The Mystery of Yonaguni Monument

By David Nishimoto

Another in the Robot Wars series by Golden Lion, this book delves into the mysteries surrounding the Yonaguni Monument located under water off the coast of Japan. Who created it, why, and what does it mean for us today? Read as Golden Lion unlocks the mystery and reveals an ancient people who had a high level of technology, and an evil robot who tries to steal the monument's secrets to aid in his quest to conquer the universe and enslave humanity.

I wrote this book in response to an amazing dream by my daughter, Kimi. She dreamed we went on a treasure hunt for an ancient artifact in Japan. I was moved by the dream. I started my extensive study of ancient Israel in Japan. I discovered the Ainu were Basque with Israeli blood. I discovered a migration from Sameria to Japan by the first Emperor Jimmu, after the Assyrian seige. But the most amazing discovery was the Ark and Covenant traces in Japan. The Urim and Thummin beings the greats treasure.

Chapter 1

Scott studied the ancient map he had found in an old book belonging to his deceased father.  Scott and his son, Jacob, had opened an old wooden chest that had belonged to Scott's father.  The map had many curious symbols and pictures on it which Scott did not recognize.  They carefully examined the images and characters on the parchment.  Both Scott and Jacob seemed bewildered, unable to discover or decypher the meaning of the map.

Scott voiced his first impression, I think this is an important map.

Jacob asked, A map to what?

I think this is a treasure map.  The symbols talk about a gate that stands between two pillars or lions with the rising sun at the top of the arch.   It could mean the entrance to a heavenly land of plenty.

The pillars represent a barrier or passage way.   The sun atop the two pillars represents a rebirth or resurrection, a renewal of that which is old to something that is new.

Jacob warmed to the subject, Dad, this is exciting.  You're suggesting the designers of this map were announcing a new, undiscovered country where things could be made new.  A land promising refuge and renewal.

Jacob had grown older.  He was getting the beginning of facial hair, and his voice was becoming deeper.  Unlike Scott, Jacob had dark, black, curly hair.  His arms and abdomen were becoming chiseled from daily situps and pullups.  He also did pushups until his arms burned with exhaustion.  Jacob liked to sprint up and down the neighborhood block to build up speed and stamina.  He liked the feel of running hard and getting his lungs to breath deeper under stress.  He didn't look like a boy.  Instead, he looked more masculine and more of a man than ever before.

Scott had noticed Jacob's voice becoming deeper and more defined.  Jacob enjoyed the discussions of ideas and history.  He had plenty of opinions about how the world worked, and he liked to share them with his father.

Dad, you said that it was an important map.  Why do you even think it is a map?

Scott nodded his head in acknowledgment of Jacob's doubts.  You see these outlining lines?

Jacob asked, Yes.  What do you think they mean?

Scott explained, I recognize the outlined shape.  It is the shape of the hidden monunment of Yonaguni.  It is a monument buried under the ocean off the coast of southern Japan.

Why would the parchment have a reference to the Pyramid of Yonaguni?  Why would grandpa have kept this ancient map in one of his books?

I don't know.  It's very mysterioius.

I remember your grandpa had studied ancient civilizations as a hobby.  He was always reading books about Peru and the Inca Empire.  He thought about becoming a Mason, but I don't think he ever joined.  Some of his friends were Masons, and they talked extensively about Pyramids, stone-cutting, numbers and history.  It was a very interesting home to grow up in.

Dad, what do you make of the two sitting lions with their backs to each other?  This could be Egyptian.  I don't know.  It could be Hebrew.  Let's suppose it is Egyptian.

The Egyptians used symbols duelistically.  The two lions could be Isis and Nephthys or Maat.  Maat is the principle of polarity:  Justice and Mercy, day and night, and male and female.  The Egyptians believed in the principle of balance.  if a person were hungry or naked, then one should feed and cloth him.  That created moral balance.  Maat is associated with rebirth or resurrection and the creation of the cosmos where light and matter combined to form life, planets and stars.  Maat's counterpart is Toth.  Toth is at the helm of the Boat of Ra.

Jacob added, It seems the Egyptians believed if you live an honest and fair life and died having a good heart, that you would pass over into the spirit world with Justice and Peace at your side.  The image is very powerful.  The heavenly voyage across the waters to the afterworld is long and tendous, but the final destination is glorious and divine with a crowning rejoining to the body or returning back to a glorious temple.

Toth is a messenger leading Phaorah before Ra.

The symbols suggest that Yonaguni was a temple.

Dad, what would a temple or holy monument be doing in Japan?  I thought the Japanese people did not believe in God.

Well, Jacob, it seems like history imay prove otherwise.

Chapter 2

Scott and Jacob entered into their home office to do some more research.  Their curiosity had been peaked.  Scott sat at the computer and displayed a picture of the Yonaguni Monument on the 50 inch, high-def monitor hanging on the wall before them.

The Yonaguni Monument is 164 feet long, 66 feet wide and 100 feet tall.  Notice how many of the angles are right angles.  

The monument has step-like structures and walls.

On the east side of the monument is a carving of the shell of a giant sea turtle in the rocks.

The giant sea turtle is a mythical creature.  In Japanese myth, Peach Boy rode on a giant turtle across the waters.  The Ojibwa describe their ancestors as having traveled from East to West on eight giant Sea Turtles.

Jacob remembered the story of Peach Boy as told by his mother.  Peach Boy was born from the pit of a peach.  His parents were an old Japanese couple that had no children.  They raised Peach Boy until one day, he decided to see the world.  His mother packed him a lunch of rice balls, wrapping them in a colorful piece of cloth and tied them to a pole.  Peach Boy departed on his journey.  Soon after leaving home, he encountered a fox.  The fox wanted to eat Peach Boy.  The fox wanted to carry Peach Boy on his back across a river.  The fox planned on eating boy when they arrived on the other side of the river.  Peach boy outsmarted the fox and strangled it when they reached the other side of the river.  Peach Boy outsmarted the fox and escaped a certain death.

 After a long and dangerous journey, he returned home to his parents.  They had been worried that Peach Boy had been killed.  After his coming-of-age journey, he settled in back at home and lived a peaceful and confident life.

Jacob returned his attention back to his father's discussion.

Scott noted, Some researchers think the giant turtle carving links to the Urashima Taro fable.  In the fable, a turtle was being  tormented by bullies.  A fisherman released the turtle into the sea.  The turtle grew in size, traveling far, and eventually returned back to the Island as a giant turtle.  These researchers think the Urashima fable somehow links to the Yonaguni rock carvings.

Scott pointed to a part of the monument.  In this section, research divers found two large, parallel slabs standing upright.

Over here is a depressed area of rock that resembles a triangle.  Can you make it out?  It's not clearly defined.

Jacob replied, Yeah, it does sort of look like a triangle to me.  I wonder what it was used for.

Scott replied, Dr. Kimura, a professor of Marine Geology at the University of the Ryukyus said the triangle structure reminded him of a drinking fountain in the Gusuku Castle.

Dr. Kimura also uncovered stone tools.

He found pillars and a stone tablet with symbols that looked like a + and two Os and a > sign.  More than 10 sheets of stone tablets were discovered.

Scott brought up a picture of a rock that looked like the vague outlines of a face.  Jacob looked intensely at the rock in the picture.  It wasn't easy to discern.  What is it?

Some people think a face had been carved in the rock.  The rock is almost 7 meters tall.

Scott pointed to a region on the rock.  

Here is what seems to be the two eyes on the face.  The rock was worn and grey, submerged in the ageless ocean.

Jacob was becoming more interested in learning about the Yonaguni monument.  At first, he wasn't much interested in a monument in the ocean in Southern Japan.  Jacob had heard about hundreds of megaliths around the world like Stonehendge; 60 ton Megalith rocks in England balanced on three smaller rocks; and Dolmens in Iraq, Ireland, England and Germany.   The rock structures seemed like a mysterious puzzle deposited by an ancient civilization long ago.  Their mysteries remained buried in time.

Jacob asked, Dad, what are some of the other interesting findings on Yonaguni?

Jacob wanted to learn all he could about the mysterious monument.  He wanted to learn if there was any buried treasure associated with the monument.  His excitement was written all over his young, stubbled face.  The monument did not seem like a natural formation caused by waves of the ocean or volcanic activity in the region--sheer rock at right angles creating natural walkways that looped up the monument.

Scott said, On top of the monument, researchers found holes.  They think that the holes could have been used for placing poles for a tent.

Dad do you have any idea why a tent would be placed on a monument that took thousands of men working years to create?

The tent does not seem to have been placed for habitation purposes, but it holds still a deeper mystery.

Scott added, I have a few theories.  I will explain them over time.  But for now, I just wanted to show you the monument.

Chapter 3

Jacob had read articles on the internet claiming that Yonaguni was built by aliens.  The aliens depicted looked like bugs and had antenae on their heads.  Their language was a series of clicking sounds, and they had protective powers to keep humans from hurting them.  Other people had claimed that the Altantians created the mysterious grey monument.  Yet others guessed that the Egyptians must have created the monument because they were adept in building the pyramids.

Jacob asked his father, Dad, what do you know about the claim by some people that aliens created the Yonaguni Monument?

Scott knew Jacob was sincere in his question, but he had to fight the urge to laugh.  Scott couldn't stop the impulse and burst into laughter for a moment.   He quickly regained his composure and curbed his amusement over the question.

Jacob, sensing his father thought the idea was absurd, replied, Dad, I don't believe aliens created the monument, but why would people think aliens from another world would travel here and create a monument?

Scott replied, Myth is a powerful method for people to explain the unknown.  When I grew up, the popular myths were the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot and Extraterrestrials.  None of these myths were founded in fact.  Numerous hoaxes were exposed by people trying to create believable scenarios of the origin of these monsters.

The modern-day myths were recently promoted by NASA that red dwarf suns would have a six-in-a-hundred chance of having a planet capable of supporting life; and given that the planets were closer to the dwarfs and the dwarf was one third the luminance of the sun, that life could exist.

It is interesting that science claims that life exists on these planets and the life forms are human.  They don't claim the life forms have human form because of a creator; instead, they claim evolution produced the best surviving design:   humanoid.  The observation yields the conclusion that form in the universe has both beauty and function that is both intelligent and frequent.  Somewhere, on some planet exist thinking beings that function by eating, producing food and reproducing offspring, the pattern of life.

Scott continued, We have to assume, if these beings are capable of interstellar travel, that they possess great intelligence and technological abilities.  Such a being would possess technology a million times more powerful than what we have currently.  A technologically superior being comes to earth for the purpose of exploring.  He discovers the earth populated with people.  He is curious and studies them.  Perhaps he becomes amused by the people and interacts with a few of them.  There is no reason to believe that he would need anything from the earthlings.  He does not need their labor.  He has technology to provide for all his needs:  shelter, food, protection and transportation.  He has no reason to enslave the people.  Only governments enslave people.  He is not a government.  He is an explorer.

Scott continued, Once the alien is discovered by the military.  He is hunted down to be captured, dissected and analyzed.  The research will be used to determine if the alien shares similar DNA, presents biological risk or his technology can be used as a weapon.  The alien becomes a 'bug in a jar'.  The alien believes he could come to earth acting all cocky; but instead, he ends up meeting force with force.  The alien could swat aside the initial advances by the military to capture him.  However, with each failure, more force is added by the military until the alien is overcome or has to leave.  If the alien has the technology to be evasive and escape, the military treats the phenomenon or alien as a nuisance rather than a threat.  They monitor the alien's activity, supervise his activity and document his behavior.  They study the bug's behavior with a scientific mind.

Jacob replied, "Dad, suppose the alien visitor was a discoverer. Suppose he felt pain and pleasure like we do.   I think the alien would realize within a few centuries, people on earth would be capable of journeying to the stars.  Perhaps these people of a future generation would visit the alien's
