Is there a pyramid in Aomori Prefecture? What is the Oishigami Pyramid?

Did you know that there is a pyramid in Aomori Prefecture? It is not a very well-known place, and only known by those in the know, but Aomori Prefecture actually has many mysterious spots

located in Shingo Village, Sannohe District, Aomori Prefecturethe "Oishigami Pyramid"we'll delve into the mystery of

The pyramid in Aomori Prefecture is the "Oishigami Pyramid"

The Oishigami Pyramid is a group of megaliths located in Torai, Shingo Village, Sannohe District, Aomori Prefecture. Each of the stones, including the megalith with a circumference of about 12 meters, is given a name such as compass stone, sun stone, constellation stone, and mirror stone

The basis for this being considered a "pyramid" lies in the contents of the "Takeuchi Documents," ancient documents passed down through generations of the Takeuchi family, which were made public in 1928 byTakeuchi Kiyomaro, who claims to have been adopted into the Takeuchi family, who are said to be descendants of Heguri noMatori.

There are various theories about the circumstances leading to the discovery

• When Kyomaro, who was deciphering the contents of the Takeuchi Documents, visited Herai Village in Aomori Prefecture (present-day Herai, Shingo Village),the "Tomb of Christ."a Japanese painter from Aomori Prefecture who was accompanying him,Toya Banzan,discovered the "Oishigami Pyramid."
• an occultist who, based on the Takeuchi Documents, proposed the existence of pyramids in Japan and conducted investigations in various locationsKatsutoki Sakai,It was discovered by

...or so it is said. The truth is unknown, but both theories share the commonality of basing their claims on theTakeuchi Documents.""

What is the "Oishigami Pyramid"?

This group of megaliths known as the Oishigami Pyramids is said to have been discovered in 1935

And although it is called a pyramid, its shape is not the triangular cone shape that we generally imagine. So why is this group of megaliths called a "pyramid"?

Katsunori Sakai, a leading expert on Japanese pyramids who also appeared in the story of their discovery, proposes the following definition of a Japanese pyramid:

If we compare the Oishigami Pyramid with these conditions,

Since it is not a triangle, it is a little difficult to meet condition "1"

It meets condition 2 because it contains a group of megaliths including the Sun Stone, Compass Stone, Constellation Stone, and Mirror Stone

Since it's unclear what constitutes the main shrine and the worship hall, it's impossible to say whether it meets condition "3," but one theory suggests that the nearby"Towariyama"serves as the worship hall, andthe group of megalithsserves as the main shrine, thus creating the "Oishigami Pyramid"—a somewhat far-fetched idea.

The Oishigami Pyramid on-site

As mentioned above, there are many megaliths in the area

the Sunstonehas an explanation that says, "It is said that in the past, it shone brightly, and people worshipped the sun reflected from it."

A realistic interpretation would be that the sunlight would just shine into the forest at the right time, shining precisely onto this huge rock

the "Directional Stone"has a crack in it, and although the reason is unknown, it is said to accurately indicate the cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west).

The Kagamiishi (Mirror Stone) is a flat, massive rock over 10 meters tall, which apparently toppled during the great earthquake of 1857 (Ansei 4). Ancient characters appear to have been carved into the surface of the stone, suggesting it may have originally stood upright like a stone monument.

There is a legend that says that in the past, attempts were made to erect this mirror stone several times, but each time heavy rain fell and it was not possible to erect the stone

The birthstonehas the main constellation engraved on its surface.

It is unclear whether it was a pyramid, but since there are traces of celestial bodies such as the sun and stars, it is possible that it was a place of worship or a place used for some kind of ritual

There is also something that looks like a shrine, but it does not appear to be very old as the scaffolding is made of iron pipes

"Did Christ come to Aomori?" It's hard to believe, but the "Tomb of Christ" is located in Christ Village Park in Shingo Village, Sannohe County, Aomori Prefecture, adjacent to the Christ Village Folklore Museum. How the Tomb of Christ was discovered: The legend of Christ's Tomb in Shingo Village, Sannohe County, Aomori Prefecture, originates from the "Takeuchi Documents," ancient documents passed down through the Takeuchi family and made public by Kiyomaro Takeuchi, who claimed to have been adopted into the Takeuchi family, supposedly descendants of Heguri Masatori, in 1928. Kiyomaro deciphered the documents and discovered the text when he personally visited Torai Village, Aomori Prefecture (now Torai, Shingo Village).
