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.

This theory actually makes immense amounts of sense when one considers the intense water flows likely to have occurred during the endings of the various ice ages as the glaciers melted en masse. A very very compelling theory, indeed.

"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.

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?

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. Look up the composition of 2000 series aluminum. It's extremely similar to what this thing is made of.

The thing with the aluminium wedge is, bucket teeth on diggers that I’ve ever worked on are all made from hardened steel. Aluminium would wear out way to fast, but I have to say it is what I immediately thought of, perhaps aluminium toothed diggers have been used for very soft ground but I’d have thought steel would still be cheaper.

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.

Hydrocephalus is the most likely that skull is in that form.

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.

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....

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?

I live in south Texas. When the fracking boom hit, there was a lot of digging in the area. There were a lot perfectly round sand stone boulders of different sizes being pulled out of the ground. Some were canon ball size. Others basketball size and some around five feet in diameter. Locally a lot of people have them as decoration in their yards. Supposedly a theory is that ancient volcano heated up mud and bubbles got trapped in the mud forming the perfectly round rocks.

My family has property about 30 miles southeast of Dallas, the soil is a fine sand and lots of clay of various colors. We find those stone balls there also, some of then have a dull yellow crystal inside I've heard called Lemonite. Some of them are segmented with crystal borders and when exposed to freezing they come apart like a puzzle. Sometimes they are double, fuzed together and my brother has one with a corkscrew shape growing out of it. They do make great yard art. We find them in stream beds also.

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. Here is an image of the Moeraki Boulders www.newzealand.com/assets/Tourism-NZ/Waitaki/85714a3347/img-1542261577-3833-781-0179A7C6-B607-B762-6169D9B6F6E173E4__aWxvdmVrZWxseQo_FocalPointCropWzQyMCw5NjAsNTAsNTAsNzUsImpwZyIsNjUsMi41XQ.jpg This natural geological phenomenon of spherical concetions is far from unique to New Zealand though, with a variety of other places across the world sporting their own giant spherical balls made of different minerals, rocks & metals, such as "Bowling Ball Beach" in Northern California: www.onlyinyourstate.com/northern-california/unusual-beach-norcal/ "The Valley of Balls" in Torysh, Kazakhstan: www.atlasobscura.com/places/valley-balls-rocks The “Moqui Marbles” of the Navajo Sandstone Formation, Utah: i.pinimg.com/originals/cd/44/09/cd4409837560e91f5aadb1b6860f96ae.jpg And washing up Canada's artic shoreline (really stunning specimen here!): www.quarrymagazine.com/2020/08/07/unnaturally-round-rock-spheres-are-perfectly-natural/ More spherical concretions locations: pacificnorthwestadventures.weebly.com/blog/what-on-earth-is-a-concretion , www.travelalberta.com/uk/listings/athabasca-river-wilderness-experiences-5178/ .

It doesn't mean that the balls weren't a part of the natives narratives though, with New Zealanders having myths and stories surrounding the Moeraki and Koutu Boulders and in Northern Australia, the aborignes having their local legends surrounding the "Devils Marbles" (although those concretions aren't that spherical, they're still formed by the same sorts of geological processes).

@@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...

If I had to choose between an alien landing gear part or an excavator tooth to which is more likely, than id begrudgingly have to say alien landing gear. Using aluminum on the working end of an excavation tool is both about as logical and effective as it would to use cardboard tubing for plumbing. Aluminum is structurally a wonder material, however it has the drawback of being extremely soft, its hardness is roughly equivalent to wood, which is precisely why you rarely if at all see aluminum used on heavy equipment like an excavator.

I agree that most inexplicable artifacts do have a rational explanation. But I must say that also that sometimes mainstream historians will stretch things a bit to fit their narrative.

google craniofacial duplication. If you think the starchild makes him an alien just wait til you see the images of the Spanish case of 1774 as noted in French literature of the time. Two mouths, two sets of eyes, two nose structures in one skull. The starchild just suffered from a complex series of genetic issues that can broadly be diagnosed symptomatically to be what simon mentioned, this being merely an umbrella term based on physical presentation and not representing a true understanding of the genetic cause which can involve multiple issues at different points on the genome some of which can be entirely spontaneous mutation and some hereditary. It's just called bad luck, it's the risk we all take when we mate and mix genetic material, I had a child last year who had through no particular fault of anyone an entire extra set of male chromosomes. Seeing the the test results for myself, everything was duplicated out so there was one set from mum, two exact copies from dad. Doesn't make him an alien though even with all the odd physical traits that produced.

Some of them rocks have holes in them and I would drink rain water from them that would collect after rain. I seen and play on them hundreds of times . And one thing that I remember when u walk thru under your feet feels like is halo space would make strange noise and like kid I was scared that will collapse it feels so strange when u walk.

For many centuries, it was assumed that there must be a landmass in the southern hemisphere equal in size to the northern. This assumption was based on the idea that the Earth must be symmetrical. Thus, cartographers would include a large landmass where Antarctica is without ever seeing it. Today we know that there is significantly more landmass in the northern hemisphere.

@seanwilson1977 Рік тому
This is simply not true. Practically every atlas, including Mercator's first, had nothing at the south pole. The argument that people drew landmasses because they thought hemispheres must be balanced is 1) an insult to all the map makers of previous ages, it's basically saying none of them were scientific and just drew whatever they fancied, and 2) is a sad attempt to diminish the few oddities which still exist, such as the Piri Reis and Oronteus Finaeus maps, because they don't fit in a comfortable archaeological paradigm. It's an all too familiar case of this generation dismissing every person who came before us as being less professional, less diligent, less trustworthy, and less capable than we are today; an assumption that's utterly wrong.

@@seanwilson1977 If map makers didn't draw fanciful stuff on their maps then "where be dragons"? I think it is more likely that they heard tales from sailors that traveled around the horn of Africa that there was land to the south. The sailors might have been blown off course in a storm or something. A map maker added it to his map to get the scoop on competitors, and other maps added it to avoid being left out.

3:04 the theory that Antarctica was once in a different location, I.e a different latitude, it was a much more tropical land mass and when tectonic shifts happened, Antarctica was lucky enough to slowly move into the pathway of the polar vortex which is a current that runs around the South Pole in the ocean. This polar vortex increased the tectonic plate movement of Antarctica and slowly shuffled it into the center where it lies trapped and Frozen. I'm pretty sure there is evidence for that such as the existence of the polar vortex.

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.

Another way to say “defy explanation” is “we’re not smart enough to explain.” For most of the things we don’t understand, we’re not smart enough to realize that we’re ignorant.
