Summary

The Mysterious Ancient Spheres
Four hundred and twenty geometric stone spheres have been found in the vicinity of Neolithic stone circles in Northern Scotland, with 169 coming from Aberdeenshire alone. Outside Scotland, examples have been found in Ireland at Ballymena, and in England at Durham, Cumbria, Lowick and Bridlington. One was recently spotted by the author over 6,000 miles away that came from an important megalithic pyramid site in South America.

Most of the Scottish spheres are around 3 inches (7.6 cm) in diameter, with some examples 3.6 inches (9 cm diameter) and date from 3200 BC to 1500 BC. Some show beautiful craftsmanship and symmetry, others show artistic mastery, while some look rough, badly made, or unfinished. However, some of the better-preserved examples have diameters within one millimeter of each another. Most were all discovered within the vicinity of Neolithic monuments known as recumbent stone circles. The type of rock varies from easily carved sandstone and serpentine, to difficult, hard granite and quartzite. One of the most striking aspects of the spheres is the intricate geometry that appears to show the five Platonic Solids, a long time before Plato was born.

We head to the Orkney Islands in northern Scotland and the discovery of

geometric granite balls. These balls are so advanced, there's no way the people at that time

period could have cut them. They seem to have magnetic charges. We're going to dive in and actually analyze who created these

and what was their purpose. Later, Jindeo takes us to Spain and discusses the Lady of Elshade, an unusual sculpture that has technology.

She's actually wearing what looks like some form of headgear from an unknown civilization in the ancient past.

Hey there, welcome to Earth Ancients. I'm your host Cliff Dunning and I hope you are doing well today.

Hey, last week I had mentioned the Mitchell Hedges Crystal Skull and the work of Marcel Vogel.

1:49.2

I have posted a article written by Marcel on exactly what he discovered while he was analyzing the skull.

1:59.7

Now the Mitchell Hedges crystal skull was discovered in Belize, Central America in

2:07.1

1924 by Anna Mitchell Hedges. That's why they call it the Mitchell Hedges skull. It's unique because it is, well, let's just say this. It's the size of a normal skull weighs about 11 pounds, 7, it's about 10 inches in diameter made from quartz crystal,

it's transparent, they do not understand how it was carved. It's perfectly carved. It's

2:35.8

cut in two parts. There's a jaw mandible and there's the actual cranium. Now what I've posted is what Marcel Vogel has

has discovered and this is, like late 1990s, probably earlier than that, maybe 1980s.

2:58.4

He was given the skull, he kept it for a number of months and ran a whole bunch of tests on it. So, but what's interesting about this is it really opened the door for a whole industry of crystal

3:15.0

wands, crystal pendants, and things like this that were kind of a craze.

3:18.0

And it has its interest today to people still are buying crystals and working with them but

3:26.7

Marcel was so impressed by what he discovered that he began designing and creating and cutting his own crystals

3:37.6

and selling them.

3:39.1

And to this day you can do a search for Marcel Vogel Cryngel Crystals and you can actually buy one of his crystals. They're not cheap. They're a few

hundred dollars up to about a thousand. But he believed that by holding crystals in a certain way you could you can
