The waters south of Tokyo bear the ominous name of the Devil’s Sea, as many fishing vessels and other larger ships have disappeared. In 1953, a research vessel with 31 crew members, including scientists, Kaiyo Maru # 5, set sail for the Devil's Sea to investigate these mysterious disappearances. Guess what happened to this ship? It has disappeared.
However, its end was not mysterious. The ship was destroyed by a volcano. Crew members explored a newly formed volcanic island when an eruption occurred, leaving no one alive. Devil Sea lawyers also ignored the fact that the number of fishing boats that disappeared in this region did not exceed the number of boats lost in other Japanese waters.
North of Reno, Nevada, according to a local legend, trout lovers disappear into the waters of Lake Pyramid almost every spring on the reservation of the payut tribe. Allegedly demonic spirits, “children of water”, seize fishermen and lead them to death, but their bodies disappear. On the shores of Lake Pyramid, the cry of water babies pierces silence, and the laughter of invisible children echoes the pyramidal rock that gave the name to the lake.
Nevertheless, if the lake takes lives every year (according to the assurances of the local inhabitants), why not write about it in local newspapers? Probably, water babies carefully monitor this, hiding from justice.
The legend of the Chippewa tribe says that Lake Superior never gives up its dead. But the reason why the lake keeps its victims is by no means mysterious. The cold waters of the lake cause slow decomposition, which under normal conditions led to the filling of the body with gases, as a result of which it would float to the surface.
More than 200 ships disappeared in Lake Superior, especially along the southern part. Intense storms cause ten-meter waves, which with pleasure will sink any ship in two counts; the 210-meter “Edmund Fitzgerald” did not escape this fate. The underwater possessions of Cape Sig have become a reserve for the many wreckage of ships that attract divers. However, others disappeared without a trace.
Bermuda Triangle
The most famous item on this list has its reputation for nothing. Yes, there were significant incidents in the Bermuda Triangle, which extends from southern Florida to Bermuda and Puerto Rico, including the loss of USS Cyclops with 309 crew members in 1918. Five American Avenger bombers disappeared there in 1945.
Nevertheless, the Bermuda Triangle is famous for strong storms, changeable weather and insidious shallow areas, according to oceanologists. Along with bad weather, the triangle is famous for one of the busiest sea routes on the planet. In proportion to the level of loss of ships and aircraft in this zone does not exceed the rest of the planet. The Bermuda Triangle did not even have a bad name until the 50s of the past century, only then it became famous thanks to the bloated and even fabricated stories written over the next several decades. And like many other things in our lives, it has become a household name.
East of the Bermuda Triangle, the circulating currents created the Sargasso Sea. Floating algae create entire rugs, floating along the Sargasso Sea and twisted by strong currents. For a long time, sailors avoided this region and created legends about ghost ships sailing in the Sargasso Sea. In the 1840s, one of these ships was the Rosalie, which was found empty without a crew member on board, CNN wrote.
To the west of the Sargasso Sea in 1872, one of the most mysterious ghost ships in the maritime history of "Maria Celeste" was discovered. The entire crew, including the captain’s wife and daughter, disappeared, although the cargo in the form of explosive ethanol and the large amount of food the ship was carrying remained untouched. The leak of ethanol could frighten the crew, as a result of which he left the ship, fearing an explosion. And the lifeboat could well sink during the storm.
Michigan Triangle
The northern cousin of the Bermuda Triangle, the Michigan Triangle, extends from Ludington to Benton Harbor, Michigan, and Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Ships and at least one plane are the trophies of this region. In 1891, schooner Thomas Hume and her seven-man crew sailed to the Michigan Triangle, but did not return, nor did they leave any traces. In 1921, the Rosa Bell ship was found floating in this triangle completely empty, with no eleven crew members sailing on it. In 1950, flying over a triangle, Northwest Airlines 2501 flight disappeared, and with it 58 passengers.
Bennington's Triangle
The Bennington Triangle in southwestern Vermont was the last place to see five people disappearing between 1945 and 1950. The first time an 18-year-old tourist disappeared, although her two companions were only 100 meters behind her. Exactly three years later, day after day, a man disappeared from a moving bus. No one noticed his disappearance.
One logical explanation was the presence of a serial killer in the forests of Vermont. However, serial killers usually harass certain demographic groups. Among the people missing in Bennington’s triangle was a 74-year-old female guide and an 8-year-old boy.
South Atlantic Anomaly
Strange and powerful forces envelop the Earth with energy, but there is nothing supernatural in them. The Van Allen radiation belt forms a one-sided donut of charged particles around the planet. The belt sags closest to Earth over South America and the Atlantic Ocean in eastern Brazil. This NASA region is referred to as the South Atlantic Anomaly. When passing through the anomaly, the Hubble telescope, satellites and other spacecraft received and are receiving intense bombardment by protons, building blocks of atoms, with energies above 10 million electron-volts.
Located 200-800 kilometers from the surface, the anomaly should not affect what is on the ground, nor on airplanes. Nevertheless, some explain with its help the crash of Air France 447 flight, in which 228 people died in 2009. The true cause of the disaster may simply be the failure of an instrument that needed to change a few lines of code, according to scientists at the Renseler Polytechnic Institute.
Take a closer look around: suddenly and next to you is there some kind of “triangle”?
The abode of Satan himself, the sea cemetery, the horror of the Atlantic - all these terrible epithets refer to the mystical zone in the Atlantic Ocean. Every year, ships and planes mysteriously disappear in the Bermuda Triangle. What is it - a sick imagination of journalists or a truly dangerous and mystical zone, shrouded in mystery and mystery?
The first mention of the devil's zone
The Bermuda Triangle in the ocean is a sensation that has been haunting humanity for half a century. This anomalous zone was first mentioned in 1950. An American researcher named E. Jones wrote a short article, formatting the material in the form of a brochure in which he placed several photos. But at that time, almost no one paid attention to this. So far, in 1964, another American researcher by the name of V. Gaddis did not write about the Bermuda Triangle. He spoke about the real danger this mystical region is fraught with. But the book “The Bermuda Triangle”, written by Charles Berlitz, brought real fear to the average man. Since then, this topic has not ceased to be relevant throughout the world.
Where is the Bermuda Triangle
The symbolic peaks of this mystical zone are the following areas: Bermuda, the southern cape of Florida, Puerto Rico. The marked points are unofficial, since the borders of the Bermuda Triangle are constantly being corrected, moving them, for example, closer to the Gulf of Mexico or joining the Caribbean. Many researchers also attribute part of the Azores to the anomalous zone, near which many incredible events took place. Therefore, the question “where is the Bermuda Triangle” is still impossible to get a definite answer.
The most common theories regarding events
There are several dozen versions of what is actually happening on the territory of the Bermuda Triangle. Some of them are incredible and not amenable to logic, while others, on the contrary, are more rational and almost scientifically sound. We will consider a few assumptions below.
Mysterious gas bubbles
For the first time in 2000, several physicists in laboratory conditions decided to find out what happens to an object located on the surface of bubbling water.
After conducting a series of experiments, they made the following conclusion: when bubbles appear in the water, its density decreases significantly, and the level rises, while the lifting force exerted by the water on the vessel is minimized. Therefore, if there are a lot of bubbles, then the ship may well sink.
A description of this laboratory experiment and its results have long been published. But can bubbles really flood a large ship? This is still unknown, because similar studies have not yet been carried out in the so-called field conditions, i.e., directly in the Bermuda Triangle area.
Insidious seaweed
There is a version that ships allegedly “suck” huge algae into the water column. This opinion is as implausible as the fact that the devil himself dwells here. Everything is explained by the fact that the water area of \u200b\u200bthe Bermuda Triangle is comparable to the Sargasso Sea, whose flora is rich in various algae. Not accustomed to such a spectacle, sailors are simply frightened and include their developed imagination.
Lonely waves
In 1984, a competition was held between sailboats in Spain. The route lay from Puerto Rico through Bermuda. The forty-meter ship called Marquez, built in 1917 in Spain, led the race, ahead of ships leaving Bermuda. Here the trouble happened. A strong flurry flew over, which bowed the ship, and at that moment, a gigantic wave arose from nowhere and hit the ship on the port side. This incident is one of the few that has excited the public.
Such waves are capable of reaching 30 meters in height. They appear unexpectedly and in a flash can sink a large ship. The wave that struck the Marquez’s side, covered it with a wall of water, and soon followed by the second - deadly. She decided the fate of the ship. Killed 19 people.
In Bermuda, triangles such waves are caused by the Gulf Stream, which runs near the United States. The reasons for their formation are simple: the waters of the Gulf Stream, flowing from south to north, meet with a stormy front moving from north to south.
Behind the front of the storm, waves form that follow in the same direction. Towards them, to the north, waves are formed by the Gulf Stream. After their collision, a huge mass of water rises. And when nothing seems to portend danger, waves 3-5 meters high suddenly turn into 25-meter “monsters”.
Unfortunately, to date, a device that would monitor or predict the occurrence of such a destructive phenomenon does not exist.
Alien invasion
Some argue that in this territory aliens command who are trying to explore our planet. They supposedly exterminate ships and planes so that no one would ever know about their visit.
Weather
This version is the most common and quite believable. Constant weather changes, unexpected storms, storms, hurricanes become dangerous for any kind of transport.
Clouds with mysterious charges
This version has also been reviewed by scientists. Many pilots flying over the Bermuda Triangle zone claimed to be in the center of a black cloud, inside of which lightning strikes and bright flashes sparkled.
So, the missing “link 19” before its crash conveyed a message that they were enveloped in a kind of dark cloud, because of which the visibility was significantly impaired.
Infrasound
There is a version that in these areas there is a sound that terrifies all passengers and makes them leave the transport.
During underwater earthquakes or landslides, powerful infrasonic vibrations occur at the bottom of the ocean, but scientists have proved that they can in no way be associated with a danger to life.
Relief features
Most researchers are inclined to believe that the fault is precisely the complex relief of this anomalous zone. This is explained by the fact that under the Bermuda Triangle there is a deep-sea trench, mountains that reach a height of 150-200 meters, and hills with a cone-shaped shape, tens of kilometers in diameter. Therefore, it is almost impossible to find sunken ships in this area.
If you look under the water, then Bermuda resembles a huge sleeping volcano. A depression extends from it to the north, the maximum depth of which reaches 8 km. It is on this site that most of the terrible incidents are observed.
It should be noted that Puerto Rico (deep-sea trench) is the deepest part of the entire Atlantic (8742 km). Therefore, to find here a sunken ship or a crashed plane, again, is simply unrealistic.
The Bermuda Triangle, whose secrets have not yet been revealed, has a Blake escarpment in the west - these are the steepest cliffs in the entire mystical Atlantic area. Some of them reach two kilometers in height. And the continental plume is divided in two by the most active current in the world - the Gulf Stream.
But even such unusual features of the relief cannot fully answer the questions arising from pundits and ordinary inhabitants and at least shed some light on these mysterious phenomena. The secrets of the Bermuda Triangle still remain beyond reason.
Mystic at the bottom of a mysterious triangle
The well-known legend about the city that disappeared with its inhabitants is no longer a legend. So say Canadian scientists who found a sunken settlement at the bottom of the Atlantic. This city is located on the eastern coast of Cuba, 700 meters from the most mystical zone in the whole world. The Bermuda Triangle underwater was examined by a robot that plunged into the depths and photographed the surroundings. Pictures were subsequently studied by Canadian researchers, who made an incredible discovery. What hides the Bermuda Triangle from people's eyes? The photos showed that at the bottom there are buildings, pyramids and figures, on the walls of which there are unfamiliar records. According to experts, the discovered buildings are very reminiscent of ancient architecture. The city at the bottom was opened by Canadian fellow scientists. In fact, with the pyramids lying at the bottom of the triangle, they collided 10 years ago. At that time, the couple worked for the government, studying the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and searching for sunken ships and missing treasures.
At the end of the ice age, the water level rose significantly, which is why many cities, islands and even continents were at the bottom of the ocean. The found settlement, according to scientists, is one of these.
There is an opinion that American researchers noticed this city in the late 50s, but no one was informed about the find.
It is also known that the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle by the scientists themselves has not yet been studied, so we will wait for new discoveries.
Mysterious disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle
Over the past 50 years, the Bermuda Triangle has gained terrible fame, which is why many are afraid to travel in these parts. They try to circumvent the anomalous zone by the tenth road. The sad story of "Link 19" gained wide popularity. Shortly after the disappearance of 5 naval bombers, observers began to notice something strange. But first things first.
On December 5, 1945, 5 torpedo bombers, with a crew of 14, were preparing for a normal flight from the Florida airfield. In accordance with the plan, the bombers were to fly to the Bahamas and conduct training firing at targets there - the remains of a sunken ship. They flew over the ship several times and turned north towards the Bahamas. The detachment acted in accordance with the plan. Soon the crew of one of the aircraft, led by pilot Taylor, reported that he had lost his way. All his navigation devices simply refused, and he can not find a landmark. Meanwhile, the weather began to change suddenly. The wind changed its direction and began to blow from the north.
The control tower struggled to send them on the right route - towards Florida, but Taylor was completely confused and refused to listen to the dispatcher. Pilots in despair circled over the water, trying to find at least something resembling land. But the weather was getting worse. Later, radio communication was completely cut off. The last thing they heard from one of the pilots was the words “white wall” and “strange water”.
The next day, the search for the missing planes began. Several helicopters set off on this dangerous mission. But something strange happened here. One of them disappeared in the same mysterious way. But later, the rescuers still managed to find out what happened to him. The sailors of the ship, passing very close, said that they heard a strong explosion high in the sky.
But neither the wreckage of the missing bombers, nor any remnants of the “search engine” were found. What happened to the planes? Where does the Bermuda Triangle hide its victims? No one knows the answers to these questions.
Are the aircraft of the “link 19” found?
In 1991, a British scientist Graham Hawks made a real discovery. He claimed that he had found five “19-link” aircraft. Quite by chance, while searching for the Spanish galleon, he, along with other members of the research group, allegedly stumbled upon the wreckage of fighter jets. Observations were recorded.
This story hit the headlines of all newspapers and magazines, and also created a stir among journalists and ordinary citizens. Graham promised to deal with this curious story within 2 weeks. Since submarines cost incredibly big money, the scientist decided to use an underwater camera, which was controlled by a special wire. After viewing the images, the researchers concluded that the planes did not belong to “link 19”, and became even more confused.
After a while, Graham decides to go to this mysterious place on his own to understand what kind of aircraft they are. Together with him should be in search of one of the relatives of the missing pilot "link 19".
Having sank to the bottom of the ocean (to a depth of 220 meters), they notice an object similar to a fighter that has disappeared.
The discovered plane was broken into 2 parts, the wing and tail were completely torn off. Researchers found that this fighter flew out of Fort Lauderdale (from where the “link 19” was also sent), and they identified it by the first letters (FT 23). But such scarce information was clearly not enough to fully identify the aircraft.
After a while, Graham and his team again sink to the bottom to find some more evidence, and discovers the remaining 4 aircraft. On one of them, the researchers noticed the inscription “FT 87” and saw an open cockpit, which means that the team could get out. Near the porthole, researchers find a number on the wall of the plane (23990). Similar numbers at that time were assigned to each fighter, so with its help it was easy to find out what kind of object lies at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle.
Researchers later came to the conclusion that 4 aircraft belonged exactly to “link 19”. What about the first find? Perhaps this is the same missing search engine.
But there are still many questions. How did the Bermuda Triangle, whose photo suggests eerie thoughts, “swallow” all 5 aircraft at once? And why did such an experienced pilot like Taylor make a fateful mistake, because the radars of neighboring planes worked as before, and there was an opportunity to contact the controllers? What was going on in his head, what was he thinking at that moment, why did he turn in the opposite direction, if only 20 km remained to the destination? All these puzzles still remain unresolved.
Having examined the situation from all sides, psychologists concluded that Taylor was affected by some psychological factor, for example, spatial disorientation, which prevented him from saving himself and his crew.
"Cyclops"
In 1918, an American ship called the Cyclops disappeared. This is the most significant loss, because with it 309 people disappeared without a trace.
This ship was a cargo ship, it transported fuel during the First World War. The length of the ship was 165 meters. Therefore, everyone is still at a loss, how could such a colossus disappear without a trace in the depths of the ocean?
In 1918, the loaded ship went to the United States, but never returned. The last time the Cyclops was seen in Barbados. No one sent any messages from the ship, therefore, everything went according to plan. But the connection suddenly broke and ... the end.
Later, the Navy organized the largest search operation, but neither the wreckage of the ship nor the remains of the crew were found. Researchers believe that the wave that completely swallowed the ship and sent it to the bottom is to blame. But why so far no traces have been found? The answer, again, remains a mystery.
What is the Bermuda Triangle? Is the secret revealed or not? What is fraught with this abnormal zone? Are the events happening at this place really mystical? Or can there be a logical explanation for everything? Who knows if mankind will find answers to all these questions ... And will the future throw other mysteries?
Today, like 50 years ago, the secrets of the Bermuda Triangle excite the minds of the public. Will we ever be able to solve this riddle, will we have the opportunity to predict the natural anomalies occurring in this territory? Let's hope that we find out about this in the near future.
This place is located in the vast Canadian expanses in the Nahanni National Park. It got its terrible name because of a series of tragic incidents that spanned more than 100 years. At the end of the 19th century, gold was discovered here and fortune hunters from all over the country reached the valley. The first misfortune occurred in 1898, when a group of six gold miners disappeared without a trace. They tried to find them, but could not. Seven years later, two MacLaud brothers and their friend Robert Veer disappeared in the same valley. Like the first group, they simply disappeared without a trace. Only three years later, nine decapitated corpses were accidentally discovered, which could only be identified by the miraculously preserved talismans.
The mysterious disappearances of people continued later. It got to the point that in 1962-1965 two expeditions were sent to the valley to clarify the circumstances. However, these scientists were also soon found without goals. In 1978, another, much more prepared and equipped expedition gathered. Henk Mortimer, a well-known American paranormal researcher, led it. Scientists had with them a complete set of tools that may be needed in emergency situations, as well as the necessary equipment to maintain constant communication with the camp. Nevertheless, already in the evening of the very first day of the expedition, the operator in the camp heard the terrible screams of the expedition members and the words of the radio operator Ray Wilson: "Emptiness comes out of the rock ... It's terrible!" An alarm was immediately raised with a helicopter with armed fighters on board, but at the place where, according to the members of the expedition, their tent was supposed to stand, nothing was found at all, no signs of the presence of people. And only after five days of continuous searches, the rescuers still managed to find the decapitated corpse of one of the scientists.
Deaths and mysterious disappearances in the Valley of the Headless continue to this day. But there is not even the slightest hint of what is really happening there. People put forward many versions. Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is a gang of thugs working in the valley, who hunt for gold miners and their prey. However, the local police do not confirm this conjecture. According to the sheriff, no one has ever noticed any strange strangers in this place. But the locals themselves are convinced that all deaths are the work of squealers. Creatures similar to hairy giant people were often seen here, even more often found traces of him. Whether a snowman could deal so cruelly with uninvited guests of his possessions is unknown.
The triangle is one of the first geometric figures that began to be used in the ornaments of ancient peoples. In ancient Egypt, it was rectangular and was the embodiment of a triad of spiritual will, love and the highest mind of man.
Triangle - a symbol of the triune nature of the universe: Heaven, Earth, Man; father, mother, child; man as a body, soul and spirit; mystical number three; three, the first of the flat figures. Hence the symbol of the surface in general. The surface consists of triangles (Plato).
An equilateral triangle symbolizes completion.
In the Ancient East, a triangle was revered as symbol of nature of all things. A triangle with a top connected to the same geometric figure, pharmacies used as the emblem of the time cycle.
The hermeneutical tradition knows many types of triangles with different interpretations.
Yantra Tara
Apex Triangle, is lunar and has the symbolism of the feminine, uterus, water, cold, nature, body, yoni, shakti. Symbolizes the Great Mother as a parent. The horizontal line is the earth; her color is white. In the symbolism of mountains and caves, a mountain is a male triangle facing up, and a cave is a female triangle facing down. In many yantras of the goddesses, a triangle is placed in the middle with its top down with a dot.
Top-facing triangle, is sunny and has the symbolism of life, fire, flame, heat (hence the horizontal line symbolizing air), masculinity, lingam, shakta, the spiritual world; it is also the trinity of love, truth and wisdom. It means royal greatness and has a red color as a symbol.
Hexagram. When it is superimposed on the sign of the feminine principle described above, we get the Hindu emblem of the union of the creating and generating beginnings - the hexagram.
In the Indian tradition, such a symbol was also interpreted as a sign of the love of the gods for everything earthly. In Europe, this geometric figure was known as the star of David.
A triangle inscribed in a circle represents a world of forms enclosed in a circle of eternity. Plutarch, describing this geometric figure, called the space bounded by the sides of the triangle, the plain of truth, on which the images of everything that was and will be located. Triangles can also act as a lunar symbol, then they are located horizontally and touch their vertices. The common point of these triangles symbolically denotes death and the new moon.
In Buddhist tradition, two interlocking triangles represent the pure flame and the Three Jewels of Buddha.
Trinity and Triangle
Since the early Christians, the triangle has been a symbol of the Holy Trinity. The equilateral triangle was interpreted as equality and a single divine essence of God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit. Sometimes this symbol was composed of three intertwined fish. According to the Catholic tradition, the Trinity symbol was composed of three small triangles inscribed in one large with circles on tops. These three circles mean trinity, but each circle is independent and perfect on its own. This diagram illustrates the principle of trinity and at the same time the individuality of each component of the Holy Trinity.
Seal of Solomon
The seal of Solomon is another name for David, formed by the overlapping of two triangles, i.e. hexagrams. According to legend, King Solomon, with the help of this sign, controlled spirits enclosed in a copper vessel. It is believed that the seal of Solomon is a powerful amulet that can protect its owner from the influence of evil spirits.
Kepler's Triangle
At the beginning of the XVII century. the famous astronomer Kepler made a diagram of the connection of the planets of Saturn and Jupiter. So in astronomy they call the location of the planets, in which for the earth observer the ecliptic longitudes are equal to zero, and the celestial bodies themselves are close to each other or even overlap. Kepler presented this phenomenon in the form of a triangle, which rotates in a zodiac circle, making a complete revolution in 2400 years.
Triangle in antique architecture
In the ancient tradition, the triangle, with its top up, symbolized the desire of matter for the spirit. Therefore, the pediments of ancient Greek temples in the most ancient times were made triangular and decorated in every way. Unlike later, more northern European buildings, the presence of a gable roof was not caused by climatic conditions. Ancient Greece had a warm climate and there was no snow in winter.
Vessel triangles
In the Neolithic era of the early agricultural peoples, triangles in the ornaments symbolized air, earth and fire. They are one of the most ancient symbols associated with agricultural work, nature and its calendar cycles.
Triangle Constellation
The exact origin of the name of this constellation is unknown. It got its name in the Ancient East, it was known and used in navigation by Phoenician sailors. For them, it symbolized a sacred stone of a pyramidal shape. The triangle was one of the 48 classical constellations of antiquity. The ancient Greeks believed that this is the Nile Delta transferred to the sky, which indicates the Egyptian roots of the name of the constellation. Already in New time, the constellations of the Southern Triangle and the Rectangle were identified in the starry sky.
Eye in the triangle
The symbol, graphically representing an eye inscribed in a triangle, called the "eye of providence" or the "all-seeing eye", appeared in Europe in the 17th century. It is believed that it dates back to the solar eye of Horus of the ancient Egyptians. This sign is widespread in Baroque architecture, decorating the pediments of luxurious Catholic churches. In the XIX century, he appeared in Orthodox churches, for example, on the pediment of the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Christianity regarded it as a symbol of the Holy Trinity. At the same time, this symbol was used by the Masons, who interpreted it as a symbol of the absolute, enlightenment and higher knowledge. For Masons, the "eye of providence" is located above the chair of the master of the lodge, so as to remind of the Creator’s wisdom, which penetrates all the secrets.
A triangle in a circle means a world of forms enclosed in a circle of eternity. The area inside such a triangle is the common center of them all and is called the Plain of Truth, on which are the cause, forms and images of all that was and will be; they are there in peace, which cannot be disturbed, and Eternity surrounds them; and from here time, like a stream of a fountain, flows down into the worlds (Plutarch).
Three connected triangles indicate the inviolable unity of the three faces of the Trinity.
The double triangle, the six-pointed star, Seal of Solomon, Mogun David, says that every true analogy must be used back, above, then below. This is a union of opposites, male and female, positive and negative, with the upper triangle white and the lower black, fire and water, evolution and involution, interpenetration, all are the image of another, hermaphrodite, a perfect balance of complementary forces, androgynous manifestation of the deity, a person peering into its own nature, the dual forces of creation, the synthesis of all elements, with the triangle turned upward as a heavenly symbol, and downward - as an earthly symbol, and together - the symbol of man, how about uniting these two worlds. How the Seal of Solomon is an image of the Preserving; it gives spiritual power over matter and is the master of genies.
Two triangles lying horizontally and touching the tops are the lunar symbol, the growing and waning moon, eternal return, death and life, dying and resurrection. The point of contact is the new moon and death. Alchemists have two triangles - essence and substance, forma and materia, spirit and soul, sulfur and mercury, stable and variable, spiritual strength and bodily existence.
The triangles symbolizing are as follows:
fire (facing up)
water (facing down)
air (facing the truncated top up),
ground (facing a truncated top down).
The Chinese a triangle with suspended swords symbolizes restoration.
Christians an equilateral triangle or triangle formed by three intersecting circles, symbolizes the Trinity in the unity and equality of the three constituent persons. Triangular radiance is an attribute of God the Father.
The Egyptians The triangle symbolizes the triad. They compare the vertical side (the right triangle) with the man, the horizontal side with the woman, and the hypotenuse with their descendant: Osiris as the beginning, Isis as the middle or vault, and Horus as the completion (Plutarch). The hand of the Egyptians is a union of fire and water, man and woman. A figure of three double triangles surrounded by concentric circles symbolizes Khui, the Land of Spirits.
The Greeks the delta symbolizes the door of life, the feminine, fertility.
Indians upward and downward-facing triangles are shakta and shakti, lingam and yoni, Shiva and his Shakti.
The Pythagoreans an equilateral triangle symbolizes Athena as the goddess of wisdom.
Aztecs used the image of a triangle with a vertex at the top connected to an inverted triangle as a symbol of a time cycle, o The triangle in combination with a cross forms the alchemical sign of Sulfur. Inverted, it means the completed Great Work.
An equilateral triangle symbolizing, according to the Hebrew tradition, perfection, among Christians means the Trinity - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Masons the triangle symbolizes the Threefoldness of the cosmos, and its sides - Light, Darkness and Time (foundation).
The triangle seen in a dream symbolizes the maternal womb of space.
In ancient China the triangle is a "symbol of the feminine," but does not play a significant role in speculative reasoning. In Tibetan tantrism, the combination of two equilateral hexagram triangles represents "penetration into the feminine male fire."
The symbolic sign “Heart of Hrungnir” of three intertwined triangles. Viking times. Gotland Island.
In Judaism and Christianity the triangle is a sign of God. The God of the Christian Trinity is sometimes represented by an eye inside a triangle or a figure with a triangular halo. Alchemists used triangles with vertices pointing up and down as signs of fire and water. In a more general sense, linear triangles or triangular-shaped compositions can mean triads of gods or other triple concepts.
Magic triangle Christian theosophists have the famous "abracadabra" to which they attributed extraordinary properties. Used as a magic formula, this word usually fit into or line up like an inverted triangle.
San jiao fu, or "Triangular Spell", is a piece of paper on which spells are written, folded in the shape of a triangle.
Gnostic amulets were varied in shape: triangular, rectangular, fire - Tejas - red - green - triangle.
Union - all paired oppositions, perfect circle, intersecting circles, double triangle, androgyne, trees with inverted branches, unicorn horn, yin-yang, lingam and yoni.
An important role in architecture is played by the geometrical symbolism of the cosmos: all circular shapes express the idea of \u200b\u200bthe sky, a square is the earth, a triangle symbolizes the interaction between the earth and the sky.
Incredible facts
Literally everyone probably heard about the Bermuda Triangle, but few people know that this is actually far not the only place on our planet covered with secrets and riddles.
"Bermuda triangles", where people disappear, see UFOs and mysterious creatures and where various paranormal phenomena take place, exist around the world.
People find a variety of explanations for what scientists cannot explain, and some theories reach the ridiculous. Most of these phenomena do not have simple explanations.
Mysterious Superstition Mountains
Superstition Mountains - A mountain range located in Arizona, USA, and it justifies its name. According to legend, somehow in the 19th century a man named Jacob Volts discovered a gold deposit in the mountains that he called "The Last Dutch Goldmine".
He kept secret the location of the deposit until his death and revealed the secret to only one single person. However, the field was never found, despite the many expeditions that have visited these mountains. Some claimed that in these places the souls of dead people roam who gave their lives in search of gold.
According to Native American legend, these mountains are protected by certain creatures, which are called Tuar-Toms (Little People). They live under the mountains in caves and tunnels. Some believe that in the mountains entrance to the underworld.
Brazilian magnetic anomaly
Have you ever heard of "Bermuda triangles" of space? That's what you can call Brazilian magnetic anomaly - a strange area in the south of the Atlantic.
