Is it a city so ancient it defies our understanding of history? Or just a rock?
I took a little swim around so you could decide. This is Yonaguni monument.

@stevekinder7850 2 года назад

Okay, so there was a cataclysm about 12,000 years ago. It wiped out most of life and raised the sea level by at least 150 feet. What we call "ancient history" barely even starts there. We now live in the high plains compared to before 12,000 years ago (that thing that caused the glaciers to melt and raise the sea level so high). There wouldn't have been much of a record for us to find probably because they would have lived well below the surface or the now-sea level. Very similar how it is warmer in the lowlands and valleys today. A great place to look will be in water where there is an oceanic drop-off, where a port would likely have been. In 5000 years, there would be no sign we were here; metals rust or oxidize, plastics and concrete will have broken down. When our polar caps melt, finding any sign of our lives as we are now will be a long forgotten interest within a few generations. They will find some of our better built places, re-purpose them and soon forget how or why they were built in the first place.

@Littleprinceleon 8 месяцев назад

Try some videos by "World of antiquity": he makes solid efforts to dissect claims made by Hancock... If only you would know how METICULOUS EFFORTs, how detailed knowledge, how much hardly earned data goes into "proving" actual scientific hypotheses (in general). The quality and quantity of alternative evidences is ridiculously miniscule and no, the major cause isn't the lack of funding. A few parallel lines, almost flat surfaces, etc and the mantra of erosion are not evidences in themselves. Archeology and related research areas might have been more "sloppy" and influenced by non relevant agenda than biology up until the 70ties and surely there are more basal controversies still present due to the scarcity of decisive findings. Did anyone make DETAILED ENOUGH PROPOSAL about the alleged possibility of a (global and/or advanced) civilization disappearing without a trail due to a RAPID rise of the sea levels? AFAIK no geologists made a scientifically plausible hypothesis about such RAPID rise as to make that disappearance at least somewhat REALISTIC. We are talking about at least a dozen meter of global sea level during weeks or few months at most. However, the quickest such rise geophysically possible takes a few hundred years at minimum.

Look into figures like Jack Horner, his entire career is saying outrageous and obviously false things about famous dinosaurs, because it stirs up a shit storm.

These stupid ass conspiracy theories about scientists covering shit up because it disagrees with the status quo are made by people who haven't been paying attention to all the insane things people are saying about black holes simply because they're a hot topic right now, or they do see that and ignore scientists doing the exact thing they say that scientists never do.

I’m not saying I know for certain that the Sphinx is 12,000 years old, but I do think the evidence is compelling enough to give it serious thought. It’s not just Robert Schoch, many geologists have been there and said the erosion surrounding the Sphinx is water erosion. This coupled with the fact that 12,000 years ago, the star alignment above the Sphinx would have been a lion. This also in conjunction with the fact that there’s no records of the egyptians building it. This in conjunction with the fact that Egyptian antiquities is known to be a corrupt field headed by corrupt people who have been arrested for lying and stealing, like Zahi Awass (probably spelling that wrong). It all seems like legit evidence to me

You may not agree with what many of these what you called "alternative scientists" say or claim, but their criticism towards mainstream scientists is definitely valid to some degree. You don't have to agree with everything they say, but it sure is strange how some things are treated as true or conventional wisdom, whereas in fact they sometimes are mere guess work, or the "connecting of dots" that fit the generally accepted narrative. These critical voices shouldn't be disregarded that easily, I don't think. The silencing or ridiculing of critical (or "alternative") voices is the death of science.

You use the words conspiracy theory and pseudo science. That's fine, but to ridicule people with genuine intentions to research the things that beg questions is frankly ad hominem (Graham Hancock only postulated his own opinion about it but himself stated that Robert Schoch disagreed with him and thought the site was natural). The site is probably natural...So what? You're calling people pseudo scientists when those people attempt to lay bare evidence about other things that contradict current schools of thought, when no credible counter arguments are put forward. I've been in the Sphynx enclosure myself and basic 101 geology shows that there has been a good deal of water erosion since the thing was constructed. Your video is narrated in a very snide manner. If all people who offer dissenting opinions about current schools of thought in history were labelled "pseudo scientists" or accused of self promotion, we'd still be living in the dark ages.

@waynemyers2469 День назад

Actually, accepting doubtful, often absurd claims is NOT what brought us out of the Dark Ages, it was critical thinking, the scientific method and experimentation that accomplished that. If scientists and historians allow themselves to be silenced or bullied by pseudo-scientists and con_men we will, no doubt, return to the dark-ages. By the way, the earth is not flat, there was never an Atlantis and there's no such thing as fairy's, either and if your idea of "evidence" is so sloppy that you allow things like that to be part of your world-view you deserve to be ridiculed as well.

I wonder, I listen to your videos and other's videos. I even go on my smaller adventures. And I wonder in a world so full of wonders why for some people it's not enough. I wonder about the people who assume older means less wise. I have no problem with ancient people building the great monuments without the help of aliens or wizards or whatever else. Mostly I wonder why there seems to be a loss of the ancient knowlege, a gap. And when we started again we seem to have turned a different way. It's the only world I know and I love it. Although I do enjoy some good sci-fi novels.

Hey rare earth always being a fan, but your explanation in this episode over how stones are natural is less convincing. Just how does geology and hydrology create perfect 90 degree ledges and channels on giant cliff faces for example? Unfortunately this episode lacks the scientific voice that supports your view at all. (And who says government verdict is always right? Look at the Cloves First model, Graham's money is right on the spot when every other institution accused him of sudosicence, but he IS Right)

@RareEarthSeries 4 года назад

It creates them in the hundred all across the rocks above them, both sitting in the water and on the cliff face, as I mention in this video. There aren't just other rocks exactly like this one. There are hundreds within a few metres in all directions. This one just happens to have fallen horizontally in an exposed way, and the current has cleared the smaller debris off the top. It isn't complex. It is very obvious in person.

@asdfasdfasdf111666 4 года назад

Yeah, its pretty stupid to think that anyone figured out how to carve stone or anything else "civilized" within the 200,000 plus years of human history before about 5,000 years ago. Because we know pretty much everything.

If it was above water humans would of occupied it maybe carved something in the rocks, maybe smoothed out the flat surfaces, what was natural forming now looks like 10 years of human labour and stone carvings. Makes you wonder about other places around the globe that where found and occupied.

@peglor 4 года назад

If you're on the hunt for more impressive rock slabs, you might need to take a trip to the Burren and Giant's Causeway in Ireland/Northern Ireland. The Burren was man made in a way - overgrazing by bronze age farmers eroded the topsoil and left acres of bare limestone slabs exposed, creating a very rare ecosystem and very unusual scenery. The area is riddled with limestone caves because almost all the rivers run underground having eroded through the limestone. The slabs were formed when the area was prehistoric seabed though. The Giant's Causeway, which looks far more manmade than Yonaguni, is a consequence of molten rock cooling at exactly the right rate to break into polygon shaped geometric columns and is absolutely spectacular and extremely rare worldwide. Strangely no conspiracy theories have survived into modern times on this (Though the name of the place is a reference to a legend about a giant building it as a causeway to Scotland and destroying it again as far as I remember), probably because it's so breathtakingly impressive by itself it doesn't need marketing to convince people to visit. While you're there the Titanic museum (About an hour from the Giant's Causeway) in Belfast (In the shipyard where the Titanic was built) is a great trip, though not as in line with this channel as the Titanic museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee (Which has nothing to do with the Titanic's history and everything to do with cashing in on James Cameron's movie). My favourite thing about this is that people get their wedding vows renewed on a copy of the famous stairs in the Titanic by a guy dressed as the captain of the Titanic thinking it's romantic while completely missing that the Titanic's fame is for probably being the all time greatest example of why safety regulations are written in blood.

Makes me think of an April Fool's story I read 30-40 years ago: The story claimed that Niagara Falls was fake -- it had been invented by Native Americans as a tourist trap. Originally it was smaller since it was powered by pumps powered by natives riding stationary bicycles hidden in a cave (I know how this sounds; it was the seventies) In fact the famous Hydro Electric plants there are in actual fact just huge pumps that send water up the cliff so it can come out the top and rush over the falls. Shhh, don't tell anyone.

I'm working in a high school in Japan, and I've been helping students get ready for their college entrance exams. The practice exam books always use questions and texts from the real tests of a few years ago. Yesterday, I helped a student who had the practice book for a decently prestigious university, and the text was about these Yonaguni monuments-- except it was completely skewed toward the view of it being a real human made city. Of course the opposite view was mentioned as a counter argument, but I was surprised this English language text written by British authors was pushing this narrative so much.

The entire discussion is red meat for people who agree with you. I wish you would have done a discussion of the rock types, shear lines/fractures and the extensive currents in the water in this region. Yes, everyone you mentioned (except Schoch, who called this natural) has a conflict of interest. However, many scientists have done the breakdown on this. It’s sad that such an awesome structure is being used to justify unsupported conclusions.

@RareEarthSeries 9 месяцев назад

The scientists who did those breakdowns have already explained the cleavage, shear lines, etc. If that's the information you want, it is readily available. As you say, many scientists have done a breakdown on this. This is my story of going to see the monument and my experience investigating it in person. The goal wasn't to convince anyone else, but rather to prove it to myself.

@Sleepy4213 9 месяцев назад

@@RareEarthSeries I’m happy you did it! The most valuable part of your video is you show video of the floor, the island walls, everywhere around you that shows it’s not even a different rock formation than anything around it! This structure was my intro into pseudo archaeological world and by finding primary research I satisfied my curiosity that this was just a rock structure under stress. I have just been watching your site and you are such a great storyteller, mixing in the hard science with the conflicts of interests would have been the “Chef’s kiss” for me. Still a great video. Glad you had such a great experience! Also, if you watch the original video with Graham Hancock from year’s ago.. they had to cancel their initial dive because of massive currents greater than 6 knots. Geniuses never took a second to consider current effects on the rocks over the last 10k years lol.

@Littleprinceleon 8 месяцев назад

@@RareEarthSeries Hi, I would be glad if you were so kind to provide some link(s) to those readily available studies/scientific discussions... or their interpretations (readily) understandable by more apt laypeople 😊 Those few (from the end of 90ties) I was able to found lacked any drawings not speaking about photographs: but the major problem is that even a molecular biologist like myself can evaluate those as speculative expert opinions, basically claiming that the formation of the "monument" COULD HAVE BEEN natural but without much detail (mostly none at all) about specific parts that clearly show a pattern that deserves a more thorough explanation. So are there any studies (trying to apply scientific models or at least making measurements) or do we have to suffice with experts view on it? "World of antiquity" has good debunking videos on ancient stuff but his weaknesses show up (readily) when construction or geology is at the heart of the issue. I couldn't find a video by him on this topic. The KEYWORD of Yonaguni seams to trump my attempts to include even very specific terms, eg. *photograMs* of the area are nowhere to be find, although they were allegedly made via the help of UAVs in recent times... (I managed to found only one page worth of overview info by a Japanese group). Many thanks for the video and for any clue as to the direction of reliable information. With regards Peter from Slovakia

@Airbournjack 4 года назад

It was interesting to see your Take on this. I first learned about Yonaguni Via Josh gates Expedition unknown. In his piece he see's an expert that shows the mechanism by which the shelves are created. the only thing that gave me pause was the turtle shape. That seems out of place among the steps. That being said just because something seems out of place doesn't mean that its unnatural.

@RareEarthSeries 4 года назад

When you see it in person the "turtle" looks supppppppper natural on 3/4 of the rock, with a broken bit that looks handmade. It is easy to get a photo that makes it seem carved, but in person its hard to keep that mentality.
