Why don't Japanese dare to archaeology?

Because Japan does not have a long history and culture, and because of Japanese archaeologists' fraud, the credibility of Japanese archaeology is not high.

After archaeology was introduced into Japan, Japan also triggered an archaeological fever. Especially in 1980s, when Japan's economy developed rapidly, as an island country, its economic scale was already the second in the world. In addition to economic achievements, they also hope to make breakthroughs in culture and politics. Therefore, there are many archaeologists in Japan. They conducted archaeological excavations all over Japan to understand the origin and development of Japan's own culture.

Understandably, although the Japanese were prosperous at that time, their hearts were always empty: politically and economically, they were restricted by the United States, but culturally, they were influenced by China for a long time. Therefore, Japan is eager to find archaeological evidence to prove that Japanese culture originated from its own country, not China, and has always remained independent, enhancing national pride and cohesion.

Not to mention, at that time, Japanese archaeologists did discover a lot of so-called Japanese cultural heritage, but it was later discovered by reporters that it was fabricated by Japanese archaeologists. As it turns out, they didn't find these cultural relics at all, just to cater to the fake cultural relics deliberately made by Japanese politicians and people. After the activity broke out, the credibility of Japanese archaeology was greatly reduced, and then Japanese archaeology declined.

In 1980s, Shinichi Fujimura led a Japanese archaeologist who was active in Japanese archaeology. At that time, the Japanese also thought that Shinichi Fujimura was a very powerful figure. Moreover, he even announced to the outside world that he found stone tools 700,000 years ago in Japan, which means that there were human activities in Japan as early as that time, which is undoubtedly an understatement for the Japanese.

But it happened that a serious Japanese journalist was not immersed in such an atmosphere of victory like other Japanese, and he had the ability to think independently, so he had doubts about it. Sure enough, once, he caught Fujimura with a camera hidden in advance. Fujimura stuffed a new stone into the ground. After this incident was exposed, the Japanese people were very angry. Since then, the archaeological course of Japan has come to an end.
