- Yonaguni Monument - Japan's Lost Atlantis
Simply Scuba looks at one of Japans biggest ocean mysteries...
The Yonaguni Monument (与那国島海底地形), also known as "Yonaguni (Island) Submarine Ruins" is a submerged rock formation off the coast of Yonaguni, the southernmost of the Ryukyu Islands, in Japan. It lies approximately a hundred kilometres east of Taiwan.
Marine geologist Masaaki Kimura claims that the formations are man-made stepped monoliths. These claims have been described as pseudoarchaeological. Neither the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs nor the government of Okinawa Prefecture recognises the features as important cultural artefacts and neither government agency has carried out research or preservation work on the site.

Natural phenomena sounds way more crazy than man-made to me...
it is not natural, its a man made by cain empire after he killed his brother abel
you will be amazed at how nature can craft man-made-like structures , go google seach for "Trover Reynisfjara, Iceland - basalt rock" you can see for yourself
@@unholydanger those basalt rocks are very different to the monolith here
@@asinglelettuce598 The point is that nature can and does produce geometric formations that would seem man made to the untrained eye.
@@mnomadvfx And our point is illustrated by the latter part of your statement. Don't assume anyone here is untrained.
If this is an ancient city built when the ocean was lower, I suspect that you can guess where other underwater cities would be by looking for where the mouth of the river would be when the oceans were at the same depth.
You see, that's part of where the debate about whether this is natural or man made comes in. People have investigated similar locations around Japan, and no other such monuments have been found.
Or concrete most of the ancient world used it, just don't tell any archaeologist they don't want to lose their credibility, it's also where most pyramid structures are along ley lines, this one happens to be placed in a vile vortice where devils triangle is located.
@@patrickadams1430 It also intersects a ley line just as the Egyptian pyramids do
It's hard to imagine that it's completely natural. Especially those stairs are intriguing. 01:30
If you have a brain, then you know that natural processes are just some bullshit to exclude blacks
The crazy thing about the turtle and this underwater Atlantis is there is a Japanese Fable about a boy who is taken to the underwater princess's castle to live for a hundred years and he stays so long when he returns all his family are dead. It is creepy that this structure could be as old as the myth
It's very possible this place is the origin of that story. Since knowledge often dissipates overtime, I wonder what the author knew of that place during their days.
浦嶋太郎
Urashima Taro.
Jonah’s whale (fish, actually) and Taro’s turtle may have been submarines...well, that’s one way of looking at it.
Taro and Rip van Winkle also bear resemblance.
instagram @washingtonduquedehayah
The princess and the castle are the same thing, the Ark of Noah. The Ark took decades to build and only those in it, after God closed the door, lived. The turtle like several other things is a symbol of the Ark.
Only a person willfully blind would say it's natural.
Exactly
What a question that is.. It is man made.
The scientists just claim this structure to be a natural phenomenon because it fits in their worldview.
Active brain detected on UA-cam
The Bible, and the mythologies of the pagan empires, all point to the same history. But, the evil elites don't want people knowing actual truth.
@@MonstersNotUnderTheBed "the evil elites" made the technologies you are using to express yourself and searching for truth
imagine you studied for years and then have to defend yourself against thousands of smoothbrains that think they know better because they googled a bit
looking at you daniele and your 60 brainlets
I mean look at it its cool and all but it's just a bunch of rocks the carvings he talks about arent there (in this or in other videos??) And the so called castle and other buildings are just big rocks not buildings like no door no window no anything????
It appears to be an ancient quarry. The ancients were not messing about with their stone work, it is entirely feasible that this was a quarry before the last major sea rise.
I agree, it has the look of huge blocks being hewn for use elsewhere. But they would have had to use a different method than the Egyptians as the series of scalloped would be a give away.
i thought exactly the same, but as i saw other videos it looks too chaotic without a strict structure and yes there are a lot of geological formation with flat surfaces. I do believe there were ancient civilizations which disappeared and we don't know about them but also believe to find them we should follow our known history with different perspectives as we think today.
Which was like 14k years ago when we were just food gathering cave dwellers.....ok
The stone for all the Ryukyu castles had to come from somewhere. And that’s the first thing I though too. You will find squared out stone cuts all over the Ryukyu islands shores
Looks natural. Take a geology course. Seriously. You learn a lot. The layout doesn’t even look practical. The Earth makes weirder stuff naturally. And more geometric than that too.
"Japan's lost Atlantis" is a bit of a stretch. Ask anyone to look at the 3D models made of Yonaguni and they'll say it looks like a quarry site or an abandoned building site, potentially for a tempel of some sort.
Oh. What was with the whole pool, shopping centre etc. thing then? Just to add intrigue?
We cannot label everything we don't know its use as a temple. C'mon we deserve more than that lazy and also very biased modern view of the ancient world.
It is termed Japan’s Atlantis because it is submerged underwater. What is more of a mystery is how old it really is (it is definetely old considering it had to be made before the sea level rose), how it was made and who made them. Keep in mind that Atlantis according to Plato Atlantis is not just one city but a collection of about 10 cities. I’m no conspiracy theorist so I won’t connect these structures with Plato’s Atlantis but even I can tell this is not just simply just a man made temple that archeologists claim to disregard the weight of its discovery
I think the Atlantis part is just adding mystery on the title. Many people think of a very advanced civilization when they think of Atlantis.
THERE IS NO MYSTERY. This is clearly and undeniably "man made" but it wasn't INTENTIONAL it was INCIDENTAL. This is an ancient stone quarry, basically a custom, made-to-order sandstone store. Just tell them what size sandstone slabs/blocks you need for your project, and they would cut them out and sell them to be carted off and used to build goofy temples or whatever. The debris from the operation is all over the place, and it explains the missing sections (where are they, if it's natural?) I have a much smaller version of a sandstone quarry in my back yard from the 1800's, and that's why I recognized it.The carvings are not relevant to the primary function, people just carved them while screwing around the ol' quarry...before it submerged "only" a few thousand years ago.
So where are the buildings whose stone slabs came from your imagined quarry? They are not anywhere nearby above sea level and none have been found on the sea bed in that area. It isn't good enough to make an interpretation until you have evidence to support it.
Think your right about the quarry that makes sense
Whether Yonaguni is a geological structure or man-made, it is still inspiring! I can't wait to add it to my stories as an ice-age civilization! Keep believing, professor Kimura!
If experts were honest they’d admit that they don’t know squat. The mysteries of our world are likely beyond our comprehension.
Ironically enough, the scientific community is narrow-minded because it's filled with hubris and ego. The broader scientific community has taken the place of the church that hunted them for years for daring to suggest alternative explanations.
"If experts were honest they’d admit that they don’t know squat"
Exactely 👍👍
@@CriticalRoleHighlights Its like anything else big money is attached. Nobody want to be the professor to say "Hey sorry to all you archaeologists that earned degrees in our school, turns out everything we taught you was false." Places like Gobeckli Tepe have done serious damage to mainstream models of human development. It was deliberately buried all at once, and the organic matter left in the fill they used has very solid dating to 11-12,000 years ago. That means we have megalithic builders dating back to the last ice age and at around and probably before the Younger Dryas cataclysm that likely wiped out most of those builders. Also dating the fill they used doesn't tell the real story either because thats just the fill material and you dont just wake up out of 100,000 year slumber and build a site like that, u need tremendous amounts of free time which pushes mainstreams narrative about agriculture and farming back to ice age times and prior. More and more the stories like Plato's advanced ancient civilization at Atlantis are seeming plausible especially if we keep finding advanced architecture under the ocean and dating back to the last ice age.
@@randy7879 From a pure research perspective it is much easier to dig up dry earth than to investigate a site even just 20m under water off the coast of a major city - I think perhaps you are taking this reality a bit too personally, it's just limitations in technology.
If we could create sea bottom structures more easily to excavate sea coast areas we would almost certainly find massive evidence of human settlement along the Doggerland land bridge that was submerged following the melting phase of the last ice age and the subsequent Storegga Slide event which flooded the region.
But as it is with current technology you would have to be extremely certain about where to excavate in order to justify the expenditure to those bankrolling the research - probably it would require some sort of reusable rentable structure to even make it financially viable.
Well said but they still gonna get paid 2 guess lol.
history books need to rewritten.. mesopotamia was NEVER the 1st ancient civilization... in fact archeological digs are showing cities under water which are far superior in size construction and structures which date as far back as 10,000BC. Indus civilization and mesopotamia all are very early civilizations which followed others that remain unnamed and unknown until now! Cuban pyramids have been discovered cities as old as Troy are now emerging from the depths of the ocean in middle east! Our history is written mostly by british standards and we can forgive them for not knowing much when they first published earths history, but now when sop much has been revealed i strongly believe we must update and rewrite the history text books!
So please cite the peer-reviewed journals that document these underwater cities that rewrite the archaeological record. I missed them in my subscriptions to Nature, the Journal of Archaeological Science, and Antiquity. I'm not saying there aren't incredible discoveries to be found, but Archaeology is a multi-disciplinary science that relies on actual evidence. What do core samples of the structure say? XRF and chemical analysis? Why not excavate a portion of it? If it is a civilization where is the material culture? Why not run sonar or use photogrammetry to meticulously document the site?
@@roninworkz These are questions to ask your local "experts" and "authorities" on history.
More importantly, none of that needs to take place to quickly realize the timeline We've been taught is greatly flawed when underwater coastal pyramids are being discovered. Lmao. Especially when they line up quite well with the global coastal submergence around the Younger Dryass period. It's clear they were built before that global submergence.
Of course these underwater discoveries need to be verified, but if We assume them to be real, than it's obviously clear the mainstream narrative We've been spoonfed is absolutely wrong.
The Egyptian historians also have an iron grip on the false timeline that denies Jews were enslaved and had an exodus from Egypt. The gate keepers of knowledge are invested in their Satanic lies.
@@roninworkz peer reviewed? Lol. if someone publishes something outside of the mainstream they are black balled. Look at all the geological evidence and historical evidence pointing to the Sphinx being at least 13,000 years old if not 36,000 years old... Robert Schoch, a PhD geologist, claimed that and they blackballed him. So much of that profession is relying upon grants so no one wants to put their neck out and risk losing future jobs and funding...
@@VwapTrader I like how you don’t trust science but you can believe that there was an ice age, i mean, wtf.
You believe in aliens, highly godlike ancient humans. With no evidence, you just believe, like terrorists, you are a very dangerous sheep.
Its Godzilla House.
Macross
Looking at the structure and the fact it was on dry ground before the end of the last ice age. Seems to be an ancient stone quarry. That's my 2 cents.
I believe the same thing
instagram @washingtonduquedehayah
there are many monolithic cities from around 6k years ago when mankind had tech that we have lost and also were larger and lived longer pre flood
"... depictions of animals, strategically placed holes, and esthetic triangles ...", the narrator says (about 1:45). So why didn't you show us video of these marvelous things?! Probably because it sounds a lot better than it looks. Maybe you're reading in what you want to see in the rocks.
Yeah someone else said it was a temple, not a stadium, shopping centre etc. Still amazing
I’ve looked them up, they are line structures, a little South American tribal like in fact. You can’t say for certain that they’re animals
Exactly, same reason a picture of a pyramid was put on the video. Fantasists, it's a confirmed naturally formed structure.
There is no doubt that it is a product of man, but this man comes from another world with very advanced technology.
I snorkeled over the site. It’s astounding and clearly an artificial construction. I suspect the site is connected to the Anunnaki.
Lmao k bro
@@draxxsklounst6595 Whays funny to you?
@matt its funny that you forgot your medication again
@@suqmadique9762 Aww gonna cry?
It's incredible. So amazing. Wow how beautiful. Imagine living in those times
Ummm with no internet? pass…
There are similar flat layered steps onshore nearby, where it’s clear this is part of a much larger natural geological feature
Where do we thing the square stones came from to build all the Ryukyu castles? Stone cutting has been around in the Ryukyus for a long time and they had to get that stone from somewhere. Possibly when the tides were lower
Your content ideas very informative, entertaining and knowledgeable. GOD BLESS
Species with amnesia . Either forgotten history or catastrophic events where maybe only the young survived . Technology was lost somewhere along the way .
Like Damascus steel and roman concrete
Lemuria was reported to be in the Pacific.
Indian ocean actually
I think the lost continent Mu was supposedly in the Pacific
I saw a similar video of Turtles being used by "giants" in the Bahamas , they must be significant animals by different civilizations
Where are the entrances that surely allow you to go with in
it is such a cool looking structure, It even showed up in the SCUBA diving video game in Endless Ocean. wether natural or man made it could go either way, and could easily be a natural structure that prehistoric people turned into a city.
it has a lot of irregularities but that could also be due to the fact it was eroded by wave action as the sea rose sand stone is very soft. regardless it would be a cool place to check out.
instagram @washingtonduquedehayah
They have to be before the flood, thats 11.800 years ago. So at least 12.000 old.
Wow, it does look man-made! Maybe it was a "temple" of sorts? (If they had something like that then...) It's so interesting to see something so old ... I mean, 6,000 to 10,000 years old?? That's crazy!! Wish we could know what a civilization at that time might've been like...
Next theyre gonna tell us all the 10k+ year old monoliths in the UK are natural. Here's the real question: why are these godless snake oil merchants not jumping at the opportunity to prove the Christian consensus on the human timeline wrong?
Perhaps the globalists are trying to secure complete control of the narrative for their planned alien invasion hoax. Anything to stop Trump. Netflix has been pushing sex with aliens/demons almost as hard as they push homosexual type behavior and Purge type communist murder porn
@@haroldsmith7148 you are right..TIMELINE was DISFIGURED....who transcribed the bible..thats a clue
The stairs look like the spot where heads would get cut off and tossed down. Like from that movie about he Inca's and the Mayans .
Sounds like a bunch of ancient people lost their town lol
Great video. Clearly manmade and clearly at least 10,000 years old, given this had to have been built when sea levels were much lower
Spencer Bastian it reminds me of Australia, the shape of Ayers Rock/Uluru is like a massive sandstone plinth towering out of the ground and this rock reminds me of the same thing. The only difference being the aboriginal people of Australia is their rock is sacred and hasn’t been carved.
I may be wrong but many parts of the Japanese formation look to be one giant rock which has been smoothed and had parts cut away.
I cannot see this place being a natural formation, but then again there’s some kind of wall (?) which is argued about whether it’s natural or man made, but it’s joints are perfect.
Surely it is stone quarry from pre-history before the great flood 12800 years ago.
Jesus. Did you go to the same narration school as the guy from ancient architects? Formula = Start each sentence at a particular pitch and work your way down in pitch throughout the sentence to end at the same lower pitch each time. It's really difficult to listen to when you do it for every sentence. Mix it up a bit. Just a suggestion. Take a note from Graham Hancock whom I'm sure you're aware of if you're making a video about Yonaguni. He has a good style, although he does over enunciate at times in his earlier narrations. Cool topic though.
It may have been carved out by an ancient civilization when ocean levels were lower and before the global flood described in Genesis.
JAW claims it is natural, which surprised me. Looks very deliberate to me
If its natural were are the blocks that fell off to the sea floor
I for one, refuse to... take a side.
It does seem very much manmade, but I am familiar with, and have seen, other landmarks that are known to be completely natural, but look like they could have very easily been built by people. However, Yonaguni is much more "perfect" than any of the other ones (if that makes sense).
So, to me, it really does seem like it could be either one.
If there are really carvings of animals and holes in walls and carvings of triangles, that proves man-made.
DEFINITELY MAN MADE ..WHY ALL THE STAIRCASES IF IT WAS NATURAL FOR ONE?
At 2:26. you nailed it..ANCIENT TRADE ROUTE that ends in now GAZA
Yea...it’s confusing.., where are the rooms and artifacts, etc If it’s human. If it’s geological....how do they do that amazing precise structure
Is the pic of the step-pyramid on the cover of the video fake?
definately a quarry... i wonder if the underwater pyramid is a submarine chamber...
hmm, interesting......could be
Any Ainu tribe Jomon tribe Chinchorro mummies in that underwater Temple. It may be part of Lemuria
This should be the reason why people visit Yunaguni.
It's so clear..
The last time that thing was above water was the Ice Age. So it's about 12000 years since it sank. It's not a building, however, its man made. Could have been a quarry for stone or perhaps a terrace garden or similar.
I believe it to be a rock crop that was used to cut stones to build from.
It's the hyroglyphs that really get me
Probably on old market area from about 10,000 years ago.
Maybe inscription, symbol, ornamen, goods , Will be found later around the monument.
Well we know is man-made if there's carvings in the wall plus also saw a big Olmec head
I really really wish that people would stop calling everything under water "Atlantis". Atlantis is probably sitting inland somewhere
Is this narrated by James Acaster?
I don't think the thumbnail has the picture of the actual monument
The giant engineers will come back. Be prepared, fellows.
Do you speak Japanese?What does Yonaguni mean?Thank you in advance!
@Meexi ,yes,but what's the meaning of the name?
@Meexi ,oh,it's ok,thank you anyway!
It’s nothing more than a quarry and I can’t believe the world cannot see that
I think the meaning of Yonaguny could be very old made in time in world old language.,and perhaps looks like to be.
Maybe the creek was rising and they used this to get to higher ground. Just thoughts.
Why are they automatically calling this an underwater structure? This could be a quarry.
Walter love water ... I go under too... so beautiful

We know nothing about our history only wat we told - this proves that- yrs later it still blows the mind.....
That's Huge.👍
chunk of death star when it was blew up by rebel starfighter...
Looks like a lot of work for something you can just climb on and not enter. all natural 👍🇺🇸
I am assuming you are trying to be sarcastic when you say 'All Natural'?
Cuz its not like we ever found monolithic sites where the organic structures on top have rotted away ...
This is my dream destination in Japan.... I heard beautiful rumors
I'm actually one that believes in ancient civilizations. But I don't see anything here to convince me this is a man made sight.
How about the "Millenium Falcon" in the Baltic.
Did he really just ask if we thought it was natural or man made? How is an advanced civilization not even in question?
do a little research and find images of the rock formations at that location which are not under water. The above water formations are virtually identical to the ones below the surface, and those are completely natural.
finally someone in this commentsection with a brain
Just a foundation for something that could have 100 times taller.
It probably was basement once upon a time.
found a natural formation in the back woods area of my property, it appears to be a "ford mustang", but obviously it was the formation of natural occurrences that took billions of years to get the paint job, the windshield, the wiring, and the stereo just right. Mysteriously, the tires on it match DOT numbers of the modern age, and the vin number registers to my neighbor, but "scientists" believe it to be a coincidence.
I showed this to my dad hes like ”u-huh cool”
It looks like an ancient quarry to me
It's an underwater rock quarry
Once upon a time long ago...
Looks like an ancient quarry
I'm disappointed that Robert Schoch gave this structure a thumbs down
Bud bunny got me here
it looks like rock or marble quarry...
The oceans must have been at least 100 ft lower than they are now , They didn't drain the ocean then build this and then refill the ocean backup...think McFly
So it is where some people lived during the Ice Age then the ice melted and flooded the area.

well i wanted to see Atlantis but it seems its going to take a while until the Americans allow the filming and diving in the waters of Georgia and Florida, and people are affraid to be shot at, at the Bermudas.
The lost kingdom of Yamatai…
man made but not really a ruin as it has no interior. they just cut bricks out of it to use for something maybe. that is why it has these shapes but itself is nothing like a building
all of this video footage, and yet we don' see the pyramid, a stadium, depictions of animals, aesthetic triangles that you said were there :/
Quien después de la canción de badbunny💨💨💨💨😎
It could be a mix of man made a natural
I'm feeling so weird
*Possible man made yet maybe a natural phenomena or disaster sunk this*
Carbon credits?
Interesting how there’s a turtle down there and a few ancient cultures believe the crust of Earth sits on the back of a turtle.
When do you see perfect 90 degree angles in nature?
If it’s man made how do you explain the animal carvings in the rock?
Because it's man made .............
LOL

Nope. Nothing around it would suggest man made.
