[@jessica_in_japan]

After a bit of research in Japanese, it is very clear that experts in Japan agree that Yonaguni is a natural rock formation, not manmade. The official name of the site has even changed from the Yonaguni Monument or Yonaguni Underwater Ruins (named when it was still thought to be manmade) to the Yonaguni Submarine Topography (or Underwater Rock Formation, depending on how you want to translate it). According to the Ryukyu University Seismology Lab, it was formed by coastal erosion, with waves eating away at the sandstone until the natural cracks in the rock broke away in chunks leaving the right angles and straight edges. They say that if the rock was malleable enough to be shaped by humans thousands of years ago, the angles and straight edges would have been eroded naturally by the waves since then and worn down into gentle curves. And if it was hard enough to withstand thousands of years of wave erosion without wearing done and cracking, it would have also been impossible for humans to have created it.

[@pk-ph5qt]

I don't think the steps, animal and religious carvings are done by the ocean.

[@pk-ph5qt]

I had to double check and relook at the images, it's definitely man made. I think "they" want us to believe in your pov because it does not fit into their narrative which is being slowly chipped away by new discoveries.

[@jessica_in_japan]

@@pk-ph5qt None of those are verified. They were "identified" by one man who thought that's what they looked like. His team was not specialized in archeology or geology and he has not submitted any detailed data or papers to be peer-reviewed, so he is largely discredited by the scientific community. Countless experts in the related fields have reported that evidence that it was manmade is insubstantial.

The tunnel sounds like a backup for them to go to and hide all their treasures in the event of an attack. The "screaming" mummy is a natural phenomenon when you die. The muscles of your jaw relax and fall down. When you see people at funerals, they've had their jaws closed and secured shut manually to look more peaceful

My parents are Zapotec from a rural village deep in the jungles of Southern Mexico. We have a bunch of sealed caves we don't announce out of respect. These tunnels and caves were created to escape Spanish genocides and mass rapes. We know why they exist and just try to ignore it.

So did you guys dug them to escape the Spanish or were they built for graves and burial sites. Yes your comment doesn’t makes sense when you said to escape the Spanish genocides and mass rapes, like how can they indoctrinate if they commit mass murder and rape? I bet you speak Spanish don’t you, then also you must be catholic Christian? Right. Then if they knew Spanish were coming why were they digging instead of running. I bet they are all still there in the mountains living. I understand there might be ancient Zapotec burial sites but when you come with the myth of Spanish genocides and mass rapes am like ummm I need more proof other than fictitious myths.

[@craigsurette3438]

One working hypothesis for the reason the children were green is tied into another of their quirks, that the children would only eat Fava beans. Fava beans contain compounds , that in large dosages, can cause all sorts of health conditions lumped under the name "Favaism" One of the more prominent ones is acute jaundice, making their skin look yellowish green.

Teotihuscan is much more massive and important than is presented here. The metropolis was home to over 2 million people, extending for tens of miles around the ciity center proper. Early explorers looted hundreds of thousands of pounds of copper, bronze, and silver alloy items. Later, the city was mined as a rich source of mica, a well known insulator used in electronics.

[@roosjen]

The Yanaguni ‘monument’ has been disputed since the day it was discovered. The ‘ruins’ are geological formations that only somewhat resemble actual buildings and infrastructure. Several ‘stairs’ or ‘roads’ are way too uneven to function and they resemble these things at only the most cursory glance. Also, a tsunami alone won’t sink a city, and I think I learned that there had not been significant enough seismic activity there to drop the land below sea level either. Perhaps worthwhile, are a clip from a freediver who visited the site and posted clips of his dive on KZbin. That must’ve been at least 5-6 years ago though, no clue who it was or if it’s still up, sorry. Btw, there is a similar structure like the Yanaguni ‘monument’ in the Baltic Sea, roughly off the coast of one of the Baltic states, I believe, which looks like a crashed spaceship. Similarly not real, but geological in origin, but cool to see.

[@roosjen]

Here is a link to a History Channel documentary about it, so it’s heavily dramatized and doesn’t answer anything for real, but the sonar images are clear enough to show the structure wasn’t built… kzbin.info/www/bejne/f565aZlmpbSijrM

[@bryanergau6682]

Yeah, that Baltic Sea one looks a lot like the Millenium Falcon, which might also explain Bigfoot.

[@Someaddress555s]

If it doesn't have parts that look like stair cases then it isn't similar, or you and I have very different definitions of similar.

[@pokeryea]

[@Willy_Tepes]

Stairs always have evenly spaced steps. If they don't it is not man made.

Honestly, the lost city of Paititi probably has a legitimate connection to the more or less uncontacted tribes that live on both sides of Peru-Brazil border area of the Amazon.

[@terryenby2304]

My thinking too! Perhaps there is a human reason nobody is getting back! Not only was the jungle specifically chosen to keep themselves safe from the Spanish, but they probably have defences and patrols set up to keep it that way. Given the way indigenous people are treated I don’t blame them!!

[@marthahawkinson-michau9611]

@@terryenby2304 Some of the “uncontacted” tribes are actively hostile to the outside world. This would make complete sense if their last meaningful encounter with westerners was Spanish colonial soldiers.

[@FoxSullivan]

Judging by some documentaries I've seen on how isolated that region is, it's honestly perfectly understandable that the city has not been discovered yet, if it does exist; and why people have not returned. That whole area is an inhospitable mess of jungle, rain, and so on. I'm still baffled at the fact that people insist on trying to live there. I am not saying this in a demeaning way; it's just insane to me that people try and stick living in such harsh environments, whilst also trying to merge that lifestyle with modern ways of living.

[@marthahawkinson-michau9611]

@@FoxSullivan The uncontacted tribes that live there have Stone Age cultures still.

[@terryenby2304]

@@marthahawkinson-michau9611 i think that’s unfair. They have developed at the same speed as any other human culture, but their priorities and technology match their local area. I love modern medicine, and other parts of our world, but I can’t help but wonder if we would be happier living in an extreme environment with less technology. Our lives may be shorter, but they could also be a lot more joyful and less stressful. Besides, many of our drugs are developed from plants and animal venoms/poisons. So it is conceivable that if they are still living in the depths of the jungle, they may have medication that works for them, and other techniques to create happier, safer lives for themselves. And they may well slowly have evolved more genetic adaptions too. Nothing huge, but enough.

[@abaddon1371]

First thing that came to mind, learning that Pentawer was buried in animal hides, was suffocation by gradually watering the hides, so they would shrink tighter and tighter around his chest. That would make the "scream" more of a gasping for air.

[@trishapellis]

Referring to the "agonizing pain" of the Egyptian mummy as if the way they were found has anything to do with how they lived. The mouths of corpses just fall open unless they're intentionally closed. Nowadays in the US this is done by threading metal wire through the gums. In other cultures they would tie strips of fabric around the head keeping the jaw closed etc. There's a lot of screaming mummies in the world. This particular person, whoever they were, obviously did not receive the full Egyptian burial treatment after death, since their organs were still intact and such. It stands to reason that whoever wrapped them in that sheepskin also didn't take the time to tie their jaw closed. After all, if the expression on a deceased's face when we find them after several thousand years were to reflect the pain they were in when they died, Tutankhamun himself would have been screaming.

[@C.Y.123]

Tutankhamun die from blunt-force trauma to the Head. He wouldn't have had time to make a face

[@trishapellis]

@@C.Y.123 That was a theory from 1968. The bone fragments found in the skull were later determined to have been caused by the unwrapping of the skull in modern times. Tutankhamun had been infected with the worst strain of malaria several times, possibly had several genetic defects, and most importantly, had a bad leg fracture which had not healed in the slightest when he died - he most likely died from infection in that wound, possibly compounded with weakness from the other problems he had. Another theory is that it was sickle cell anemia. But the blunt force trauma to the head has been completely disproven, and all the other options would have been more than painful enough.

The Tiye mentioned married to Rameses III is a completely different woman.

12:01 - those petroglyphs might have been those we saw on a weeks expedition into Manu national park in 1992. They were on a long cliff wall, 3-4 meters high and maybe 20 meters long, too vertical to be much overgrown. The park (which is huge, I think half the size of my country) was normally closed to the public. We needed special permission for the expedition.

How do find these subjects

While a skeptic, concerning most of these "theories," myself I must say that I find it disheartening that most other skeptics look at ancient beliefs that can be summarized as "Hey, see those stars up there? Yeah - people came down from up there, and they taught us stuff." Being skeptical is the sign of a healthy mind. Absently dismissing a culturally universal story as "eh ancient people were a bit stupid and obsessed with the sky" isn't. We do not even have any real reasons that we find this idea as bunk by default. We simply don't like the answer. We accept numerous other primary sources as fact, but those sources that claim they saw/interacted with people from the sky to be idiots, druggies, or liars. We treat history in very interesting ways.

Many years ago around the time of Atlantis I think most of North America was covered in ice about two miles think. When a meteorite crashed into the earth it melted lots of the ice. Hence this raised the sea level around the globe. Hence there may be ruins of cities under water.

And people still put effort into inventing aliens and Atlantis when all this real actual mystery exists out there.

I mean, life on other planets almost certainly exists

[@proto-geek248]

And they've most certainly never come to Earth.

I think it's fairly obvious that they blocked it off due to the toxic effects of the Mercury...

[@dinsdalemontypiranha4349]

As far as Yonaguni, OK. Maybe it's a natural formation, maybe it's manmade, except... What about the carvings. Are these really there or is this just something invented?

[@proto-geek248]

There's no maybe. It's natural.

[@delmccormack7001]

Lidar. If they used lidar they could see through the jungle and read the terrain.
