The secret of the amazing valley of balls in Kazakhstan

On our planet there are a huge number of amazing places, the secrets of which for many years have been puzzling scientists and researchers. One of these places, of course, is the mysterious valley of balls located on the Kazakh peninsula of Mangystau. For a long time, experts from all over the world tried to find the answer to the question, where did the huge stone blocks of such a regular round shape come from. It seemed that without mysticism and alien intervention could not do. But, as it turned out, their origin is much more ordinary. At least, this hypothesis put forward by scientists is considered the most probable and reliable.

So, according to the assumptions of bright minds, stone balls were formed as a result of electrical discharges that appeared in the earth's crust in zones of active tectonic faults. During rotation, the rocks were transformed into spherical blocks called nodules.

Scientists believe who nodules were formed in those distant times, when there were ponds in place of the modern valley. The grain, or core, of the ball was formed from the remains of small organisms that lived in water bodies. This can be confirmed by the fact that, considering the breed inside the ball, you can see the preserved ancient prints of insects, shells and fish.

It is worth noting that under the influence of external factors the shape of the balls is gradually changing until now.
