Lost city of Mu discovered: The Asian Atlantis

An underwater rock formation site off the Island of Yonaguni Jima, Japan is said to be an ancient city that sunk during an earthquake 2-3,000 years ago. Masaaki Kimura, the geologist that puts out this claim is convinced that the underwater site is a 5,000 year old city that might just be the Lost city of Mu, which is the equivalent of the ‘Asian Atlantis’.

Mr Kamura believes the city had a castle, a shrine, a triumphal arch, Moai-like statues found on Easter Island and even a coliseum once upon a time, when the city was above water. - Channel 4

However, skeptics such as Robert Schoch, a professor of science and mathematics who has dived at the site believe the rock formation are formed naturally. He said:

“It’s basic geology and classic stratigraphy for sandstones, which tend to break along planes and give you these very straight edges, particularly in an area with lots of faults and tectonic activity.” - National Geographic

In rebuttal, Mr Kamura says that some of the rock are shaped too similar to animals to be natural and must have been man-made. He further stated that the ruins must have looked like an ancient Roman city!
