"over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan" - (Just 15-meter High Walls Needed)

Tokyo...




Just 15-meter High Walls Needed (À seulement 10 mètres de murs élevés nécessaires)

Ancient Egyptians built great pyramids at Giza in 2560 BC.

Astonishingly, it was 560 years before Abraham left Ur in Mesopotamia.

Yet, surprisingly, the great engineering work of the pyramid did not contribute much to development of science and technology of mankind for 4570 years, namely to date.

It can be the biggest mystery in history. However, one thing true about the pyramid technology is that it is not dangerous at all to human beings. Yet, the biggest merit of the pyramid is in its elevation.


SECTION I: Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant

The Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant is situated just some 45 km (30 miles) from the epicenter of the 3/11 Tohoku Earthquake, Japan.

But it was safe on March 11, and it is still safe today.

(Small circles in the above map show intensity of earthquake motion; red is strong, and green, blue, and white are weak.)

On the other hand, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is situated some 180 km (110 miles) from the epicenter of the 3/11 Tohoku Earthquake, though it could not withstand the M9.0 shock and 15-meter high tsunamis.

What saved the Onagawa plant?

Onagawa Reactor Characteristics:
Unit... Type... Start of Operation... Electric Power... Contractor

Onagawa - 1... BWR... 1984... 524 MW... Toshiba
Onagawa - 2... BWR... 1995... 825 MW... Toshiba
Onagawa - 3... BWR... 2002... 825 MW... Toshiba/Hitachi

Fukushima Daiichi Features:

Fukushima I-4... BWR-4... Mark I... 1978... 784 MW... Hitachi

Put simply, it was an elevation on which the Onagawa nuclear plant was built. It was built on a 14.8-meter high hill on the shore. But, the great earthquake pulled the hill downward by 1 meter, so that its level above the sea became 13.8 meters. There came the tsunami with a height of 13 meters. Accordingly, the plant was not submerged due to the margin of 0.8 meters or 2.5 feet.

On the other hand, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was built by leveling a 35-meter high hill on the shore. It was eventually set on the ground at 0 meters above the sea level with just 6 meter high breakwaters. And, fatally, it was attacked by a 15-meter high tsunami in the evening of March 11, 2011, leading to the worst nuclear disaster ever since Chernobyl.

Nonetheless, the Onagawa nuclear power plant, run by Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. but not by Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc., suffered some damage:
The three units remain in cold shutdown since the earthquake of 11 March. Two hundred people who lost their homes to the tsunami took refuge in the plant.[11] The April 7th aftershock damaged 2 of the 3 external power lines to the plant but cooling was maintained through the third line.

In East Asia, the seasons have following colors:

Spring - Blue (Green); Summer - Red; Autumn - White; and Winter - Black

The four points of the compass have following colors:

East - Blue; South - Red; West - White; and North - Black

By the way, days of the week are described as follows in Japanese:
Monday - Gestsu-yo (Moon)
Tuesday - Ka-yo (Fire)
Wednesday - Sui-yo (Water)
Thursday - Moku-yo (Tree)
Friday - Kin-yo (Gold)
Saturday - Do-yo (Earth)
Sunday - Nichi-yo (Sun)

They are from ancient Chinese philosophy, but Chinese today do not use this calling of the days of the week. Anyway, Japanese even today live under a strong influence of ancient Chinese ideals. When calling a day of the weak, Japanese are virtually practicing philosophy. (However the concept of a week consisting of seven days was imported from the Christian West on start of modernization of Japan in late 1860's. )

And, nuclear power is unlikely to be introduced into any philosophy to be given a position in the calendar.


(Traditionally the summer in Japan is July and August. June is a chilly rainy season and September is fast to have the cool sea around the Japanese Archipelago. Yet, global warming has changed the condition, though global cooling may come at any time.
