People have always been captivated by extraordinary archeological finds, presumably because nobody understands what they are or why they are there.

1. Stone spheres of Costa Rica
Giant stone spheres known as Las Bolas are an odd and fascinating discovery found in the Diquis River Delta. Before the Europeans arrived, an ancient society that lived there produced these enigmatic things circa 600 AD. The majority of the spheres are composed of gabbro, a kind of rock that is created when molten lava cools. The spheres were fashioned into flawless spheres by the spheres’ makers using smaller stones. Numerous individuals have pondered the purpose of these balls; some have even proposed that they were tools for astronomy or clues to undiscovered riches. However, since the civilization that created them has since vanished, no one is aware of their purpose.
