5 Most Massive Unexplained Ancient Monoliths

- The Rock Ship of Masuda, known in Japanese as Masuda-no-Iwafune, is a mysterious stone structure located in the village of Asuka in the Nara prefecture of Japan.
This region is known for its key-shaped earth mound monuments that date back to the period between 250 and 552 AD. However, the Rock Ship of Masuda stands apart in its composition and unknown construction.
The rock itself is a massive block of granite, approximately 36 feet in length, 26 feet wide, and 15 feet high, weighing around 880 tons.
Though its origin remains unknown, the Rock Ship was obviously created with a purpose in mind.
The top of the stone has been flattened, and two square holes have been carved into it, with a ridgeline parallel to both holes. At the base of the stone, there are lattice-shaped indentations believed to be related to the methods used to flatten the stone's sides.
The monolith's nickname "rock ship" likely stems from its ship-like appearance and proximity to the now-drained Lake Masuda. The stone's surface is extremely hard and difficult to carve, leading scientists to regard the Rock Ship of Masuda as a technical marvel for its age.
At first glance, the giant hunk of granite does not seem out of place. Masuda has existed for over a thousand years, and the area is dotted with different burial mounds. However, the Rock Ship of Masuda does not mark a grave. So, the question remains: who built it, and why?
Some scholars argue that it was intended as the marker for a large burial tomb, but no tomb or bodies have ever been found. Locals claim that it was used as a Buddhist shrine. This claim is impossible to prove fully since the Rock Ship lacks any resemblance to other ancient shrines.
Others argue that the carefully carved piece of granite was used for astronomical observation. The carved ridge runs parallel to the mountains in the area, and it lines up with sunset on the important farming day that signals the beginning of the agricultural season.
A final theory is that the Rock Ship of Masuda was carved to honor Masuda Lake, which has since been destroyed by human development. Despite this variety of explanations, the true purpose for creating the Rock Ship of Masuda has been lost to history...
Anyone remembers when Dark5 didn't have a narrator but instead you have to read the script while some unknown techno music plays in the background?
Yes. That made the video more creepy.

At this time & age it's hard to tell whether it's an actual person talking or Ai. You can only tell if it makes some error in pronunciation that a person wouldn't make.
No its no AI. It's the guy who makes the videos. He used to talk too fast but a bunch of us kept telling home to slow down a bit and he has. I like his voice.@@sharcon3891
@@sharcon3891 No, it's not AI, but just a man "doing a voice" instead of using his own. This is fine and all, and I can't blame him for it, as I don't feel like my own voice would be all that greatly suited for a narrator of any sort.
A I Is more real than most people these days
There is zero proof that the Romans cut the giant blocks at Balbek. They found them there and built their temple on top.
They literally say the foundation under the temple was much older.
There is also zero proof that the Wailing Wall is part of the original Temple mount.
The Wailing Wall is The High Ground occupied by Rome.
The temple(s) were found several years ago in the City of David, about 900 M southeast of the misidentified "Temple mount", in The Old City.
With wash facilities for the priests, ancient previously missing pools and butchering facilities with connecting holes in the walls to tie-off animal Leads. Not to mention blood gutters.
The Temple Mount, is not the Temple mount.
Jesus was absolutely correct.
"...not one stone upon the other".
Well it’s whatever they tell us. Because what “they” say is true! 🙄
That’s right. Lots of walk-in in and take over in our history. Like the Pyramids for example
If you think there's zero proof the Romans dit it, you havent looked deep enough into the matter.
You have to look at ALL the evidence gathered at the site if you're really after the truth.
It would be awesome to be able to just travel all over the world and visit these kinds of places.
Why
@@adhaskym.a9536 If you don't know by now, don't mess with it.
you noticed, recently humans invented planes, get some tickets and visit whatever you want. or afraid leaving the country ?
@@guruware8612 I love the idea. Unfortunately, making the necessary funds magically appear out of thin air has proven somewhat problematic.
Yeah like a world wide super train with tourists spots all across the world with every country has a slice of the wealth
Fascinating post. I used to live in Wiltshire UK, very close to Avebury and other ancient sites. There are many sites which are deemed too small for the public to visit, but often these are just as wonderful as the major sites. I went around Eire and Scotland visiting ancient sites and was not disappointed. I now live in West Wales, home of the Blue Stones used at Stonehenge. Personally I find peace and tranquility at these sites as do many others. Thank you for the post 👍
Better title 5 reason why im ignorant and delusional!
@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 A few things I've learnt during my nearly 70 years life is that if we were all the same, life would be so intolerably boring. Just because one or two people are so arrogant and prone to self importance, they miss some of the more peaceful aspects of a world so dominated by greed, war and narcissistic tendencies.
@@thepagan5432 Its great you like to stand out for your ignorance and delusionals! But you are right you do play an improtant role, without the people dumber than the average we wouldnt have th eimportant people who are more intelligent than the the average the people who make your life possible!
You don't have to lift up a monolith to lay it horizontally on three uprights.
You merely bury the three uprights and drag the monolith on top.
Excavating to a presumed height.
@Peter-jo3wt kudos for using your brain.
That's a rare thing in today's world.
Look at the big brain on Brad
@@aquariandawn4750I tried but I got arrested for attempted manslaughter.
That was my first thought too.
@@hastyhillfarmand4x480 that's what I do: deliberately taking people literally. I've felt so alone, thinking I was the only one.
This is the types of videos I love! The thirst of knowledge I have is unparalleled from anything else! Perfectly done, and thank you!!!! A couple of these sites, Ive never even heard of!
He talks like a huuuuuge idiot
Besides the fact they showed the wrong stone, thats the pregnant woman stone not the forgotten stone. I like their storytelling but I've found a number of those mistakes from this channel creator that makes me realize they half ass research.
Gotta love that intro... never gets old
10 years later and they still got it! Hahaha!
excellent footage in the first clip about the ship stone, best images i've seen of it, very detailed, thanks a bunch
“ Lake Titicaca” 😂 .. sorry I know I sound immature but couldn’t resist lol
Why would anyone name a lake Titicaca unless they were trying to get a laugh.
It’s still funny in English because poopybooby or boobypoop🤷🏻♂️💀😅
One translation would be "Grey Puma" in reference to a large island rock shaped like a puma. Interestingly the arial outline of the lake is shaped like a pouncing puma. You're right, it definitely sounds immature even juvenile.
Fun fact the germans are the most numerous tourists who visit lake titicaca every year
I only watch this channel to read the deranged comments. 99% of the commenters believe in the most ridiculous smooth brained ideas. Thank you all for the laughs!
Any channel will do......lol
Lol !! 😆👍
Some of the worst and weirdest comments on any channel you’re not lying!
The rock ship looks like the base of a bridge piling and the square holes places for support columns ,being close to the river, maybe the water receded and the project abandoned?
Lmfao that would suck! You put all this time and work into building a badass bridge and the river just leaves
I was thinking that it looks like a support foundation as well.
Old metal forge I saw someplace
This is exactly what I've always thought.
so with what diamond tools, was it carved.. over 13k ago.??.. as all megalithic structures were... i say, they used a lazer, as theres rock scoop marks world wide.. for the amount of construction, it had to be qiuk, or they would never be finished..
I was at the Gate of the Sun in 2010. It is several hundred yards from Puma Punku. I asked the guide the meaning of Puma Punku, and he said many think it means "Puma Gate", puma being a cougar, but some believe it to mean "Water Gate", as Lake Titicaca was at one time in history, closer and in sight of the area. The lake has now drastically receded. Both sites, Tiwanaku and Puma Punku are amazing places.
Water Gate... Lake Titicaca floating islands...
The cougar or sun gate eh....yeah that's fun 2017-2023 mid year...If you're in great shape and like to rough it prior to 2017.
....Now go look at the mountain lion or cougar anklets on the "supposed" Greek sculpture of some really broad rough ran human feet...and try to figure that out dude...
"Amazing" my arse.
White diplomat walking around discovers ancient city?? WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
u white people like to take credit for everything.
Pumapumku is definetly remakable. Its incredible how precise and perfect the cuts and lines are in the pieces and to have so little actual knowledge about how it was built and what precisely took place is a travesty.
And how was it destroyed and mixed into the ground
@@jeffhiggins808 Definitely. I find the most intriguing thing to be the fact there is so little knowledge about it. Such an amazing structure, that was destroyed so bizarrely and simply no definitive answer? Mind blowing!!
@@ericthiel4053 I personally believe that the Earth has been through some radical changes and the Tiwanaku/Pumapunku/Lake Titikaka site was a sea port because of the species in the lake obviously came from the sea originally. This means it all rose from sea level to the altiplano above 10,000 feet! I love the mysteries of this world.
@@jeffhiggins808 Me too. I think there was much more that took place than we will ever know!!! It just sucks never knowing the full stories of places like this lol but hey, maybe someday we will discover something new about it.
@@ericthiel4053 I hope so. If it’s not suppressed. Did you hear that the World Economic Forum shut down any further excavations at Gobekli Tepi? Who are these people? Nobody elected them.
Everything aboot your videos is TOP NOTCH ‼️🤘‼️
These giant blocks strewn around everywhere in those destroyed cities, that must have been done by charging horsemen 😂😂
Most of what we've found is just heavily eroded, scattered pieces of something much bigger and much more sophisticated.
Why would someone build an obelisk bigger than any other? Simple, "Mine's bigger!".
I’ve always thought that the Masuda rock ship looked like it has tipped over onto its right side, and that the angled portion was meant to look like a pitched roof.
It looks to me like the base of a bridge pillar, minus its two columns that would have inserted into the two square vertical cuts.
@@fuzzpope Yes I think it is part of bigger structure that has toppled over or abandoned during construction.
Solid!
Top KEK!
Peace be with you.
Interesting stuff bro
i like how you documented this ancient places. This Megalithic area Life must have been different from ours. We don’t understand it.
I ask for what reason dolmens were built? They are all over. Is it something technical, spiritual, landart?
Etowah indian mounds in georgia or rock eagle and rock hawk and all the other petroglyphs in the area that were not recorded in georgia near lakejackson. Thankkyou gor your work!
Thank you !
Best Dark channel 🎉
This was absolutely fascinating. I'm still convinced a lot of that stuff was built using cement and now it's just fossilized and is much older than they say it is. I'm one of those conspiracy theorist who believes the planet has gone through many catastrophic events wiping out 90%+ of humanity multiple times.
Video suggestion : How about one on the New Madrid earthquake?
lol it’s granite man, if it were poured like concrete it would be extremely brittle compared to one of the hardest rocks ever. As a man I know not one that can pour granite
Have you ever notice how granite looks kind of like concrete though if you polish it and expose the aggregate? The color is off and concrete is much softer obviously, but visually it can't be strikingly similar. It's a known fact that concrete gets harder as it ages, but nobody's ever seen concrete that's 250,000+ years old so who really knows. We already know for sure, the earth is much older than that. The only debatable and controversial question is whether or not humans were around back then. . . . Even since Bible days we had concrete/mortars and many of those structures are still around today, nobody's even really absolutely 100% sure where it came from.
To me the first one looks like some sort of ancient concrete slab that's meant to be buried underground for a structure that sits on top of it. (Definitely looks like it's keyed for a heavy wooden structure on top.) People should be on the lookout for others nearby. They're probably all still buried. @@Troyyy94
@@TheTarrMan under a microscope and to a trained geologists eye, granite looks NOTING like cement. We know how granite forms, you can collect more or less fresh samples at most active volcanoes.
So if the theory is not that ancient people manged to pull magma out of the liquid mantle, form it into shapes by some forcefields which also can exert high pressure? And thermally isolate, so they could let it gently cool over several months so the silica structure cristallizes out right?
That theory is like some kid theorizing that the plane it sees in the sky must be flapping its wings really hard when nobody is looking and fart itself forward, fueled by vats of bean soup.
Its make-believe.
Teosophy will give you the answers.
Fossilized cement?
Always Awesome!🤪
Human history is the biggest mystery !
“ he who controls the past, controls the present….yada yada yada “
I found a dolmen type rock in the Sierras. Its gotta weigh a few tons. I have pictures and have been there a few times. Im willing to share info.
Monuments of such great scale speaks volumes about the vanity of humans!
You know you might be on to something big there , that's a very astute statement.
These are the best videos on CZcams hands down!! Puma Punku is adorned with stone cutting and wall building perfection that would be almost impossible today. There are a lot of South American constructions that can't be explained to this day
Thank you
I see from your bio that you want to become a 'voice actor'. Can you tell me do you use any 'in mouth devices' to create the voice used in this video?
The Rock ship of Masuda is obviously some kind of bridge abutment that ended up being too heavy to move. They probably came to the realization after some engineer convinced the crew that it would be easy to move once they pared it down some.
So obvious.
The commentary is world class. I can't do the older episodes without audio. You should do commentary for ALL of your episodes. I'm a big fan.
You didn't start watching his videos when they didn't have audio (which makes them the OG videos and more creepy as well) so you can leave
Horrible commentary 🙄
You two really need to get a life.
Something about Nan Madol would be interesting to me . 🤙 .
That rock has similarities to the Baltic Sea anomalie
&,,there all at least 13k old.. because that, is when the flood was, to destroy man as no longer needed.. viper tv sumerian tablets.. how did we know about presession, 24,000 yrs long,,or all the planets in our solar system, or that sirius was a binary star.. thousands of yrs before ''re discovered'', by '' modern man''.. the pyramids were chemical factories.. this is why we find mercury, gold, mica, in pyramids,,not fkn dead people..
depending on where your standing near any object it lines up with sunset haha
Yeah, I think the whole solstice alignment thing has become the standard lazy go-to for when they have no freaking idea what it is, or what it was used for.
There would need to be atleast 2 points (front and rear) to have an alignment like that.
You’re.
@@JennRighter apologies I got caught up on that weekly .
Thankyou 🖤 🖤
Amazing 👏
The figure at the gate looks very similar to the Long Man of Wilmington, East Sussex!
These is my favorite type of content love it
As a prehistory nerd, I've never head of the Rock ship of Masuda. My first thought was that it could have been used to bend wooden planks, bamboo or any other material like leaves and process it into small boats. It could be re-used over and over. However, there were probably easier methods and materials to work with, so it seems unlikely.
Interesting thought. It does certainly look like an upturned boat so acting as a mould. However, a hole in the ground could have the same purpose. I wonder if it is actually a partially finished item that was meant to be part of a larger structure. Perhaps even would have been stood upright but fell over in an earthquake that are not unknown in Japan.
@@brianthesnail3815 however a hole in the ground (without roof) would have the disadvantage of rainwater possibly assembling inside the boat and messing up the process
I've always thought 'The Forgotten Stone' was pretty obvious. If you want lots of uniform sized blocks, carve a prism in the size and shape you want, then keep breaking blocks off the end.
I love this genre. But before I watch any of these videos I tell myself the saddest thing . We will never know how they did it
Great job on this video.
The relief on the sungate of Tiahuanacu is showing a 360-days calendar which is identical with the calandar of the Tretayuga (which ended in a great flood) in the Hindu text Rigveda and with the cslendar which Berossos suggests for the time before the flood which he dated at about 33.500 BC while the astronomical data (given by the movement of the constellation Orion in the course of the precession) give a date of about 36.500 BC.
The figure on the sungate marks the month of the beginning of the year, shown by the sticks with the number signs in his hands which also shows in which direction the calendar is to read. The 12 signs of the months (including the major figure) were bedded in a meander band which symbolizes the course of the earth round the sun. This means that the months were not defined by moon phases but by parts of the course of the earth round the sun and these parts can only be defined by the constellations of the zodiac. The main figure on the sungate therefore shows the month in which the earth was in the constellation Aries (the spring equinox and beginning of the year of growing of plants).
That the earth is meant and not the sun is not only shown by the meander band symbolizing the course of the earth round the sun but also by the 24 beams round the face of the major figure which caused the identification with the sun (which by the way was no coincidence; the depiction on the sungate is meant for two different kinds of people: one who knew the conditions in the solar system and one that knew only the eyesight from the earth). These 24 beams show the 24 hours of the day which was devided into 12 hours day and 12 hours night (compare the different symbols at the 12 o clock and 24 o clock positions.
Unfortunately the nose of the major figure of the sungate is missing so it is not possible to verify whether it was originally a sun clock or not.
The most astonishing thing on this relief is the number of days of the week which is five, while the month is composed of 6 weeks and divided into halfmonths. But this is eaqual to the above mentioned calendars before the flood.
The RochSHP was probably a landing pad for a large ship.
Is it coincidence that that giant phallic pillar was 69 feet high? I don't think so. 😉
👁️🐓🌞
Can you imagine being the guy whose hammer blow cracked the huge obelisk?
😁 After you and fifty colleagues worked it out of the quarry for half a year, when the overseer is already getting 200 mules and miles of rope together, you just see ooooone last bump in the surface. And decide to make it perfect.... _pock_
* oooohshitohshitohsit*
* looksaround*

Dam, that guy was gonna ask for the day off tomorrow, too.
Or the guy that knocked down the Menhir of Er Gra?
its still part of the tone it was never separated from the base rock only the top and sides
Cool.
I've never heard of the fallen stone in Britain. Interesting
Not Britain. Brittany, in France.
@@user-vj7el2wg9b thanks
I don't know how that rock got there, but I sure ain't sleeping under it!
Shiprock looks like it could be a battery? Anode one side cathode the other +,- ?
The rock ship looks like a prehistoric forklift counterweight.
Do the pre dynastic granite vases and sculptures, and how the dynastic Pharaohs defaced them with their cartouches
How was it determined that the infamous vases were pre-dynastic? What dating methods were used to establish the age of those artifacts. Does Ben from UnsupportedX take the word of mainstream academia on this? Or does he have his own method of dating?
Could have been a base structure for a sawing machine or some other apparatus
Thank you, great video. I can't understand what you're saying sometimes.
The largest cap stones in the world have been found, in the State of Montana....a place called the giants playgrounds...
Like the gaudy mosque built on top of the much older remains of Solomon’s temple
Correction. The broken menhir of Er Grah was carved about 4,700 BC, 2,200 years before Stonehenge was erected, not 1,000 years.
Find a big flat rock then dig a hole beneath and put uprights underneath. One at a time.
Then remove all the surrounding soil for a quarter acre.
Pretty much nothing you said about Baalbek is correct. Not even close.
“lol, let’s put funny rocks together to mess with the future people”
There were giants in the land at that time and later on also
Today, they are called engineers.
You only showed the stone of the pregnant woman not the forgotten stone. It is to the side and below the pregnant woman .
Agreed! I was going to post this if no one else had, so thanks! ;-)
137 is an important number in physics. So is it ironic that that the obelisk is that many feet long.
Can you expand ?
Actually it’s 1/137
🙄
🤦🤦♂🤦♀
It's not the number of your IQ, though, that's for sure!
Actually I thought he might come back with some electromagnetic explanation, 1/137th is correct, like some ratio of vibration, like a perfect 5th,...something like that.
3:05 - "The Forgotten Stone is still partially buried" When was this video made? The Forgotten Stone at Baalbek has now been uncovered and is estimated to weigh 1,200 tons.
I presume most of the famous towers and monuments around the world nowadays will be called the ancient heritages 1 million years later.
Great vid! I think the assumption the obelisks were created by the same people who inscribed them may be up for debate possibly. If the Egyptians settled the land with stone monuments there already, they may have just carved into them like the sphynx. Not saying ETs build the monuments, but possibly an ancient race of people forgotten to time who wanted to leave us something to remember them by.
they need to lift it up and go down through the entrance.
1st one there's a gigantic version in india with a stone house with roof on top ! 😮
Unreal
Maybe Hatshepsut was trying to appropriate the Unfinished Obelisk that existed in the quarry with its crack long before the Egyptians arrived.
Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, you tube comment section university.
"It was for astronomical tracking" is the new "ìt was for ritualistic use"
Both are stand-ins for "We have no idea what it was used for" because that explanation doesn't keep the research funding coming in.
@@rudyschwab7709 And there in lies the problem with all branches of science and academia in the modern world. It's a cancer but the carcinogens are ourselves.

We go through epochs of time science unfortunately refuses to believe this with their limited ability ..
I thought the same thing within the first 15 seconds of seeing the video .
If you had a ONLY a shovel and it laid on the ground, HOW would you get it to stand up.
the rock ship is or was a pier or dock used for boats!
Lebanon is always special and enteresting country
The 1st one is what I expect to see when people say carved with copper chisels or pounding rocks together!
Some times you have to know how hard was the stone just did it just came out of a volcano
Humanity is clearly older than what we are taught.
ya, a lot more than more than 6004 years
More commercials please
I still see number on as a royal wasabi maker two crafted wood lids , level in the beginning .
The first one looks like the Baltic sea anomaly
2 questions have come through thousands of years all the way to my mind and no doubt they will continue on forever. How? Why? Sooner find out what a singularity actually is. Hail hail mystery.
Dolmens are not a mystery. Well maybe to the Darkfive crew, but that would be putting walking and chewing gum at the same time as an incredible dare
Consuction??
Sand blasting?
Where did you get the idea that the Romans carved the forgotten stone? Heaven't heard that before.
I roll my eyes every time I hear, "but there are some people who think its extraterrestrial".. no shit people still believe the earths flat
So... It split during construction.. Big dammit...
The content is good but the speaker is very hard to listen to :/ it would be good to try with a another speaker.
The forgotten stone is just an ancient and petrified semi trailer.
Giants
If plate tectonics is true,all of the past is erased only a small percent would survive.
Saying these were built by our ancestors is pure conjecture
Puma punku was a military base for launching weapons, destroyed when done
Atlantean outpost.
Why is everything a tomb or a religious site... i guess they cant come up with anything better.
Modern academia says these are all just “natural rock formations” so much for higher education 😂😂
You got a reference for that?
You have probably succeeded at avoiding any sort of education. Congrats!
