I saw a video about these recently. Some think they may have been a kind of throwing weapon, but nobody really knows. Many of them aren’t made in a way that a rope or string could be fitted around them.

Wrap some rope around one and sling it and the archaeologist who gets hit with it will realize real quick what they were used for.

This would put a hurt on someone. A stone throwing star.

Maybe...jjjeeeesssssssss...maybe, someone just had an interesting hobby. A pastime. An inner inspiration to create something.

Then, I could be wrong.

Either way, I don’t much care about them.

I wonder how many different people made these. The quality is all over the place.

One of them on the 3-D website looks like a grenade. Another, a round meat tenderizer.

They like 4 and 6 knobs - tetrahedron and cube based. Platonic solid based. There’s a reference to these under “History”:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid

It would be fun if some genius had made ones based on the Dodecahedron or Icosahedron.

5,000 year-old stone balls continue to baffle archaeologists

This rings a bell.

I'm sure that if you check out Mel Brooks' 2000-year old man routine, there should be something in there about stone balls...
