《世界未解之谜》
Regardless of whether you are in front of the screen in front of the post-70s, post-80s, post-90s or post-00s, in the bookstore more than 10 years ago, you must have seen this kind of book:
(as shown below)
And in such books there must be several unsolved mysteries about the "pyramid", the "Bermuda triangle".
And they also deduced that these mysterious locations are all near the 30th parallel of the earth, and set "30 degrees north latitude" as the "latitude of death"!
And before unraveling the mystery of "30 degrees north latitude", we must first uncover the mystery of the "Bermuda Triangle" -
百慕大三角
And the rumors about the "Bermuda Triangle" are sure everyone is familiar with them.

Xiaobian searched for information on the Internet and found the earliest source of "Bermuda Delta" in China!
Around 1977, the legend of the "Bermuda Triangle" spread in Chinese society, and one of its earliest articles was "Scientists Uncovering the Secrets of the Bermuda Triangle" (as shown in the picture above) written by Qi Shen.
Is this the secret of the "Bermuda Triangle"?
Not!!!
Because we are still not sure that this article was published first in the world, I "searched" on the Internet in order to understand the earliest legend about the "Bermuda Triangle", and found that the rumors about the "Bermuda Triangle" abroad were decades earlier than in China!
The earliest legend about the "Bermuda Triangle" was compiled by an American occult writer "Ewan Sanderson".
伊万•桑德森 (lvan T. Sanderson, 1911-1973)
In the '60s, Sanderson began to publish articles about "anomalous zones" or "evil vortexes", and often explained (such as magnetic field effects, alien abductions, etc.) some natural phenomena that he made up at will.
In 1974, a year after Sanderson's death, American writer Charles Beritz compiled and published his articles, and his works became popular all over the world as soon as they came out!
《The Bermuda Triangle》
Translation: Bermuda Triangle
Subsequently, it was introduced to the mainland in 1982, but the printing press did not mark it as a "pseudo-popular science text", which led many people to believe it to be true.
Thus, the legend of the "Bermuda Triangle" spread......
神秘北纬30度
Let's get back to the topic, the rumors about the "30th parallel of the north latitude".
The fact that the Bermuda Triangle is falsified does not mean that "30 degrees north latitude" can be falsified. Because at 30 degrees north latitude, this is not the only mysterious event!
First of all, the earliest discovery of the "mysterious 30 degrees north latitude" was actually China.
It first came from an article published in the Beijing Evening News around 1986 - "The Mysterious Thirty Degrees of North Latitude"!
First of all, the Pyramid of Khufu is indeed located near 30 degrees north latitude, and the location of the Bermuda Delta is indeed at 30 degrees north latitude.
However, the Beijing Evening News article also mentioned that the "Mariana Trench" is also located near the "30th parallel north latitude", which is pure nonsense.
The Mariana Trench is actually located at 11⁰21N, 142⁰12'E, which has nothing to do with the 30th parallel north latitude.
The unsolved mystery about the Zigong dinosaurs in Sichuan is indeed located near the 30th degree north latitude, but this is not an unsolved mystery either! Regarding the extinction of the Zigong dinosaurs in Sichuan, the Sichuan Museum and the Sino-US joint archaeological team have already given an answer -- because of the natural environment.
Through the above proof, in fact, only one unsolved mystery of the "pyramid" is near the 30th parallel north latitude, and the others are either not there or are fake!
And you can believe it, the rumor of the 30th parallel was included in the rigorous and professional "Encyclopedia of Chinese Children", and the error that "the Mariana Trench is near the 30th parallel" was copied as it was.
