela Hill sits directly across the Fojnica River from the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun. The two huge structures are tied together across the Fojnica River by baked, adhered claystone layers that form the Fojnica riverbed. The ancients tied together their structures here, either across the built-from-scratch Fojnica riverbed or with alternating clay and concrete layers, as with the Bosnian Pyramid of Love and the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun.

Note: Bosnian Rosetta Stone A and Bosnian Rosetta Stone B were first photographed and videotaped in situ on March 3, 2015. Bosnian Rosetta Stone C was first photographed and videotaped in situ on June 7, 2017. Bosnian Rosetta Stone A and C are now secured at an indoor location. Bosnian Rosetta Stone B is too heavy to move safely at this time.
