The Takenuchi Manuscript is a series of cryptic documents that a man named Takenuchino Matori rewrote with a mixture of Japanese and Chinese characters 1,500 years ago.
The test is taken from even more ancient manuscripts. According to legend, the "gods" wrote the original manuscript in divine hieroglyphics many millennia ago.
An unusual manuscript describes the history of mankind from the moment of creation until the advent of Christianity. It speaks of an era when people lived in peace and harmony under the control of the son of the Supreme God.
Takenuchi's texts were kept by the Takenuchi family, descendants of Takenuchino Matori, the son of the legendary Japanese hero Takenuchi no Sukune. Yaamane Kiku's book The True History of the World Hidden in Japan states that the manuscripts were passed down from generation to generation and were kept at the Kosokotaijingu Temple on Mount Omijin in Toyama Prefecture.

It is unclear how Takenuchino Matori was able to translate from the "divine language." But according to modern transcriptions, Takenuchi's texts describe the history of all countries in a "divine age." It tells of four periods in the ancient world that began about 300 billion years ago.
Seven generations of "heavenly gods" in the Tenjing era.

The Yoko / Koto era - 25 generations.
Fukiezu Dynasty - 73 generations.
The Kanyamoto Dynasty - 125 generations, beginning in 660 BC and continuing to this day.
It is said in the beginning that there was a sea of liquid mud before creation. It took 22 billion years for the world to form. The first God and Goddess appeared, heaven and earth were separated, the Sun and the Moon were created. Gradually, over six generations, the Earth was formed. In the fifth generation, the gods gave birth to a radiant-bodied nation-creator who descended Mount Kurai in Japan.
Over the course of seven generations, various creatures have created technology, including transportation, writing, weather control, agriculture, and computers. The seventh generation gave rise to world emperors, starting with Sumera-Mikoto. In the Takunuchi manuscript, Sumera-Mikoto is called the "Son of the Sun" because he is descended from the Sun God.
The children of the Sun God founded the highest ancient dynasty, and after 8 billion years their offspring descended into the world to found their own countries. The Takenuchi manuscript says that humanity did not arise as a result of evolution, but was created by the gods.
The sons of the gods created people of five races (white, red, blue, yellow and black) and scattered them across the Earth. Japan became the center of the world, from where the gods created races and settled them in other regions.
In the Koto era, there was a single world government in the world, headed by the first divine emperor Sumera-Mikoto. Sumera Mikoto divided the world into 16 regions and appointed a king in each region.
The coat of arms of Sumera-Mikota is a chrysanthemum with 16 petals, symbolizing 16 regions. This chrysanthemum is today used as the imperial seal and coat of arms of the Japanese emperor's family. She is also featured on Japanese passports.
Chrysanthemum with 16 petals is known not only in Japan. She is depicted on the Babylonian gate of Ishtar, in the Alhambra palace in Spain and in some places in Rome, Egypt and other regions. Is this a coincidence, or were there connections between these regions in ancient times?
The office of the world government was located in the Hida Mountains in Japan. The Kosokotayjingu Temple was considered the most sacred. It was dedicated to the ancestors of humanity. The temple was built of stainless steel called hihirokane. According to the Takenuchi manuscript, people of all five races came to the temple for the annual festival.
The documents state that Sumera-Mikoto traveled frequently around the world. He traveled in an air vehicle called ameno-ukifune ("flying ships"). The places where the flying ships landed were called "khane" (winds). In Japan, many place names include the word hane. These were ancient landing strips. Even today, one of the airports in Tokyo is called Haneda Airport.
The social structure was based on agriculture. The land belonged to the gods, but was ruled by people. Although people received land for rent, they did not have to pay taxes. Nobody controlled or exploited them. People enjoyed the fruits of their labor. Sumera Mikoto wanted to bring happiness to the people who loved and respected him.
But Sumera-Mikoto decided who would become the king of the region and who would not be suitable for this. He endowed the ruler with power or took power depending on the abilities of the person.
This echoes the ancient Sumerian texts, which say that the ancient kings were directly appointed by the gods, and the very first kings were themselves gods.
The text mentions the construction of numerous "hiramitos" ("temples") for the sun god. The word "pyramid" supposedly comes from the word "hiramito". The pyramids were man-made, or the shape of the pyramids was given the shape of natural hills. Sumera Mikoto used the pyramids to communicate with the heavenly gods.
As in similar legends, the golden age ended when people stopped worshiping the gods. In this case, it happened during the Fukiezu dynasty, which ended a thousand-year prosperity. Due to natural disasters, two continents - Tamiara and Miyoi, sank in the ocean.
At the end of the dynasty, a 200-meter tsunami devastated Japan. These calamities have arisen due to the fact that the soul of people has deteriorated. People forgot Sumera Mikota, became arrogant and caused the wrath of the gods.
The most striking moment in Takenuchi's manuscript is the mention of Moses and Jesus who allegedly ended their lives in Japan.
It is even more surprising that their graves are located there. The so-called tomb of Jesus (who allegedly lived to be 106 years old) is located in the remote mountains of northern Japan in the quaint little town of Shingo in Aomori Prefecture.
The very name of the town is Kirisuto by Sato, which means "city of Christ". A few minutes' drive from the center, there is a grave with a high wooden cross, 2.5 meters high, surrounded by a fence.
According to the Takenuchi manuscript, Moses also died in Japan at the age of 583. His alleged grave is located at the foot of Mount Hodatsu in Ishikawa Prefecture.
It is now impossible to find out the authenticity and origin of the Takenuchi documents, because the original manuscript was confiscated by the government and later lost.
According to Ichiro Yamane, the grandson of Kiku Yamane, who wrote The True History of the World Hidden in Japan, the Takenuchi manuscript is propaganda material written by the Japanese military. They wanted to justify the idea that the emperor of Japan should rule the world. Indeed, according to the manuscript, mankind settled from Japan, and Japan was the center of the world.
In the 19th century, Kiyamaro Takenuchi founded an offshoot of Shintoism based on the Takenuchi manuscript.
Today many experts believe that the Takenuchi manuscript is simply a clever forgery. Others believe there is some truth to it. Since the original text is forever lost, this mystery will probably never be solved.
