Egyptian construction defies all physics: Ben van Kerkwyk

An 80-foot stepped pyramid off Japan may predate every civilization we can name

Beckham Langford, Morning Overview (MSN) June 2026

What else rests under Earth's vast oceans?

Off the Japanese coast of Yonaguni Island, divers have mapped an 80‑foot stepped formation. Some researchers are treating it as a possible submerged pyramid, others as a fractured slab of natural bedrock.

A scientific team applied surface irradiation dating and radiocarbon analysis to samples from the site and reported a formation age of about 10,000 years, raising the possibility that the structure predates every named civilization now in school textbooks.

The age estimate has turned a local curiosity into a live question about when organized construction first appeared in what is now Japan.

Why an 80-foot stepped pyramid off Japan matters now

.

The central tension is no longer whether an amazing structure exists at Yonaguni, but what its age and origin say about early humans around the Westernmost Point of Japan.

If the stepped blocks at Iseki Point (Kaitei Iseki) formed around 10,000 years ago, as one scientific abstract reports, then any deliberate shaping would have happened long before the rise of states in the Middle East like Mesopotamia or Egypt's Nile Valley.

• [But this dating would place it long after Gobekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe, and other sites like the pyramids of Egypt and Sudan/Nubia, which are possibly 25,000+ years old, to make no mention of Plato's mythical Atlantis or Mexico's Aztlán].

Location of Japan's Ryukyu Islands

That gap is what makes the site have global relevance rather than making it merely a regional diving attraction. The age estimate comes from samples collected at Iseki Point on the seafloor and analyzed with a surface irradiation dating method, according to an ETDE/OSTI bibliographic record.

The same record states that 14C age determination of attached fossils was used alongside irradiation data to estimate when the submarine ruins formed, and it gives a figure of about 10,000 years for that formation age.

Those numbers anchor the debate: If the structure is that old, any human role would push organized stonework in the region far earlier than currently documented...

Additional context comes from work that links the Yonaguni structure to the wider history of the Ryukyu Islands. A study cited through a digital object identifier treats the site within the paleogeography of the region and references “Paleogeography of Ryukyu Islands and” the submarine ruins off Yonaguni, Okinawa, Japan, according to the record for Kasekiken.

By placing the formation within a broader reconstruction of sea levels and island positions, that research frames the Iseki Point structure as one data point in a changing coastal system rather than as an isolated anomaly. More:

Summer Solstice: summer begins (6/21)

It occurs to us that this whole "summer" thing is a social construct. It is. What does "summer" mean. There are all those associations and connotations, but everyone knows it's when the sun's out, the clothes are mostly off, school is on break, and there's going to be a vacation, road trip, partying, and just plain old hanging around, maybe making some money.

(Stonehenge Dronescapes) Stonehenge Summer Solstice 2026 field setup

It's a break from the routine. It's time away from the prison of the school system and the [bleep] warden who thinks s/he runs the place. Think of Project X or American Graffiti. Ah, summer, there's nothing like it. And this is Southern California, so all the more reason.

We say summer begins when school lets out. That was a week or two ago. Like gender assignment, who needs an objective measure? Well, many people do. And so we have the solstice, the astronomical measure that seems so scientific. But every American knows that summer begins on Memorial Day (May 25); that's the social reality overriding whatever others try to say is only objective and nothing else. It's both.

It runs through Labor Day (the unofficial end), a fake American holiday to remove Americans from the worldwide Labor Movement and May Day (May 1st), which idealistic socialists fight for, collectivists dream of, and New Age communists and college Marxists cheer for.

Maya map of the universe found in Mexico

Step pyramid at Comalcalco archeological site in Tabasco, Mexico (wiki)

A monumental complex built by the Maya of Mesoamerica (Tabasco, Mexico) an estimated 3,000 years ago was modeled on a map of the cosmos (universe), new fieldwork has revealed.

  

Buddhist cosmological mandala layout

A detailed survey of the Aguada Fénix site reveals that not only was the monument significantly larger than initial surveys suggested – laid out in the shape of a cross with axes measuring 5.6 and 4.7 miles (9 and 7.5 kilometers) – but it was also designed as a cosmogram, a kind of Buddhist mandala, an architecture symbolizing the cosmos (Buddhist cosmology, Earthly realms).

What will I wear when I visit? (Crystal Q)

What's even more remarkable about the structure is that the site contains none of the trappings of social inequality, such as elite residences or sculptures of rulers. This strongly implies that egalitarian cultures were capable of monumental building works without the application of coercive force through a stratified social hierarchy ruled by a king or queen.

• Before now, the Maya site of Seibal was thought to be the oldest ceremonial center, dating back to around 950 BCE

The Maya cosmos mapped out on Earth?

The discovery of Aguada Fénix by way of LiDAR surveys, in the Mexican state of Tabasco near the Gulf of Mexico, was fascinating for a number of reasons.

The first was its size; it was the largest Maya site ever found, even going by the more modest initial estimate of 1.4 kilometers along its longest axis. And it wasn't hidden in the forest, as so many lost Mesoamerican (Mexican), Central American, and South American structures are.

It was under a populated area. Plus, there was the aforementioned lack of evidence for social hierarchy. Largest and oldest Maya monument ever found discovered under Mexico

Tartaria's healing plant, worldwide towers

(Tartaria Vault) Why they destroyed the only plant that healed every illness

• Silphium (magic plant also called laserwort)
• Silphium (genus)
• What happened to Vedic "soma" and what was its magic ingredient? (DMT, cannabis, blue lotus, fermented mare's milk, psilocybin?)

Silphium: Ptolemaic Gov. Magas (c. 300-282 BC)

(Tartaria Vault, April 20, 2026) What explains how a plant — one celebrated by every major civilization in the ancient Mediterranean, documented by the greatest physicians and naturalists of the classical world, minted onto coins and carved into temple walls — was allowed to vanish from the earth entirely?

Silphium, Evans, Palace of Minos, 1921

Within a century of Rome absorbing the one city whose entire identity was built around it. Within the same historical window that saw decentralized healing knowledge consolidated under centralized imperial authority.

The standard explanation — overgrazing, agricultural mismanagement, the careless exhaustion of a finite resource — collapses when you examine what the record actually shows.

A civilization that moved species across continents, that preserved botanical specimens of far lesser value, that had every motivation, and every technical capability, to cultivate the most medically significant plant in the known world but didn't.

Heracleum sphondylium: Silphium?

As I investigated the deeper record — from the Cyrenian monopoly to the Roman absorption to the fragmentation of the alchemical knowledge streams — a pattern emerged that I could not dismiss:

• Silphium
• Soma
• Theriac
• Kyphi.

The same template repeats across civilizations and centuries -- not the loss of the plants but the targeted erasure of the how, the preparation methods, the compound formulations, the clinical specifics.

The name survived. The reverence survived. The utility was removed because here's what the disappearance of Silphium also did. It didn't just end one plant's story. It may have closed an entire system — decentralized, accessible, not dependent on any central authority for its production or its knowledge base.

Weighing and loading of Silphium at Cyrene

What replaced it was a medical world organized around scarcity, credentialing, and control -- not destroyed outright, not denied, just made inaccessible.

And the generations that might have asked the right questions were handed a different story entirely. This investigation asks whether Silphium went extinct or whether it was erased.

Some historians believe that Neak Pean represents Anavatapta [5]: 174 , a mythical lake in the Himalayas whose waters are thought to cure all illnesses [6]: 124–125 [7].

The name is derived from the sculptures of snakes (nāgas, reptilians, dragons, serpents) running around the base of the temple structure, neak being the Khmer translation of the Sanskrit word naga.

Ireland's prehistoric site, Europe's largest?

We've more and older archeology than England?

It seems that ancient Irish tales of "hollow hills" (underground caverns in mountains, as in Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King" where ogres and supernatural beings dwell) are true. There are hillforts throughout the Emerald Isle. And the largest ever found in Northern Europe has just been uncovered, and it's massive.

Ireland discovery: the largest site ever

What, our pre-Christian roots go way back?

A vast prehistoric settlement hidden in the hills of County Wicklow is forcing archaeologists to rethink how people lived in Ireland more than 2,700 years ago.

What began as a closer look at a single hillfort has revealed a sprawling complex of ramparts, houses, and enclosures that specialists now say may be the largest clustered village ever identified in Ireland and Britain.

The scale of the discovery, and the suggestion that it could be the biggest prehistoric site of its kind in Northern Europe, is already reshaping debates about when urban-style living first emerged on the Atlantic edge of the continent.

We Irish Paddies stand with Palestinians!

The Wicklow hill that turned into a mega‑site

Baltinglass hillfort archeological site (monumentalireland.ie)

The story starts with a familiar landmark in the Irish landscape, a hillfort in Baltinglass that locals have long known as a dramatic feature above the County Wicklow countryside.

Archaeologists had catalogued it as one of several prominent fortified sites in the region, but new survey work has shown that the hilltop is only the core of a much larger complex.

What once looked like a single enclosure now appears to sit within a dense cluster of prehistoric houses and additional earthworks that extend across the slopes and surrounding ridges. More

Buddhism's biggest pyramid: Borobudur

Afghanistan has the world's largest Buddha statues (the largest, a reclining figure, still hidden for its protection) because that's where the Buddha is from (Saka/Shakya/Scythia, not Nepal and not India, which did not even exist as a country or empire until centuries later when Buddhist Emperor Ashoka united disparate kingdoms and various janapadas or clan territories). It may well hold an even larger temple.

Jonathan Rinderknech arrested: ChatGPT, French rap, and Uber: Palisades Fire suspect's trail

Neither of these suspects is Jon Rinderknech

The Palisades Fire was one of two major infernos that hit Los Angeles on Oct. 7, 2025. The other was the Eaton Fire in the foothills of Altadena, which was caused by Edison, likely a negligent utility that left its inoperable transmission tower standing for decades and uncared for, making it a known fire hazard, according to attorney Mikal Watts (lafirejustice.com). Until now the means by which the historic winds that day managed to burn down the ritzy coastal areas of Los Angeles have been debated. The fire he set, the Lachman Fire, has been blamed on homeless individuals and fireworks. But authorities are now saying Jonathan Rinderknech, 29, a former Palisades resident now living in Florida, committed arson a week earlier and that those flames were never fully extinguished, coming to life with the strong winds.
