Sunday Site Visit 81: ANCIENT JAPAN - Bizarre Megaliths Part 2 - Ishi No Hoden, The Floating Stone 

thank you Geoff and lex.

I’ve always wanted to see a detailed video on this.

brilliant vid , thanks for doing it.

To me, it has always appeared to have been cut and fashioned in such a way as to be able to be slotted, pointy end down, into something. Very much like a cap on top of a fence post in shape.

Is the Floating Stone the same stone as that of the ditch around it? I'm curious. I noticed the stone is disconnected from the foundation. Is it possible that the stone fell over? The stone seems to be symmetrical from the triangular portion. Ok, never mind. Your friend Taro(?) answered my question.

Idk if you've spotted it, but the cross-section of the 2 staircases shows the icon for lightening. The cross-section of the steps are painted white and follows the same pattern. I don't think that's an accident.

❤ This Episode rocks 🪨!!! I am so happy we were able to see this ! 😁

clearly a fluid control valve with those mating surfaces. that back part would have a fork.

Would it be disrespectful to get a small sample of the tuff stone from the hillside or somewhere close by? I wonder if it floats in a bowl of water.

How does he not blink at all during that intro?

Dude never blinks.

Maybe intended to cut it loose, fill the pit with water...and float it out the top.

Can Alexa get on your shoulders and take the magnetometer reading from the triangular protrusion?
