The Lost City Of Heracleion, which was once the largest port in Egypt, was discovered underwater after more than 2,000 years in the year 2000. Its legendary beginnings go back to as early as the 12th century BC, and it has many links to  Ancient Greece .

At the end of the 2nd century BC, most likely after a severe flood, the monumental buildings of Heracleion collapsed into the water.

Scientists suggest new theory behind the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle Hexagonal clouds creating 'air-bombs' capable of downing planes and flipping ships are said to be behind hundreds of mysterious disappearances at sea The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle may finally have been solved by a group of satellite meteorologists. For decades, a series of disappearances within the 500,000km square area between Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda has remained unexplained and dismissed as coincidental by many. The triangle is said to be responsible for the loss of at least 1,000 lives along with some 75 planes and hundreds of ships within the past 100 years. Scientists have now claimed that hexagonal clouds creating “air-bombs” with winds of up to 170mph could be responsible for hundreds of unsolved incidents at sea. The storms are said to be so powerful that ships and planes can be plunged into...
