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.

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.

@@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

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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 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

"....but nobody knows why..." Think of some of the things you've covered. Think of the crazy collections and how they would look if discovered after being buried for two thousand years. For example, imagine people with undiagnosed conditions that have massively large collections of Disney items. One of these is popped open. There are storage racks, but also some on pedestals. These obviously held great value. In the center of the room, there is a two-meter-tall statue of what appears to be an obscenely muscular man. Its preservation is remarkable and even some of the green paint still remains. There were large runes at the base. We believe it is a name that roughly translates to Hult, Huk, or Holk. Dozens of other similar figures have been uncovered, but this is the largest ever found. We currently believe this domicile belonged to a high priestess. The effigy of the Huk may have been the means to speak to a higher power. Some believe the Huk was a demigod that paid homage to a greater lord who appeared as a massively powerful mouse. ....

Aztec Tunnels : well, any good system of plumbing or pipelines has to have periodic taps so that flow can be shut off to work on the system and adjust pressures and direct flow. You just need to find the control and stone-raising mechanisms. Containers used latterly for containing human hearts, could have had a different purpose when first made, and become gorish hundreds of years later.

How many channels this dude got?

[@dixieboy5689]

Hes got all of them... ! pretty slick for a wanker, eh mate!

[@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.

[@markstott6689]

Simon, how about covering Operation Starvation? It was the US plan to strangle Japanese shipping in 1945. And it worked.

[@TWIXTIMA0]

How many channels does this man have 😂 i ain't complaining tho

[@peter6850]

The second one is more like legend than mystery.

[@muddyhotdog4103]

1:53 I dunno if this was a reconstruction or something, but you can tell that was made having used modern concrete poured into it

[@Roberto-tu5re]

How do find these subjects

[@daddyGfpv]

Pyrite is a rocky mineral and doesn't melt and you cannot plate clay balls with it ...

[@brianmsahin]

Some of the ancient mysteries aren't mysteries. The undersea "city" off Japan turns out to be a quite common natural geological formation quite common in areas where seismic activity is common. The green humans were children of a copper miner.

Nature doesn't make right angles....

[@blakethegreatone2058]

There are no straight lines in nature.

[@archstanton6102]

​@@blakethegreatone2058Not true. That is a Von Daniken quote.

[@jwalster9412]

​@@jdp2571it makes angles that look right when viewed from basically avery angle though.

[@jwalster9412]

Ohh. Copper that explains a lot

[@delmccormack7001]

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

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.

[@gjallarhorn456]

I ha love heard of them, albeit only about 7 months ago 😮

[@SlimothyNate3218]

Imagine what the archeologist whom discovered the box of; what used to contain a pile of sacrificed human hearts thought when he went to work that day 😂

[@ecritdelajaponographie8565]

It's not a place called "Ryukyuss"; "the Ryukyus" are the island chain in question.

[@ecritdelajaponographie8565]

Also, "Yamatai" is a modern Japanese reading of 邪馬台, but that was clearly just a 3rd-century Chinese rendering of "Yamato".

Hey, Queen TiYe, aka the Elder lady mummy should not be shown when you're talking of 1st dynasty events, she belongs to the 18th dynasty, and she was King Tut's grandma.
