"Las piedras redondas" are not a mystery at all, today. They we're used to mark tombs of important people. The more important you were the bigger the sphere. Luckily, for us, in the islands near to the coast of Costa Rica there are, also this "piedras redondas" and mostly were left untouched. Also, Costa Rica, is not know for it's archeological sites because... it's not a priority for the government to dig in ancient sites as they make most of the money from nature tourism. As I was there we crossed some ancients sites, on one of them we asked the size, 20 hectares of which the have properly excavated 300 square meters. At this rate in one thousand years we will know a lot more about the ancient civilizations that populated what we today call Costa Rica.

Regarding the spheres I may have some insight. I have a stone sphere here at my house in Brazil. It belonged to my grandfather-in-law who took it from the Itaipu Dam in Brazil, where he was one of the original engineers responsible for building the dam. Apparently, boulders can become trapped or loosely wedged under large flows of water, i.e., immense dam flows, and are at first irregularly shaped. The constant bobbing and turning of irregularly shaped boulders wedged under large water flows eventually transforms them into perfect spheres, due to chipping and abrasion. My Grandfather-in-law found one of these stones under one of the flows that was eventually stopped, and took it home as a souvenir. It's relatively small, maybe weighing about 120 kilos, but looks exactly the same as the stones shown here.

Super cool story, but how do you expect water to constantly keep these spheres of rock moving if heavy equipment can’t move them? I’ve seen smaller versions of this done. A granite stone in front of a Ripley’s believe it or not museum did the same trick. The museum pumped water underneath a granite ball while the weight of the rock kept it pressured on the water pushing it up. But I think a 15 ton rock would of cracked the concrete sidewalk this spectacle sat in. If a river can create enough pressure to keep a 15 ton rock suspended in water, where is that river now?

@@kevinthielmann9408 It was a Dam, specifically the Itaipu dam, which is the largest in South America, and I think, one of the largest Dams in the World. Anyway, the water outflows from the dam are constant and massive, so it may have started as a massive irregularly shaped rock, and bobbed and chipped irregularly for many years under these massive water flows from the Dam, until it became spherical. I would imagine that, at first, the stone is not a sphere. I would also imagine that at first it's not moving a whole lot, but rather jutting around just a little under the massive dam flows. A little bit of jutting around will result in small chips to the stone. This in turn would free up more space to jut around. In all, this process repeats itself until the rock is ultimately freer to move around more, thus more chipping, and in turn, over time, making it more spherical.

Hey Simon, Here is a therory for the origin of the aluminum "tooth". My late uncle was a famous inventor of high performance aircraft. He explained the origin of airplane aluminum as an abscent minded mistake in a mill. A small amount of copper was accidentally dumped into a bucket of nearly pure aluminum. So they poured and cooled the mix and were shocked at it's strength and light weight. Then they made many more experimental batches of the mix, until they got the best ratio. I will bet this thing was a part on a plane that fell off and embedded deep into the soil. After all, who would make an excavator tooth out of aluminum?

My first thought was that it looked like part of some heavy machinery. Romania was behind the Iron Curtain, so I suppose it's possible they may have used / experimented with different materials. Also it could have been part of some mine-clearing device after WW2. Though you'd think a machine you expect to be blown up regularly, and thus need replacement parts a lot, would be made very cheaply.

The so-called artifact could have possibly come off a bucket used in an environment where no sparks were allowed and they neglected to change it out. Alloys were developed to change the properties of metals being used, make them harder, more elastic, less brittle, the item in question is no doubt made up of an alloy.

I like the theory I read once, that those stone balls, and these other perfectly flat and perfect stone rectangles were the equivalent of the aluminum cube test for modern day fabricators. Nascar welders have to make perfect cubes of aluminum with perfect welds, and they’re tested to prove their skill. Perhaps ancient craftsman did similar things to practice and learn and show off their skills to earn jobs, or prove their worth as a maker. It’s something mankind has always done… creative people tinker and make and create, for other reason than… because. Cave art, statues and toys.. it goes back millennia! Another cool theory is practicality. Stone cylinders were found near an old civilization and the theory is that they would carve the stone round, and then roll it to where it’s needed and then hack it into useable bricks from there. Perhaps those spheres were something similar… maybe they were rolled down the mountain from the quarry and then broken into building materials?

There's an area in New Zealand which has got lots of giant stone sphere's called the Moeraki Boulders and a another part of New Zealand has also got another bunch of giant spheres called the Koutu Boulders. The sphere's have been subjected to a lot of testing and were found to be geological phenomenons, despite many being almost perfectly spherical and some quite massive (the larger specimens measuring nearly 7ft wide). New Zealands mystery boulder spheres are in fact concretions made up of a mixture of mud, silt and clay hardened by calcite. 66-56 million years ago the area was deep under the water in the ocean and the ocean floor substrate was made up of fine marine mud silt. Calcium in the mud began to precipitate and gradually over millions of years, helped formed the surrounding substrate in sphere-shaped concretions.

@@maywalker997 very interesting, and appreciate the links you gave...(!) 🙏 Although I didn't think the ones in the first was really spherical, (thought they more "blob"-like,) the Canadian ones looked very like the ones in this video... and with your explanation of how some of the New Zealandian formed in mud on the ocean floor, and since got lifted out of the ocean, and then washed out the surrounding soil, that got me thinking, that maybe those stones in the video once were lying in shallow water, and got washed around by waves, and thus got rounded to their now ball-like shape, before they too got lifted out of the sea. Why they are all perfectly above ground, I guess could be down to humans digging them out, and rolling them around to were they wanted them situated...

Hydrocephalus is the most likely that skull is in that form. My little brother, who is dead now, had Hydrocephalus and his skull shape was identical to the one being shown in this video, of which I've seen his ex-rays as proof of the matter. Additionally, I don't know if other people born of this condition has had the same feature that my brother's brain had, which was separated down the middle, but still remained attached at the ends, if I'm remembering correctly. He lived to a little over 50 years, which made him the oldest living specimen at the time, so I was told. He wasn't much different from other people mentally or emotionally, however, his memory was absolutely mind blowing better than most people I've known. Anyhow, I thought I'd just throw that out there for people to ponder. If you have any questions regarding what I remember of my brother, please feel free to ask.

@@ms.szorro8583 As for his death, by no means will that bother me at all. The way he died will blow your mind, as it did mine, I'm sure. Again, I'm not good at remembering dates, so that is another thing I'll need to post for you later, however, I was there during his death and can tell you all about that. As I believe I'd mentioned in the original post, doctors had told us that my brother, Eddie, was the oldest to live throughout the world after being born with hydrocephalus, which made us feel pretty good, because we had him in our lives for that amount of time at least. If you'd met him, you couldn't help but to love him because he was special in many ways. To get back on track though and save other facts of his life for another time, if you wish to learn more, I'll begin at about 6 months prior to the date that he died. Firstly, I guess that you should know that all was a naturally accuring manner of death in Eddie's case. Six months prior to his death, we were staying with my sister, Diane, in Whitehall, Wisconsin. One day, while he and I were the only people in the living room watching television, he called me over to his where he was sitting and, first, asked me when Easter was, so I told him when it was. Then straight out, he said, "That's about when I'm going to die." Jokingly, I asked him how he knows that and all he said was, "I don't know how I know, I just know that I will be dying around Easter." That knocked me back a bit, but he wasn't a person to lie about anything, so I knew immediately, that it must be true. He let it be known to me that I was the light and love of his life and that I always will be, which made me feel proud of him, just as much and echoed my love back to him. Shortly after that conversation, he was set up with Hospice right there at Diane's and, as I sat right there in his chair, I was the only one to watch him take his last breath. Quietly, with only pure silence, I clearly heard him say nothing, not even a moan or sigh, pass on to the other side, exactly one week to the day after Easter. From that moment forward, I knew he was and always be my brother and my Angel. There's more to the story, of course, but I don't want to bore you too badly, so I'll close here for now. Feel free to ask anything else about him, any time....

There's an area in New Zealand which has got lots of giant stone sphere's called the Moeraki Boulders and a another part of New Zealand has also got another bunch of giant spheres called the Koutu Boulders. The sphere's have been subjected to a lot of testing and were found to be geological phenomenons, despite many being almost perfectly spherical and some quite massive (the larger specimens measuring nearly 7ft wide). New Zealands mystery boulder spheres are in fact concretions made up of a mixture of mud, silt and clay hardened by calcite. 66-56 million years ago the area was deep under the water in the ocean and the ocean floor substrate was made up of fine marine mud silt. Calcium in the mud began to precipitate and gradually over millions of years, helped formed the surrounding substrate in sphere-shaped concretions. Sometimes the spherical concretions built up around a fossil that was lying in the seabed (such as a marine reptile bone or tooth), whilst other boulders are hollow on the inside. The boulders are quite famous because after being naturally eroded out of the mudstone that they were formed in, quite a number of them lie strewn across the beach in clusters that could easily be mistaken for some sort of modern art installation.

A few years ago I visited a gorge in New Hampshire (either Flume or Lost River, can't remember which) and they had on display a stone sphere which was found at the site, about a foot in diameter. Apparently in some river and gorge environments stones get jostled around so much they erode into near perfect spheres. I can well imagine natives finding such objects and taking inspiration.
