Japan stone relics

For the longest time by far, humanity has reserved his biggest and most creative efforts to the ceremonials associated with live beliefs, we now usually call religion. So takning this as a fact, the simplest explanation for the puprose of the Yonaguni monumnet is that it has some ceremonial purpose, and probably of the religious kind. If this were true, it is likely that some remains of this culture has survived at other places. With this in mind, the World Wide Web has been searched for such signs, taking the name of the holy stone at Yonaguni, Goshintai, as an example. In fact, goshintai is also a general term for holy stone. The first gallery is from a tourist site, taking pictures going up the Nakatsugawa river (enlargements to come).

Several of the huge boulders that form the cave have image features. To ensure yourself that the possibilities are there, click here for one of the clearest examples.
