From Ni many di : ers visit Yonaguni to see merhead sharks. In 1986, a local diver, Kihachiro Aratake, was looking for harks about 18 m (60 ft.) underwater when he discovered an enormous rock shaped like a rectangle. It was about the siz oftwo football fields. There were hu e steps on the rock, perfect right angles, and long, straight passages. Was this really just a rock? Or was itsomething mor: Masaaki Kimura, a marine geologist, traveled to the island to exaggine the discovery. At first he thought the formations were natural. But then he noticed shapes -vings on the rock. Masaaki now believes that these rock formations are the emains of an important city more than = 000 years old. He thinks that it sank in ahuge tsunami about 2,000 years ago. Masaaki has identified the ruins of a castle, several temples, and a large stadium in the rock formations. Some scientists disagree with Kimura Robert Schoch, also a geologist, thinks that earthquakes caused these rock formations and the “carvings” are just natural scratches on the rock. “I do not believe itis a human-made structure,” says Robert. “Itis absolutely incredible, and well worth seeing, butitis a natural structure.” Perhaps we will never know the truth about Yonaguni, But one thing is for sure: i's an amazing place to explore. 1857 105 gee 1934 3860 isto | Rovert Bld cy Sisoves te r aie teepatpert ot | RS TON Cameron ter tees Conjons IT exooaion iepest oro {ist person op an underwater: worlds ee | ‘alone tothe valley in Califomia, the Marana I i it important © Read.
