Debate of the years

As I do my research on Japanese mythology, I am still looking it through the eyes of one of the Western nations, not as a Japanese would. There is evidence that some of people of Japan came through during the 400,000 bce with the move of the Ainu people into what is now Honshu, then the movement in the 3000 bce from people in Central Asia from means of Korea.

There is some evidence that says some of the people of Japan are directly related to the royal families of old Korea. In truth, the debate of whether they are Korean or not, is still a very tightly held and debated subject. In truth, I don't really want to take a side, though the way Joseph Campbell took it is that is just conjuncture and also flow of people's. It could be that we are looking a possible if not theoretical idea that the movements as seen in the book, Oriental Mythology by Joesph Campbell does show some sense of facts.

I am always looking at different possiblities to explain some of the culture. The idea of language in the linguistic histories is that Japanese is Altaic, which is languages that are ONLY found in Southern Asian nations and born from Chinese. In truth, the only thing born from Chinese in Japan is hanzi or Kanji. So you are looking at different theories that are possible for a nation to exist in its own way.

The theories that I am running into are from the books and also histories of Asia that I have checked out of the libraries. If anyone has any questions, yes, I will take to answering, but I'm kind of getting ready to move yet again.

Images from the Deep: Japan's Tsunami

Appears that someone sent down scuba divers to take a look at the wreckage of the terrible tsunami that struck Japan in March. Please take a look at this video at Scuba Divers Reveal Remnants of Japan Tsunami

Its a sad thing to look at, but yet, these memories will remain.
