The spherical objects found in a mining area in South Africa may be artifacts of a very advanced prehistoric civilization.
Mysterious Billion-Year-Old Spheres in South Africa’s Mining Region
In a mining site in South Africa, the discovery of four spherical objects that do not belong to this planet has astonished the world.
According to Epoch Times, Oopart (out of place artifact) is a term used to describe prehistoric objects discovered in various locations around the world, which exhibit a level of sophistication far beyond the era in which they were created. Ooparts often baffle conventional scientists, prompting them to formulate new theories while sparking numerous debates.
Klerksdorp Spheres
Michael Cremo, a researcher focused on prehistoric cultures, travels worldwide to gather information about oopart artifacts. In 1984, Cremo contacted Roelf Marx, the curator of the Klerksdorp Museum in South Africa, to study the strange spheres known as Klerksdorp that are currently housed there. These spheres were found at a mining site in South Africa. Cremo compiled his findings into the well-known book “Forbidden Archaeology: The Hidden History of the Human Race.”
Marx described the Klerksdorp spheres as being approximately 2.8 billion years old, with a very hard surface and an internal fibrous structure. He found them quite strange and perplexing.

“There has been no scientific announcement regarding the spheres. They were found in a pyrophyllite claystone mine, near the small town of Ottosdal in western Transvaal. This type of claystone formed from sediments approximately 2.8 billion years ago. It is a relatively soft mineral with a hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale (a scale from 1 to 10 that classifies the hardness of minerals, with talc being the softest and diamond the hardest),” Cremo stated.
“The spheres have an internal fibrous structure, and an outer shell as hard as steel, which cannot be scratched.”
The Klerksdorp sphere, a 2.8-billion-year-old artifact, measures perfectly between 30-50mm and features copper grooves that appear to be intricately hand-carved. Inside the sphere is a substance resembling charcoal but soft and spongy like cotton.
According to Cremo and several other researchers, the Klerksdorp spheres provide additional evidence that intelligent life existed on Earth long before the time we typically assume.
According to evolutionary theory, the spheres found in Africa date back to a time when humans did not yet exist on Earth. This is indeed perplexing based on existing knowledge.
Is it true that the Klerksdorp sphere is additional evidence that intelligent life has existed on Earth long before the established timeline?
The hypothesis that Earth was once home to forms of life from the distant past, millions or even billions of years ago, has sparked countless debates among researchers and scholars.
Many opinions suggest that the spheres are the result of the accumulation and solidification of minerals.
According to Dr. Karrie Weber from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, bacteria may have played a role in forming the spheres.
Geologist Dave Crosby initially hypothesized that a meteorite impact scattered the molten spheres, which then solidified on sand.
Many believe that the Klerksdorp spheres formed through a natural process known as concretion (the accumulation and solidification of minerals).
Some Klerksdorp spheres have an elliptical shape with rough patterns around the central area. Others, however, have a balanced shape and proportion. The grooves around them appear very straight, as if they were hand-carved. The likelihood of them forming naturally is very low, proponents of the theory that the spheres were created by intelligent beings argue.
In 2002, the Klerksdorp Museum posted a letter from John Hund in Pietersburg, South Africa, on its website. According to geologist Paul V. Heinrich, the claims made in the letter were unverified and were later removed. Hund stated that one of the spheres had been examined at the California Institute of Technology. Scientists concluded that the sphere exhibited a very high degree of symmetry, exceeding their measurement technology’s limits. It was only one one-hundred-thousandth of an inch (1 inch = 2.54 cm) away from absolute perfection.
Moqui Balls in Utah, USA
In Utah, similar spherical objects known as Moqui Balls or Moqui Marbles, dating back about 2 million years, have also been found. Legend has it that the lost ancestors of the Hopi Native Americans played games with these marbles and left them as a message to their loved ones, showing that they are still happy and well.

The Moqui Balls have a core made of sand and a hard outer shell made of iron oxide. Heinrich’s experiments on one of the Klerksdorp spheres revealed that it contained hematite (an iron oxide mineral). Heinrich also discovered another Klerksdorp sphere made from wollastonite along with hematite and goethite, a hydrated iron oxide.
According to Dr. Karrie Weber from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, bacteria may have contributed to the formation of the spheres as a byproduct of their growth process.
Geologist Dave Crosby conducted research in Utah, where the Moqui Balls were discovered, and initially hypothesized that a meteorite impact scattered the molten spheres, which then solidified on sand. However, upon further study, Crosby found no evidence of a meteorite impact. He then developed a hypothesis involving rainwater dissolving iron and minerals, which were carried down to the groundwater. At that point, iron would accumulate around sand grains, forming the spheres.
Cremo and several other researchers support the view that ooparts are evidence of an advanced prehistoric civilization. The scientific community needs to be more courageous and willing to acknowledge evidence that may contradict current mainstream perceptions.
