Ancient Structure in Japan similar to structure on Mars
new Tuesday 19th May 2015 at 09:06 By David Icke Kofun are megalithic tombs or tumuli in Japan, constructed between the early 3rd century and the early 7th century AD. They gave their name to the Kofun period (middle 3rd century to early-middle 6th century). Many of the Kofun have distinctive keyhole-shaped mounds (zenpo -koenfun (前方後円墳?)), which are unique to ancient Japan. – Wikipedia. The structure we see in Japan is unique, sharp edges and unique patterns define this incredible construction built in ancient Japan. But is there something more to this construction? Is there a small possibility that the structure found in Japan has a mysterious connection, a otherworldly connection perhaps? We believe the answer is Yes.
Japanese society Italy debated their origins they still ask questions such as who are we and where did they come from a question that is asked in many societies but when a large prehistoric settlement was discovered in a moral Prefecture in the far north of Honshu it would change Japan as we know it it was a story that would be found on every newspaper in Japan the earliest artifact that dated back from about , BCE tools were discovered to scholars thought dated back to an Old Stone Age culture that spread from Northeast Asia into Japanese suck sakeni on kimitaka peninsula and even to north

pottery came from would be known as jomon period or from the german society the reason why would be called the jomon period is due to the cord markings that characterized the ceramics made during this

many of the german pottery figures are displayed all over the world there are party figures that can be found at the British Museum the unit the University of Art Museum the Tokyo University of Arts and many others but the main one in my opinion would be the perpetual amore Museum of Art the pottery figures that are featured in these museums range from sizes inches up to nearly two feet for the larger Dougal this specific dogo from the late to final jomon period is six-and-a-half inches in height or sixteen point five centimeters looking at this pottery figure you can immediately recognize

pottery were modeling clay applicate marketed with twisted plant fibers and varnishing the artistic and high quality potteries are very unique but what is what is a mystery is its use there's a belief these Dougal were used for the embodiment of spirits venerated and revered sometimes buried with the dead to guide them to the next world sort of how the children's will put a coin on the eyes or in the mouth of deceased so they can pay the ferryman Sharon to ferry them throughout done the world River known as sticks but i did bad i digress the debate between japanese still continues the functions of the Dougal are open for interpretation to jack up the japanese acapella during the jomon period was occupied by a large number of different groups of people or different societies they probably spoke a number of different dialects and express themselves through a huge range of pottery styles over local styles have been recognized today ja mon people lived in tune with their seasons and shared a rich natural world with the spirits the mystery of the german pottery figures could be compared to the mystery of the Easter Island heads although the two are entirely different objects they share similarities though they the Easter Island heads were said to keep the evil spirits away from dead and Dougal or said to be buried with the dead one so they can be guided to the next world creating a symbol meaning for both of these objects especially when it came to making sure the dead remained in peace and even more interesting to bake turning the German people is a theory or scientific matter that links them to be of Korean descent they have also been studies of hybridization saying that both yo-yo and Jomo engines have made a contribution to contemporary gene pool genetic studies have suggested interbreeding between the yo-yo and your own people with a gem own contribution to modern Japanese being as much as forty percent apparently a yo-yo language prevailed along with the agricultural technology researchers who have studied German and yoyo cultures came to the conclusion up to studying various dialects of Japanese the conclusion was all Japanese are descended from a founding language taken to the Japanese islands years ago the finding sheds new light on the origins of the Japanese people suggestion that their language descended from that of the rice-growing farmers who arrived in Japan from the Korean Peninsula and not from the hunter-gatherers who first inhabited the islands some , years ago in the th century Dougal served as a potent source of artistic inspiration and in recent decades they have featured they have been even been featured in manga comics and PlayStation games it is testimony to the power to do gold I can that they can serve simultaneously as symbols of prehistoric japan japan entrancing works of art and protagonist in contemporary culture here are my citations now not all my citations are here which is why i have a google doc link in the bottom them I recommend you go and check that out that's where all my citations up are as well as the lecture I just gave word for word most of the citations are used we're mainly for pictures the main domain websites i use for my research were the museum websites that i provided here thank you and i hope you enjoyed this lesson
Japanese society heatedly debate their origins, they still ask questions such as: Who are they and where did they come from? A question that is asked in many societies, but when a large prehistoric settlement was discovered in Aomori Prefecture in the far north of Honshu, it would change Japan as we know it. It was the story that would be found on every newspaper in japan, the earliest artifact that dated back from about 30,000 B.C.E. Tools were discovered, tools scholars thought dated back to an Old Stone Age (Craig). Culture that spread from northeast Asia into Japanese, Sakhalien, Kamchatka peninsula, and even to North America. During the time these tools were discovered, scholars realized these tools were possibly used during the Old Stone Age. These tools developed pottery within the hunting and gathering society. Neolithic hunters and gatherers created figures of clay (Ron). These pottery figures would be one of the oldest in the world, older than any pottery in the Middle East. The period this pottery came from would be known as the Jomon Period or from the Jomon Society. The reason why it would be called the Jomon period is due to the "cord markings that characterize the ceramics made during this time (JOM),” or the ropelike cord patterns designed on the pottery.
Part 2: This hollow figurine or dogu of a female is representative of the type found in the Tohoku region. It is displayed at the Metropolitan Museum, but many of the Jomon pottery figures are displayed all over the world. There are pottery figures that could be found at the British Museum, The University Art Museum, The Tokyo University of Arts and many others, but the main one in my opinion would be the prefectural Aomori Museum of Art. The pottery figures that are featured in these Museums range from sizes two inches up to nearly two feet for the larger dogu. This specific dogu from the Late to Final Jomon Period is 6 ½ inches in height or 16.5 centimeters (Bus). Looking at this pottery figure you can immediately recognize those big coffee bean shaped eyes it almost has an alien like aspect to its design as well. The nose and the mouth are just merely two small holes and dogu’s eyes almost look like goggles. The true meaning of this convention remains unknown, why the other versions of figures are more complex is never really supposed to be understood. Other pottery figures have more complete examples of this type have fleshy torsos with bare navels above thick, sturdy legs. The emphasis on the pointed breasts and generous hips of these figures suggests that they functioned as fertility symbols (Bus). Most of these figures were seen as symbols “with recognizably human or animal features, (sic) they have a fascinating history in Japan, dating back thousands of years (Pow).” Dogū evolved within the earliest dated continuous tradition of pottery manufacture in the world, stretching back to about 12,500 BC. They were produced by the Jōmon people, prehistoric foragers in the temperate forests that covered the Japanese archipelago. Jōmon people lived in tune with the seasons, and shared their rich natural world with the spirits. Since the Edo period (1615–1868) dogū have been excavated from many sites throughout Japan, the best examples coming from central and eastern regions -- from where most of the current exhibits are drawn.
Part 3: More than 1,000 dogū have been recovered from each of two major sites, Shakadō in Yamanashi prefecture and Sannai Maruyama in Aomori prefecture mostly in fragments. Nationwide, the total reported to date is about 18,000 (The). The techniques used to make such pottery were modelling, clay appliqué, marking with twisted plant fibres (jōmon means ‘cord-marked’) and burnishing. The artistic and high quality potteries are very unique, but what is a mystery is its use. There is a belief these dogu were used for the embodiment of spirits, venerated and revered; sometimes buried with the dead to guide them to the next world, sort of how the Trojans would put a coin on the eyes and mouth of the deceased, so they can pay their ferryman Charon to ferry them through the underworld river known as styx, but I digress. The debate between the Japanese still continues, the functions of the dogu are open for interpretation, “the Japanese archipelago during the Jomon period was occupied by a large number of different groups of people, or different societies. They probably spoke a number of different dialects and expressed themselves through a huge range of pottery styles - over 400 local styles have been recognized to date (Stone)."Jōmon people lived in tune with the seasons, and shared their rich natural world with the spirits (Pow). The mystery of the Jomon pottery figures could be compared to the mystery of the Easter Island heads. Although the two are entirely different objects they share some similarities.
Part 4:The Easter Island heads were said to keep evil spirits away from the dead and dogu’s were said to be buried with the dead so they can be guided to the next world creating a symbol or meaning for both of these objects especially when it came making sure the dead remained in peace. An even more interesting debate concerning the Jomon people is a theory or scientific matter that links them to be of Korean descent. There have also been studies of hybridization saying that both Yayoi and Jomon genes have made a contribution to the contemporary gene pool (Tra). Genetic studies have suggested interbreeding between the Yayoi and Jomon people, with the Jomon contribution to modern Japanese being as much as 40 percent. Apparently the Yayoi language prevailed, along with the agricultural technology (Wade). Researchers who have studied the Jomon and Yayoi cultures came to a conclusion after studying various dialects of Japanese. The conclusion was all Japanese are descended from a founding language taken to the Japanese islands 2,200 years ago.The finding sheds new light on the origin of the Japanese people, suggesting that their language is descended from that of the rice-growing farmers who arrived in Japan from the Korean Peninsula, and not from the hunter-gatherers who first inhabited the islands some 30,000 years ago (Wade). In the twentieth century, dogū served as a potent source of artistic inspiration, and in recent decades they have even featured in manga comics and Playstation games. It is testimony to the power of dogū that they can serve, simultaneously, as symbols of prehistoric Japan; entrancing works of art; and protagonists in contemporary culture (POW).
