Alright, so here’s the mystery: in Costa Rica, there are these giant stone spheres scattered around, and no one knows for sure who made them. They’re perfectly round and date back to ancient times, likely created by the Diquís people, an indigenous culture that lived there long before Europeans arrived. These spheres were carved out of stone, possibly using tools made of other rocks, which is wild when you think about how smooth and precise they are. Some people think they were used as symbols of power or markers for important places, like villages or sacred sites. Others let their imaginations run wild, suggesting they’re connected to aliens or ancient maps of the stars. While archaeologists are still piecing it together, the spheres remain one of Costa Rica’s coolest and most mysterious treasures!
