1.Bermuda Triangle, Atlantic Ocean: The Devil's Triangle, sometimes referred to

as the Bermuda Triangle, is a hazily delineated area in the western North

Atlantic Ocean where, in accordance with an urban legend, several ships and

airplanes are reported to have vanished for unknown reasons. The mid-1900s saw

the emergence of the notion that the area was particularly prone to

disappearances; nonetheless, the majority of reliable sources downplay any

mystery surrounding the disappearances.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. 2.Stonehenge (England: Two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury, on Salisbury

Plain in Wiltshire, England, is the prehistoric megalithic monument known as

Stonehenge. It is made out of an outer ring of vertical Sarsen standing stones

that are about 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weigh about

25 tons. On top of the stones are connecting horizontal lintel stones that are

secured in place by mortise and tenon joints, which are a feature not found in

other modern monuments.[2] [3] There is a ring of tiny blue stones inside.

These comprise free-standing trilithons, which are connected by a single lintel

to two larger vertical sarsens. The entire edifice, which is now in ruins,

faces the summer solstice dawn and the winter solstice sunset.

3.The Nazca Lines (Peru):The lines of Nazca are a collection of geoglyphs

carved into the southern Peruvian Nazca Desert's dirt.[2] Between 500 BC and

500 AD, individuals made shallow incisions or depressions in the desert floor,

removed pebbles, and exposed varied colored earth to create these formations.

[3] The Nazca lines have two main phases: the Paracas phase, which spans

400–200 BC, and the Nazca phase, which spans 200–500 AD. [4] Using drones,

archaeologists discovered 80–100 new figures in the years preceding 2020, and

they think there are still more to be discovered.[5]

4.Easter Island (Chile):Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui or Isla de

Pascua (pronounced [ˈisla ˫e ˈpaskwa] in Rapa Nui), is a special territory of

Chile located in the southeast Pacific. It is 150 KB (16,522 words) in size. 23

5.Area 51 (Nevada, USA):Within the Nevada Test and Training Range, there is a

highly classified United States Air Force (USAF) facility known by the common

name Area 51. Officially known as Groom Lake (after the salt flat adjacent to

its airstrip) or Homey Airport (ICAO: KXTA, FAA LID: XTA), this remote

detachment of Edwards Air Force Base is managed by the base. Although the USAF

describes it as an open training range [3], its operations are not publicly

disclosed, although it is widely believed to facilitate the development and

testing of experimental weapons systems and aircraft. [4] [3] The location was

purchased by the USAF and CIA in 1955, mostly for Lockheed U-2 flight

testing.[5]

6.The Banff Springs Hotel (Canada):The original structure was structured like

an H and featured an octagonal center hall with an extra wing extending from it

towards the Bow River. [7] The building was covered in shingles with stone

elements.[13] Tiered verandahs were located at the ends of each wing. [7] The

1888 edifice cost $250,000, and an error by the contractor altered the

building's original orientation, diverting it away from the mountain view. This

structure housed about 100 guestrooms and was centered on a five-story

octagonal rotunda. The hotel was called after the natural hot springs that

emanated from several spots on Sulphur Mountain and were piped into the hotel.

7.The Devil’s Sea (Japan):umi till the ship's safe arrival on January 15.[4]

Yomiuri Shimbun displayed a sea map indicating the locations of multiple other

ships that had gone missing in recent years and claimed that the ships had gone

missing in an area designated as a special danger area by the Yokohama Coast

Guard Office. [5] [6] The episode, which resulted in the loss of nine ships in

ideal weather, was first reported in the United States by The New York Times

under the title "The Devil's Sea."[7] [8] "From the Izu islands to east of the

Ogasawara islands; about 200 miles east to west, and about 300 miles north to

south, where nine ships were lost in the past five years," is how Yomiuri

Shimbun defined the ma no umi's extent.[5] Still,
