Yes, that's Yonaguni! 
 
Some professor marine geologists, archaelogists and mathematicians dated it back as twice earlier the Great Pyramids of Egypt or even much earlier prior to the end of last ice age.

Yonaguni-like finds certainly mean that building great monuments requires a deep knowledge of mathematics and writing, (perhaps even astronomy and more...) And that, such power of knowledge should had been in the hands of a lost and not yet known civilization.  This was the point of my previous message. 
 
Just suppose it is not natural but manmade and (at least) 12.000 years old dating by some scientists is correct.  Now, is it really not logical to question the established civilization history, which is full of unknowns and contradictions, with a probable existance of a far older intelligent and sophisticated civilization?  
 
"probably natural", hmm... pls. see the photos!
 
BTW, all I meant by saying "esoteric" was an antonym of "skin-deep look/view". And sorry, but don't have much to say about the rest..;)
