Bermuda, China: The waters of the Laoye Temple in Poyang Lake, engulfing thousands of boats, and 30 degrees north latitude?
Speaking of the Devil's Triangle, the first thing that comes to mind must be Bermuda. Do you know? In China, there is also a devil triangle, that is, the devil triangle of Poyang Lake, which is known as The Bermuda in China. For more than 1,000 years, there have been thousands of bizarre disappearances of ships, including large ships with displacements of more than 2,000 tons. What is even more incredible is that countless salvage teams have worked in this water, but they have found nothing, not even a piece of ship debris. Where did the wreckage of these shipwrecked ships go?
Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China, located in the northern part of Jiangxi Province. In the middle and northern section of Poyang Lake, between Duchang County and Xingzi County, there is a water called Laoye Temple, which is what we call the Devil Triangle today. This area of water is 24 kilometers long and connected to the exit of the Yangtze River, which has been very dangerous since ancient times. There have been countless shipwrecks here in history, and the most famous shipwreck accident in modern times is the shipwreck of the Kobe Maru in Japan in 1945.
On April 16, 1945, at the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Japan knew that the tide was gone and was anxious to transport the property it had plundered from China to Japan. On this day, a 2,000-ton Japanese transport ship, the Kobe Maru, loaded with rare treasures and antique jade looted from China, set off from Poyang Lake and prepared to sail into the sea through the Yangtze River to Japan. When driving to the waters of the Laoye Temple, it suddenly disappeared mysteriously and silently, and more than 280 people on board did not survive. The invaders were buried at the bottom of the lake, and they were also self-inflicted, which was very gratifying.
Since then, the Japanese Navy has sent people to dive into the lake to investigate, but the soldiers who launched the water have all mysteriously disappeared except for Yamashita's move. Although Yamashita saved a life, he had a serious mental disorder. What happened to these Japanese soldiers underwater remains a mystery.
In the 1970s, in the western part of Poyang Lake, a huge luminous body shaped like a straw hat was seen hovering in the air for up to 10 minutes. Therefore, some people speculate that there may be an alien activity base at the bottom of Poyang Lake, and the mysterious missing ships are likely to be related to aliens.
Also in the 1970s, some witnesses said that they had seen monsters appear in the waters of the Laoye Temple, but witnesses had different descriptions of the monsters, some saying that the monster was shaped like a large broom, dozens of feet long. Some say the monster looks like a white dragon. The most incredible claim is that this monster is like a parachute with eyes. But no matter what kind of statement, when monsters appear, they have a common feature, that is, wind and rain, lightning and thunder. Is it possible that the mysteriously missing ships were eaten by these monsters?
On March 15, 1985, a cargo ship numbered Rao 41838 and carrying a load of 250 tons sank in the waters of Laoye Temple at about 6:30 a.m. without warning. On August 3 of this year, two cargo ships belonging to jiangxi Jinxian County Shipping Company with a load of 20 tons were also buried in the waters of Laoye Temple. It is said that 12 large and small ships also sank here on the same day.
In September 1985, a cargo ship transporting bamboo from Anhui also sank in the waters of Laoye Temple, but the sailors on board hugged the scattered bamboo trees to escape. In 1985 alone, more than 20 ships sank in the waters of the Temple of The Old Masters.
The Jiangxi Meteorological Bureau once set up a scientific research group called Laoyemiao Gale and its impact on shipping to study the meteorology and water flow in the waters of Laoyemiao and to study countermeasures to deal with shipwreck accidents. The research team set up multiple meteorological observation sites and collected more than 200,000 pieces of raw data a year. The data shows that the average annual wind speed in the waters of LaoYe Temple can reach 7 meters per second, and the speed of wind speed is very rare in inland areas.
In addition, the five major rivers of Ganjiang, Fuhe, Raohe, Xinjiang and Xiuhe meet in the waters of Laoye temple, making the water flow here extremely disordered. Combining these two factors, the waters of lao ye temple have become the most dangerous waters in the inland lakes of the mainland, but this is still not enough to be the cause of so many shipwreck accidents.
In an article in the United Nations Environment Daily on September 8, 1978, the author Edward Peel wrote that the Devil's Triangle of Poyang Lake is located in the area of 30 degrees north latitude, and 30 degrees north latitude is a number that frightens explorers around the world. What's so magical about it?
This line runs through the four ancient civilizations, the well-known pyramids, mayan civilizations, Bermuda Triangle, Naples, Death Valley, Mariana Trench and other places with many mysteries, and even Wenchuan, Yushu, where major geological disasters have occurred, are they all accidental?
Maybe there is some mysterious force on Earth that is manipulating everything that happens at 30 degrees north latitude, so would you simply think that many shipwrecks at the LaoYe Temple are just because of high winds and turbulence?
In the face of nature, we humans are still so small. Many of the questions remain unsolved. Maybe after any mystery at 30 degrees north latitude is solved, other mysteries will be solved, but now all we can do is continue to guess, continue to explore, continue to wait.
