The underwater pyramids in Japan remain a mystery, with no definitive answer as to who built them. This text explores some intriguing theories and discoveries related to underwater structures in Egypt and Japan.
Water Erosion at Giza
Some researchers believe the Giza plateau in Egypt, including its famous pyramids and statues, shows signs of water erosion. This has led to speculation that:
• 🏛️ The area may be an ancient cemetery
• 🌊 It was once submerged underwater
Yonaguni: Japan’s Underwater Mystery
In 1986, a remarkable discovery was made near Japan’s Ryukyu Islands:

• 🇹🇼 Close to Taiwan’s eastern coast
• 🦈 Known for hammerhead shark populations
The Accidental Discovery
The director of the Yonaguni Tourism Association made an unexpected find while diving:
• 🏊 Diving at 35m depth to find shark observation spots
• 🏛️ Discovered a structure resembling a stepped pyramid
• 🏺 Similar to ancient Sumerian architecture
• 📏 Described as having “colossal dimensions”
Challenges in Studying the Structure
Researchers face difficulties in examining the Yonaguni structure:
• 🐚 Thick coral layer covers the pyramid
• 🔍 Makes it challenging to determine its exact nature
Additional Interesting Facts
• The Yonaguni Monument was first discovered in 1987 by Kihachiro Aratake
• 🌊 The structure lies between 5 and 40 meters beneath the ocean surface
