Atlantis in the Bermuda Triangle

RecordOBS-0214
CategoryUnexplained/Bermuda Triangle
StatusDEBUNKED
SummaryCharles Berlitz, in the 1970s, claimed Atlantis was a real continent off the Bahamas that was destroyed by the Bermuda Triangle. Supporters point to underwater formations near Bimini as evidence, but scientists identify these as natural beach rock.
OriginThe theory was popularized by Charles Berlitz in the 1970s, building on earlier Atlantis speculation.
Claimed
  • Atlantis was located in the Bermuda Triangle region.
  • The Bermuda Triangle caused the destruction of Atlantis.
  • Underwater structures off Bimini are man-made walls and streets from Atlantis.
Evidence / consensusGeological studies show the Bimini Road formations are natural beach-rock, not man-made. There is no evidence of a sunken civilization in the Bermuda Triangle.
> OBSERVER NOTE:
Berlitz conflated two mysteries to create a third. The Bimini formations are a classic case of pareidolia in geology.
