A trip to the huge megaliths of Japan

One of the goals of the trip was to detect traces. highly developed civilization in modern Japan. Such there are objects, they are concentrated in the Kansai region, 60 km from Kyoto, in a place called Asuka.

It was quite difficult to find these objects, even with a map, since some of them are at a considerable distance from each other (in the mountains, forests, and even among the fields).

Local Japanese do not speak English, many are not familiar with megaliths in the area. We were helped by children and taxi drivers who like always omnipresent, – showed the way. Sometimes I had to catch taxi to find the object within a radius of 1 km from the village.

So we found the first largest megalith of Japan “Masuda Iwafun. “On this sign, the village ends and begins mountain multi-kilometer bamboo windbreak in which to get lost in 5 minutes.

On top of the megalith were niches, which, incidentally, were perfect cast, carved, melted … (choose the right word yourself)! No traces of rough manual labor, with a chisel, chisel It was. The material of Masoud Iwafun is granite, as it is written in the description near the megalith, and I myself, when I was extracting a rock sample, in order it took about 30 minutes. It’s hard to leave a scratch on the breed!

Since rain water has accumulated in niches, it seemed possible, it was decided to measure the depth of niches using a bamboo trunk. This experiment can be viewed in video version of the report.

Famous researcher and writer Graham Hancock also visited Masuda Iwafun, as reflected in his blog. Next on the list we have there was a megalith of Sakafuneshi, for some reason the locals believed that with the help of this granite block, very technically rugged for many thousands of years back, did sake! I wonder who could design such distillery moonshine for distillation of alcohol ?!

Asuki’s next artifact is the megalith Devil’s Pot, which consists of two parts. One part of a granite monument fell from hillock, the second plate is popularly called a cutting board. Itself the name local peasants explain by the fact that in their understanding such lumps could only be moved and used by demons, people don’t under the force. Megaliths bypass … just in case.
