Mysteriously strange 2.8 billion-year-old orbs

The spheres found in South Africa's mining fields could be artifacts of a highly prehistoric civilization.

According to Epoch Times, Oopart (out of place artifact) is a term used to refer to prehistoric objects discovered in different parts of the world, and has a good level of skill. Art goes beyond the age of creating them. Oopart often causes thought-based scientists to have a headache, stimulating them to find new theories, and at the same time initiate many debates.

Michael Cremo, a prehistoric cultural researcher, traveled all over the world to gather information about oopart artefacts. In 1984, Cremo contacted Roelf Marx, the manager of the Klerksdorp Museum (South Africa), to study the strange spheres called Klerksdorp currently stored here. They are found at mining mines in South Africa. Cremo compiles his findings into the famous book "Prohibited Archeology: The Obscure History of Humans".

Marx describes the Klerksdorp spheres dating to about 2.8 billion years old, with a very hard surface and an inner fiber structure. Marx feels they are quite strange and confusing.

"Nothing is published about the scientific sphere. They were found in pyrophyllite kaolin quarries , near the small town of Ottosdal in western Transvaal. This kaolin stone formed from sediments of about 2.8 billion. This is a fairly soft mineral with a score of 3 on the Mohs scale (scale from 1 to 10 to classify the hardness of minerals, of which the softest talc rock, the hardest diamond) " , Cremo said.

"The spheres have a fiber-like structure inside, and an outer layer is as hard as steel, can't be scratched."

According to Cremo and a number of other researchers, spheres of Klerksdorp add evidence that intelligent life has existed on Earth for a long time, before the time when we often assume.

Many people believe that the Klerksdorp sphere is formed by a natural process called fusion (the accumulation and hardening of minerals).

Some Klerksdorp globes have elliptical shapes with rough rough lines around the central area. But others have a balanced shape and ratio. The grooves around them look very straight, like someone etched by hand. It is very unlikely that they form naturally, supporters of the spherical hypothesis created by intelligent organisms, said.

In 2002, Klerksdorp Museum published a letter from John Hund in Pietersburg (South Africa), on the website. According to geologist Paul V. Heinrich, the statement made in the letter is unverified and then it is removed. Hund said that one of the spheres was tested at the California Space Institute (USA). Scientists came to the conclusion that the sphere is very well balanced, exceeding the limits of their measurement technology. It is only one-hundred thousand inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm) from perfect perfection.

In Utah, people also found similar spheres called Moqui balls or Moi balls , dating back about 2 million years. Legend has it that the lost ancestors of Hopi Native Americans played games with marbles and left them as a message to their relatives, showing that they were still happy and alright.

Moi balls have sandy inner core and hard outer shell, made from iron oxide. Heinrich's experiment on one of the Klerksdorp spheres showed that it had the composition of hemati t (mineral of iron oxide). Heinrich also discovered another sphere of Klerksdorp made from wollastonite minerals with hematite and goethite , a hydrated iron oxide.

According to Dr. Karrie Weber of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (USA), bacteria may have helped to form spheres as secondary products during their growth.

Geologist Dave Crosby conducts research in Utah, where Moqui marbles were discovered, initially hypothesizing a meteor crash that dispersed molten spheres, then condensed into sand . However, when studying further, Crosby did not find any evidence of the impact of the meteorite impact. Later, he developed a hypothesis regarding rainwater that dissolves iron, minerals, and carries them into groundwater. Iron will then accumulate around sand grains, forming a sphere.

Cremo and some other researchers support the notion that oopart is evidence of advanced prehistoric civilization. Scientists need to be brave and more willing to acknowledge the evidence that may be contrary to the prevailing perception.
