YAMATAI-koku HIMIKO 1 (5): WAkoku-TAIRAN and Queen enthrone

9. WAkoku Tairan is Scenario 2

In the previous section, we mentioned that Scenario 1 is highly likely to be the Starting-Point of schistosomiasis in the JP HOMAN River. But history has moved on with Scenario 2 “鼠” (Mouse), despite the fact that “Mouse are contradictory on the East Bank.”

According to Scenario 2, the Starting-Point “永岡” (NAGAOKA) was punished as a major sinner at the Starting-Point of schistosomiasis on the JP HOMAN River. This is the Jar-Coffin Type-Ⅱa,Ⅱb,Ⅱc period. “隈・西小田地区遺跡群” (KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku ruins) and “横隈” (Yokokuma) of the same YAMATAI-koku system, who were a little downstream, were punished too. This is the Jar-Coffin type Type-Ⅲa,Ⅲb,Ⅲc period. These two ruins are a little downstream and there is a gap of about 10 years. The West Bank of the JP HOMAN River, “宝満川西岸地区” was punished one after another. Although it is located on the west side of the JP HOMAN River, it is a peculiar area that is still outside Saga Prefecture now.

The excavations have unearthed a large number of headless skeletons and severe war-wound skeletons in “永岡” (NAGAOKA), “隈・西小田地区” (KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku), and “横隈” (Yokoguma). Here, we will look at the war-wound skeletons of the NAGAOKA Remains and the KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku Ruins.

10. Indefinite War-wound skeleton

“切先” (KISSAKI, Point of Sword) is the top of the sword. This KISSAKI breaking is common as it is thin polished. The examples of the skeleton which included KISSAKI in KAMEKAN coffin, are popular. As the skeleton was under the poor conditions, small skeleton pieces and clear KISSAKI is identified in coffin. But KISSAKI is not a side funeral products. Therefore the examples included KISSAKI were picked up in “図-3下”.

The examples included KISSAKI was mapped in “図-3下”. Black filled circle, “弥生中期後半” (Late of the Middle-YAYOI period), is concentrated in NAGAOKA and KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku area. The main battle field of WAkoku-Tairan is this area. The considerable numbers of indefinite War-wound skeleton were hidden other than the definite Headless and War-wound skeleton mentioned above. But this is a indefinite story. Here the previously mentioned definite Headless and War-wound skeleton are continued. 


11. Headless and severe War-wound

In “NAGAOKA 2nd” and “KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku”, which was punished, many characteristic headless and war-wound skeletons have been excavated. The next pictures are the photograph, which the hunted head was only buried in small-sized Jar-Coffin.

For the mains of KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku, the official reports [REF.KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku 38] was published. But there is no PDF. In this case, true Headless and War-wound skeleton were written out from the printed, which was purchased from the stock of the CHIKUSHINO-city Historical Museum. The report was written by classifying each the excavated Remains points, from 1 to 13 point. This report is highly complete, and the traces of battles are clearly represents. True Headless and [War-wound skeleton] were written out below.

The following findings [REF.KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku 38,Appendix Ⅱ,pp1-10] are attached for the photos.

<Original>゛

部位は“左頭頂骨”。

肉眼では“左頭頂骨の矢状縫合部に接して、ほぼ矢状方向に長さ4cm、幅5mmの切創が認められる。傷の左切縁はかなり鋭利な滑面をなすが、右切縁は不整な鋸刃状を呈している。なお、創は板間層に留まり、内板には達していない。また、この切創部に生活反応は認められないが、色相が他の骨表面と同色を呈し、特に赤色顔料が傷面にも付着していることから、発掘時等に付けられた傷である可能性は排除される。”。

診断は“切創”。

考察は“傷の辺縁がかなり滑らかなことから、鋭利な刃物によってつけられたものと考えられるが、石剣か、銅剣や鉄剣によるものか、利器の特定は困難である。上記のような傷の観察所見から、この男性の左上方から対面する相手を想定すると、右効きの相手が剣を振り降ろしたかたち切り込まれた状況が推察される。”

A sword was swung down from the enemy. His head was slashed. It must be an iron sword with a sharp cut instead of a bronze sword. It is a instant death due to the lack of the life reaction in the slashed part. It is certain that it is a war-wound corpse.

The following findings [REF.KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku 38,Appendix Ⅱ,pp1-10] are attached for the photos.

<Original>゛

部位は“右眼窩上縁部”。

肉眼では“右眼窩上縁のやや外側寄りに切痕を認める。1mm程度の骨間隙が眼窩上縁から内側上方へ伸びてほぼ眉弓部に達し、さらにこの傷から発した「ひび」が彎曲しながら冠状縫合にまで達している。一方、傷は眼窩内上壁にも1センチ以上にわたって骨間隙を残しているが、眼窩上壁の大部分が破損しているため、傷が眼窩内のどこまで達していたかは不明である。ただ眼窩内の傷の一部には生活反応が認められ、さらに、切痕後端部の眼窩上壁には、おそらく径5mm以上に達すると思われる瘻孔が認められる。”。

診断は“眼窩上縁部の切創”。

考察は“この例も2K-491と同様に鋭利な刃物による傷と思われる。眼窩内上壁の切痕に一部癒合が見られ、瘻孔が形成されていることから考えて、受傷後、ある程度の期間は生存していたと考えられるが、炎症は当然、瘻孔を通じて眼窩から頭蓋腔内に達したものと考えられ、それが直接の死因になった公算が大きい。”

Injury from the temple to the top of the ear. The injured site is depressed with a width of 1 cm. His skull is also cracked with a 1mm crack above his right eye. The impact of the blow is also amazing. It feels like being hit with a sharpened stone sword or bronze sword. The opponent is left-handed. It wasn’t an instant death because some of the wounds showed the signs of life. But this wound seemed to be the cause of death. It is certain that it is a war-wound corpse. Figures 6 and 7 below show the cracks.

The following findings [REF.KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku 38,Appendix Ⅱ,pp1-10] are attached for the photos.

<Original>゛

部位は“前頭骨”。

肉眼では“前頭骨のほぼ中央部が長径5cm、短径3.5cmの楕円状に破壊、陥没している。”。

レ線では“陥没骨折周辺の骨折部に、内板、外板の分離した陰影が認められる。”。

診断は“陥没骨折”。

考察は“現代においては、成人の陥没骨折の原因としては、交通事故や落盤によるものが多いとされている。しかしながら、本症例の場合時代背景や当遺跡出土の他の人骨にも戦闘の痕跡が頻出することを考慮に入れれば、争いの際に鈍器で殴打された結果と考えるのが妥当であろう。隣接する部分に僅かに亀裂を残すだけで異常な変形が限局して認められ、内板の一部が剥離せずに内方へと折れ曲がったような変形を見せていることは、骨が未だ弾力性を有する時期生前に打撃が行われたことを示唆しており、また、治癒反応が見られないことから、打撃が致死的であったと見なせよう。“

A localized depressed fracture, similar to the piercing of a battleaxe. Since no battleaxe have been excavated in the northern part of Kyushu Island, it may be “鉄戈” (jp;TETUKA, iron dagger-axe) excavated at DOJOYAMA and TATEIWA. It’s a instant death. It is certain that it is a war wound corpse.

14. The story of Scenario 2

(Ⅱb) AD145 only NAGAOKA at first
(Ⅱc) Only NAGAOKA again

The first is important.N-K-10 is buried, orderly arranged in two rows in “NAGAOKA 1st” grave yard. In the earliest stage, the belly swelled in only two village, YOSHIGAURA and NAGAOKA. And fought. They are the villages in the Starting-Point area of the schistosoma of the JP HOMAN River at the final age of the middle Middle-YAYOI period. In dispute, YUNOKI soldier who was accompanied by YOSHIGAURA, suddenly cut a leader of NAGAOKA. In this step, it was not carried out to inform the victory with the displaying Headless. But the controlled time which was imaged from arranging orderly in two rows of only KAMEKAN, was finished. And the age moved on to “NAGAOKA 2nd”

On the other side, the soldier YUNOKI after that. In next KOFUN period, “YUNOKI No.2 Tumulus” was added on YUNOKI. It was thought that “YUNOKI No.2 Tumulus” was a next leader of YUNOKI. Specially in spite of very small village, a iron sword was offered in “YUNOKI No.2 Tumulus”. It was means that YUNOKI was received special praise, which should be respected as soldier.

<倭国武尊物語,START>
In the earliest stage of the schistosoma of the JP HOMAN River of the YAYOI period, the belly swelled only in two villages, point 1 YOSHIGAURA and point 2 NAGAOKA. While other villages look on, only YOSHIGAURA + YUNOKI and NAGAOKA threw the foul languages each other. Suddenly, a soldier of YUNOKI cut a leader of NAGAOKA. It declared that a Starting-Point of the schistosoma is NAGAOKA. It decided that NAGAOKA was a sinner. It was the just moment that the Big victory made. In spite of very small village, a soldier of YUNOKI was awarded a iron sword as special praise. He is a honor of soldier, who should be respected in WAkoku.
 “The first is victory. “
 “The early bird gets the worm.”

“14は玄室中央左壁際から出土した鉄刀である。全長を25.4cmを測り、鞘の木質が残る。” [REF.柚ノ木, p12]

<倭国武尊物語,END>

“NAGAOKA 2nd” is a graveyard where people are buried in disorder. The peaceful life expected from the neatly arranged cemetery of [NAGAOKA 1st] is over. The children’s bellies were all swollen with schistosoma, and they were buried in Jar-Coffins, Type-Ⅱa.

In the Type-Ⅱb period, the village chief N-SK-95 is cut down and the headless skeleton is excavated. WAkoku-TAIRAN began.Putting the decapitated head on public display, it informed the public widely that the Starting-Point of schistosoma is “NAGAOKA 2nd”.

In the Type-Ⅱc period, N-SK-100 is probably the son who succeeded the village chief of “NAGAOKA 2nd” at a young age. KN-3-K-55 must have come from KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku to assist “NAGAOKA 2nd” as regent and warrior. But both of them was also cut again. Since they were in full combat mode, the supports of YOSHIGAURA and YUNOKI was a full-fledged military officer. Therefore KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku part-time farmer KN-3-K-55 was easily defeated.

So far, only one helper from KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku has arrived. Other communities are on the sidelines. It is a confrontation only between the small villages of “NAGAOKA 2nd”, YOSHIGAURA and YUNOKI. In addition, since there are no other war-wound skeletons in “NAGAOKA 2nd”, it is assumed that the fight might be one-on-one duel between the chiefs of each village. “NAGAOKA 2nd” on the defeated side is discontinued in Type-KⅡc period without the next Jar-Coffin Type-Ⅲ period. On the other side, YOSHIGAURA and [YUNOKI] on the winning side became also a graveyard. YUNOKI also did not have the Jar-Coffin Type-Ⅲ period, and was discontinued in Type-KⅡc parallel period, “立岩(古)”, Tateiwa(old).

The two groups of villages in the Starting-Point area of the earliest Schistosoma Pollution of the JP HOMAN River, that is, “NAGAOKA 2nd” and YOSHIGAURA & YUNOKI, did not notice the high concentration of Schistosoma Pollution of the irrigation canal. They didn’t know about schistosoma at all. All of them died from schistosomiasis early by Type-Ⅱc period. There is a time lag between the next KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku, which was in Type-Ⅲa, -Ⅲb, -Ⅲc period.


(Ⅲa) Next, KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku
(Ⅲb) KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku again

KAMEKAN coffin TYPE Ⅲa:KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku armed up to defense as the great battle of Headless. The population of KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku was over several thousands. But the offense side also prepared for battle. The story of the offense side is below.

From Japanese folklore

MOMOTARO is one of Japanese folklores in “吉備” of Okayama-prefecture. Now Okayama-prefecture is ancient “吉備” area. MOMOTARO got “吉備団子” from grandfather and grandmother. MOMOTARO gave “吉備団子” to the dog, the monkey, and the pheasant. MOMOTARO went to “鬼ヶ島” in order to exterminate “鬼”. The dog, the monkey, the pheasant followed MOMOTARO. “鬼ヶ島” must be northern Kyushu-Island. “鬼” must be NAGAOKA and KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku in Fukuoka-prefecture of northern Kyushu Island.

Who was MOMOTARO ? Where was he ?

MOMOTARO must be “妻木晩田遺跡” (Mukibanda-iseki). They had already many iron tools in the middle Middle-YAYOI period. The dog must be “戈” with “遠賀川式土器” (ONGA-River-style pottery). The monkey was “猿田彦” (SARUTAHIKO) with “夜臼式土器” (Yuusu-style pottery). The pheasant may be the appareled and made-up Hausa people of northern Africa in “伊勢” (ISE), “熊野” (KUMANO), “唐古・鍵” (KARAKO-KAGI).

More details : It seems that “吉備団子” was iron axe. It was the intermediate of iron products by direct iron manufacture method. A criminal of the disappearance of “青谷上寺地遺跡” (Aoyakamijichi-iseki) was [KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku] in “鬼ヶ島”. Aoyakamijichi-iseki was a member of iron groups around “大蔵池南製鉄遺跡” and “吉備” of Okayama-prefecture. “特殊器台” was popular to display [Headless] at the late Middle-YAYOI period in “吉備”. In order to punish “鬼”,they plies on the Inland Sea of Japan and passed through the Kanmon Channel. And they landed in “夜臼”, SHINGU-machi, FUKUOKA-prefecture, Kyushu-Island. They built many big houses in “比恵遺跡” as the advanced base, from which they attack “鬼”, southern KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku.

From Records of Three Kingdoms in China

HIMIKO mentioned on WEI of Three Kingdoms. There is the equestrian groups in Japan. A certain number of the equestrian groups directly went down to south seaside of the Korean Peninsula at early 4th century. It was a rare at 2nd and early 3rd century in Japan. But there was a record, the shooting on horseback might be in “小値賀” (Ojika). It was recorded in “肥前風土記”. Ojika is a remote Island of “松浦” (Matsuura) in north-western Kyushu Island.

From excavations

Many weapons were excavated on CHIKUZEN-machi, old-YASU-machi, old-MIWA-machi and old AMAGI-city on the east side of the JP HOMAN River. There are not Headless and War-wound skeleton in the east side. The east side is the victory side. The number of houses is fifty thousands in TOUMA-koku.

But the biggest advanced base was “比恵遺跡”. And they opened the battle to KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku. This is WAkoku-Tairan. Total of both might be over one thousand.

 In [KAMEKAN] TYPE Ⅲa age:

  KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku was complete defeat.

 In [KAMEKAN] TYPE Ⅲb age

  But KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku was complete defeat again.


(Ⅲc) AD183 co-commended Queen

Because they could not win, the ceasefire agreement was concluded. AD 183. The number of houses is seventy thousands in YAMATAI-koku.

 Why was HIMIKO co-commended from the lost groups ?

 When a male King was supported, why did they fight again?

 When HIMIKO was co-commended, why did they not-fight ?

These questions were not fitted here. 

KN-6-K-77 is KAMEKAN TYPE Ⅲc. It is only head in a child pot. 

By a conclusion of the cease-fire agreement, the displayed head was returned. 

It was in the end of Emperor Ling of the Later-HAN in China. It's "中平". 

In Japan, it was at the earliest age in the early Late-YAYOI period. 

The Late-YAYOI period of Japan was the age of HIMIKO being Queen. It's  A.D.183 – A.D.248.

The above is scenario 2.


15. After, also Scenario 2

tap zoom (1.0MB)

Historically, there have been extensive civil engineering works focused on “Mouse Swimming”. The ruined Baekje refugees came to northern Kyushu. Furthermore, there was an urgent need to deal with the pursuit of Silla. “Naka no Oe no Oji”, who succeeded Emperor Saimei in a hurry, ordered the construction of “水城跡” in the northern part of Dazaifu. It is a stance to prevent Silla from landing in Hakata Bay and moving further south to invade Dazaifu. Fill a large moat with water, and if a Silla Mouse swims by, shoot it with a bow. It is a historical large-scale civil engineering building that focuses on “Mouse Swimming”.

Traces of the fort remain at “阿志岐城” in the east. At “阿志岐城”, a dam was built on the slope of the mountain, and the water gate was also designed with Mouse-blocks. All of them are historical large-scale civil engineering buildings that focus on the enemy’s “Mouse Swimming”.


As with the WAkoku-TAIRAN,

the history after that too.

It moved in Scenario 2, “Mouse Swimming”.


Scenario 1, “Contradiction of Mouse on the east bank of the Old-Riverbed” is just a sketch plan. This is a public sermon. In fact, in large-scale civil engineering work, it is necessary to psychologically always give the highest priority to the “Mouse Swimming”.

Schistosoma liver disease is caused by Mouse.

And pull out the Mouse fangs. ?

History is Mouse, Mouse, Mouse.
