Monolith named Ishi-no-Hoden

A hundred kilometers west of Asuka Park, near Takasago, there is an object standing beside the rock massif, measuring 5,7 × 6,4 × 7,2 meters and weighing about 500 to 600 tons. Ishi-no-Hoden is a monolith, somehow semi-finished product, ie a block that has remained in place since its production and which has clear signs that it has not yet been fully completed.

How the monolith looks

On one of the vertical surfaces it has a truncated pyramidal protrusion - the result is a strong impression that the object lies on the side. Such a position seems strange at first glance. The fact is that this object was made quite simply - from the edge of the rock massif by removing the surrounding rock, and this remaining piece of rock was modified to the above-described, unusual geometric shape.

Location Ishi-no-Hoden aside is the only one in which it was possible to guarantee the desired shape of the object and, on the other hand, it minimized the cost of manpower to remove the rock around it.

However, even with such a minimization of work, much has to be done. As stated in the available sources, it is estimated that the volume of processed rock is about 400 cubic meters and its weight is about 1000 tonnes. Although the volume of extracted rock appears to be much larger (up to two and a half times), Ishi-no-Hoden is very impressive. It's hard to photograph it all. Next to the standing two-storey shinto shrine, it looks like a simple light building besides this stone mass.

Sacred monolith

The temple was built here because the megalithic block is considered sacred and worshiped it from antiquity. In accordance with the traditions of Shinto, Ishi-no-Hoden is tied with a rope with hanging tassels. There is also a small altar, which is also a place where you can turn to the stone - the spirit of the stone. And for those who, for some reason, do not know exactly how to do it, there is a small poster with short pictorial instructions on how many times and in what order to clap so that the spirit of the rock can hear and notice the interviewer… 

 

The grooves on the sides resemble the technical details according to which something should move. Or, on the contrary, the stone itself had to be part of a larger unit. In this case (if the position is true aside) it was planned to move this megalith into such a structure horizontally. It is also possible to emphasize the assumption that this monolith could only serve as one of the pillars of some huge structure. The official version is that it is a stone tombstone. However, scientific data on who and for what purpose the megalith was made is not available.

Megalit is a large stone pond

Under the megalith there is a large stone pond, as a tank filled with water. According to temple records, this water does not dry out even during long periods of drought. The assumption that the water level in the reservoir is in some way connected to the sea is also supported, when in fact the sea level is demonstrably lower. In the water, below the supporting part of the megalith in the middle of the stone, the megalith is connected to a stone foundation, which is not visible, it seems as if the megalith is floating in the air. For this reason, Ishi-no-Hoden is also referred to as flying stone.

According to local monks, in the upper part of Ishi-no-Hoden there is a recess in the form of a bathtub similar to that seen on the Masuda-ivafun megalith. It seems to me very dubious, because this recess would look like a completely disparate element here. However, it is impossible to check - the upper surface of Ishi-no-Hoden is covered with scum and earth, trees grow there. Megalit is sacred, so no one is allowed to enter the summit.

In the years 2005-2006, Education Council Takasago, together with the history lab at Otemae University, organized a megalithic research, where it carried out three-dimensional laser measurements and carefully studied the nature of the surrounding rock.

Cavities in the monolith

In January 2008, Society for the Study of Cultural Values performed further laser and ultrasound examinations of the megaliths, but a report published in July of the same year pointed to the impossibility of detecting the existence of cavities in the megaliths. The surface of the megalith is covered with depressions as if from the erosion of the material and at first glance gives the impression of manual processing. However, as with Masuda-ivafun, there are no regular or elongated grooves made by instruments (such traces, especially for comparison, exist only at the bottom of the megalith, on the part that connects it to the parent rock).

Although the presence of a recess is more likely to be seen on Masuda-ivafun and on the surface of the so-called southern Lebanese monolith in Baalbek, which we were able to see during an expedition to Syria and Lebanon in January 2009.

The Southern Megalith in Baalbek

On the southern stone, the traces of the instruments are clearly visible only on the underside of the monolith, in conjunction with the source rock. On all sides there are just too irregular debris. However, on the Lebanese megalith, these caverns are larger than Ishi-no-Hoden. In addition, we feel that the size of the hollow in the Japanese megalith falls from bottom to top. Perhaps it could be attributed to the lack of regular grooves as a result of erosion? However, it seems that Ishi-no-Hoden (unlike the Baalbek stone) has long been covered with gravel and shale that once fell from the top of the mountain, perhaps during some earthquakes.

The fact that this was the case shows the presence of the gravel that remained at Ishi-no-Hoden (otherwise it could not be there). Only later was the megalith removed. And again the argument - no erosion could affect the rock.

There are no drill bits or chisels on the monolith

So here we have information that there are no regular traces of drills or chisels on Ishi-no-Hoden. This surface character at Ishi-no-Hoden again raises questions about a certain type of mechanical tool that does not spoil, but simply crushes or grinds the material. Even seeing the difference between the surfaces of Masuda-ivafun and Ishi-no-Hoden, it is quite possible that the same tool was used when machining both objects.

The visual difference in areas is due to the fact that megaliths are made of different materials - according to available sources, Ishi-no-Hoden of granite and so-called hyaloclasts, formed during the eruption of liparite lava into water about 70 million years ago…
However, if the side walls are covered with cavities, we are forced to be seriously interested in what tool was used in their machining, bottom or bottom edges of Ishi-no-Hoden (since the megalith is on the side, its bottom is now placed vertically), we are generally clueless - there is no trace of processing.

This side of the megalith - from the mother's rocks, it looks as if a giant had separated, a part of the mountain that was outside. But even more, the lack of footprints on the rock around Ishi-no-Hoden will be jeopardized. There is no trace of the machine or hand tools. Chisels and drills were observed only in one place - at the bottom of the rock, at the front of the wedge-shaped projection Ishi-no-Hoden. But in general, it seems to be just a widespread passage for people who are passing by the megalith. This, of course, was obvious much later when Ishi-no-Hoden became the object of worship.

Ishi-no-Hoden

All other rocks are literally "virgin clean" without any trace. If we take a simple sample of the material from the mine or quarry, no one will compare it to the remaining rock mass, as well as scratch the tracks of tools that automatically appear when sampling as a side effect.

That's obvious. Traces inevitably remain and are easily visible in every quarry even today, even though they are old. For this reason, the absence of drill bits and chisels on the rock around Ishi-no-Hoden can mean only one thing - when using the monolith, these simple tools were not used.

Advanced Machine Technology

Other hand tools are not used in quarries. It must be stated that the material around Ishi-no-Hoden was not removed with the help of simple manual technology, but in a different way. Otherwise, it means only one means - some advanced, most likely machine technology…!

The mysterious megality of the Ishi-no-Hoden

However, as already mentioned, there are no known traces of machines on the rock. No traces or any of their flags. It turns out that the technology used is not known to us.

Use of monolith

The official version says that the megalith was planned to be used as some kind of tomb. That seems to be the reason why scientists have been so careful to find a cavity in it. Really, you can't put anyone in solid rock. However, none of the known Japanese tombs is a monolithic tomb. It is completely outside the local tradition, where only monolithic sarcophagi meet it, and even the lid of the sarcophagus is always a separate element. But Ishi-no-Hoden is not suitable as a sarcophagus - it is too big.

And we do not have yet another version of scholarly historians ... So far, we have no direct or indirect evidence that a technologically advanced civilization is involved in the creation of Ishi-no-Hoden. It's not just the absence of manual sampling stops but also the weight of the megalith. Those who created it obviously had no special problems moving somewhere in the world. And restrict yourself to traditional versions of historians is not necessary.

Local legends associate Ishi-no-Hoden with the activities of one of the "gods," who, in our opinion, are nothing but representatives of the oldest highly developed civilization in the technical sense. According to local legend, two gods were involved in the creation of Ishi-no-Hoden:

Oo-kuninusi-no kami (God the patron of the great land) and Sukuna-Bikona-no kami (God-boy).

Ishi-no-Hoden

Deity

When these gods came from the land of Izumo-no-kuni (the territory of today's Shimane province) to Harima-no-kuni (today's prefecture of Hyogo), then for some reason they wanted to build a palace for one night. However, Ishi-no-Hoden could only be done because the local deities immediately rebelled. And while Oo-kuninusi-no kami and sukuna-bikon-no, leaving the building and suppressing the rebellion, the night was over, and the palace remained unfinished.

But the two Gods have also vowed to protect this country ... We have already once convinced that old legends are often not the fictions or fantasies of our ancestors, as historians say, but they are even an original, valid description of real events. The other thing is that it can not be taken literally. So in this case, we should not think that concept overnight here it means that it was a period from west to sunrise.

Speaking in a professional language, only an idiomatic turn, that it actually means very fast, such as in Russian, Now is not equal to one hour, and per second and is not always meant in a single second. And in ancient Japanese legends, it is only the fact that the time of Ishi-no-Hoden's creation was so short that it was above the power of an ordinary person. Naturally, the inhabitants of this ancient area used the phrase overnightto highlight the highest speed of megalith production.

This indirectly suggests that the "gods" (kami) had features and technologies that the ancient Japanese did not have…
