Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon is the second biggest pyramidal structure in the world with it’s height of 190 meters. This pyramid has been one of the focus of investigation this season in Visoko. Great number of volunteers, archaeologists and geologists have had a chance to open new archaeological trenches or enlarge existing ones. 


Three-sided Moon pyramid has a unique design combining paved terraces and clay layers. Clay was used as the construction and binding material. Similar combination can be found in a case of Chinese pyramids in Shaanxi province. 

During the period June-August 2010, volunteers and archaeologists have uncovered perfectly preserved paved terrace. Three vertical layers and four horizontal raw have been exposed. 

Italian and Spanish archaeologists discovered artificially-made water channels. There is also a step with sandstone blocks cut at the same slope. Half-radius of this terrace is made very diligently with half-circled sides at the meeting point of two blocks. 

This trench is labeled “Sonda 20” and has attracted tens of thousands of tourists to the Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon this year.
