Underwater pyramids in Japan Bashny.Net

Yonaguni Island is located in western Japan. Yonaguni became famous in the mid 80-x, when divers discovered the mysterious underwater rock terraces and pyramids with sharp corners. Is still being debated, but no one knows what secrets fraught island. Scientists are inclined to believe that these pyramids were artificially created many years ago an unknown civilization that disappeared from the face of the earth.





Mysterious underwater pyramid Yonaguni Island off the coast of Japan is still a matter of contention - a natural phenomenon is, or the creation of man? If Yonaguni monument created by man - it will radically change the history of mankind. The history of these underwater pyramids begins with 1986, when divers found an unusual formation of rocks at a depth of 25 meters under water. These were in the form of flat rocks stepped terraces, pyramids and platforms. One of the highest pyramid is 600 feet wide and 90 feet high.



On stone blocks were traces of processing and cutting, which confirms the theory of scientists that the Yonaguni Monument is not a natural formation, and created artificially. Masaki Kimura - marine geologist from the University of Japan is studying the underwater pyramid for more than 15 years. The scientist believes that this place more than five thousand years, but it was flooded 2,000 years ago during an earthquake.



Other scientists believe that this structure is much older, including Teruaki Ishii, professor of Geology of the University of Tokyo. He determined that the dive under the water terraces happened at the end of the last ice age - about 10,000 years ago. In this case, the age of the pyramids Yonaguni twice Egyptian pyramids. What's interesting is the number of artifacts found was about the same on land and under water. Near the pyramids was found carved stone head of a man, which was carved set of unknown characters. 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 Gods, called Nir channel live there the ancient gods - is unknown faraway place is a source of happiness for the whole world"



The opposite view is held by Robert Schoch - mathematics professor at Boston University. He believed that the Yonaguni pyramid formed naturally - so tried to nature. According to him - it is a natural tectonic activity, as exemplified by the photo below, where a similar formation on land, created by nature. There is also the possibility that the monument was formed naturally, but then was treated people. Schoch such thinking before meeting with Kimura. Kimura's arguments are more familiar with the features of the monument, have strongly influenced the opinion Shocha. Especially because the arguments were supported by photographs of details that Schoch at their dives just have not seen since the sinking only a few times.



While there are similarities rocks Yonaguni, among them there are very strong differences. In a limited area of ​​the Monument quite close to each other elements are completely different types. 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 the same form throughout the piece of rock. The fact is that side by side there are so many different elements, is a strong argument in favor of their artificial origin. Here is an example of one of these entities under Nathaniel Turtle.



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



Moreover, very close, just a few meters on the same rock of the same breed, - radically different landscape. The fact that it was created by nature, bessomnenno. But even the naked eye can see his sharp contrast to the treated portion of the rock



The meeting of two professional geologists had to Yonaguni monument literally epoch-making significance. If the earlier version Schoch adhered natural nature object, Kimura insisted on completely artificial its origin. As a result, taking into account all available evidence, both expert agreed on a kind of "compromise", together abandoning the extreme points of view. They came to the conclusion that the monument belongs to the so-called "terra-groups" - that is, the original natural "blank" was further modified and refined by human hands. Such formations are not uncommon, they were very common in the ancient world ...

"After meeting with Professor Kimura - wrote later Schoch, - I can not completely exclude the possibility that the Yonaguni Monument, at least partially processed and altered by human hands. Professor Kimura pointed out a number of important elements that I saw during my first brief visit ... ».



However, Yonaguni monument was not recognized by the Japanese government an object of cultural heritage, which is necessary to protect and preserve, although the existence of stone processing fishery on the island proved. Proof of this are the ancient catacombs of indeterminate age
