    After a bit of research in Japanese, it is very clear that experts in Japan agree that Yonaguni is a natural rock formation, not manmade. The official name of the site has even changed from the Yonaguni Monument or Yonaguni Underwater Ruins (named when it was still thought to be manmade) to the Yonaguni Submarine Topography (or Underwater Rock Formation, depending on how you want to translate it).
    According to the Ryukyu University Seismology Lab, it was formed by coastal erosion, with waves eating away at the sandstone until the natural cracks in the rock broke away in chunks leaving the right angles and straight edges. They say that if the rock was malleable enough to be shaped by humans thousands of years ago, the angles and straight edges would have been eroded naturally by the waves since then and worn down into gentle curves. And if it was hard enough to withstand thousands of years of wave erosion without wearing done and cracking, it would have also been impossible for humans to have created it.

His team was not specialized in archeology or geology and he has not submitted any detailed data or papers to be peer-reviewed, so he is largely discredited by the scientific community. Countless experts in the related fields have reported that evidence that it was manmade is insubstantial.

I bet you speak Spanish don’t you, then also you must be catholic Christian? Right. Then if they knew Spanish were coming why were they digging instead of running. I bet they are all still there in the mountains living.

That whole area is an inhospitable mess of jungle, rain, and so on. I'm still baffled at the fact that people insist on trying to live there.

    The Yanaguni ‘monument’ has been disputed since the day it was discovered. The ‘ruins’ are geological formations that only somewhat resemble actual buildings and infrastructure. Several ‘stairs’ or ‘roads’ are way too uneven to function and they resemble these things at only the most cursory glance.
    Also, a tsunami alone won’t sink a city, and I think I learned that there had not been significant enough seismic activity there to drop the land below sea level either.
    Perhaps worthwhile, are a clip from a freediver who visited the site and posted clips of his dive on TH-cam. That must’ve been at least 5-6 years ago though, no clue who it was or if it’s still up, sorry.
    Btw, there is a similar structure like the Yanaguni ‘monument’ in the Baltic Sea, roughly off the coast of one of the Baltic states, I believe, which looks like a crashed spaceship. Similarly not real, but geological in origin, but cool to see.

    Referring to the "agonizing pain" of the Egyptian mummy as if the way they were found has anything to do with how they lived. The mouths of corpses just fall open unless they're intentionally closed. Nowadays in the US this is done by threading metal wire through the gums. In other cultures they would tie strips of fabric around the head keeping the jaw closed etc.
    There's a lot of screaming mummies in the world. This particular person, whoever they were, obviously did not receive the full Egyptian burial treatment after death, since their organs were still intact and such. It stands to reason that whoever wrapped them in that sheepskin also didn't take the time to tie their jaw closed. After all, if the expression on a deceased's face when we find them after several thousand years were to reflect the pain they were in when they died, Tutankhamun himself would have been screaming.

Tutankhamun had been infected with the worst strain of malaria several times, possibly had several genetic defects, and most importantly, had a bad leg fracture which had not healed in the slightest when he died - he most likely died from infection in that wound, possibly compounded with weakness from the other problems he had. Another theory is that it was sickle cell anemia. But the blunt force trauma to the head has been completely disproven, and all the other options would have been more than painful enough.

    "....but nobody knows why..." Think of some of the things you've covered. Think of the crazy collections and how they would look if discovered after being buried for two thousand years. For example, imagine people with undiagnosed conditions that have massively large collections of Disney items. One of these is popped open. There are storage racks, but also some on pedestals. These obviously held great value. In the center of the room, there is a two-meter-tall statue of what appears to be an obscenely muscular man. Its preservation is remarkable and even some of the green paint still remains. There were large runes at the base. We believe it is a name that roughly translates to Hult, Huk, or Holk. Dozens of other similar figures have been uncovered, but this is the largest ever found. We currently believe this domicile belonged to a high priestess. The effigy of the Huk may have been the means to speak to a higher power. Some believe the Huk was a demigod that paid homage to a greater lord who appeared as a massively powerful mouse. .... Simon, do a rant like this. It'd be gold.

      @@Julia-uh4liThere's something to ponder. We've heard how plastics can last for thousands of years, but the reality is a little different. That said, who knows what might happen as the dust and dirt around it solidified into rock. Might the plastic last long enough to leave an impression? It's hard to say; neither result would surprise. Time does appear to have a way of keeping souvenirs though.

    Great information and greatly enjoyed the video.
    The only problem I have with this video is using the picture of Queen Tiye. Queen Tiye, the mummy shown, was the wife of Amenhotep III and who died during the time of her son Akhenaten or at the time of her grandson Tutankhamun. The Tiye mentioned married to Rameses III is a completely different woman.
    While it might not matter to most I find it degrading of a woman who was beloved of her husband and thought of highly not only in Egypt but it Mitanni as well and considered a goddess in her own right.
