Ancient European Pyramids

I just saw this article posted on Slashdot about the recent discovery of an ancient pyramid in Visoko, Bosnia-Herzegovina. This is the first pyramid found in Europe. You can read about it yourself "Experts find evidence of Bosnia pyramid".

This probably means that this pyramid was built more than 10,000 years ago. It was probably buried glaciers of the last Ice Age which is roughly around 11,000 years ago. This opens the question, "who built this pyramid?". The archaeologists, geologists, and scientists will be studying this discovery for years to come.

Some day, there will be a general acknowledgement by academia that human civilization is really 50-100,000 years old. The current academic notion that civilization is roughly 5000-6000 years old is starting to look a bit ridiculous. With all the archaeological discoveries in the past 10-20 years, the evidence is mounting and I suspect will soon become unrefutable that civilization is much older than what we are led to believe by academia.
