BERMUDA TRIANGLE 

Vanished without a trace: Inside the  Bermuda Triangle

People have been trying to solve the “mystery” of the Bermuda Triangle for years. Here’s what we know

• The Bermuda Triangle is a region of the North Atlantic Ocean (roughly) bounded by the southeastern coast of the U.S., Bermuda, and the islands of the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico).

• The exact boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle are not universally agreed upon. Approximations of the total area range between 500,000 and 1,510,000 square miles (1,300,000 and 3,900,000 square kilometers). By all approximations, the region has a vaguely triangular shape.

​

In 1881, legend has it that the Ellen Austin , a ship sailing from Liverpool
 

to New York, encountered a Unknown ship in the Bermuda triangle - and things went Awry.

It is an triangle mystery associated with the American white oak schooner, Ellen Austin. In 1881, the 210 feet long Ellen Austin was on her way to New York from London when she stumbled upon a derelict near the Bermuda Triangle. Everything seemed fine with the unidentified schooner drifting just north of the Sargasso Sea, but the missing crew.

​

Captain Baker of the Ellen Austin asked to observe the derelict for two days in order to make sure it’s not a trap. After two days with no response from the ship, the captain entered the abandoned vessel with his crew to find the well-packed  70 Barrels of Wine shipment and a Silver cup Floating in it and no sign of the crew. In order to tow it back with Ellen Austin, the captain placed a prize crew on the ship, set to sail together. However, after two days of sail on calm waters a squall separated path of the two ships following which the Mysteriously vanished in the storm.

Day after the storm, vessel was visible through his spyglass only to realise the vessel was drifting far away aimlessly once again. After hours of effort, Ellen Austin could catch up the vessel. But,  Mysteriously once again the Sailors on boards were missing and the 70 Barrels of Wines and also a Silver cup , he rushed back to his ship and found that that cup was Missing too.

Submerged Atlanteans  ?'

Some speculate that unknown and mysterious forces account for the unexplained disappearances, such as extraterrestrials ; the influence of the lost continent of Atlantis; vortices that suck objects into other dimensions; and other whimsical ideas. 
Atlantis was a mid-Atlantic continent that suddenly sunk into the ocean.

The idea that Atlantis was an actual historical place, and not just a legend invented by Plato, didn’t surface until the late 19th century. In his 1882 book, “Atlantis, the Antediluvian World,” the writer Ignatius Donnelly argued the accomplishments of the ancient world (such as metallurgy, language and agriculture) must have been handed down by an earlier advanced civilization, as the ancients weren’t sophisticated enough to develop these advances on their own.

Assuming the Atlantic Ocean was only a few hundred feet deep, Donnelly described a continent flooded by shifting ocean waters that sank in the exact location Plato said it did: in the Atlantic Ocean just outside the “Pillars of Hercules,” the two rocks that mark the entrance to the Straits of Gibraltar.

Long after modern oceanography and a greater understanding of plate tectonics poked holes in his shifting-waters thesis, some continue to cling to Donnelly’s theory, mostly due to its adherence to Plato’s placement of Atlantis in the mid-Atlantic and the Atlantic was at the same exact location of Bermuda triangle. One of the more recent Atlantean theories concerns the civilization that flourished on the Greek islands of Crete and Thera (now Santorini) more than 4,000 years ago: the Minoans, named for the legendary King Minos.

Believed to be Europe’s first great civilization, the Minoans built splendid palaces, constructed paved roads and were the first Europeans to use a written language (Linear A). At the height of their power, having technologies like creating energy , Gravity propulsion and while the other humans still believed earth was flat
