Japan’s Underwater Pyramid
Ever since Plato told a story about an advanced civilization that vanished into the sea to amuse his guests at a party, people have been looking for evidence of Atlantis. Any underwater find that looks like an old stone building brings up the subject of Atlantis again, at least in the tabloids.
Underwater rock formations resembling a pyramid found off Yonaguni Jima Island in the Ryukyu Islands of Japan may represent the Asian version of Atlantis according to Masaaki Kimura, a marine geologist at the University of the Ryukyus in Japan.
On the other hand, Robert Schoch, a professor of science and mathematics at Boston University claims “It’s basic geology and classic stratigraphy for sandstones, which tend to break along planes and give you these very straight edges, particularly in an area with lots of faults and tectonic activity.”
The Japanese government has taken a hands-off approach, leaving the arguments to the academic community to make a determination as to whether the formation is man-made or natural.
In the meantime this will become an underwater tourist attraction to rival the Bimini Road as a controversial ancient man-made ruin or natural rock formation.
It’s a shame that ancient civilizations never caught on to the use of corner stones to record the date of their constructions and what the construction was designed for. It would go a long way to resolve the mystery of Stonehenge and resolve the arguments about formations such as the Yonaguni “Pyramid”.
Unfortunately, many civilizations left ruins behind that were ancient before the Sumerians invented writing.
It is
what It is.
That is man made!
And the movie killed the DNA
It’s ignorant to believe that the formations are formed naturally.Our earth is too vast for us to totally understand the past,just like outer space.
The lost continant of Mu is nothing new. Keep an open mind.
Vid is kinda cheesy. But the music is really nice :D.
Well damned if that isn’t the plot to Endless Ocean…
Egyptians didn’t believe in just one god. They had many deities. I don’t believe that this is a lost continent, or a lost civilisation. They look like natural geological formations. Just because a rock formation is flat, square, or if a rock has holes in it that resembles a face, doesn’t mean it’s human made.
Read the BIBLE……. It’s one of Nimrod’s towers of Babel.
Do you ever wonder why the ancient civilizations just popped up out of nowhere.. where is the foundation for the pyramids in Egypt? People don’t just wake up one day and decide they know how to build something like that..it takes hundreds, probably thousands of years of developing skills to get to that point.. Remember that the land mass of earth was much bigger 10 to 12 thousand years ago…thousands of square miles have been swallowed by the ocean as sea levels rose after the ice age ended.. I would not be surprised to learn that there were just as many civilizations 10000 years ago as there was 4000 years ago..
