The Visoko Valley Spheres
The Bosnian stone spheres, also known as the Visoko Valley spheres, are a group of over 100 stone balls found in the Visoko Valley of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The spheres vary in size from a few centimeters to over a meter in diameter, and they are made of a variety of materials, including granite, limestone, and sandstone.
The spheres are believed to date back to the Illyrian period, around 2,500 years ago. Some researchers have suggested that they may have been used as weapons or tools, while others believe that they may have had some sort of religious or ceremonial significance.
