"The underwater 'thing' at Graham's site is off the coast of Okinawa and would have been above water level at the end of the last Ice Age ... and it is conjectured that the site was a ruin even before it became a sumberged site, covered by the rising waters of the ice age ending." I just saw an hour special on this site the other night. Geologist Robert Schott said that he thinks it's a natural formation, he did say that humans may have been present at the site before it was covered with water, but, they did not build it. I trust his judgement. He's the geologist that started the controversy about the age of the Sphinx being 9-10,000 years old.

Don't forget old, cantankerous John Anthony West.

Good catch, blam. It was Bauval, West, and Schott who posed the notion that erosion at the Sphinx site had to have occurred at minimum the end of the last ice age, roughly more than 10,000 years ago.
The site off Okinawa has 'carved' characteristics which would only be possible prior to the end of the last ice age, with carved 'sockets' where posts may have stood and platform or seat type tiers that were also carved. There is interesting 'stuff' out there to be explored, don'tcha think?
