Mystery Surrounds 'Pyramid' Mountain Thought to Have Been Sacred Ancient Japan Site - The Mainichi

"Japan's Pyramid" got its nickname from its "orderly triangular sides," but there's much more to this "mountain of many mysteries" than just myth. Hikoshi Tamura says an archaeological investigation only added to the place's fascination. There's a much wider-reaching surprise and conundrum in Secret Patterns Found in Arrangement of Medieval Islamic Tombs. "They were set up a little like galaxies in the universe." Owen Jarus isn't saying there's necessarily a celestial connection here, but studying locations of a staggering 10,000 monuments in Eastern Sudan with the "Neyman-Scott cluster process"--formerly used in astronomy--has produced remarkable results. Locations figure in our next case, but here it's Ancient Coins in Out of the Way Places: When a Group of Scientists Looked at "Anomalous" Coin Claims. Micah Hanks' tale of the conclusion from a 1980 study of ancient coins discovered in the Americas reminds us of the ufological-based controversy between some members of the 1968 Condon Committee and its director. For a comprehensive account of such anomalies in the New World see Columbus Was Last: From 200,000 B.C. to 1492: A Heretical History of Who Was First, by Patrick Huyghe (Anomalist Books). And Ashley Cowie tells us sometimes the mysteries are confined in time and place, as with an 18th-19th century East Yorkshire, England Mystery Bottle Discovered Between Woman's Legs in Hull Burial.
