The mysterious Ise-Jingu, Japan's most important shrine

The star is called the Kagome crest.

Thanks - it looks like a sun symbol to me, not a star.

Amaterasu is Japan’s Sun Goddess. The icon you saw carved into stone represents Amaterasu - the sun. Unlike the Egyptian sun god, Ra, Amaterasu cares about her people. Her story is actually very sad. Her efforts to protect humanity did not go unpunished. Not all gods are kind.

Why doesn't this channel have more subs, honestly?

[@Yukendoit]

Thanks man!

[@drunkenmoosecorp8878]

Because there are only a few who are Worthy of the Yuken.

[@SuperEnthused]

Very well done! I hope to see this in person one day. Absolutely beautiful!!

I went here like a month ago and I didn't think it would be a good video until I started doing research then I found it incredibly interesting. I'm happy I shot b-footage just incase.

Starting my day with an awesome video. Thanks Scott!

[@Robothut]

Nice google earth close up

[@Yukendoit]

Gotta zoom in from somewhere. My contacts up in the international space station weren't available ha ha.

It was probably not established in 4 BCE. A more realistic date would be around the 5th century.

Great stuff, man. 😏

I'm not sure that looks like the Star of David but anyway symbols have always crossed over and cultures most of them can be traced back to India though
