I know this is from the wiki but I have just woken up so my brain is not all that sharp right yet.

 

Yonaguni

Natural formation

Some of those who have studied the formation, such as geologist Robert Schoch of Boston University, state that it is most likely a natural formation, possibly used and modified by humans in the past. Schoch observes that the sandstones that make up the Yonaguni formation "contain numerous well-defined, parallel bedding planes along which the layers easily separate. The rocks of this group are also criss-crossed by numerous sets of parallel and vertical (relative to the horizontal bedding planes of the rocks) joints and fractures. Yonaguni lies in an earthquake-prone region; such earthquakes tend to fracture the rocks in a regular manner."[1][14] He also observes that on the northeast coast of Yonaguni there are regular formations similar to those seen at the Monument.[1][15] Schoch also believes that the "drawings" identified by Kimura are natural scratches on the rocks.[14] This is also the view of John Anthony West.[3]

Patrick D. Nunn, Professor of Oceanic Geoscience at the University of the South Pacific, has studied these structures extensively and notes that the structures below the water continue in the Sanninudai slate cliffs above, which have "been fashioned solely by natural processes" and concludes in regard to the underwater structures that "there seems no reason to suppose that they are artificial."[16]

Other examples of natural formations with flat faces and sharp straight edges are the basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway and the natural staircase formation on Old Rag Mountain.[17]

 

 

What we need to do is look at what the ancient aliens theorist use to back up their claims and either prove that it (a) can not be as old as they say (b) that it is obviously man made (c) it is obviously natural etc. The list could be quite long.

 

The thing is the more you look at what they say then find out about the places and artifacts you end up finding out what they are not telling.

This is the main thing it is what they do not say that gets them caught out here and there. There is one other trap that these people full into far to often and that is seeing an ancient object through the eyes of a modern human.. that can be fatal for objectivity. for example is it a space man with a helmet on? or a ritual object with a headdress on?

Which is more likely?
