The video examines Ishi no Hōden, a huge boulder at Ōshiko Jinja in Kobe, estimated at roughly 500–700 tons. Part of it is submerged, making it appear to float in a shrine pond that shrine records say has never dried. The video argues that its hollow and projecting nub mark an unfinished stone chamber and dates it to the late Kofun period, about 1,400 years ago. The cited results do not substantiate the claimed LiDAR survey establishing that date or purpose. 🪨
