Underwater pyramids?

In this blog I am going to argue the fact that these underwater structures found off the south shore of Okinawa as well as other places in the area are in fact man made.

The first site I want to look at is here. This site contains an article by a man named Frank Joseph, a publisher for Ancient American Magazine. In it he poses many possible views as to how this could be true. For example there are many right angles that were made too perfectly. No where else has there ever been a natural formation like these. This makes it much more likely for them to be man-made than anything else. Also these pyramids have many more structures, like roads, that make it seem like an ancient civilization once existed there. I'd suggest reading the article to find out more.

The next site is here. This site contains some more interesting information. There was a huge human head sculpture that was found off the southeast Yonaguni Island coast. Although it has been eroded because it has been underwater for such a long time the facial features are still distinguishable. Also there were some ancient hieroglyphs that were found. This shows that there must have been an advanced civilization that lived there.

The final site I have to look at is here. The article is by Laura Lee, a talk show host. In it are some interesting reasons as to why the underground structures are real. The site near the Japanese city of Naha is Okinawa. It contains what looks like a wall with a right angle block. This appears to be what looks like a castle wall. Also the architecture of this wall seems similar to the style of some nearby castles located on the island. The other site that is getting a lot of attention is off the southern island of Yonaguni. This extensive site contains a platform that is composed of five irregular layers which resemble ceremonial, terraced platforms. Also there appears to be what looks like a road the surrounds this site. The argument provided by Prof. Masaaki Kimura, a marine geologist with the University of the Ryukyus, as to why these structures must be man made is that if nature had carved these structures then there would be some debris that would be around the site. At the site, however, there is no debris. Another interesting find is that there seems to be holes in the stone structure that appear to be there for the purpose of holding some wooden structure. As to why these sites sank into the ocean there are a few possible theories. One is that they were flooded when the ice caps melted at the end of the last Ice Age. Another theory is that seeing the sites are so close to the Ring of Fire, tectonic activity might have caused subsidence of the land. Still another theory is that it was a combination of the two.

Loaded with facts! I too wrote on the pyramids but completed the assignment differently...i like the way you did it more. The one thing I noticed was that instead of writing "here," you should have put the actual source name...."The first site I want to discuss is Atlantis Rising Online website....." just a thought.
