The Yonaguni Monument was found in the 1980s by a local diver and shares similarities with other global formations due to its distinct edges and flat surfaces. Whether the Yonaguni Monument is man-made or natural is a matter of discussion. Despite having arched entrances, parallel angles, and little tunnels, the monument is thought to be natural rather than man-made by many scientists. People continue to believe in the fabled origin story of a Japanese Atlantis despite its proven falsity.
