As one of the resident geologists in the sub, I'm gonna a be the first to stick my cock on the block and say, this doesn't actually look natural, it looks man made.
If Yonaguni is evidence of geological processes, i'll slam my cock into a volcano. The only reason I think it's not is because when I saw a geologist down there trying to explain everything, he had a hard time explaining where the debris went from some of the cornices and cleared tops. As well as what appeared to be patterns of ditches carved into "pathways" all over the rock. There should have been rocks on the path underneath where it was "broken off", if it was geological there would have been the broken off stones clearly visible. Something else interesting is that it's semi-isolated, like unconnected to anything but the sea floor. The rock is the same as the rocks on the shoreline, so I understand the geological processes it could have endured based on the environment (under water) and the actual rock type, and it could account for SOME of the features, but I can say as far as i'm sure, not ALL of the features are geological, so I think it can be compared to something like Octopus rock or Spaceship rock on the shore, inland Japan. Massive stones the size of houses, quarried away from bedrock, possibly moved a short distance, and then set into by stone workers to create whatever the hell those things are.
WV here. We have literally HUNDREDS of large (read Gigantic) rock formations on the ridges and peaks that make no sense. They are for the most part undocumented too. We have always wondered how they got there.
It's unreal to me how prevalent these megalithic stones are! If I had been into this at a young age, I could have visited all these so easily as I'm from mid Illinois! Pretty cool 😎
Reminds me of "Americas Stonehenge", in Salem, NH a little bit. The one in Salem is much wider though, with more stones farther outwards in a circle, aside from the main settlement and viewing platform.
So much mystery about these sites. So amazing.
Were you able to go out farther from that circle? Were there stones out there as well?
The hill has acquired an air of mystery. Various explanations are given for how the stones got there, such as it being a Native American site for ceremonies or a cabin's foundation. But according to a naturalist, it is most probable that early settlers quarried the stones and then left them behind when they moved on to other locations. Located near the evacuated ghost town Elkinsville, Indiana.

Ooooh...is Elkinsville the town that was evacuated and then flooded to make a reservoir? I haven't been there but used to live close and heard really creepy stories about it.
Beginning to look around the woods in mass more carefully, I think there’s a whole lot more below us that we think. I wanna start diggin around. Lotta strange old granite rock foundations and walls far from anywhere. Obsessed with snoopin
When i was a kid, my mom and step-dad made something very similar to this on a small hill on our property. He moved most the stones himself with minimal help. I'm positive that the next people who see that little hill will be bewildered because even when we lived on the property it looked very old once it started getting overgrown.
I visited the one in salem nh and what got me was, they had cut down strips of trees down the hillside along all the alignments so visitors could view the solstice alignments etc. Am i to believe that the ancient people who built these really cleared a hillside of trees in order to have a functional site? If these were built when archeologists say they were, the hills wouldve been covered in old growth! Hell no, i think these were built when the hills were tree free, after the glaciers melted.
I believe these ancient megalithic structures have to do with aligning with the earths energy grid: https://youtu.be/wprRxwCXmPA

Few hundred years ago:
'Yooo, Crazy Buck, let's throw those stones over there. Just make sure to form a circle, so we can have a permanent seats for our campfire. I'm sick of rebuilding rotting wooden benches every year.
Now:
Energy grid.
Or there was a reason they chose those spots to circle their rocks around 😂
The willful ignorance of people is very amusing for a high strangeness sub lmfao
I visited twice while attending IU; first time I got lost and had to literally use my phone's compass to find my car and the second time I found it. The trail is not marked well, at one point the instructions I had found said to look for a doll in a tree. Overall though, the hike up was quite the trek in terms of Indiana hiking, but really enjoyable going up with lots of wildlife. The second you reach the top/this area, all noise stops. I couldn't hear birds or rustling or anything of that sort. On top of that, the air felt stagnant. I had friends who wanted me to take them once I was able to locate it, but I never had the desire to go back because of how eerie it was.

As one of the resident geologists in the sub, I'm gonna a be the first to stick my cock on the block and say, this doesn't actually look natural, it looks man made.
I'm also gonna slam my cock here on the table and state for the record that I'm not qualified to say anything other than this shit is wild.
Tried to slam my cock down but all I got was a soft tap.
Take my laughy upvote bruh, and my poor man's metal 🏅
Tried to slam my cock down but all I got was a soft fap FTFY.
I'm no geologist but those there, are rocks.
Also slamming my cock down. That’s all though.
I think that I’ve seriously hurt myself trying to participate and need to go to a hospital.
Directions unclear. Slammed cock in door. Not sure why. Results: I've made a serious mistake.
I'm just here for the cock.
🤣🤣
Why?
While you're here. Does Yonaguni look natural to you? It's the under water structure off the cost of Japan.
Yeah it does, when you take it in context with the surrounding geology if the area.
If Yonaguni is evidence of geological processes, i'll slam my cock into a volcano. The only reason I think it's not is because when I saw a geologist down there trying to explain everything, he had a hard time explaining where the debris went from some of the cornices and cleared tops.

Please send coordinates, would love to visit
Well billions of years ago, the solar system formed. The rest is history.
It's unreal to me how prevalent these megalithic stones are! If I had been into this at a young age, I could have visited all these so easily as I'm from mid Illinois! Pretty cool 😎
I’m from Indiana originally and we didn’t even have a Target, it would have been way cool to know there was something like this in driving distance!

Indeed

Surrounded by old growth trees which I just looked it up and means it’s at least older than 120 years at minimum.
How can you tell those are old growth?
Feel free to share at r/AlternativeHistory as well
I live very close to this, I’ll have to go check it out this spring
Yes please do so! Take some amazing pictures and post it. We need people to bring In awareness like that. That would be so awesome
It's a very vertical hike for Indiana standards. Edited to add, stop at the Story Inn in Story Indiana for lunch
I live pretty close too, maybe an hour away. Going to try to get there soon since the weather is finally starting to stay above freezing.
Thanks for this post. We camp and hike close to there, Lake Monroe area, now we have a new place to explore.
As someone older and will probably never get to see this in person...thanks OP for the pics and information. 👍🏻
I say either Amish or early natives, nobody else is gonna do that work
I slightly lean towards that as well. They just look like quarried rock.

Isn’t this where “coffin rock” was for The Blair Witch Project?
Yes
confirmed megaliths or spheroidal weathering?

Not an expert but definitely has the appearance of a giants fire pit 🥸
Glacial erratics.

Willful ignorance? Your suspension of disbelief is ridiculous
You are literally in a high strangeness sub, you must be lost
That doesn’t mean you think like a moron
Why do you feel so insecure that you need to attack me?
Please just stop
Stop what? Learning about ancient science? 😂 this sub is called high strangeness lmfao
Not impressed.
Is there any Lidar data available of the surroundings? That could reveal more interesting stuff.
Looks a bit like the ['hunebedden'](https://www.visitdrenthe.com/culture-heritage/hunebeds) in my country.
I visited twice while attending IU; first time I got lost and had to literally use my phone's compass to find my car and the second time I found it.
