Kenji: Well, I can understand all the excitement. It’s true the rocks look like they have
YONAGUNI, JAPAN
been carved. The edges are so straight . . .

Pam: I agree. And I’m sure I saw some steps. They seemed to lead to the top of the
monument.

Michaela: Hmmm. I’m not sure I agree. The rocks looked natural to me.
Kenji: What about the head-shaped rock? Did you see that, Michaela?

Michaela: No, I had to go back to the surface because I had a problem with my diving
equipment. I was afraid I didn’t have enough air.
Pam: I’m sorry you didn’t see it.

Kenji: I know there are some Japanese scientists who agree with us, Pam.
Michaela: But the Japanese government doesn’t agree. Don’t forget the monument is officially

considered a natural site.

Divers explore the Yonaguni Monument
