Yakushima Megaliths

MegalithicAsia

Carved megalithic stones on Yakushima Island, off the southern tip of Japan's main island chain. Features include a precisely rectangular cut stone sitting atop a larger worked rock, additional bread-loaf-shaped blocks reminiscent of the laser-cut appearance of stones at AlUla (Saudi Arabia) and Puma Punku (Bolivia). Local lore connects the stones to the legendary land of Mu. Mainstream archaeology is silent on these features.

Look Closer — this site carries open questions: stones heavier than the period's tools could lift; geometry beyond period explanation.
