90-foot underwater ‘pyramid’ could predate Egyptian landmarks and Stonehenge by thousands of years — and rewrite history, scientists say

Is this the real-life Atlantis. A 90-foot “pyramid” submerged just off the coast of Japan is turning heads — and could shake up everything we thought we knew about ancient civilizations.

Sitting 82 feet below sea level near the Ryukyu Islands, the Yonaguni Monument has baffled scientists and divers since it was first discovered in 1986. The enormous stone structure, complete with angular steps and flat terraces, looks uncannily like the ruins of a man-made temple — despite being over 10,000 years old. That timeline, if proven accurate, would date it thousands of years earlier than Egypt’s pyramids or England’s Stonehenge — and possibly make it the oldest known structure ever built by humans.

Where’s the pyramid? Doesn’t look like there’s enough definition to call it manmade - might be, but not absolutely definitive.

Would have to be an Ice-Age structure. I’m pretty sure this site was featured on Ancient Aliens at some point.

With more study they can clarify the origin. I was trying to remember Graham Hancock’s name recently when all the stuff was going on with the Great Pyramid. He wrote long ago that it was a machine.

You know it’s a great one when you don’t need the printed lines.

I have the original hard copy books by Churchward: “The Lost Continent of Mu,” “The Children of Mu,” and “The Sacred Symbols of MU.” Don’t have the last book of the series.

They are in some dis-repair, but readable. Churchward was sort of a crackpot, but who knows, maybe he was right?

The books are from the 1930’s. My Aunt was highly interested in the stuff. She spent many hours talking to me about Mu and about Archaeology in general.

I miss you, Aunt Dory.

Remanants of another pre-flood civilization older than known “ancient civilizations”.
