New stone sphere was discovered in Brnjic, 11 miles from Kakanj in Central Bosnia. Just over 3 feet in diameter it has spherical shape and is built from sandstone. Archaeological Park: “Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun” has registered more than 20 such locations in Bosnia where we have these mysterious, prehistoric phenomenon of stone spheres.
There are three types of materials that these spheres were built from: sandstone, granite and volcanic stones. The largest stone sphere found so far in the village Slatina, near Banja Luka. Eight such spheres, all built from granite were found in Teocak near Tuzla, and individual ones were also found near Vareš, Kakanj, Srebrenik, Konjic, Trn, Mostar, Sanski Most…
The largest concentration, with over 40 stone spheres was discovered in Duboki Potok, near Zavidoviæi. On that location in 2006, Foundation founded Archaeological Park:”Bosnian Stone Spheres” which became tourist attraction.
Besides in Bosnia, stone spheres can be found in South Costa Rica, West Mexico, Easter Islands, central Serbia and couple of other locations.
Foundation team consisting of: Ahmed Bosniæ (chairman), Semir Osmanagiæ (founder), Zajim Ahmetspahiæ (executive director), Amila Omersoftiæ (member), Muhamed Pasiæ and others have visited the location joined by over one hundred local villagers. Nearby there is an old Ottoman cemetery, several tomb stones (stecak) and a very old church – built before Ottomans came here – which just shows a long continuity of life in this area. Professor Pašiæ took several samples from the sphere itself and the surrounding materials to be analyzed in Kemal Kapetanoviæ institute at Zenica University.
This is just another proof that central Bosnia is an archaeological sensation worldwide and deserves further and detailed exploration.
