With the advancement of environmental education, we’re all becoming a lot smarter. However some of the most mind-boggling mysteries on Earth still haven’t been solved. One example might be the fate of my disappearing socks, but that’s not important right now, is it? Let’s delve into the discoveries that have had historians scratching their heads in disbelief and bewilderment.
Stone Spheres
Costa Rica is home to our first confusing archaeological discovery. On the Diquis Delta, big stone spheres were discovered, and those who inspected them believe they date as far back as 600 A.D. What purpose they served is still being debated – some believing for astronomy use while others think of them as ancient GPS co-ordinates. I guess we aren’t going to find out any time soon.

The mechanism was capable of tracking the sun’s and moon’s movements. It could also calculate the frequency of eclipses and could even track the four-year cycle of athletic games. Some believe that the Antikythera mechanism was the first computer.
