The Stone Spheres of Costa Rica

Still considered a great unsolved archaeological mystery, the near perfect ancient stone spheres of Costa Rica were first found in Costa Rica near the southern Caribbean in the Diquis Delta … and hundreds more have been found all over the country.
Introduction – The Stone Spheres of Costa Rica
One of the strangest mysteries in archaeology was discovered in the Diquis Delta of Costa Rica. Since the 1930s, hundreds of stone balls have been documented, ranging in size from a few centimetres to over two meters in diameter. Some weigh 16 tons. Almost all of them are made of granodiorite, a hard, igneous stone. These objects are monolithic sculptures made by human hands.
The spheres number over 300. The large ones weigh many tons. Today, they decorate official buildings such as the Asamblea Legislativa, hospitals and schools. You can find them in museums. You can also find them as ubiquitous status symbols adorning the homes and gardens of the rich and powerful.
