"This island is best known for massive sunken rock and stone structures which surround the island.
The fame of Yonaguni island began in 1987, when a Japanese marine explorer, Kihachiro Aratake, by chance discovered a set of very singular architectonic structures allegedly belonging to an ancient civilization and previously unknown in archaeology and history. Shortly thereafter, a group of scientists directed by Misaki Kimura, of the University of the Ryūkyūs, confirmed the existence of the vestiges. They appear, at least superficially, to be comparable to the pyramids of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Mexico, and Peru.
Several analyses indicated that a certain structure, which measured 120 m in length, 40 m wide and 20–25 m high, was 8000 years old. This would make it much older than the first constructions of Mesopotamia, Egypt, India and China. This antiquity has created discord and controversy among historians and archaeologists since it goes against the accepted chronological history of humanity. Several noted writers, ... argue that under inspection, the "ruins" turn out to be largely explicable by ocean erosion and coral reef settlements. Most geologists familiar with the area also maintain that the structures are mere geologic processes of natural origin and consistent with other known geological formations... Furthermore, no tools have been found at the site, which could positively identify human settlement.
In addition to scientific explanations, other esoteric theories are that Yonaguni was part of the legendary ancient civilizations of Mu (Lemuria), whose fate it shared with Atlantis or Thule, as an ancient advanced civilization which sank into the sea. "

If the scientists are right, the structures were created "by ocean erosion and coral reef settlements", and they will probably continue to change over time, perhaps damaging the "ruins" in the process.
