Who Made the Giant Stone Spheres of Costa Rica?
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.
