Strange Spheres Discovered in Mines in South Africa Are 3.8 Billion Years Old. Who Created Them?
Researchers have been interested in the mysterious ancient spheres found in South African mines for decades. All scientists agree that these round objects, which were found in pyrophyllite deposits near Ottosdal, South Africa, are rocks that are more than three billion years old and were made by carbonate concretions.
11 How were these strange spheres formed?
The tiny 0.5–10 cm pyrophyllite spheres with even latitudinal grooves were made when minerals formed in the space between sediments, similar to how crystals can naturally form very precise shapes. The weathering of these specimens turned them into tiny balls surrounded by evenly spaced lines.

10 The answer doesn’t satisfy those thinking they are a bit too perfect to have formed naturally
Even so, this answer doesn’t really help those who think the spheres are too perfect for them to have been made by nature. Since they were first found in South African mines, conspiracy theorists have been very interested in them because they think they are proof of ancient aliens.

9 One unverified account states that the spheres were created in space
A story that can’t be proven said that a man brought one of the spheres to NASA. This story led to a lot of doubt about where the spheres came from. NASA tested the stone and told the man that the sphere could only have been made in space because its balance was too good for it to have been made on earth. There is no proof of this story, and a close look at the spheres has debunked claims that they are “perfectly balanced” and “harder than steel.”

8 Fake archaeologists argue that an ancient intelligent race created the spheres
Still, the spheres are used by fake archaeologists to argue that intelligent beings walked the earth three billion years ago and made the spheres for religious or military purposes. Some people even say that ancient people made the spheres as a form of information technology millions of years before the first humans walked the earth.
Even though these claims aren’t true, scientists agree that the spheres are just a natural wonder of the world that should be appreciated for what they are.
