Somewhere outside Sarajevo, Bosnia, looming over a small town called Visoko, sits the mysterious Visocica hill, which renegade researchers now claim to be a man-made structure: a pyramid estimated to be 235m high, one-third taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
While experts say there is no scientific basis for his claims, 45-year-old Semir Osmanagic, an amateur Bosnia archeologist who has spent the last 15 years studying the pyramids of Latin America - is convinced that sitting underneath the hill is a giant step pyramid.
Antarctica, the icy bottom of the world, is one of the planet's last great wildernesses. With no permanent residents, the continent is managed by a treaty, which was signed by 12 nations in 1959 and was renewed in 1991. The treaty allows these countries, including the U.S., to conduct research in Antarctica, but calls the continent a natural preserve, "devoted to peace and science." But now another country down under is trying to undermine the treaty.
Late last year Malaysian fish farm workers claimed to have had a sighting—Bigfoot, Sasquatch, or Yeti—mythical creatures often relegated to the pseudo-science known as cryptozoology. Three enormous and hairy humanoids were spotted roaming the jungle of Johor.
