Wednesday, February 1, 2017
5:30pm - 8:00pm

The University of Hawai‘i at Hilo will be hosting a public lecture by retired Cal State Professor of Systems Engineering and Distinguished UH Alumna Dr. Harriet Natsuyama. Natsuyama will present on megaliths and writing systems of Hinomoto, ancient Japan on Wednesday, February 1 at 5:30 p.m. in University Classroom Building Room 100.

Background

The people of Hinomoto created several writing systems full of physics and philosophy, and some of their language continues to survive in modern Japanese. A highly sophisticated megalithic system was also developed to function as a solar calendar observatory, which is still keeping track of time deep in the Hida Mountains of central Japan.

“Decoding Rocks and Words of Hinomoto: Hidden Wisdom of Space and Time” will examine the knowledge and wisdom contained in the ancient rocks and words which were recently uncovered and decoded after being hidden from view for thousands of years.
