The Yonaguni Mystery: Man-Made or Natural Formation 英会話・英語　アミック

Hello, Everyone.

I really love a good historical mystery.  I often spend my free time watching documentaries on the Internet.  I especially enjoy watching ones about the ancient world.  Not too long ago, I found out about the Yonaguni Mystery.

Off of Yonaguni Island, there is a mysterious rock formation 26 meters under the surface.  What makes this formation interesting, is that there is a ongoing debate about the origins of this formation.  Some people believe it to be the remains of an ancient structure, while others believe it to be just a freak natural occurrence.  There are many unique natural formations around the world, like the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland.  

I’m not sure which I believe, but finds like this one help keep our imaginations alive.  I also think it’s great for getting more people interested in the past, enjoying the outdoors, and encouraging people to do some sleuth work of their own.  Which do you think it is, man-made or natural?  If you ever have the chance to go to Yonaguni and are interested in diving, please check it out!
