Japan underwater pyramid

Yonaguni Island is located in the west of Japan. Yonaguni became famous in the mid-80's, where divers discovered the mysterious underwater rock terraces and pyramids with sharp corners. The scientists are inclined to believe that these pyramids were artificially created many years ago of an unknown civilization that has disappeared from the face of the earth.

The mysterious underwater pyramid of Yonaguni Island off the coast of Japan is still controversial. Is it a natural phenomenon, or the creation of man? If the Yonaguni Monument is created by man, it will radically change the history of mankind. The history of these underwater pyramids begins in 1986, when divers found an unusual rock formation at a depth of 25 meters under water. It was a rock in the form of a flat stepped terraces, pyramids and platforms. One of the highest pyramid was 600 feet wide and 90 feet in height.

On the stone blocks were traces of die-cutting and processing, which confirms the theory of scientists that the Yonaguni Monument is not a natural formation, and therefore created artificially. Masaki Kimura, a marine geologist at the University of Japan is studying the underwater pyramids for more than 15 years. The scientist believes that this place is more than five thousand years, and it was flooded 2000 years ago during an earthquake.

Other scientists believe that this structure is much older, including Teruaki Ishii, professor of geology at the University of Tokyo. He determined that the terraces plunging into the water occurred at the end of the last ice age, that is about 10,000 years ago. In this case, the age of pyramids Yonaguni is twice of that Egyptian pyramids. Interestingly, the number of found artifacts was similar on land and under water. Not far from the Pyramids was discovered carved stone head of a man, which was carved set of unknown characters. So it is hard to imagine that this is a natural formation.

Edition of Japan Times added intrigue by printing the legend of the island of Yonaguni:

"There is a land of the gods, called Nir-Kanai, the ancient gods live there, in it's unknown faraway place is a source of happiness for the whole world"

The opposite view is taken by Robert Schoch, a Professor of Mathematics at Boston University. He believed that the pyramid of Yonaguni formed naturally. According to him, it is a natural tectonic activity, as exemplified by the picture above, which is similar formation on land, created by nature. There is also the possibility that the monument was formed naturally.

In a limited area of ​​the Monument right next to each other are the elements of a completely different type. For example: a face with sharp edges, round holes, stepped descent, perfectly straight narrow trench. If the reason was only natural erosion, it was logical to expect similar forms throughout the piece of rock. The fact is that the side-by-side there are so many different elements, and is a strong argument in favor of their artificial origin.

The next argument: Blocks: separated from the rock does not lie there, where they would have to fall under the influence of gravity. Instead, they are either collected in one place, or non-existent. If the object was created by erosion, then at the bottom next to it would be a lot of debris, both on the shores of the island today. And here it is not.

Moreover, very close, just a few meters away on the same rock of the same breed, radically different landscape. But even with the naked eye can see its sharp contrast to the treated part of the rock.

The meeting of two professional geologists had to Yonaguni Monument is literally epoch-making significance. Earlier versions Schoch stuck natural nature object, Kimura insisted on its origin entirely artificial. As a result, taking into account all the available evidence both specialist agreed on a kind of "compromise", the two were abandoning the extreme points of view. They came to the conclusion that the monument belongs to the so-called "Terra-Forming" - that is, the original natural "blank" was further modified and refined by human hands. Such structures are not unusual, they were very common in the ancient world... "After meeting with Professor Kimura, Schoch wrote later, I can not completely exclude the possibility that the Yonaguni Monument, at least partially processed and modified by human hands. Professor Kimura pointed out a number of important elements that I had not seen during my first, brief visit".
