Reconstructing History Through Geometry: The Bosnian Pyramid of Love as a Spatial and Cultural Node in the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids

Abstract

Geometric relationships in the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids point to a structured spatial system centered on the Bosnian Pyramid of Love. Its position between the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun and the Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon is not only intermediate but also functionally significant. Linear alignments, angular relationships close to 60°, and a Fibonacci-based spatial framework all converge at this location. Equinoctial observations provide the clearest evidence of repeated interaction. On both 21 March and 23 September, the shadow of the Bosnian Pyramid of Love covers the western slope of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon, while the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun projects a complementary shadow along the same east-west axis. The same configuration appears twice per year, without deviation. Such repetition distinguishes this landscape from many archaeological sites where single alignments dominate. Here, multiple geometric and solar relationships operate together, forming a coherent system rather than isolated correspondences. Within a cultural and archaeological context, the Bosnian Pyramid of Love can be interpreted as a central node that links geometry, orientation, and seasonal observation. Its position suggests a role extending beyond morphology, potentially functioning as a reference point within a broader spatial and symbolic framework.
