Rorschach Pyramid

Most people are familiar with the Rorschach inkblot test, where the subject interprets an image out of a symmetrical inkblot. This supposedly reveals something for a psychologist.

Turns out an archaeologist in eastern Europe employed the same method and decided a nearby mountain was actually the world's largest pyramid buried underground.


Even worse, Bosnian officials (likely motivated by tourism trade and a hope of restoring nationalism after the wake of the Bosnian War) enjoy this theory enough to allocate resources towards researching the claim. The European Association of Archaeologists proclaimed in 2006, "This is a cruel hoax on an unsuspecting public and has no place in the world of genuine science." Archaeologists in Europe care not only for the diversion of funds from better projects but also worry for the care of legitimate sites in Bosnia that fall under the scope of the pyramid scheme. As to the legitimacy of his claims, the man told National Geographic in 2006, "I am 100 percent sure. There is no other option." Take that scientific method! He also wrote a book depicting the Mayans as descendants of Atlantis, who actually came to Earth from the star cluster Pleiades. Consider these words written by the madman currently using public funds to dig in the ground in Bosnia for a pyramid that does not exist:

I search for other possibilities. We today have a neutron bomb which would kill people without destroying buildings. But we have no evidence that the Maya (or other people of that time) had such a weapon, and we have not discovered skeletons which would be left after use of such weapons. So we must go further in our search for an answer. Did the spiritual and intellectual leaders of the Maya abandon the Earth’s surface and, using secret tunnels, move down into the underground? Or perhaps they moved into another dimension which is not visible to the human eye? Or, were perhaps those who were ready picked up in spaceships by their mentors from the Pleiades star cluster? Or perhaps they joined the Lords of the Galaxy and, in pods of light, set off on a journey with no return.

archaeology.org aptly uses the term "pyramidiot" and places much blame on the journalists that allow for the spread of unfounded theories. This guy probably makes a fortune off such outlandish claims, perhaps I do him a disservice in questioning his sanity? Maybe I should craft some crazy thoughts and sell them to the world?
