Discovered in 1986 by a diving instructor named Kihachiro Aratake, until now experts are still researching whether this pyramid was formed naturally or man-made.
The Yonaguni Pyramid Formation is rectangular with 90 degree angles with straight and terraced walls.

Many researchers believe that the Pyramid of Yonaguni was built when the area was above sea level about 10,000 years ago. But not everyone thinks the same.
Masaaki Kimura, a marine geologist at Ryukyus University in Japan has dived more than 100 times to the site over the past 20 years just to measure its formation. He believes that these are the remains of a city that was sunk by an earthquake.
Masaaki Kimura identified 10 Yonaguni structures and five related structures on the main island of kinawa, with the ruins covering an area of 300 meters x 150 meters.
“I think it’s very difficult to explain their origins as natural, because a large amount of evidence of human influence exists on the structure,” Kimura said.
This researcher said that the Pyramid of Yonaguni is a large complex-looking, monolithic, pyramidal structure that is located at a depth of 25 meters. He called the pyramid as if it came from the Asian continent, because the pyramid resembles the ancient Okinawan king.
He also showed other evidence that confirmed that it was man-made, namely two round holes and a straight path, a small hole that was interpreted as an attempt to separate parts of the rock.
In contrast to Masaaki Kimura, professor of science and mathematics from Boston University, Dr. Robert M. Schoch said that the Yonaguni Pyramid formed naturally.
“I’m not sure that some of the main features or structures are man-made, but they are all natural,” he wrote in the book Voices of the Rocks.
However, Schoch did not rule out the possibility that this monument was made by humans. “We also have to consider the possibility that the Monument Yonaguni are fundamentally natural structures that were used, enhanced and modified by humans in ancient times,” he concluded.
