    @kaniths, I thought you were focusing on tamil instead you were focusing on tides?

    Then hold your head up all the more,
    This tide,
    And every tide;
    Because he was the son you bore,
    And gave to that wind blowing and that tide!

    Sorry, I've been MIA. Thank you ladies for keeping the thread going. Will post the next puzzle. On a bit of good news, @IL_Admin has fixed our index! Really really thankful! I was dreading having to do it again. I know the index is lagging behind the thread. I will make it current in a day or two.

    Answer to Puzzle # 7098 Yonaguni Monument

    Yongaguni Monument also known as "Yonaguni (Island) Submarine Ruins" is a submerged rock formation off the coast of Yonaguni the southernmost of the Ryukyu Islands, in Japan. This is also known as Japan's Atlantis. There is debate about whether the site is completely natural, a natural site that has been modified or a man-made artifact. The sea off Yonaguni is a popular diving location during the winter months due to its large population of Hammerhead Sharks. In 1987, while looking for a good place to observe the sharks, Kihachiro Aratake, a director of the Yonaguni-Cho Tourism Association, noticed some singular seabed formations resembling architectonicstructures. Shortly thereafter, a group of scientists directed by Masaaki Kimura of the University of the Ryūkyūsvisited the formations.

    The formation called ’Turtle’ has since become a relatively popular attraction for divers despite strong currents.

    The monument consists of medium to very fine sandstones and mudstones believed to have been deposited about 20 million years ago. Most of the formations are connected to the underlying rock mass (as opposed to being assembled out of freestanding rocks).

    The main feature (the "monument" proper) is a rectangular formation measuring about 150 by 40 m (490 by 130 ft) and about 27 m (90 ft) tall; the top is about 5 m (16 ft) below sea level.

    Some of its details are said to be:
    • Two closely spaced pillars which rise to within 2.4 m of the surface
    • A 5 m (16 ft) wide ledge that encircles the base of the formation on three sides
    • A stone column about 7 m (23 ft) tall
    • A straight wall 10 m (33 ft) long
    • An isolated boulder resting on a low platform
    • A low star-shaped platform
    • A triangular depression with two large holes at its edge
    • An L-shaped rock
