Diving Japan's mysterious underwater ruins with Graham Hancock

[@DoubleRainbow27]

Excellent footage, we all appreciate the countless hours and years of your life you dedicate to your studies.

[@chrisbasile]

As a diver, I find the 'turtle' and 'terraces' formations particularly extraordinary. Fascinating, thank you for sharing.

[@logancarroll8329]

Graham is an absolute specimen this guys does it all. He’s probably straight chiseled 😂😂😂

[@ScottJohnCaile]

Watching this video with no prior knowledge; it was doubtless to me that this was manmade. I then saw people were actually arguing against that in the comment section. Crazy.

[@anonymus5966]

Being doubtless is ignorant.

[@M1STYWORLD]

WOW I'm so happy you got to see it in person :) excellent footage Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful place

[@bretthansen3560]

Pyramids in Wisconsin lake is pretty amazing too

[@uvario789]

Wow!! I wish I could see all the amazing structures you have seen. Excellent footage!

[@Bpl541]

Wow!! I mean bery, very interesting and the music, filming and editing top notch. Thankyou 🙏

[@TrickTrades]

Truly incredible

[@BrownBearCity]

This blew my mind people! The actual fact that our history is a cover up, scares me and to think mainstream scholars portray pseudo science as a joke is also very misleading. Fuck this disgusting system we live in. WE cannot move forward if we don't learn from what our previous inhabitants were capable of. Humanity must be this cycle of disasters as greedy humans lurk to the top for the purpose of control. Nice video Graham, you are a modern day legend. Come back to Australia! :)

[@fuzzjunky]

a lot of our history isn't a cover up, quite often it's just bad estimated guesses driven by men with egos

[@josiew47]

I agree totally. Well said!

Thank you for show infantil it good Job.

[@adamoinvolution]

Excellent footage Graham!

[@zencat999]

unless there are definite signs of human habitation, writing, tools, pottery etc, we have to call these natural formations. I have seen things like this in Monterrey calif and Hawaii. basalt can naturally cleave and look like it was carved. natural oceanic currents can drive erosion proses in odd and unusual forms. this is not hard. its nature in rare and beautiful forms. I think nature has surprised us more than once. this is beautiful.

[@likeliker5118]

Im sorry but you are absolutely wrong and an idiot. A terrible skeptic. This is OBVIOUSLY manmade. So sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up little boy.

[@ArnoldvanBruggen]

Hi, For a museum in The Netherlands (Watersnoodmuseum) I'm making a small dreamy sequence on cities and villages, civilisations that went underwater. Could I use and accredit some of your footage ?

[@sathlin]

Would love a 3d render of this in the future. Just to get an idea of what it all used to look like on dry land.

[@wongyc5585]

I understand the sentinents of those who look at these video,the ruins being formed by natural erosion and earthquake are rather unconvincing. Thanks Hancock for the video

[@deathtolife2666]

2:35 if that's a natural structure then I'm the pope

[@JoeQuinn-Sott-net]

Probably only the tops of structures.

[@baronfeydrauthaharkonnen1627]

The Well looks similar to the wells in the Nazca plain.

[@venomguysydney]

100 % natural , have seen this before underwater in formation in Australia

[@2020NTG]

The larger stone circles look more hexagonal to me!

[@rushawnbeecher4069]

Loved it but I wish there was a narration to explain some of the stuff I just watched

[@Ccunningham420]

Great video!

[@thatbluedc5958]

Amazing.

[@sake343]

I am curious if there are any areas (I doubt it since it's underwater) with marks like Nokogiri, Oya Quarry, Longyou Caves or the Shiyan Quarry. If you look at these sites, Yonaguni looks like a quarry similar to the ones I mentioned.

[@redvire7i]

Excellent videos. Thanks Graham. Any recent thoughts on which lost civilization this belongs to? Mu or atlantis perhaps?

[@IainBruce7]

amazing! thank you

[@tonydolton4544]

Strange but so is the giants causeway!!!

[@danielomoore7902]

well living in Ireland I have been many times to the giant causeway as well as to other site of that type in France and Scotland, and this has nothing at all in common with yonaguni is what I clearly see for myself..cheers

[@candui-7]

Basalt columns as seen in the Giant's causeway are commonly found all over the world.

[@Xanaseb]

My guess is that these are an unfinished structures - stopped early on due to the occurrence of a large-scale catastrophe?

[@LisaDawnn]

That is quite fascinating. Between the incredible feats nature performs plus......everything we don't know about our past, it's very hard to ascertain; who did what when and..... why. In my simpleton brain (knowing little about nature's artwork) most of that looks man-made. Or alien-made. Especially the monoliths. But what do I know about 'time + natural elements?' We are so fortunate to have Graham and his wife risk their lives doing what they love then sharing it with the world. Few people do that and I for one am very appreciative. I find myself listening to his lectures or interviews as if I were in kindergarten learning for the very first time. I love his ayahuasca experiences too. Thank you guys!!!

[@gypsyguitars]

Grrreat Music = really completes & compliments the experience of the video ! 'no doubt these were carved by humans in pre-history [before the flood]

[@taylortyler]

Blows my mind that the History Channel's experts concluded 10 years ago that this was likely not man made.

[@kev1734]

"History channel" They slap their logo on something and suddenly people think it's the truth and factual. Boy I'm glad I've learned more and opened my eyes. Thanks to men like graham hancock!

[@Johnnyjawbone]

100% man made. You don't get parallel lines, geometric shapes and symmetrical objects all aligned in the same area in nature: you might get one, but not all three!

[@Johnnyjawbone]

Gore M 0:44 parallel lines extruded and in a uniform pattern, symmetrical, and more than one line 1:31 looks like a circle 2:25 two large uniform megaliths 3:20 again, long uninterrupted lines, raised and extruded in what looks like a step, followed by multiple large steps which look like they could be part of a large building or courtyard, multiple long parallel lines 3:31 to 3:51 do you have a notebook to jot this down? 5:00 looks like a geometric pattern of stone circles I've also read the book and seen more photos. You see no geometric shapes & symmetrical objects though? OK, fair enough. I won't argue about rain not being wet.

[@Johnnyjawbone]

Gore M 3:20 Those 'steps' are massive? I'm describing the shape of them. I don't know what they are, but they definitely are not a natural formation. I'm well aware of The Giant's Causeway. It's a formation of random hexagonal rocks jutting up and random heights on the coast of Ireland. It's nothing like this. 5:00 A stone circle. You're being pedantic now. Six stones encircle a centre stone. A stone circle. Avebury, Stonehenge - stone circles. They're not perfect circles or perfectly arranged, but they definitely are NOT natural. And quit with the lol'ing. What are you, a 12yr old girl? I'm not going to change your mind, and I don't want to. But I disagree with your opinion that these are all natural formations. I'm with Graham Hancock on this. Have you done as much research as him? I very much doubt it.

[@Johnnyjawbone]

Gore M I'm perfectly calm. It's rude to 'lol' when two people are having a normal discussion, as I'm pretty sure you didn't laugh out loud. The stepped structure stands out as something that definitely looks unnatural. I get your points, and you could be right. But I think there is a some degree of probability, even if it is slight, that this is an artificial set of structures. I was reading on Graham Hancock's website about a structure that a team from europe were trying to survey in Indonesia. They estimated the structure could go back possibly further back than the pyramids of Egypt, as they only just started to survey the top of this structure, the rest of it was actually underground. The reason I'm saying this, is that I apply the same logic, if it is indeed the case that it's true, if this structure (in Indonesia) could go back to 15,000yrs for example, then I'm thinking there would be cities/structures/remnants buried all over the world under water. I'm not looking at this as a one off case. I'm trying to weigh everything up in my head. In saying that, you might be right, but I would have to look into it further. You might be also be wrong however! Edit: 3:20 that looks like a straight line. The fish eye camera lense gives the whole image a distorted look. I'd have to see for myself, but it would be nice to see some lidar imaging of it from overhead, to see the un-altered geometry of the site.

[@davidenko2468]

Johnny Jawbone for what the opinion of a random stranger counts for im totally with you i have just finished reading hancocks book supernatural fascinating stuff my partner and i are going to qusco peru next year to try ayahuasca science wont tell us how old we are we were hoping a week in a retreat followed by matchu pitchu may shed some light on this question if i find enlightenment i will be sure to get back to you

[@Johnnyjawbone]

davidenko2468 I hope you find out something useful. What's the point in any of us having a brain if we don't think for ourselves? I think history, true history of the human race/civilisation is barely scratched upon in modern day schools. We don't know anywhere near enough about how everything came to be.

[@thoriumgamers]

3:23 natural? I think not!

[@BlondeManNoName]

That's amazing, there's no way those are natural formations.

[@AIenSmithee]

They are. Check out giants causeway and tessellated pavements. Nature is incredible and that’s why learning the science behind it is so fascinating. If we just relied on what our first impression are based on our limited senses we would assume the world is flat right? It’s not until we use knowledge to expand our understanding that we can see the way things truly are and not just what they look like. I would love to go diving there.

[@tehbublitz]

Amazing!

[@melkovru]

Could someone provide GPS coordinates of these places? Especially Kerama Circles, Chatan Castle, and the Castle of Light?

[@MrSixxshooter]

Awesome !!

[@bretthansen3560]

Lake Michigan had structures too

[@EeRocKK]

I was a bit of a skeptic until these shots came out. That German geologist was incorrect about saying these were naturally made. There's no possible way oceanic currents could do that.

[@causeitsthere]

ohh the turtle? totally natural...ha! obviously this civilization was around during the Atlantis era, before the sea rose due to an asteroid hitting the earth about 11,600 years ago. Thank you Mr. Hancock, your work is not going unnoticed.

[@msswartz3043]

Just saw this video (a lot have happend after this one...). But the shape of one of the stonecomplex is pretty similar to the one recently found in the Baltic sea. That nobody may investigate...

[@yn-uj2ov]

Hey its Clark Ashton Smith's Hyperborea!

[@finaltom5]

Did you see anything that resembled a writing or language, anywhere? TY for sharing

[@fuzzjunky]

these look a bit like the pinnacles here in west australia [the start of video]

[@AshtarAvatar]

Cool!

[@noelwesley4662]

It's partially Man made partially natural. There is is very long tradition of this in Japan as part of Shinto. This can be seen in both the book Underworld: Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age and the TV Series. Look up Heavens Mirror too. Also just look at any book about Shinto ant it's sacred arts.

Graham Hancock if your following the comments section, first of all enjoy the heck out of your intelligence and would dearly love to explore your work. What should I be watching Sir, of your work on youtube.

[@48Ender48]

Say what you want about Yonaguni but those stone circles are strange. Even the geologist Hancock took diving with him couldn't find a natural explanation for them. I can't see how you can get massive stones which are cut straight from the bedrock (It explains this in the doco/book), with outer stones that surround a central one which are curved to match the curve of the middle one. Kinda like this - ( o ) ... No, that's not a boob :P

[@KingpinSuited]

Does this place have a name? Are there any artifacts from the site?

[@mistuhgee]

No one would think this a natural structure if it were not under water.

[@beaver2night]

They were examined by scientists - their conclusion is that it is a natural formation, it is hard to believe for me.

[@jaghatarhortubenlolfyhj6722]

dude its utter fucking bullshit,theres just no fucking way! perfect vertical,and horisontal angles,nature just dosent fucking do that shit!

[@isinche]

Examined by Robert Schoch, that guy has a mainstream view, for him everything is made by nature, the only one thing why he is known is because he has declared that the Sphinx is older than thought cause of the rain traces. Yonaguni is man made, are you fucking blind? Why is it hard to believe? There was an antediluvian civilization which made this, this truth is easy to digest, for poor minded people it is hard to accept.

[@beaver2night]

Anyone know how old these sites would have to be if they are man-made, ie when they were last above sea level?

[@conniesinclair2250]

It says in the information that all structure's would have been above sea level approx 12,000 year's ago..😉

[@cannon420cra]

[@ghoulunathics]

the thing that bothered me about thinking yonaguni monument as a man made structure was that it doesnt resemble anything that i can come up with - not a building, not a monument, anything. but then i thought, what if it was an ancient quarry? the monument looks like it stairs and platforms on it but all of those shapes are too irregular and big to be any use for any size of man, but still there are certainly countless of shapes that definetely look cutted.

[@vehotaiji]

To me, the Yonaguni monument and Pucllana Pyramid looks very alike in the style. If Younaguni is disputed to be natural, Huaca Pucllana is artificial for sure. If they are alike... Yonaguni is also man made

[@Gkin2222]

Why is this information being intentionally suppressed?

[@pdot8659]

Have they tried to scrape a layer off anything looking for texts or writings?

[@gmshawnryu]

[@molacmarius2701]

some of those underwater 'natural' formations appear buried already ... regarding Yonaguni tunnel, i expect monoliths below to be as tall as monoliths above ... can an excavation take place? how expensive? any law barriers? and those ancient world maps ... what a powerful feeling a pilot would have experienced back then when finding one ... anyway Graham, this Robert Schoch (cause i see many comments here pointing him), if you want to submerge him for good, one single 'dive' at Gornaya Shoria will more than do ... (just translated a stunning interview with a russian, Georgy Sidorov) but who cares about their so called "official" version?

[@ToxisLT]

I am a skeptical person per se, and some of these do look like a natural formations - the 'well' the 'shrine' and others can very well be natural formations - but the terrace, the vertical pillars... well, ok, they could be by a freak accident created by nature too, but what is the chance, that the nature decided to invest so much creativity and accidents in one particular place?:) - As a whole I do think that it is even more likely that these are ancient ruins rather than nature did so much freaky stuff in one particular area - that would defy some laws of randomness (well.. or not, I am not a scientist or statistician:). Anyway, this should be excavated by archaeologists - if it's man made, there could be some stuff buried (unless it had sunk not long after being built, or during the process of building)

[@tomislavzoricic7618]

Just a blind person cannot believe own eyes! But mysterious is why Japan as wealthy state didn't do anythig to research this site!!!

[@Logan.Ninefingers]

The rock type looks very layered. Probably some slate type. That would explain the linear nature of the breaks. However some parts really do look deliberately shaped. Worth further investigation I would say.
