The Pyramid: Finding the Truth (2011)

Were there ancient civilizations and pyramids in Europe predating those of Egypt? This documentary explores the controversial claims of Semir Osmanagic, an American historian and businessman who began excavating alleged pyramids in Bosnia in 2006. His assertions have sparked surprise and debate among scientists and the public. Simultaneously, German scientists have been excavating a Neolithic Butmir culture in the same valley since 2002, dating back over 7,000 years. The film examines the conflicting evidence surrounding the pyramids, their potential link to the Butmir civilization, Osmanagic's prominent role, and the involvement of media and politics. Following the key figures across Bosnia, Germany, the USA, and Egypt over four years, the documentary unveils the search for answers about a distant past while also revealing the human elements of passion, jealousy, and hypocrisy that drive the investigation.
