Yonaguni Monument - Manmade ancient Rock underwater
The Yonaguni Monument is a massive underwater rock formation off the coast of Yonaguni, the southernmost of the Ryukyu Islands, in Japan, 110 km east of Taiwan.
The rock was discovered by Diver Kihachiro Aratake. There is a debate about whether the site is completely natural, is a natural site that has been modified, or is a manmade artifact.
In 1987, while looking for a good place to observe the sharks, Kihachiro Aratake, a director of the Yonaguni-Cho Tourism Association, noticed some singular seabed formations resembling architectonic structures.[3] Shortly thereafter, a group of scientists directed by Masaaki Kimura of the University of the Ryūkyūs visited the formations. Kimura is a strong advocate of the view that the formations are artificial.
Supporters of artificial origin argue that, while many of the features seen at Yonaguni are also seen in natural sandstone formations throughout the world, the concentration of so many peculiar formations in such a small area is highly unlikely. They also point to the relative absence of loose blocks on the flat areas of the formation, which would be expected if they were formed solely by natural erosion and fracturing.
If any part of the Monument was deliberately constructed or modified, that must have happened during the last Ice Age, when the sea level was much lower than it is today (e.g. 39 m (130 ft) lower around 10,000 years BCE).

21 SURREAL Strange Places To See In Japan
FROM Mysterious Deep Sea Locations; to Giant Statues and Temples; These are 21 SURREAL Strange Places To See in Japan !
HEY YOU ! There are more awesome videos being made every week, like and subscribe to World Unearthed so you don't miss a beat !
8. Mount Koya
The first to settle on Mount Koya was a monk in the year 819. Over time, it became the headquarters for the Koyasan Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism. On the mountain, you’ll find a plethora of notable locations, including the Okunoin mausoleum, as seen here, and the Kongobu-ji--a major Koyason Shingon temple. Mount Koya has a long and deeply spiritual history as well as a lot of picturesque views. Many people love coming here during the winter when the whole settlement gets covered in snow.
7. Ueno Park
In the Ueno district of Tokyo, we find Ueno Park, an enormously popular public park in the country’s capital city where some of the best sights for cherry blossom trees can be marveled at. The park takes in over 10 million visitors every year. Established back in 1873, the park now features nearly 9,000 trees, such as at least 3 types of cherry trees. Major museums located at the park also help bring in the many visitors it does, like the Tokyo National Museum and the National Museum of Nature and Science. Not only does it attract humans, but a myriad of birds take to Ueno Park for their wintering ground.
6. Itsukushima Shrine
A most magical sight awaits anyone who comes across the Shinto Shrine’s floating gates along the the island of Itsukushima’s coast. The actual Itsukushima Shrine has been destroyed many times over the years, with a history that started in the 6th century. The shrine of the modern day was first designed and built in 1168. The gate on the bay is a favorite landmark, which only looks like it gloats on the water during high tide. You’ll have to wait until low tide to be able to walk to it without getting wet.
5. The Yonaguni Monument
The sear near the coast of Yonaguni already rose to prominence as a favorite diving spot well before the discovery of the Yonaguni Monument. The mysterious geometrical landmark was discovered by the director of the area’s tourism association as he was trying to find a nice place to just watch hammerhead sharks swim by. The discovery was made in 1987 and since then, the pyramid-like structure has baffled historians as to how it got there. A collection of stone structures have been found here, with no one knowing where they came from.
4. Aoiike
In one season, the Blue Pond or Aoiike in Hokkaido might look more blue in the next season. And it also depends on the wind. Sometimes, the pond may look like a flat mirror against the sky--while at other times, it may flow this iridescent blue. This man-made pond is located in Biei and was created so that the nearby town could be protected from harmful volcanic mudflow. It gets so blue sometimes that it almost doesn’t even look real. To explain why it gets so vibrant, speculation says that the blue comes from the colloidal aluminum hydroxide. Once, the pond even turned brown from a drop in the water, mixing it with more sand and mud.
3. The Hakkoda Mountains
More volcanoes. Just south of the city of Aomori sit the volcanic mountain range known as the Hakkoda Mountains that dates back to the Pleistocene era. The highest peak, Mount Odake, takes about four or so hours to climb. But one of the best things to see here can be experienced during the winters when the trees get submerged in snow, making strange standing shapes along the mountainside that look like figures rising from the mountains, bending and life-like. You can also find high altitude wetlands such as Tamo, Kenashi, and Suiren Lake.
2. Fushimi Inari Shrine
Within this head shrine dedicated to the god Inari is also associated with 32,000 other sub shrines scattered across the country. The Fushimi Inari Taisha, located in the Fushimi Ward in Kyoto, was built at the base of thea mountain. Its earliest structures date back to the 8th century, ThIn the mythology, foxes, or kitsune, are considered messengers, and a handful of fox sculptures can be seen all over Fushimi Inari. During the Japanese new year, millions of people arrive to worship at this shrine.
1.Hitachi Seaside Park
While most people come here for the baby blue eyes flower field that bloom on Miharashi Hill throughout the year, one of the oddest yet beautiful things you can also see include a field of Bassia scoparia that turns a bright magenta during the autumn season and only get redder as the climate gets colder. The Hitachi Seaside Park, in Hitachinaka, requires you to enter through the Hitachinaka Nature Forest before you get to the flowered hills.
DISCOVERY OF CHINESE RELICS IN KOREA / KBS뉴스(News)
[Anchor Lead]
Some 400 pieces of relics of China's Southern Song Dynasty have been discovered in waters off Korea's southern Jejudo Island. Among the find is a seal and seal case used by Chinese merchants of that period, marking the first such discovery in Korea. The Cultural Heritage Administration believes a Chinese merchant vessel was shipwrecked in this area, serving as evidence to maritime exchanges held between Korea, China and Japan in those days.
[Pkg]
Waters off western Jejudo Island. As the sand is sucked out of the seabed, broken pottery pieces are revealed. An underwater excavation was carried out for 3 months since April and loads of earthenware fragments were found across a 300 square meter site. They are believed to date back to China's Southern Song Dynasty era. The Cultural Heritage Administration suspects a Chinese merchant vessel passing by Jeju-do on its way to Japan in the 12th or 13th century sunk in this area.
[Soundbite] LEE GWI-YOUNG(DIRECTOR-GENERAL, CHA) : Southern Song era earthenware of the same pattern has been found in Korea as well as Japan. This proves trade existed between Southern Song, Goryeo and Japan.
A seal which Chinese merchants likely used in correspondence and packaging has also been found. It still had bits of red ink intact. There were also pieces of a seal case. Experts believe if seals of a similar design can also be located in China and Japan, that can help shed light on the identity of the sunken vessel. Underwater relics near Jeju-do's Sinchang-ri area were first reported to authorities in 1983 when a local female diver found a golden accessory. Last year, around 500 pieces of Southern Song era pottery were also discovered. The Cultural Heritage Administration believes there is more to be found in the waters in this area. Additional search and survey operations are being planned for next year.

9. Çatalhöyük, Turkey
Built in what was once Mesopotamia, the city of Çatalhöyük, which now resides in Turkey, is easily one of the biggest mysteries of the ancient world. I mean reaaaallly ancient, it reached its heyday around 7000 BC!! This place makes ancient Rome look modern!! These tightly clustered mudbrick houses kind of look like honeycombs, don’t you think?
8. Palenque, Mexico
Mexico is a land of many mysteries and lost people and cities. But easily the biggest civilization, with the biggest mystery surrounding them, are the Mayans. This tribe came from an unknown area, arrived in Mexico, and set up an empire that lasted over 3000 years. Then they were gone. To this day, many still study the Mayans in order to find out more about them, and especially what happened to them.
7. Cahokia, United States
This one might come as a surprise. In the United States, there is an old city that used to be the biggest city in North America at one point in time. This was the city of Cahokia, a pre-Columbian Native American City. It was founded around the year 600 and lasted until the 14th century. You can still go there today, it's across from St. Louis on the other side of the Mississippi river.
6. Derinkuyu, Turkey
Turkey is home to another ancient, fascinating and mysterious place: Derinkuyu. The concept of making underground cities may seem like something from fantasy television shows, or Fraggle Rock, but many cultures have made very grand underground cities.
5. Yonaguni Monument, Japan
Off of the coast of Japan, there is a place called Yonaguni Island which was famous for hammerhead sharks. Now, people are more intrigued by some unnerving formations in the water that were found by a diver in 1987. The Yonaguni Monument is a series of rock formations that has the scientific world split as to whether this is a natural design, or something made by humans. And it's a debate that continues on to this day.
4. Machu Picchu, Peru
Machu Picchu is arguably one of the most interesting and revealing places in the world. Why? Because it's through this city that we got to take a look inside the Incan Empire. This civilization ruled a lot of South America for quite some time, and their territory included Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, and more. And yet, for a while, we didn't know that much about them, until we found Machu Picchu.
3. Thonis, Egypt
If you're big into history, then you knew that it was only a matter of time before Egypt showed up on my list. And as you know, it is home to many ruins and mysteries, and the main topic of several videos on this channel!! Be sure to check them out when you finish this video!!
2. Great Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe
Sticking with Africa, let's head to Zimbabwe, which holds one of the biggest mysteries of the continent. It's called... Great Zimbabwe. Yeah, doesn't really sound mysterious, does it? But don't let that fool you, there's more to this than you might think.
1. Pompeii, Italy
There are many scary stories in history, but the story of Pompeii is one that we just can’t get over. This is the city that was built in the fertile valley near a volcano, Mt. Vesuvius. When it erupted, it caught people by surprise and buried the city in soot and ash and left it covered and perfectly preserved for hundreds of years. Now much of it has been uncovered and it is a sad historical marvel and many people were frozen in time forever.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Ryukyu Islands (琉球諸島, Ryūkyū-shotō), also known as the Nansei Islands (南西諸島, Nansei-shotō, lit. Southwest Islands) or the Ryukyu Arc (琉球弧, Ryūkyū-ko), are a chain of Japanese islands that stretch southwest from Kyushu to Taiwan: the Ōsumi, Tokara, Amami, Okinawa, and Sakishima Islands (further divided into the Miyako and Yaeyama Islands), with Yonaguni the westernmost. The larger are mostly high islands and the smaller mostly coral. The largest is Okinawa Island.
The climate of the islands ranges from humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa) in the north to tropical rainforest climate (Köppen climate classification Af) in the south. Precipitation is very high, and is affected by the rainy season and typhoons. Except the outlying Daitō Islands, the island chain has two major geologic boundaries, the Tokara Strait between the Tokara and Amami Islands, and the Kerama Gap between the Okinawa and Miyako Islands. The islands beyond the Tokara Strait are characterized by their coral reefs.
The Ōsumi and Tokara Islands, the northernmost of the islands, fall under the cultural sphere of the Kyushu region of Japan; the people are ethnically Japanese and speak a variation of the Kagoshima dialect of Japanese. The Amami, Okinawa, Miyako, and Yaeyama Islands have a native population collectively called the Ryukyuan people, named for the former Ryukyu Kingdom that ruled them. The varied Ryukyuan languages are traditionally spoken on these islands, and the major islands have their own distinct languages. In modern times, the Japanese language is the primary language of the islands, with the Okinawan Japanese dialect prevalently spoken. The outlying Daitō Islands were uninhabited until the Meiji period, when their development was started mainly by people from the Izu Islands south of Tokyo, with the people there speaking the Hachijō language.
Administratively, the islands are divided into Kagoshima Prefecture (specifically the islands administered by Kagoshima District, Kumage Subprefecture/District, and Ōshima Subprefecture/District) in the north and Okinawa Prefecture in the south, with the divide between the Amami and Okinawa Islands, with the Daitō Islands part of Okinawa Prefecture. The northern (Kagoshima) islands are collectively called the Satsunan Islands, while the southern part of the chain (Okinawa Prefecture) are called the Ryukyu Islands in Chinese.

Human history certainly holds its fair share of mysteries. Not all ancient civilisations were attentive bureaucrats like the Ancient Romans – the people of ancient Rome were excellent at documentation, so we know a huge amount about them, their society, and their traditions. Unfortunately for historians, the story of certain societies, and their creations will always remain shrouded in an intriguing mystery, with no concrete answers in sight.
A perfect example is the infamous Voynich Manuscript. The Voynich Manuscript supposedly originated in Italy. Carbon dating has put the handwritten manuscript around the early 1400s. For years, the nature of the Voynich Manuscript has puzzled all those who have come into contact with it. Why? The entire manuscript is written in a coded language, completely unlike any other language or form of writing that exists. No cryptographer has ever been able to decipher the code written in the book. Historians even enlisted the help of some expert code crackers, who worked during WWII, but none have ever had any luck. The manuscript itself is a few hundred pages, and most pages even include diagrams of strange plants that don’t resemble any living species. Although many historians and cryptographers have suggested, that the book could be nonsense, many maintain that the care, and attention the unknown author must have put in during the manuscript’s production suggests otherwise. It begs the question: why would someone spend hours and hours, (plus a lot of money – manuscripts were incredibly expensive items in the 15th century), producing something of no value to anyone?
However, the number of mysterious monuments, and places that left traces still visible today greatly outweigh the number of entirely mysterious artefacts that have been discovered. Some of the monuments left behind by ancient peoples are so strange, and so well constructed, that they have left historians mystified. Aside from monuments, certain places on earth have an inescapable air of mystery about them, that remains unexplained to this day. If you’re a bit of a conspiracy theorist and you’re looking for a new adventure, the following 8 locations could provide you with endlessly compelling mystery.

During the Industrial Revolution, from the late eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century, rural people moved from the country to the cities for employment in manufacturing industry, thus causing the urban population boom. However, subsequent economic change left many cities economically vulnerable. Studies posit that areas suffering industrial decline—high unemployment, poverty, and a decaying physical environment (sometimes including contaminated land and obsolete infrastructure)—prove highly resistant to improvement.
Changes in means of transport, from the public to the private—specifically, the private motor car—eliminated some of the cities' public transport service advantages, e.g., fixed-route buses and trains. In particular, at the end of World War II, many political decisions favored suburban development and encouraged suburbanization, by drawing city taxes from the cities to build new infrastructure for towns.
The manufacturing sector has been a base for the prosperity of major cities. When the industries have relocated outside of cities, some have experienced population loss with associated urban decay, and even riots. Cut backs on police and fire services may result, while lobbying for government funded housing may increase. Increased city taxes encourage residents to move out.
Rent controls are often enacted due to public pressure and complaints regarding the cost of living. Proponents of rent controls argue that rent controls combat inflation, stabilize the economic characteristics of a city's population, prevent rent gouging, and improve the quality of housing.[8] Capitalist economists have documented that rent control affects the supply and demand relationship in housing markets which can contribute to urban blight and does not provide the benefits its proponents advocate.[9] Rent control contributes to urban blight by reducing new construction and investment in housing and deincentivizing maintenance. If a landlord's costs to perform maintenance consume too large a proportion of profit, that is revenue minus costs, from rent, the landlord will feel pressure to drastically reduce or eliminate maintenance entirely.
Urban decay in the United States: Presidents Jimmy Carter (5 October 1976) and Ronald Reagan (5 August 1980) campaigned before this ruin on Charlotte Street in the South Bronx, New York City.
Much of the city of Camden, New Jersey suffers from urban decay.

Historically in the United States, the white middle class gradually left the cities for suburban areas due to African-American migration north toward cities after World War I
Some historians differentiate between the first Great Migration (1910–1930), numbering about 1.6 million Black migrants who left mostly Southern rural areas to migrate to northern and midwestern industrial cities, and, after a lull during the Great Depression, a Second Great Migration (1940–1970), in which 5 million or more African-Americans moved, including many to California and various western cities.
Between 1910 and 1970, Blacks moved from 14 states of the South, especially Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas to the other three cultural (and census-designated) regions of the United States. More townspeople with urban skills moved during the second migration. By the end of the Second Great Migration, African Americans had become an urbanized population. More than 80 percent lived in cities. A majority of 53 percent remained in the South, while 40 percent lived in the North and 7 percent in the West.
From the 1930s until 1977, African-Americans seeking borrowed capital for housing and businesses were discriminated against via the federal-government–legislated discriminatory lending practices for the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) via redlining. In 1977, the US Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act, designed to encourage commercial banks and savings associations to help meet the needs of borrowers in all segments of their communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
Later urban centers were drained further through the advent of mass car ownership, the marketing of suburbia as a location to move to, and the building of the Interstate Highway System. In North America this shift manifested itself in strip malls, suburban retail and employment centers, and very low-density housing estates. Large areas of many northern cities in the United States experienced population decreases and a degradation of urban areas.
Inner-city property values declined and economically disadvantaged populations moved in. In the U.S., the new inner-city poor were often African-Americans that migrated from the South in the 1920s and 1930s. As they moved into traditional white neighborhoods, ethnic frictions served to accelerate flight to the suburbs.
