The oldest pyramid in the world is actually not even in Egypt, the home of pyramids. It is the Visocica Pyramid which is located in Bosnia and Herzigovinan town of Visoko. It is over 1500 years old! If you read articles that say that it is not true, don't belive it. The people that made that rumor is archeoligists from Eygpt. They are actually quite jealous that their title has been taken away from them. The locals thought that this was just a hill for over 500 years. But Semir Osmanagic was determined that it was much more. You can read more about this and see more photos at the link below.
