Japan's Hidden Atlantis: The 5,000-Year-Old Underwater City

Submerged just off the coast of Yonaguni Jima is Japan's own Atlantis, a sprawling underwater city believed to be at least 5,000 years old. First discovered by a diver in 1995, the city was initially believed to be nothing more than a bizarre series of natural rock formations, all of which mysteriously featured perfect right angles and straight lines. Later searches revealed everything from a large stone gateway to carved stairways and streets to vaulting towers. Believed to be the former city of the Jomon people, experts theorize that the city didn't exactly "fall" into the sea like the fabled Atlantis, but rather became submerged as sea levels rose over thousands of years. #yonaguni #underwatercity #lostcity #ancientruins #japan #atlantis #sunkencity #mysterious #underwaterexploration #archaeology

Climate activists should use this 😂. This is what your city will look like if you stop taking care of your environment
