Yonaguni Monument

This is something I just found out about.  I first came across it when I was reading some fringy stuff about Lemuria, so this is a discovery that has been adopted by certain proponents of, ummm, "unconventional" theories.  It is interesting in its own right, regardless of your perspective.  They have found a large stone structure under the water near Japan.  It definitely has the appearance of being man-made, although it is officially designated as a natural feature.  This link will give you an interview with a Japanese professor who believes it is man-made.  If it is man-made, it would indicate that human civilization goes back to the last ice age.  This would put the earliest known civilization in the Pacific, and not in the Indus Valley or Mesopotamia.  Be sure to watch the video.  Also, read up on this topic online and let me know what you think.
