Because Japan does not have a long history and culture, and because of the fraud of Japanese archaeological experts, the credibility of Japanese archeology is not high.
After the introduction of archeology to Japan, it also triggered an archaeological fever. Especially in the 1980s, when Japan's economy developed rapidly, as an island country, its economy was already the second largest economy in the world. In addition to economic success, they also hoped for cultural and political breakthroughs. Therefore, there were many archaeologists in Japan at that time. They conducted archaeological excavations across Japan to understand the origins and development of Japan's own culture.
It is understandable that although Japan was prosperous at the time, their hearts were always empty: they were politically and economically restricted by the United States, and their culture had long been influenced by China. Therefore, Japan is eager to find archaeological evidence to prove that Japanese culture originated in the country, not from China, and has always been independent, enhancing national pride and cohesion.
Not to mention that Japanese archaeologists did discover many so-called Japanese cultural heritages at that time, but reporters later discovered that they were fabricated by Japanese archaeologists. It turns out that they did not find these cultural relics at all, but they were just fake cultural relics deliberately made to cater to Japanese politicians and people. After the outbreak of the activity, the credibility of Japanese archeology was greatly reduced, and Japanese archeology has also declined since then. Extended information
In the 1980s, Fujimura Shinichi led Japanese archaeologists and was active in the Japanese archaeological community. At that time, the Japanese also felt that Fujimura Shinichi was a very powerful figure. And he even announced to the outside world that he had found stone tools in Japan 700,000 years ago, which means that Japan had already had human activities at that time. This is undoubtedly a proud thing for the Japanese. .
However, there was a serious Japanese reporter who was not immersed in such a complacent atmosphere like other Japanese. He had the ability to think independently, so he had doubts about it. Sure enough, one time, he caught Fujimura Shinichi red-handed with a camera he had hidden in advance. Fujimura Shin shoved stones into the ground, and the Japanese people were very angry after this incident was exposed. From then on, the archaeological history of Japan came to an end.
