The controversy that has erupted in archaeological circles around the world since the discovery of an enigmatic

structure, described by some as ‘pyramid-like’, at Iseki Point, just off the coast of the southernmost

Japanese island of Yonaguni-Jima, some 15 years ago, looks set to get even hotter as news

emerges that the so-called ‘Yonaguni Monument’ is just one of a number of

underwater megalithic structures in a ‘complex’ stretching for

many hundreds of miles northeast of Taiwan.

On the west side of Iseki Point is the ‘entrance’ feature that Professor Kimura’s Research Group has named the ‘Jomon’ or ‘Achimon’, which means the ‘Castle Gate’ or ‘Arch Gate’. It is a tunnel-like pathway a little over 5ft high, 3 feet wide, and about 10 feet long.


Its ceiling is formed by three megaliths which appear to have been ‘inserted’ or ‘wedged’ into a crevasse in a rock plate, suggesting that they might have been deliberately placed like this some considerable time ago when what is now the sea-bed area at the foot of Iseki Point was still dry land.

Despite being heavily silted due to the strong current off Iseki Point

it is still possible for divers to swim through it.

Below are the same two megaliths (Nimai-iwa) seen from two different angles. They have confused those who have expressed the belief that the whole of the ‘No.1 monument’ at Iseki Point is the result of ‘natural erosive forces’, and who can offer no explanation as to exactly how these two megaliths might have ‘accidentally’ become wedged between the side of the structure and a third, much larger, megalith.


In the image on the left they are shown from the main approach to them, which at present is by swimming through the ‘Arch Gate’. While in the image on the right they are shown from an angle looking downwards.

History’s Mysteries


“Do undersea relics near Okinawa offer proof of a sophisticated civilization during the last ice age?


Archeologists have long believed that civilization as they define it — intelligent, tool-making, monument building, social humans — began about 5,000 years ago.


But submerged beneath the waves near the Japanese island of Yonaguni is evidence that may well overturn that long-held theory.


A small but persuasive number of scholars and scientists have long thought that “advanced” societies may have existed as long as 10,000 years ago.


Their theories, however well reasoned and defended, have been hamstrung by a lack of evidence..


But recent discoveries of man-made artifacts on the Pacific seafloor may well prove to be the smoking gun that will propel this alternative view of civilization to prominence”.

Following the great cataclysms and mass extinctions of 11,500 years ago, land that once lay between the Chinese mainland

Okinawa and Japan was inundated. Only in the last 15 years or so has the attention of marine scientists been

drawn to the existence of ‘undersea walls’ off Taiwan, ‘stepped-pyramid-like structures’, and


very ‘unusual artifacts’ that have been discovered underwater in the East China Sea.


Needless to say, archaeologists and prehistorians studiously ignore them.
