Dr. Robert M. Schoch

History

Robert M. Schoch is an associate professor of Natural Science at the College of General Studies, a 2 year non-degree granting unit of Boston University. He received his Ph.D. in geology and geophysics from Yale in 1983, and is best known for his argument that the Great Sphinx of Giza is much older than conventionally thought and that possibly some kind of catastrophe has wiped out other evidence of a significantly older civilization. In 1991, Schoch redated the famous monument to 7000–5000 BC, based on his assertion that its erosion was due mainly to the effects of water, rather than wind and sand, and also based on seismic studies around the base of the Sphinx and elsewhere on the plateau.

The Bosnian Pyramids: The Biggest Hoax In History?
The Bosnian Pyramids: The Biggest Hoax In History?
Himself
In this exciting documentary you'll join a small team to the Bosnian city of Visoko. They've heard of a man called Semir 'Sam' Osmanagich. He claims to have discovered huge old pyramids, a vast network of underground tunnels and an ancient tumulus. For four and a half days he guided our team around, in search of proof of his claims. The Bosnian Indiana Jones, as Osmanagich is nicknamed, promised to show our camera crew the best places. So it would be definitive once and for all that there really are pyramids in the Bosnian Visoko valley. But are there? Or is it the biggest hoax in history?
