Mysterious Places

The Nazca Lines:


The Nazca Lines are enormous drawings on the ground (called geoplyphs) that stretch across the Nazca Desert in the southern Peru.They show more than 300 geometric patterns, spirals and animals.The lines are so vast that they can only be seen properly from a height of about 300 m. Most experts agree that they were made by the Nazca Indians who lived in the region between 300 BC and AD 800, but there are many questions yet to be answered about them. For example, why were the pictures made and how are they so precise if their makers had no means to view them from sky?

The Bermuda Triangle



The Bermuda Triangle is an area of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida. It is famous for being the supposed site of many disappearances.The points of the Triangle are Miami, Bermuda and San Juan in Puerto Rico. In the 15th century, Christopher Columbus claimed to have seen a "great flame of fire" falling into the ocean in the area. The Bermuda Triangle first began to attract attention in 1945, when Flight 19, a training mission of five US bombers, vanished off the Florida Coast.The plane that was sent to find them also disappeared, and around 100 boats and aircrafts have been lost there. Explanations include magnetic fields, sea monsters and abduction by aliens, but most experts agree the disappearances are due to bad navigation and/or extreme weather conditions.
