There are many exquisite wonders that the world has to offer. While some are magical and beautiful to the eye, they hold deep, hidden secrets as to how they were made or came to be. There are a few that send people to begin questioning themselves and the logic that stands behind each of these wonders. These mysterious wonders can be confusing and tough to interpret. Many struggle with understanding the result of how they came to be. Some may claim that each place is fake or man-made while others will debate how each location developed into what it is today. Although all three places have some sort of mysterious activity, it has not yet been proven for sure that supernatural life or government cover-up projects exist within the specified location. The following mysterious wonders include: The Pyra
...mids of Giza, Area 51, and The Bermuda Triangle.
The Pyramids of Giza can be found on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. There are three pyramids in total, each built and named by Egyptian Pharaohs. These Pharaohs believed that they would each become gods in the afterlife, to prepare for their death they each placed necessities within each pyramid to use and help themselves after death. The biggest pyramid, called the Great Pyramid stands 481.4 feet tall. The entrance to the pyramid is on the North side and is about 59 feet above ground level. The sides of this pyramid rise at an exact angle and accurately aligned with the cardinal points of the compass. The second largest pyramid which measures at 471 feet high.
The smallest pyramid, which stands at 218 feet high (Pyramids of Giza 1). There is
lots of controversy surrounding the topic of how the pyramids were actually built, but still to this day scientists and archeologists cannot figure the exact way they were built. According to Kyler Sumter, the Pyramids of Giza involved precise geometric calculations that at the time the slaves and egyptians could not have known (Sumter 2). Similarly to the unknown creation of the Pyramids, there was a mysterious void chamber that was newly discovered inside the Pyramids. Scientists don’t know exactly how or why it was there. They believe the void was used to help the Egyptians move the large stones into place (Sumter 2). Although some may think they understand as to how the pyramids were constructed and built, this will still be a mystery that majority will never fully understand.
Area 51 can be found in the middle of a barren and empty desert in Nevada. Down a dusty road that is considered unmarked is where people can locate this mysterious wonder. Beyond the gate that provides privacy for the grounds that contain Area 51 is what many people wish to pass so that they may uncover the truth for themselves. Area 51 has many speculations and theories built upon it. One of the many outrageous, but sensible, theories is the theory that aliens somehow control the base and that the government allegedly hides them from the rest of the country. It is said that the galactic visitors are tucked away inside (Blitz). One theory “insists the infamous 1947 Roswell crash was actually a Soviet aircraft piloted by mutated midgets and the wreckage remains on the grounds of Area 51”(Blitz).
Another crazy theory that many of
Americans have come to believe is the theory that the 1969 moon landing was a hoax and it had actually been filmed inside of Area 51. People even say that this film was filmed inside of a hangar located in the base (Blitz). Even though there are many who try to prove that their theories have truth to them, Area 51 is indeed real and still very active today. Whether there are aliens, moon related props for a film, or even wreckage from the Roswell crash, it is still safe to say that Area 51 is very mysterious. Area 51 will remain one of the top mysterious wonders that the world has to offer. For many more decades a majority of the population will still be speculative as to what really happens beyond that gate in the middle of the Nevada desert; some will even start their own theories.
One of the most perplexing wonders that the world holds is called the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is found within the Atlantic Ocean. The area that is considered the Bermuda Triangle is naturally a triangle that starts at the state of Florida. The triangle then stretches to the islands of Bermuda and from there goes to Puerto Rico and then back to Florida. The mystery of these waters started after an article came out in 1964 by Vincent H. Gaddis. Vincent claimed that a number of planes and ships that had either flown over of sailed into the area had disappeared and were never traced (UnMuseum).
This spread tons of chaos and many started to come up with theories to explain
why this was. Gaddis was not the first to come out with this statement either, twelve years prior a man named “George X. Sands, in a report in Fate magazine, noted what seemed like an unusually large number of strange accidents in that region” (UnMuseum). Many claim that there is a magnetic anomaly that sets of compass readings. Others believe that methane eruptions from the ocean floor could be turning the ocean into a type of foam that is not able to hold up the weight of boats, but this does not fully explain what happened to the planes that came up missing. One bizzare theory claims that the disappearances are led to an intelligent, technology advanced race that lives under the bottom of the sea. Although many of these theories are hard to interpret and believe, there is one more theory that seems more like a solution. In 1975 Larry Kusche wrote a book called The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved, in this book he spoke about what had likely happened to all the lost ships and aircraft. “Kusche had carefully dug into records other writers had neglected. He found that many of the strange accidents were not so strange after all.
Often a Triangle writer had noted a ship or plane had disappeared in 'calms seas' when the record showed a raging storm had been in progress. Others said ships had 'mysteriously vanished' when their remains had actually been found and the cause of their sinking explained (UnMuseum).” The Atlantic ocean is also one of the heaviest travelled oceans in the world. With such a small area being travelled it is easy to see as
to why there has been so many boats and ships disappearing. Not to mention all the bad weather that usually occurs in these waters. The Atlantic Ocean is prone to have many hurricanes occur and with the warm weather comes bad storms also. The Bermuda Triangle does still have some unsolved mysteries, but there are a few more logical theories that can be the sole explanation for this “Devil’s Triangle”.
The mysterious wonders that the world contains are sometimes unexplainable, while others can easily be proven totally natural. These mysterious wonders can be confusing and tough to interpret. Many struggle with understanding the result of how they came to be. It is easy for theories to become truth to people and that turn into an uproar between disagreeing groups. Many theories are easily proven while others can find difficulty in understanding them. Although all three places have some sort of mysterious activity, it has not yet been proven for sure that supernatural life or government cover-up projects exist within the Pyramids of Giza, Area 51, or the Bermuda Triangle. The only way to for sure know what happened along these ancient grounds, empty deserts, or roaring seas is for people to do the research for themselves and either follow popular theories or invent new theories for themselves.
