Shocking Mysteries about the Bermuda Triangle

Popularly known as the Devil's Triangle, Bermuda Triangle is a region at the North Atlantic Ocean where over 75 aircrafts and hundreds of ships have disappeared under mysterious circumstances since 1950.

Reputable scientific sources dismissed the idea of any mystery over the disappearances, but popular culture has attributed it to the activity by extraterrestrial beings.

Interestingly in 2001, marine engineer, Pauline Zalitzki, and her husband, Paul Weinzweig, working in conjunction with the Cuban government to survey the seafloor around Cuba, discovered a series of symmetrical and geometric stone structures that resembled an urban complex, to include possible pyramid-like structures.

A further investigation with an underwater video robot revealed large blocks of stone resembling hewn granite, with some appearing to have been stacked deliberately atop each other. 

Scientists estimate the structures would have taken 50,000 years to sink to the depths they were discovered in, but no culture in the world had the architectural know-how to build complex buildings 50,000 years ago.

A specialist in underwater archaeology at Florida State University said that if the structures were real, then "The structures are out of time and out of place."

A series of stone formations called the Bimini Road were discovered within the triangle, bearing a strong resemblance to a parked stone road and further fuelling theories that Atlantis (or Mermaids) lies within the region.
