Bosnian-American amateur archaeologist Semir "Sam" Osmanagic claims that this four-sided hill in the town of Visoko, Bosnia, pictured here on November 26, 2005, is Europe's first known pyramid.

But the president of the European Association of Archaeologists said on Friday that he had visited the 700-foot (213-meter) hill and saw no evidence that it was human-made.
