This is a KOFUN (古墳), an ancient megalithic tomb constructed on the Japan Archipelago between the 3rd and 7th century of the human Common Era, after the death of Isus/Yesu/Hezukristo/Jezikri/Ciise Masiix/Jesus.  From the sky, it looks like a keyhole.  They’re made of stone and white-lime, mounded in earth (clay and sand layered by hemp cloth dyed with bands of black and red) and overgrown, they host and protect their own ecosystems.  Underground are many exciting artifacts like swords, bronze mirrors, fertility beads, horse saddles, armour and agricultural tools.  Some Kofuns have motes.  All Kofuns are oriented to face the rising sun at winter solstice.

HANIWA (埴輪) are terracotta figurines in the form of shrine maidens, humans and animals with cylindrical bases, constructed from coiled and sculpted water-based clay and dried, which line the exterior of the Kofun mounds.  They are guardians of the crossroads.  It is disputed whether they are inhabited by the spirit of the dead, protect the spirit of the dead, protect the living from the spirit of the dead, or a combination of these capacties.  Standing 1-1.5 meters tall, a congregation of Haniwa differentiate Kofuns from the common hill from a great distance.  As they are found in neat lines, it could be that they are in the middle of conducting a durational send-off ceremony.  It is also possible that the creation of Haniwa replaced a ritual of live-human sacrifice.

The categorically spooky entrances of Kofuns are fortunately illuminated by  the Sun everyday and by every full-moon.  Without access corridors alligning the inner-most chamber to cosmological superstars, a Kofun would lack the profound mystery that lies within the encoded orientations of its interior mazes, demonstrative of a great ancient intelligence.  In respect of the deceased (or to preserve government secrets), entry is forbidden - even for science.
