There are some things pointed out that they may be a relief of animals around the point of remains. For example, they look very much like a relief of a turtle, a manta and a manta ray. Graham Hancock said, “there are lots of remains owning such a relief in South America” when he looked at them. In fact, some monuments modeling on a figure such as a llama and a condor are scattered throughout the remains of Q'fenqo in the days of the Inca Empire in Peru, where a trace of a snake and the sun were drawn on the sidewall of the rocky mountain can be seen. They have regarded a manta as a divine messenger in Okinawa just like many maritime people have deified a turtle. Might these reliefs carved on the submarine remains show the state of people's religious belief in ancient times?
