there was an emperor in Europe who used orb’s as the symbol for his throne.
i think his name was Charlemagne but it was in the first millennium, around 1055 not b.c.
b.c. is huge!!
not gonna find something like that except in a museum.
actually, i read recently that museum of natural science in new york wanted to return some costa rican national artifacts but needed $55,000 for the shipping.
i wonder if spheres are involved?

crltd[quote=”maravilla”]not only are these spheres (i am not going to call them BALLS!) pre-colombian, but they are B.C. or so it is believed, and there are only maybe 130 of them in existence that they know of. i know where you can get a good copy, but it’s not likely you will find the real thing.[/quote]absolutely,theirs some things you just don’t pick up and walk away with.as an adult,with just A small bit of education,I know the line between driftwood and indian or other artifacts.
I’m an idiot,and I know this,I even nkknew the word “carrion”.[quote=”hasselwander”]I placed this inquiry as a serious request for information, but with the exception of a semi serious response from Scott, all I got was adolescent bathroom humor. I got a better response from Wikipedia. But I have not found an answer to either question from eiher Wikipedia or this source. Does anyone know where any are for sale, and if it is legal to own them. Scott reiterates my concern that they may be protected archaeological artifacts. Does anyone know, or know where I can find out?[/quote]
There is a place in Ciudad Colon that has several of them but I believe they are replicas. As Scott said, They are archeological items and probably illegal to own the real thing.
