Image caption

FMC00.214H illustrates how Yonaguni Monument, approx. 100 kilometres east of Taiwan and discovered only in 1986, lies only some 30m below current sea level. Simulation of lowered sea levels shows (map by NASA, below middle) shows that an ‘arc’ land connection, currently under water, once connected Taiwan with south Japan, and was in fact a seaside mountain range. The map on the right below is at some 3000 m level below the current sea level, see also Schema FMC00.214G.

Just like doggerland on that Schema, these images build an appreciation for how cultures inhabited different parts of the Earth between the Atlantean epoch and today, and much remains unknown of the last 10.000 years of our current Postatlantean epoch and the first cultural ages (eg period 8000 to 5000 BC).
