Giant Ancient Pyramid discovered in Europe ?!

[KenWittlief]

If this discovery is what they think it is, this could radically change what we know about human history!

VISOKO, Bosnia-Herzegovina - Researchers on Wednesday unearthed geometrically cut stone slabs that they said could form part of the sloping surface of what they believe is an ancient pyramid lying beneath a huge hill.
...
Osmanagic believes the structure will prove to be 722 feet high, or a third taller than Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza.

this is really quite a cool discovery. the interesting thing is that there are two smaller pyramid-like objects in the area. similar to the great pyramids in egypt.

There are a bunch of videos popping up on internet news sites now - some of the footage (from a distance) sure looks like a pyramid.

Really some very cool stuff there.

After a quick search I found a webcam set up at the site - Here

is that a real web cam? it looks like the image never changes?

Can't be sure, I found it on a site that had many links to videos and images of the area.

Keep watching, maybe you'll start having illusions that the clouds ARE actually moving!

Yes, the image is here. Although I wonder, I've never heard of it before, but is it possible to have a .jpg that continuously updated itself, maybe once every couple minutes, to display a new image uploaded from a webcam? It seems like it would be possible, and would certainly save bandwidth as opposed to a video stream.

At this moment, it's very early morning (read: Dark) there. Looks kinda too sunny for the middle of the night....

Yes, it is used quite often, but there is no refreshing on the page or in the page's HTML, therefore this cannot be true.

The picture has not changed in the last two days, and I noticed this earlier too.

This is the first I've heard of it and I'm on this side of the Pond!
