Come dive with us to the "Sea God's Palace," one of the world's greatest mysteries.
Experts believe it may be the remnants of a vast underwater city, a Japanese Atlantis. We explore this giant pyramid beneath the waves, with drainage ditches, rooms carved in rocks, massive stone steps and even perhaps a once bustling boulevard. But were these strange shapes carved by human hands or the waves? Masaaki Kimura, the leading expert on the underwater monument, calls it the oldest building on earth. "We have been able to collect relics, stone tools...direct evidence that humans existed," he says. There are indeed several similar monuments on land, ancient castles that formed the heart of the Okinawan empire. The region's traditional graves were also often built beside the sea. Perhaps the monument was the victim of rising sea levels as the ice age ended

I'm leaning heavily toward the "artificial" side of the argument. That straight, parallel groove that goes on for quite a distance really tears it for me. In a Russian documentary, they found a perfect, deeply carved square hole in one of the rocks. And it wasn't modern; they had to dig coral out of it to reveal that it was square. I feel it in my gut that civilization is older than we've always thought. And my gut is never wrong, especially when it comes to food:)
of course its man made, comon'! We know about plate tectonics, ice ages, and Pangaea. This was clearly once above water and represents an ancient human city.
How long ago would it have been created to be a result of tectonics?
'Of course' and 'clearly' are not scientific terms. Perhaps you think this is manmade because it looks like certain things elsewhere that are manmade; geologists think it's natural, because... it looks like certain thingelsewhere that are natural
@@smnwbb geologists arent exactly open minded if it challenges their beliefs. Kinda like religious people
Well obviously the Ancients were building on the shore during the last ice age. Ice age ended and a lot of cities got submerged with the rising sea levels. I think building techniques are a lot older than we think.

Those people before the flood where amazing and this to me is another power full look at the damage said flood did to the earth. Simply amazing. The more we learn about and find these ruins the harder the evidence is to hide. This makes me wonder could the ark have been created in Japan?
Thanks for posting this. Enjoyed the comments of the professor.
OMG!!! this is such an amazing find. Super breathtaking!
My grams told me about this when i was little it was pretty interesting.
interesting video and very informative
@Bellybeard I have just done that and watched it all.. really very fascinating stuff! Thankyou very much for sharing :]
i remember seeing this on tv years ago, this was pretty cool i wish they knew more
WOW, simply AMAZING!
This is so great. Thanks for posting it! I am curious why wouldn't it just be plain old... Atlantis.
. . The stories, even myth of the “Sea God’s Palace,” is potentially far reaching into the past; possibly, just as significant as the myth of the city of “Ancient Troy” once was to Middle East studies and finds.
I wish we could see all these underwater cities. See if there's any small artifacts that we could bring up and examine. Imagine what we could learn. It drives me crazy to think its all down there but too expensive to explore it all the way. I guess there's a huge city under the Caribbean. Check it out.
good one.
Woah this was on the news that's how I know! And I read a lot of books and theories of atlantis.
that is an absolutely remarkable find. I'm totally shocked, where can I find more information about this?
Amazing world we come from,
Wonder if there is a way to scan it to see if there a Way into the structure
@Jumok80 R U talking about that dirt hill?
Not only are they showing the water erosion on the sphinx, then this, and on top of all that there's a video that proves Phi and the metric system is used to build the pyramids in egypt. It also shows that if you start at Easter Island and draw a line through the Great Pyramid of Giza and continue on around earth back to Easter Island, that like 30 megalithic structures lie within that 25,000 mile line.
as a diving instructor, I feel that I have to tell you that what he did was not right, he jumped, where he shouldn't, he was facing down and that is a serious mistake, and he left his hose dangling, and it goes on...
Around 4:00 why do they start playing the soundtrack from The Last Samurai?
wow what have they found here!!!
Some stones clearly look in the footage look like they are laid upon each other perfectly providing a flat face & again the chances of this happening is pretty remote.
One thing that they don't mention is whether the monument bares any resemblance to the surrounding underwater coast of Yonaguni. If it seems to be a more extreme version of the island natural underwater features, then that would seem to indicate that it is natural.
Here's a quote from the expedition report from the archaeologist Shri Sundaresh, the only archaeologist to dive under there:
"The terraced structures with a canal are undoubtedly man-made, built by cutting an existing huge monolithic outcrop. The rectangular terraced structure and canal probably might have served as a jetty for handling, loading/unloading small boats before its submergence to present depth"
Even the geologists Masaaki Kimura , Robert Schoch and Wolf Wichmann have opposing views
some of this stuff is way older and way more tech and industry oriented than people think. tihuanacu is defined as a massive religious center when its a mining and water filtration center, the main pyramid there has a gigantic sandstone base topped with much denser stone. sandstone is a great water filer.
I believe Yonaguni is within the Telluric current distribution. This is a subtle energy, however under the right geological conditions this energy can be usefully harnessed as some theroize with the Giza Pyramids (see the Pyramid Code episode 2). In Asia these lines were called Dragon Lines, & in Australia, Songlines.
this is fascinating.... There`s so much about the history of mankind we havn`t a clue about. Humans seemed a lots more clever, productive and adventurous before the more modern times of currency and greed.
If people used to sings songs about ancient civilizations nearby... that should also be evidence. Local culture says a lot. But what I couldn't understand is, if the Marine Geology expert found those rocks with lithography carved, why isn't that enough proof?
Someone should do a proper follow up doc on this. Not sure if there's been any new developments. It's quite fascinating though.
Hello all, I hope people know that circa 10,000 years ago this area was not submerged in water, such as at the same time it was possible to walk from England to France on land. (not through the channel tunnel)
I have looked through google and couldn't find any examples of right angles in eroded sandstone or mudstone, please can you provide me of a link showing natural right agles in erosion. The chances of having 2 parallel faces upon a stone through natural erosion is highly unlikely. To have many of these stones on the same site is too much of a coincidence.
you guys can search James Churchward's Lost Continental of MU for this place. It "could be" from MU.
Those are some massive steps.
LOL the guy in the hoodie at 1:04 is like "I can't believe I'm doing this"
The "pyramide" look´s more like a stone quarry
So many questions, how has no one ever written about this city in the ancient world?
When the worlds sea levels were lower over 10, 000 years ago. They were low enough that this structure would have been exposed as dry land. Other parts of the world close to the coasts before the sea levels rose would have been inhabited.
some of this stuff is way older and way more tech and industry oriented than people think. tihuanacu is defined as a massive religious center when its a mining and water filtration center, the main pyramid there has a gigantic sandstone base topped with much denser stone. sandstone is a great water filer. they would flood the base and collect water from the inside. or outside.
wow thats a find and a half, how come this is the fist ive hear of it? u'd think it would be all over the media?
In the Mediterranean Sea alone there are over 200 known sunken cities. So imagine the number of sunken cities all over the earth.
@MonKingBeer im not sure where you got your information but your absolutely right. I learned that from Law of One.
@heyyallikk wasn't there an underwater structure found in taiwan as well? dated maybe 20,000 years? maybe the people merely abandoned the palce & became austronesians.
I recommend have a look at The Code, by Carl Munck.
@Bellybeard Also what i find interesting is that there is an underwater structure near florida and that one and guess what if you look, those 2 plus the pyramids of giza all line up exactly. I noticed that when i was watching show on the sphinx..I don't really think thats coincidence... could be but i dont thnk so.
One does not have to pass through any portal to see the entire site, but I can understand them trying to pull that one, since going through that portal, which is there, is pretty trippy. This site is strange, to say the least, and leaves us scratching our heads in bewilderment as to what, if any, role humans played in its formation.
@joakeimmcgrath Thanks for this information, could you name me some books about these? Its rare to find So intelligent people here, on youtube.
i wish stuff like this would make the news instead of boring stuff and war and shit
@frenkynofuzz
Absolutely. I agree with you 100%.
They are amazing. Beautiful.
The secret history of humanity... an interesting area to explore.
the second guy at 3:26 gets into the water so much more bad ass than the first guy
@vrvcent
I was talking about the Ainu in Hokkaido, which is what whathisface was probably referring to.
@gtq838 hmm, I had never heard of that, thanks for letting me know i'll have to look into that.
omg they did something like this in Pet Shop of Horrors manga cause like the one dude and the count D's dad went in this place that had blind chickens that were part of a "city" that fell in the sea cept it was like in Italy or something I think Atalantis had areas all over and blew itself up
that is really interesting. i never would have thought that Japan would have an Atlantis. but for people that believe that people can't carve huge things out of one large piece of rock are wrong.. i mean come on... Mount Rushmore was carved out of the side of a mountain, no extra stone put in but that to fill some cracks. it's possible. it might take a long ass time but i believe it's possible. :) awesome video btw thanks.
Theories were put forward that the huge smooth rocks were formed because of sudden earthquake and volcanic activity which causes huge pieces of molten lava to appear out of underground and cooled down by the sea water
Google earth is an excellent thing. If you look at certain islands you can see were old islands were connected, you can see old cities,some very large, there are lots of reported underwater cities and pyramids like this in many places. Int the Himalayas were theres some lakes u can see buildings under them, 1 was an old temple, isnt it possible weve had very advanced ppl in the past but extreme events put us back,, and hope Japan survive their recent events
They explained that the "Antartica map without ice" is false (I really don't remember how).
But I suspect that certain things are kept secret.
Japanese "Atlantis" was just a part of North Atlantis (all over the Europe, Asia, even North America)
Capital city was in Mediteranian sea...Remains of the ancient temples still stand in Malta
It resembles a stone quarry, for example check out the Dionysos marble quarry in Greece.
i have never seen anything about this on TV i wonder why. i believe human history is greater than what we have record of..
the answer was very well explained, maybe you should pay more attention.
Do you imagine how much knowledge can we learn from those ancient cities and people, they had technology than we can even match today, like piramids, etc.
We think our self as an advanced society but they had better technology then us, atleast so it looks.
On top of that, there are many unexplained disappearances in the Pacific Triangle off the coast of Japan just like in The Bermuda Triangle where the Bimini Road is! If you really think about it it all adds up!
because of the 2004 tsunami(actually because of the earthquake) some islands have sunk 30 meters on a side and they also have risen 30 meters on the other side. Maybe something similar happened here.
Lol this is the city that made the famous kid's story for japanese people, about the guy who saves a Turtle, and the Turtle brings him underwater to the "Under water Castle" :P
@alexis7166
dude the ozone hole has nothing to do with the raising sea level. its the greenhouse effect that caused the ice caps to melt.
@omarking909 I couldn't agree more!
And I guess that this is a natural formation as well as the Aifel Tower.
@heyyallikk - I ponder that thought as well.
@DarthChrisB haha.. good one! : )
Simply, Earth bought up at least 6 times different level civilization, the only question is about the time and present situation of each civilization.
Finally,one in english.
There is truly a civilization long time ago here in earth which is our ancestor
Because he is the only archaeologist, not the geologists or any others that have dived down
@skeetereze and so on..All our history, our myths, were re-written from something much older..^_^. It was interesting to talk with you but know I must leave for a place without internet. I hope to hear you again!..Have a beautiful day, my friend..
People saying Atlantis is a hoax wait till Antartica melts i think big city's will be seen.
@videochemist You are correct amigo.
@MillyVanillification and what out about the Sumarian civilization its the first civilization that had ever exsited its older than the pyrimed of Egypt
incredible
Couldn't of been made by nature !
I just realised that Yonaguni is right next to Taiwan. and Taiwan was supposedly the original home of the polynesian people.
if we look for clues from all these cultures, in addition to Okinawan, perhaps we can piece together the story of what happened to this "lost civilisation".
@omarking909 There's alot of mystery as well in the rest of South East Asia. The chain of archipelagos that stretch from the south of China to the North of Australia. They weren't islands to begin with. In fact, they were part of 3 great land masses in the area a long time ago. They were Wallacea, Sundaland, and Sahundaland. Research about it. There's also the mystery of the sunken land masses off the coast of Florida all the way to the north of Brazil.
@Bellybeard Gizeh is not even dated 5000 old. Of course dating stone is a bit difficult. You look what civilization left around it.
Calling it "Japans Atlantis" is trivializing it. It could be Neolithic, it has been a very long time since that was above water. They should look deeper into it.
maybe it's Godzilla's house, cause everytime when I was a kid and saw a Godzilla movie Godzilla would come out of the water or go to the water after kicking butt.
2:33
英語の吹き替えで "さん" が使われるようになったんですね。
It makes you think that ancient man possessed technology that rivaled and even surpassed today's technology. Maybe ancient man faced annihilation(flood, glaciers,wars,plague) and this technology was lost the same way we would lose it today if we faced ctastrophe on a global scale.
A trained Scuba diver with a camera, and a few geologists have been down there, that does not make them archaeologists.
i agree. anyone who tells us those are natural must think we are 5 years old or are 5 years old themselves.
Those are blatantly ancient ruins of a lost civillisation
石切り場跡が地殻変動で海底に沈んだ
ってとこでしょうね
All natural. It's just under water so it intrigues people .same formations on shore 🇺🇸👍
This is crazy.
This is PART OF the lost continent of MU that sunk 14,000 years ago because of the explosion of the natural gas pipe. It was the biggest continent at that time. The people who lives there where the current Austronesian/Polynesian/Mayan race. Taiwan, Philippines, Easter Island, Hawaii, Tahiti, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other surrounding islands where one big continent called MU. Story of MU are still carved in Mayan and Egyptian pyramids and stones.
why I cannot skip the commercial ?
It's a quarry. Makes complete sense.
how about at least carvings of signs and drawings around the "temple" rocks? none was found. it's really unbelievable that a highly advanced race able to carve out such pieces of huge rock not using any means of communication at all?
even Egyptian pyramids have drawings on the walls, but this one has none...
def. not eroded, ships erode because they are made of metal and/or wood. sea water is not very friendly to either of those materials but stone is another story and you know that.
