Ep 10. Japanese Megaliths & the Mu Empire

In this episode of Ancient Civilizations, we explore the mysterious Japanese megaliths and the lost Mu Empire. The megaliths, which date back to the Jomon period (14,000-300 BCE), are massive stone structures that were erected for unknown purposes. Some theories suggest they were used as burial chambers or observatories, while others believe they had some sort of religious or astronomical significance.

We take a closer look at some of the most impressive megalith sites in Japan, including the Ishi-no-Hoden stone chamber, which is said to be the largest megalithic structure in Japan, and the Oyu Stone Circles, which contain dozens of massive stones arranged in circular and horseshoe shapes.

As we explore these ancient sites, we also delve into the legend of the Mu Empire, an ancient civilization that supposedly existed in the Pacific Ocean and was said to be so technologically advanced that it could move mountains. While many historians have dismissed the legend as pure myth, recent discoveries of underwater ruins and ancient artifacts are starting to lend some credibility to the idea that the Mu Empire may have actually existed.

We travel to various locations across the Pacific to investigate the Mu Empire's supposed influence on other cultures, including the Polynesians and the Egyptians. We also examine the scientific evidence for a lost continent in the Pacific and explore how this potential discovery could provide new insights into the history of the region.

Throughout the episode, we hear from experts and historians who provide their own theories and perspectives on these mysterious ancient civilizations. We also see stunning footage of the beautiful landscapes and ancient ruins, bringing these long-lost cultures to life.

Join us as we journey back in time to uncover the secrets of the Japanese megaliths and the lost Mu Empire, and explore the fascinating history of these once-great civilizations.
