Welcome to What The Heck season 4! This podcast explores unexplained phenomena using stories gathered from various sources, then applies an academic research method to find theories and solutions for each one. So far, we've been unsuccessful in finding any concrete answers, but a few of the stories we've covered have been solved. Today, we're off to Japan, to look at a structure found under the sea. In the 1980s, divers discovered it, but it's been the subject of much discussion. Some people believe that it's evidence of an ancient culture, lost to the ocean due to tectonic activity in the area. Where is the structure? Who could have built it? What are the theories? Listen in to hear all the theories!
