The Yonaguni formations really are intriguing - hard to believe they're not manmade but some think they're natural.

Interestingly, Wiki says that, "The local language, which is incomprehensible to Japanese speakers, and even to speakers of other Ryukyu languages is still spoken by a few elderly inhabitants." That could mean that it's a strong dialect, hard to understand, or it might be an unknown Chinese or even Ainu dialect (or a lost language althogether). Not sure if the Ainu were that far south though.


Have you SEEN them? There is a perfect turtle cut-out, steps, a horse-shoe shape wih an avenue. Now, as a geologist, I appreciate the cleave of the rock is at about 30degrees but to suggest thats its totally natural seems pretty insane. I understand that it COULD happen, but only in the way that 80% of the stones on this website could have ended up in the positions they are in, and end up carved with all the cup and ring marks naturally...
