Scientists have made a significant discovery of a large mineral structure beneath the sea in the infamous Bermuda Triangle, sparking renewed interest in conspiracy theories associated with this enigmatic area. Spanning the region between Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico, the Bermuda Triangle is notorious for its relatively high incidence of missing ships and aircraft, although this reputation is often exaggerated. Over time, it has become a focal point for various popular conspiracy theories.
The recent finding of a substantial underwater formation within the triangle has triggered intense speculation online regarding its implications. Speculations range from mainstream conspiracy theories to more outlandish ideas. Among these, the notion of Atlantis ranks high, with some suggesting that the structure could be linked to the mythical lost city. The social media buzz includes comments like, “Are we finally going to acknowledge the existence of Atlantis?”
Furthermore, there are theories positing the presence of an ancient civilization dwelling beneath the ocean floor, with elaborate narratives suggesting they may be responsible for the disappearances within the Bermuda Triangle. One individual even proposed the existence of an advanced underground civilization that has been living in secrecy for millions of years.
Other speculations take a darker turn, with claims of the newly discovered structure being a gateway to hell guarded by malevolent forces. Some believe that subaquatic cities controlled by evil entities reside beneath the ocean’s surface.
However, contrary to these fantastical ideas, the scientific examination has revealed that the structure is not an ancient city but a significant geological formation that could provide insights into the region’s geological composition. Through seismic studies, researchers identified a rock layer approximately 12.4 miles thick beneath the oceanic crust near Bermuda, a thickness unprecedented in similar geological contexts worldwide.
William Frazer, a seismologist at Carnegie Science in Washington D.C. and the primary author of the study, explained that the presence of this additional rock layer beneath Bermuda’s oceanic crust, within the tectonic plate supporting the island, is an unusual geological phenomenon. While the exact origin of this rock layer remains a mystery, it may offer an explanation for Bermuda’s location on an ‘oceanic swell,’ where the seabed elevation exceeds that of the surrounding areas. This geological anomaly is typically associated with volcanic activity, but the limited volcanic history in the Bermuda Triangle makes the cause of this phenomenon puzzling.
