History's Mysteries - Japan's Mysterious Pyramids (History Channel Documentary)
Narrated by David Ackroyd
Archaeologists have long believed that civilization as we define it--intelligent, tool-making, monument building, social humans--began about 5,000 years ago. But submerged beneath the waves near the Japanese island of Yonaguni is evidence that may well overturn that long-held theory.
A small but persuasive number of scholars and scientists have long thought that advanced societies may have existed as long as 10,000 years ago.
Their theories, however well reasoned and defended, have been hamstrung by a lack of evidence. But recent discoveries of man-made artifacts on the Pacific seafloor may well prove to be the smoking gun that will propel this alternative view of civilization to prominence.
HISTORY'S MYSTERIES travels to the site and plunges beneath the waves to examine the discovery, and talks to the investigators who are trying to unearth the secrets of Japan's Mysterious Pyramids

info from:
The Yonaguni Monument (与那国島海底地形 Yonaguni-jima Kaitei Chikei?, lit. Yonaguni Island Submarine Topography) is an underwater structure off the coast of Yonaguni, the southernmost of the Ryukyu Islands, in Japan. There is a debate about whether the site is completely natural, is a natural site that has been modified, or is a man-made artifact.[1][2] For these reasons, the site is also known in Japanese as the Yonaguni (Island) Submarine Ruins (与那国（島）海底遺跡 Yonaguni(-jima) Kaitei Iseki?).
Freediving Yonaguni Pyramid | Aliens or Lost Civilization? | Yonaguni Monument
Yonaguni Monument. Pyramid? Lost City? Lost Civilization? Natural? Work of Aliens? The Island of Yonaguni is full of mystery. Lets go underwater to freedivie the Yonaguni Monument.
I first heard about the Yonaguni monument about 6 months back, it fascinated me, and i dreamed to be able to freedive it one day. It's on one of the most remote islands in Japan. There is only a small town, there is almost no people in the street, and only a few shops selling basic items..
From where I am based in Taiwan, its very difficult to get to yonaguni, without going going in a big circle of connecting flights and boat trips. However, by chance, I heard of a one off charter flight being offered, which had some seats open for sale - however I already had other plans for a diving trip to Green Island.... but after some thought, I cancelled my Green Island trip, and reserved a seat on the charter flight. I had to bear all the cancellation costs for my Green Island trip, so it wasn't an easy choice - but this charter flight was an almost once in a life time opportunity so I took it. Despite having just started at a new company, I managed to get some days off work..
Before and during the trip I had cold and fever, which made diving almost impossible - however I managed to do it. To make matters worse, the dive company only gave us 40 mins time at the dive site, which means I had to rush to see the whole monument - no time for breathing-up or relaxing... long swims followed by diving immediately.
Due to the short time at the dive site, the following day we paid a charter boat to give us 1 hour on the dive site. To my horror, right after jumping into the water, my GoPro dive housing flooded with water, and the camera was dead within 30 seconds of my getting in the water... the result is I have no videos from my 2nd dive.
This video is dedicated to all my subscribes on youtube for being so supportive over the past year - without all the positive feedback I have gotten from my subscribes I might not have made the effort to go to Yonaguni and film this dive.
Whether the Yonaguni monument was made by aliens, a lost civilization or it is a natural phenomenon, I just don't know. Nobody knows. Watch the video and decide for yourselves.
This video was also not cheap to produce - It costed me somewhere in between $2000-$3000 US dollars to make - so your support by liking my videos and subscribing is much appreciated.

Yonaguni Jima ruins
Do undersea relics near Okinawa offer proof of a sophisticated civilization during the last ice age? Archeologists have long believed that civilization as we define it--intelligent, tool-making, monument building, social humans--began about 5,000 years ago. But submerged beneath the waves near the Japanese island of Yonaguni is evidence that may well overturn that long-held theory. A small but persuasive number of scholars and scientists have long thought that advanced societies may have existed as long as 10,000 years ago. Their theories, however well reasoned and defended, have been hamstrung by a lack of evidence. But recent discoveries of man-made artifacts on the Pacific seafloor may well prove to be the smoking gun that will propel this alternative view of civilization to prominence. This past weekend, after drinking a 6-pack of Orion, the local Japanese beer, Dr Terpstra proclaimed Wow, whoever built that thing had a lot of damn time on their hands! And then he tried to commit an act of violence on his dive buddy Steve for kicking the camera during the film session.

183B+177 トンカラリンの謎 Tonkararin, a mysterious Tunnel in Japan
183+177 Mysterious Tunnel in Japan, Tonkararin
謎のトンネル、トンカラリン（和水町＆安芸津町）
日本の謎です。
トンカラリンの謎です。
ワイフと私は、２０１３年０２月０３日、トンカラリンを見てきました。
新たな発見もいくつかしました。
その報告記＋１７７号です。
なぜトンカラリンが、ここにあるか。
それが最大の謎ですね。
「謎の点と線」の手法で、迫ってみます。
なおあくまでも仮説ですが、私はこう考えます。
（１） トンネルは、古墳とつながっている。
（２） トンネルは、一方の端で、地下室とつながっている。
（１） の部分については、道路工事、および古墳地域の緑地公園化で破壊されている可能性が高い。
（２） の部分については、未発見だが、位置的にみて、神社の下あたりに、大きな部屋があるのではないかと、推察される。
○Mystery of Japan (No. 177)より
Here in Japan we have very strange tunnels and this is the video about the mystery.
They are in Wagomi-cho, Kyusyu Island and Akitsu-cho, Hiroshima, Japan.
What do you think these are? Please watch this video and decide by yourselves.
トンカラリンに異星人がからんでいる証拠を、お見せします。
石組み一つ見ても、それがわかるはずです。
あとの判断はみなさんにお任せするとして、学者の説明も、これまた傑作です。
トンネルをくぐって出ることを、「生から死、死から正への生還」とは？
思わず笑ってしまいました。
私のしていることと、学者のしていることと、どちらが（こじつけ）なのでしょうか。
大切なことは、ご自身で、事実を確かめられることです。
参考になれば、うれしいです。

Yonaguni Island - The landscape
Some footage from Yonaguni Island. In between dives, I took the chance to take a drive around the island and admire the animals and scenery.
Alot of horses freely roam the island. Nobody seems to own, control or bother them. The cows also freely roam the island, however they are working animals. Yonaguni and neighboring Ishigaki are famous for their beef. I had a steak to try it and it wasn't bad at all!
The island doesn't have many people.. they locals are quiet and keep to themselves, and the streets seemed very empty. There aren't many shops and they only sell the most basic items.
Anyway, sit back and relax and enjoy the scenery of yonaguni

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).

1. Yonaguni Pyramids
In the mid 80s, Divers found underwater rock terraces and pyramids off the coast of Yonaguni Jima. Yonaguni Jima is an island that lies near the southern tip of Japan's Ryukyu archipelago, About 75 miles off the eastern coast of Taiwan. At first scientists believed they might be natural formations, but There are quarry marks and some writing on the stones and animal statues that have also been found underwater. Now some experts believe that The structures Could be what is left of the mythical city of Mu, a fabled Pacific civilization rumored to have vanished beneath the waves. Masaki Kimura, a marine geologist from the University of Japan, Has been studying the underwater pyramids for over 15 years. The underwater structures include castle ruins, a triumphal arch, five temples and at least one large stadium, all of which are Connected by roads and water channels and are partly shielded by what could be huge retaining walls. Kimura believes the ruins date back to at least 5,000 years, based on the dates of stalactites found inside underwater caves that he says sank with the city. The theory is that the ancient underwater city Might have been sunk by an earthquake or tsunami around 2,000 years ago. Yonaguni invites tourists and researchers to dive freely around the site.
2. Sunken City of Cuba
In 2001, A company called Advanced Digital Communications (ADC) was working with Fidel Castro's government to explore Cuban waters looking for sunken Spanish ships loaded with treasure. Their Sonar equipment picked up a series of geometrical structures lying on the bottom of the ocean. Here's a computer generated image of the pyramids and other structures found underwater.
The structures and design made it look like there was A gigantic underwater city at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle. The media went crazy claiming that Atlantis had been discovered in Cuba. There are local legends of the Maya and native Yucatecos that tell of an Island inhabited by their ancestors that vanished beneath the waves. If it's true the structures were made by an ancient civilization, they would have been the Most technologically advanced structures on the planet at that time. Scientists estimate that they would have been built about 50,000 years ago which doesn't seem very likely. The numerous structures and cities that have been discovered underwater around the world Lie less than 120 meters (or 395 feet) below sea level, which comes as no surprise since the sea level never fell below this mark during the time Homo sapiens walked the earth. This Cuban city, if we can call it that, is the Only exception since It is submerged over 700 meters (2300 feet) underwater. If the large structures are actually pyramids, 2 of them are Even larger than the pyramids of Giza and Cheops in Egypt. As of yet there is no plausible explanation for the existence of this city and ADC is still trying to investigate the site.
3. Lake Titicaca
Lake Titicaca is Located in the Andes between Bolivia and Peru. It is the largest freshwater lake in South America and was the cradle of Peru's ancient civilizations, including the Inca. Their presence can be seen on Lake Titicaca by the ruins they left behind, including A mysterious underwater temple thought to be between 1,000 and 1,500 years old. In the Incan creation myth, The god Con Tiqui Viracocha emerged from Lake Titicaca. After commanding the sun, moon, and the stars to rise, Viracocha created more human beings from stone. After bringing them to life, Viracocha Commanded them to go and populate the world. The Incas therefore believed that Lake Titicaca was their place of origin, and that upon death, Their spirits would return to this lake. Archeologists located a huge temple in 2000 after following a submerged road (and I'm sure following advice from locals). After 18 days of diving below the clear waters of Titicaca, scientists said they had Discovered a 660-foot long, 160-foot wide temple, a terrace for crops, and a 2,600-foot containing wall along with gold and statues. It is said the lost city was Covered with sediment during a great flood of biblical proportions and local people had passed down the stories of the underwater temple and flood from generation to generation.
