To some, it is possibly the oldest man-made structure in the world. To others, just because it looks “man-made” doesn’t mean it actually is:
the Yonaguni Monument

The Yonaguni monument
The Yonaguni monument is a massive sunken structure, named after one of the many islands along the south coast of Japan where the underwater ruins were found. It was discovered by Japanese scuba diver Kihachiro Aratake in March 1985.

Pictures and Video
The site consists of what appears to be massive Inca-like structures and includes a face statue, an alter (or stage), “carved” steps, flat terraces, platforms and much more. Have a look at these pictures. What do you think? Man made or not?

8000 years old
Some scientists believe that the Yonaguni monument was a “real city” 8000 years ago, and that by the end of the last ice age - when the ice melted and sea levels rose - it was covered under water.

If it really is that old and “man”-made, then history books need to be rewritten…

The legend… and CNN…
Just like Atlantis, Lemuria and Mu are interchangeable names given to what is believed to be a lost and sunken land or civilisation. CNN mistakenly referred to Mu as the lost world of Muin. In a recent issue of Australia’s New Dawn Magazine, author Brian Haughton wrote a very comprehensive article about the lost land of Mu. You can read it online here.
