Megalithic Marvels - Ancient Artifacts Discovered in Japan that Shouldn’t Exist | Wandering Wolf

Episode Date: July 7, 2026

…that is, these ancient artifacts discovered in Japan shouldn’t exist as far as mainstream archaeology is concerned… In this exclusive interview, I sit down with friend, researcher and explorer Michael Collins  AKA “Wandering Wolf.” Fresh back from his recent expedition to Japan, Michael guides us on a journey deep into a remote region of Japan where some very little known ancient sites have revealed some very mysterious out-of-place-artifacts. How could the ancients, using primitive hand-tools, have precision fashioned some of these impossible relics as the mainstream narrative theorizes? Are these astounding discoveries actually far older than we know? Were they made with ancient technology by a lost civilization?FOLLOW MICHAEL HERE JOIN ME ON A TOUR HERE

It's good to connect with you again. And yes, I absolutely consider you a friend, brother. It's really good to see you, Derek. Awesome to have you back, man. Time is going to fly. We only have about 45 minutes. but you just did the most epic adventure tour to Japan, seeing all of these rare sites, namely the rock ship that I can't wait to hear about.

So give us a little life update, man. How's life? How's Wandering Wolf? And I just will start with this tour wherever you want to take it. Yeah, tour was incredible. We had 80 people on a two-week tour. Holy cow. The Japan with Gary from Nerdronics,

a quarter black Garrett, x-ray, a bunch of people. And it was incredible and had the best time. Got to meet some amazing people. On these sites that we visited were amazing. You mentioned one, the spaceship stone. But we hit Ishino-Hodin, Ishibutai Kofun, the Masuda no Iwafuni. which is the spaceship stone, octopus stone, and Sakafunishu stone, which is the Saki boat stone.

These names are, I think I said all of them correctly, which a lot of them are centered around the Osaka region. So you can hit a lot of stuff in that area there. But yeah, it was an incredible trip and seeing these things in person. You know, it's kind of the case everywhere you go. I'm sure as you know, like pictures never really do these places justice. You see something like the spaceship stone and pictures of it. And it looks amazing, but when you're up next to it in person, this thing is massive. It's just enormous and incredible to be able to stand right up next to and see what's going on there.

Yeah. So been a lot going on. been a lot of fun. And Japan's amazing. It's like the perfect country ever. I mean, the culture and everything there and the food. And it's just so nice and clean and friendly. And yeah, it was a really great trip.

You're saying Japan's a little bit cleaner than Egypt? Just a little bit. Yeah, just a little bit cleaner than Egypt. Yeah. I bet you guys had. you have some amazing sushi. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we tried everything.

Some of us did. And, yeah, we had some non-sushi eaters in the group. And they got booed every time we ate. Was there anything wild, like crazy you ate there that was... You know, I like everything and I'm down with eating, like, really weird stuff. I'll be honest with you, the weirdest thing I ate there that I maybe didn't like was eggplant. It was like an eggplant sushi thing. And I just, I didn't like the texture of it. It was, felt like I was eating an eel. Beans that are like, that they put on sushi,

apparently a lot of people don't like those. I guess my taste buds are good with it because I didn't have a problem with that. But everybody else did not like that. Now, was this your first trip to Japan personally? No. Excuse me. I've been to Japan, but it'd been about 26 years. So I served in the military and was deployed over to Korea and went to Japan when I was about 21, 21, 22. Yeah. And so, yeah, it's been, yeah, been a quarter century since I'd been to Japan. So, yeah.

And I wasn't doing the same things back then. Right. I was 22 years old, so my focus was more on going out and partying rather than being ancient sites. Well, thanks again for your service. Oh, thank you. And, okay, so take us now to, you were there in your 20s, you probably didn't see hardly any of these sites that you saw this time. And so 20 some years later, is that 20 years later? Yeah.

Yeah, 25, 26 years. You're now into the ancient history realm. You've learned of these mysterious sites. So it takes into why you wanted to go to Japan and, you know, like approaching, let's start with this rock ship of Masuda. What's it like to approach this through the bamboo jungle? What's the mainstream narrative? And then give us your theories on what you really believes going on.

Well, it was totally different. Our choice on Japan was, had a lot to do with several things, logistics with 80 people. We knew we were going to do an 80-person tour. Japan is one of the few countries. I don't think we could pull that off in Egypt, for example. Maybe you could, but it be a lot. And Japan just, as a society, just functions so well. You know, trains are, I mean, to the minute on time.

you could we and we did you can and we did utilize the public transportation system for getting around with 80 people and had no problem wow and I don't know that there's many places in the world where you could do that um so it was a logistics things but also Japan seems to be kind of criminally overlooked in terms of their ancient sites and these megalis um you know some people like yourself and hugh and different people have covered these but not a ton, not in comparison to a lot of other sites around the world like Egypt or Peru that get all the attention. And so we wanted to do that as something that was kind of, it just felt like it checked all the boxes. It hit the logistical markers for something in a tour this big. It gave us the opportunity to visit sites that are often overlooked or don't get the attention that they deserve.

I had never been there. And so it was another, you know, way to, you know, check a site. site off my list of places that I'd been. And then, yeah, you know, you get to these sites like the spaceship stone. And you're seeing, you know, I was seeing things that were very similar to other ancient sites around the world that I visited that often get overlooked in those pictures. So, you know, you have the size of that stone. You have the carving into the stone and these right angle cuts and different stuff. But the thing that really stood out to me was if you look at the base of the the base of the stone, you can see where they're actually working. They were in the process of

working the stone. And so I've seen this before where they cut into the stone blocks. And then they try to remove that. Right. So as they're shaping the stone, pieces are coming off in smaller segments. instead of just chipping away whole at the entirety of the stone. And what I feel like this was for is it prevents cracking and breaking and imperfections in the stone by working small sections at a time. So they chisel into the stone, into these square little sections, and the entire base of the stone around all sides but one has these features on it, where they came in and cut out, cut into it outlines of these blocks all through the base of the stone around three sides of it.

Possibly four, but the higher side that looks completely finished is half of it's still covered. It sits in the hill as it's sloped. And, you know, a lot of people are wondering, why was this created? Why was it just left here and not finished? well, to the point of working the stone and preventing you have things like Aswan Quarry in different sites around the world that have been abandoned, right, due to imperfections or breaks or whatever, right? They abandoned that stone. And I think that's what happened here. As I started looking over the picture and going back over what I documented while I was there, you can see

that there's a crack that goes from the top down to where they were breaking the stone off on the on um orientation wise i don't know how to say but if you were looking if you were looking at the stone from the slope it'd be on the left side so um and i have quite a bit of pictures uh of that showing that but the it looks like there is a crack that goes down and i think possibly that this is being worked for something that still doesn't give us an answer as to what the stone was being shaped to be used for but they possibly stop working that stone and finishing it to completion because there might have been an imperfection that happened in the process of creating it.

Visitactivia.ca for more details. Yeah, just kind of like the unfinished obelisk, like you say, very interesting. So you're saying up close it appears that they were using manual hand tools to work it. Potentially, yeah. I mean, that looks like what was being. Now, you know, I will say there's areas of where from the top, you know, they were working it clearly from the top down where there's a level of smoothness there that I don't know that could be experienced. blind from hand tools.

So this outer shell, if you will, that they were working on removing seems to be like this a rougher work working progress to just get these chunks off into a closer to the shape that was going to get the fine detail work done on it. Because when you go over to the other side that's more buried into the slope of the hill, that side's basically finished and it's so smooth. you're not getting that level of smoothness from the type of work that was being done on breaking off these sections, nor would you be able to do that with the interior grooves of these perfectly cut ledges and right angles on the top of the stone. So you couldn't do that.

You couldn't do that same level of precision with the same techniques and hand tools and working if that's what was done. with that lower base part that they were trying to break off these little sections. So, you know, that's a hard one to say, but it doesn't look like the same type of work. I think that the outside area that I'm talking about specifically with these sections that they were creating to break off was done in a bit more of a kind of crude manner because they could to just get it down to a workable shape. So kind of similar to the, what we've seen in the Cerepium Labyrinth where you've got these different boxes in different states of finishing, right? Some are like almost totally finished in a finished state. Some are semi-finished. And then some are just kind of like rough cut.

So it kind of sounds like you're saying maybe something similar because I had a buddy Hank. Hank, if you're listening, you're awesome. He went to this rock ship or spaceship, whatever they call it, and took a pretty epic video of him climbing around it. And yeah, the curvature, kind of when you describe the finished area of it, man, it looks so precision and smooth. And then those two big cuts in the middle, it looks kind of like, you know, the megalithic hallmarks there.

Yeah. And that's a good reference point of the serapium. It's like, yeah, I think, you know, why use precision tools if they were available on just shaping it down to, you know, you're just breaking off chunks to get it down to a workable state. And if the crack that I saw was the reason for the abandonment of completing that stone, it might have just been an imperfection in the stone that was hit just right and cracked up the side. you know but I don't I have I've never seen anybody point that out or notice it I'm not I don't know if anybody has yet or not so that's new to me yeah I've never heard that yeah and I just saw it in my in my pictures just a couple days ago so I've only been thinking about this and looking at it for maybe a couple days so is that like similar to Granite or Or is it granite? Yeah, I believe it's granite. It is, I think I have that here.

It's a single piece of granite. Yeah. Oh, just a rock outcropping that's protruding up out of the earth, natural. It's 800 tons. Wow. Estimated 800 tons. Yeah, and it sits in this weird space because it's on a hill. in a forested area of bamboo.

It's beautiful. It's like walking through a samurai movie, you know? And, you know, the surrounding areas, you know, it's not flat. That whole area is hilly. But, yeah, it is in a really odd space to be working stone to then try to move. Yeah. Have you, the name, you know, I've heard rock ships, spaceship rock, are these old names like ancient, legendary names, or is this more modern day names people came up with? And did you come across any legends about this? What were they? They told us, there was a legend around that site, but I can't, I can't remember it off the top of my head. And I think the, you know, the rock ship of my, Masuda or the spaceship stone is relatively now.

A lot of these sites are attributed to, you know, the 1400s and younger. You know, so they aren't pushing the dates, but it's very similar to like the dates that are being given on Peru. Right. You know? And the cool thing about that with both. countries in both sites is that we have historic we have history right we know what people were capable of in terms of you know construction and what was available to the people at those times and stuff and there's nothing in both areas in peru and here in japan for these types of megalithic um blocks and constructions

to suggest that people would were capable of this in the 1400s 1500s or 1600s i mean these isn't even it's something that we would people would even attempt to do now nobody's working 800 ton single block stones in modern time and i i frankly think the idea of like that i don't understand why the why the idea of like especially when you get to talking about stuff like peru and things they're just this unwillingness to push the dates back further and look at these sites as inherited rather than being built by people that, you know, weren't using the will and our idea is that they were attaching a whole bunch of ropes to these things and dragging them up mountainsides and cliffs and stuff.

So it's just, you know, yeah, so the dates always I take with the grain of salt. That's the accepted history. But, you know, when you go and look at these things, in person, it just doesn't really add up. You know, an 800 pound stone puts it up there with some of the largest megalists on the planet. And, you know, and this particular site rarely gets included in a top 10 list of the largest megalithic stones in the world or whatever, right? I'd never seen it there.

Yeah. But that's an 800-ton stone. which is insane. That is insane. 800 tons of granite. Yeah. And it's just, it's hard not to chuckle when you hear the dating again on all these sites from the mainstream that they want us to believe that this 800 ton piece of granite was precision fashioned in the dark ages, you know.

And we couldn't even really replicate it today without. modern machinery and power tools surrounding it. And if we could even do that, if we could bring the modern machinery and electricity, but in the dark ages, no problem. They just went at it. It's always mind-blowing to me that they're so willing to accept that, as opposed to just saying that this stuff was already here in an age where people were like, had figured this out.

and then something happened that, you know, where they lost the understanding of how to do that. Yeah, I don't, you know, we have the information of the cultures and societies that existed around the attributed dates to these megalithic structures. And it just doesn't make sense, you know. Another thing that gets me, this rock ship kind of reminds me in a way of some of these solar clocks or sun dials we see all over the Kusko region. You know, it's basically a natural rock outcropping you'll see in the Kusko Highlands. It's just been precision cut. And I did a recent episode on this where I'm talking about how these were all connected to the Kori Kansha Temple in Kusko. So they had this advanced system based on the solstice alignments where the light hits these things and the shadows are cast.

And it's basically keeping time and seasons. Some of them, the Intuantanas were used for seed enhancement and were just blasting the area with energy. So it was highly advanced. But clearly, anybody can see that this is a natural rock that has been precision cut on, right? Right. yet it never ceases to amaze. There's always comments. And one of the first comments is always,

Just style you love and quality you can trust. Visit Wayfair.ca. Wayfair, every style, every home. I was hoping that you would go there. It's always geopolar. Everything. I'm going, I'm going, how is a that? rock poured.

Yeah. It just blows my mind. I'm a, look, I'm not against geopolymer. I think that there's, I think there's a great case for geopolymer, especially places like Saxo-Wamon. There's things that I've pointed out at Saxo-Wamon to strengthen the argument of geopolymer. There is cross-hatching across the stones in the stone's surface that looks like those

stones at Saxo-Wamon were contained in bags like poured cement. and there's the indentions in the stone look like things you'd find at a construction site where you'd take a two by four and you press it in to hold that wall up and give it stability that's what it looks like it looks like these stones were poured and then i can see further evidence to make that argument at the site like that but when you start saying literally you know i've gotten arguments on x with people that the stone of the pregnant woman at the quarry site in ballback was is poured stone i'm like i'm like i'm I've been there and documented it. I've crawled under the lip of the stone. It's still attached to the bedrock. You can see the chisel marks. What are we talking about here? So when you start making an argument for literally everything in the world

is poured geopolymer, you lose me. And you can't with a lot, I don't want to, you know, overgeneralize here, but with a lot of the people in the geopolymer camp, you can't even have a conversation about it. that's civil back and forth. You're just wrong. So I just stopped talking online to that crowd while still thinking that there's arguments for geopolymer, but this isn't it.

Spaceship Stone isn't it. You know, the sites that you're talking about in Peru isn't it. The quarry sites around the world like Aswan and Stone of the Pregnant Woman, that's not it. That's not geopolymer. It's just not. Yeah. Yeah.

I know I guarantee you people are going to see photos or your video footage or when I post this and they're going to say it was bored. It wasn't. Tell us about this other site. I can't remember the name, but it's been featured on ancient aliens and all over. It's the big kind of rectangle rock that's concealed within this walled structure. And it's got like a point coming off one end. Oh, Ishina Hoden. Yes.

Amazing sight. It's massive. And it looks like it's floating. It's not. Again, it's attached to the bedrock. The entire area is an ancient quarry. You know, I've got a great shot of you can walk up above it because it's quarried down into the rock, into the hill mountain there. And so you can walk up above it. And I've taken a picture of it. off in the distance, you can see an entire cliff face that's been, that's flat. And that is,

they've been quarrying out of there for forever, transporting these stones down to the river, which sits right there and then, you know, taking these stones off. But that Ishinohodon is really incredible because it's this giant square with this, it looks like an old tube TV. Do you remember you know yeah I don't know we're about this maybe we're around the same age and but do you remember the big box TVs with the giant thing in the back that sticked out big tube TVs that's what it looks like and and it appears it looks like it's just floating above ground because it's been carved underneath and then um just above the ground level and water level and so the bottom basin there they had carved out

underneath it and it's filled up with water but it sits on a post basically that somehow eventually was going to be removed apparently if they were going to move that but it's a really interesting sight because it also has these grooves

going down the two sides of it almost like something could have like it was going to match up somewhere else and slide into place so you know it's got these two big grooved channels on the side of it that go in just a little bit where it looked like it would have locked in somewhere maybe in a wall or something i don't know

but um it's a really interesting site it's been turned into a temple um so there's a lot of you know you know it has the the water praying site and different things and stuff before you go in and it has the temple and people come and they pray and they you know do stuff and but you can walk into the area and walk around the base of it and be right up next to it touch it inspect it look at everything up close and then you can walk up around the top of it and see it from above which is really really cool to be able to do and then from up there you get a look out over the whole area and region from up on high you can see for miles and miles and miles It's really cool.

The other cool thing is looking across the way at that other mountain that I was talking about, you can see the process of quarrying over the years in the area. They're still coring out there today. To your eye, does it seem to be the same engineers that were doing the rock ship that we're making this? You think it's the same era? It doesn't look the same. Really? You know, yeah, there's nothing really about the style.

Just from the little bit that you can see from each one, right? These are individual stones, but they don't match up in terms of style. You know, one is very smooth. The spaceship stone is very smooth. I mean, it does have those right angles and the square cutouts in the center. of it, but otherwise it looked like it was being shaped to be very smoothed and polished. Ishinohoden is not that. It's very square, angular.

The point that comes off the back, it's like a giant nub, but not. It's this big kind of triangle piece that comes off of it. And that whole piece, it's all pointed and angled. So everything is very angular on that one. And the spaceship's known as very rounded. Also, the Ishina Hauden, there's no smoothness that looks like they had finished it to a degree, but just hadn't removed it from the bedrock. And there was nothing, unless it's just been so worn down and weathered down,

but there's nothing really, even on the underparts, smooth about it. Yeah, you know, if they were from the same, era that one would have been used for something very very practical or industrial like a wall or something whereas the other one the spaceship stone looked like it might have been more ornamental or decorative in some capacity fascinating was there any other sites there that we should cover i know there's some crazy megalithic looking tombs almost dolman style anything else Yeah, the Ishibutai Kofoon is like the largest kofoon there. That one was really, it's massive.

And that one was really interesting because it, you know, it's very similar to mounds and things in America. It's exposed now, but it used to would have been completely covered. It's very similar to things like Kenneth Longbarrow. in the UK and things in Dolmans and things like that and its type of construction and the interesting part about that is that that site is said to have been a

that there was a Korean Lord who had come over there and was buried in that site. Now they attribute the construction of that potentially to that lord the reason why that's interesting is that one of the highest concentrations of dolmens in the world is in south korea um and then you have this structure that very much resembles the shape and constraint now it is kind of a chamber but it very much still in its and its design and construction resembles a lot of these types of

of dolmens but that site is incredible then you have the sake stone which is the it's it's not anywhere as big as the other ones it's sake finishi stone it's the um and it's the this carved stone with all these grooves and channels in it um and that stone it's it's still large it's nowhere near as big as any of these others. But it's the carvings in it that are very interesting. And then on top of that, you have the stone has been broken off on two sides. And the way it's been broken off is very interesting to look at it.

It has these where it's been like chiseled down into sections going down it. And then it split the rock. And then you're able to see how they were doing that all along the sides, which is really interesting. there's a lot of stuff there's a lot of cool stuff in Japan crazy and it's so easy to do and visit and do all these sites in Japan

it's so easy to get around so affordable right now that it's a great trip for anybody to do easy solo trip for people that they want to do

and a crazy fun group trip if people want to do a tour it's amazing man. It sounds like you're going to be putting out your videos about this trip soon, right? Yeah, next week we'll be dropping our first Japan video from the trip. And yeah, it'll be a lot of good stuff coming out. And then we're launching our next tour here.

Should be coming out, I think this month, we're going over to the UK. And so we're doing another, this will be another really big one, 80% trip over to the UK. Doing a whole bunch of stuff and getting around over there. Cool, man. So people can go to Wandering Wolf, YouTube. And you've got a couple channels now. So tell everybody where they can follow you and find your tours and look forward to

your next big video. Yeah, absolutely. The best thing to do if you want to find out all the stuff, tours and everything like that and the channels you can find on Wonderingwolf Productions.com. on the website and then the main channel is just Wandering Wolf on YouTube. I have a live stream channel, Wandering Wolf Live. We stream every week on that. I don't know what else I got going on.

Yeah, those would be the best places to find everything. And then, of course, on social media, you can follow me from any of those places you can find and social media stuff where I put out, you know, Instagram and Facebook, you'll be able to see a lot more things like pictures and up-closed shots of different stuff if you just want to look at things really quickly and things that I post while I'm traveling. Very cool. Well, hey, it looks like we got a few more minutes.

Before we, I let you go, let me ask you about your latest thoughts on Sagewall in Montana. You've been putting out some recent content about that. So everyone's starting to talk about it again. Yeah. Give me the latest. I had to stir the pot again. See if I could get, you know, kick the hornets nest, so to speak. Yeah, you know, I may still be getting out there this year.

Again, I've been going every year for about four years. The property owners, Chris and Linda, have been opening their property to people to be able to come out and view the sage wall there in Montana. Your summer travels deserve an upgrade.

And they've been funding research into the site because we can't get an archaeologist to come out there and look at it. So they've been funding their own research. And they've done ground penetrating radar, lidar of the site. They've done lab tests on the actual stone and the surrounding area, all sorts of stuff. And they've just open source that to the public on their website. So you can go to the sagemountain.org.

and check out their website under SageWall linked on their website. There's a section there on research, and you can go look at all the research that they've done. They've just made it public in the last couple months, and you can check everything out there. Sage Wall is a massive, what appears to be, megalithic wall in the middle of Montana, and they're doing the work and doing it right

to try to get an answer to that question and see if we can get definitive proof that this was manmade or not. And it's really cool because either way, we're learning about the world and everything and a lot of different processes. So it's a lot of fun. And the site is incredible.

Like I said, I've been up there for four years in a row. I'm hoping to make this my fifth. And yeah, whenever I get new information like this, I like to just put it out there and let people know what's going on. Also, it's in America and you can go visit. Yeah. Yeah, that site is such an anomaly.

You got to come up there with this. Check it out. Yeah, it's such an anomaly because you see some of these photos and, you know, footage. And you kind of go, yeah, I think it's just really exotic natural formations. And then you see these shots of the Tizer Dolman. And it's just like, how in the world did that rock get on top of those long boulders? Yeah. Yeah.

And I've marked, I've actually, so people can go out and check out these things out themselves. sage wall is on private property, but the other places are in public areas and parks. And I've marked them all on Google Maps. So you can find them and go out there and check them out yourself now. Oh, that's good to know. So you're saying the sage wall, the big one, is on this private property, but Tizer Dolman and these others are public. Yeah.

Yeah, they're in national parks. And so if you look them up on Google Maps, you can find them now. I've jailmarked them on Google. Thanks to Wandering Wolf. We can now go see these. Yeah, and then there's that one area. I don't know where it is, but it's in one of these areas where it literally looks like there's three knobs or nubs.

That's a Tyser Doman. Okay, that's that. So I see that and I'm going, this is the hallmark of artificial, you know? Yeah, so if you walk up behind Tyser Doman, and then continue to follow the ridge back, you'll find it on kind of like a wall, a rock wall.

Okay. Yeah. Wow. It's a very interesting area. Just watch, just pay, watch out for ticks. And maybe burn some bear mace. If you're doing Tyser Dolman or any of these places that are deeper out in the woods, Tizer Dolman's a little hike.

But ticks and bears. Yeah, that's good to know. I can I hate I lived in the south years ago in the national area I remember one time I was turkey hunting like the first year I'd move there I didn't know about the dangers of ticks and so I'm out there thinking I'm just going to bag me this big tom turkey and I was laying down on the ground you know behind this log and I'm feeling something itching me right oh I stand up And I was, I was covered in ticks. No. And like I had this moment where I just froze in horror. Before I started to rip off my clothes, like almost naked and they were all embedded in me, man.

It was freaky. Oh, dude. That's like my nightmare. There's not, I'm not even bothered by bears, but ticks. The same thing happened to me up in Canada and I basically had to get naked in the woods and shake out all my clothes. and expect my whole body. Just like for 30 minutes rubbing my whole body, trying to, you know, just, it's just,

and then you can't get that feeling out of you. You get home, you want to burn your clothes. And then you get in the shower and you're just sit in the shower and you're just feeling your hair. And you know, if you're beard or facial hair, you're just, everything is, I feel like I want to, I need to shave my whole body. I hear you, man.
