Mysterious Spheres of Costa Rica Finally Being Recognized

President Laura Chinchilla of Costa Rica met with United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and asked the group to include Costa Rica’s stone spheres of Diquís which are located in the south Pacific Coastal region of Costa Rica, to be included on World Heritage List. The Costa Rican Diquís Spheres have long been considered one of the greatest mysteries of the Americas. Called Las Bolas locally, legends and myth surround these per-Columbian mysterious artifacts. The Diquis culture was a per-Columbian indigenous culture of Costa Rica that flourished from 700 CE to 1530 CE. The meaning of the word “diquís” means “great waters” or “great river” in the Boruca language and while some experts don’t believe the spheres originated from this tribe, the Boruca indios still live in the area and have a rich cultural presence in Southern Costa Rica.
