BERMUDA TRIANGLE

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region in the western partof the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and surface vessels allegedly disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

Popular culture has attributed these disappearances to the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings . Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, and numerousofficial agencies have stated that the number and nature of disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean.

The boundaries of the triangle cover the Straits of Florida, the Bahamas and the entireCaribbean island area and the Atlantic east to the Azores. The more familiar triangularboundary in most written works has as its points somewhere on the Atlantic coast ofMiami; San Juan, Puerto Rico ; and the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda, with most of the accidents concentrated along the southern boundary around the Bahamas and theFlorida Straits.

SOME NOTABLE INCIDENTS The incident resulting in the single largest loss of life in the history of the US Navy not related to combat occurred when USS Cyclops, under the command ofLt G.W .Worley , went missing without a trace with a crew of 309 sometime after March 4, 1918, after departing the island of Barbados. Although there is no strong evidence for any single theory, many independent theories exist, some blaming storms,some capsizing, and some suggesting that wartime enemy activity was to blame for the loss.

Flight 19 was a training flight of TBM Avenger bombers that went missing on December5, 1945,while over the Atlantic. The squadron's flight path was scheduled to take them due east for 120 miles, north for 73 miles, and then back over a final 120-mile leg thatwould return them to the naval base, but they never returned.A search and rescue Mariner aircraft with a 13-man crew was dispatched to aid theMissing squadron, but the Mariner itself was never heard from again. Later, there was a report from a tanker cruising off the coast of Florida of a visible explosion at about thetime the Mariner would have been on patrol.While the basic facts of this version of the story are essentially accurate, some important Details are missing. The weather was becoming stormy by the end of the incident, andnaval reports and written recordings of the conversations between Taylor and the other pilots of Flight 19 do not indicate magnetic problems.

SS MARINE SULPHUR QUEENSS Marine Sulphur Queen, a T2 tanker converted from oil to sulfur carrier, was lastheard from on February 4, 1963 with a crew of 39 near the Florida Keys. Marine Sulphur Queen was the first vessel mentioned in Vincent Gaddis' 1964 Argosy Magazine article,but he left it as having "sailed into the unknown", despite the Coast Guard report, whichnot only documented the ship’s badly-maintained history, but declared that it was an unseaworthy vessel that should never have gone to sea.

CONCLUSION There have been lots of explanation given by some people & scientists. Some believe there is a wormhole that transports the things in to some different time & space & some believe it has a huge amount of gravitational pull which pulled these ships & aircrafts under the sea. Someeven believe that there is some Extraterrestrial Beings that controls the Triangle. But the truthis unknown to mankind. Maybe some day we humans will have a logical explanation for the mysterious Bermuda Triangle.

ARK OF THE COVENANT The Ark of the Covenant also known as the Ark of the Testimony, is a chest described in Book of Exodus as solely containing the Tablets of Stone on which the Ten Commandments were inscribed. According to some traditional interpretations of the Book of Exodus, Book of Numbers and Epistle to the Hebrew the Ark also contained Aaron's rod,a jar of manna and the first Torah scroll as written by Moses. However, Books of Kings is categoric in declaring that the Ark contained only the two Tablets of the Law. According to the Book of Exodus, the Ark was built at the command of God, in accordance with the instructions given to Moses on Mount Sinai. God was said to have communicated with Moses "from between the two cherubim" on the Ark's cover. Rashi and some Midrashim suggest that there were two arks – a temporary one made by Moses himself, and a later one constructed by Bezalel.The biblical account relates that during the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, the Ark was carriedby the priests some 2,000 cubits in advance of the people and their army, or host.When the Ark was borne by priests into the bed of the Jordan, water in the river separated, opening a pathway for the entire host to pass through (Josh. 3:15-16; 4:7-18). The city of Jericho was taken with no more than a shout after the Ark of the Covenant was paraded for seven daysaround its wall by seven priests sounding seven trumpets of rams' horns (Josh. 6:4-20). When carried, the Ark was always wrapped in a veil, in tachash skins and a blue cloth, and wascarefully concealed, even from the eyes of the Kohanim who carried it. There are no contemporary extra-biblical references to the Ark.

BIBLICAL ACCOUNTCONSTRUCTION & DESCRIPTION

According to the Book of Exodus, God instructed Moses on Mount Sinai during his 40 day stay upon the mountain within the thick cloud and darkness where God was (Ex. 19:20; 24:18) and he was shown the pattern for the tabernacle and furnishings of the Ark to be made of shittim-wood to house the Tablets of Stone. Moses instructed Bezalel and Oholiab to construct the Ark (Exodus 31).The Book of Exodus gives detailed instructions on how the Ark is to be constructed. It is to be2½ cubits in length, 1½ in breadth, and 1½ in height (as 21⁄2×11⁄2×11⁄2 royal cubits).Then it is to be plated entirely with gold, and a crown or molding of gold is to be put around it.Four rings of gold are to be attached—two on each side—and through these rings staves of shittim-wood overlaid with gold for carrying the Ark are to be inserted; and these are not to beremoved. A golden cover, adorned with golden cherubim, is to be placed above the Ark. The Ark is finally to be placed behind a veil (Parochet), a full description of which is also given.

MOBILE VANGUARDAfter its creation by Moses, the Ark was carried by the Israelites during their 40-years of wandering in the desert. Whenever the Israelites camped, the Ark was placed in a special and sacred tent, called the Tabernacle.When the Israelites, led by Joshua toward the Promised Land, arrived at the banks of the River Jordan, the Ark was carried in the lead preceding the people and was the signal for their advance (Joshua 3:3, 6). During the crossing, the river grew dry as soon as the feet of the priestscarrying the Ark touched its waters, and remained so until the priests—with the Ark—left the river after the people had passed over (Josh. 3:15-17; 4:10, 11, 18). As memorials, twelvestones were taken from the Jordan at the place where the priests had stood (Josh. 4:1-9).

CAPTURE BY THE PHILINSTINES The Ark is next spoken of as being in the Tabernacle at Shiloh during Samuel's apprenticeship(1 Sam. 3:3). After the settlement of the Israelites in Canaan, the Ark remained in the Tabernacle at Gilgal for a season before being removed to Shiloh until the time of Eli, between300 and 400 years (Jeremiah 7:12), when it was carried into the field of battle, so as to secure, as they had hoped, victory to the Hebrews. The Ark was taken by the Philistines (1 Sam. 4:3-11) who subsequently sent it back after retaining it for seven months (1 Sam. 5:7, 8) because of theevents said to have transpired.

IN THE DAYS OF KING DAVIDAt the beginning of his reign, King David removed the Ark from Kirjath-jearim amid great rejoicing. On the way to Zion, Uzzah, one of the drivers of the cart whereon the Ark was carriedput out his hand to steady the Ark, and was smitten by God for touching it. David, in fear, Carried the Ark aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, instead of carrying it on to Zion, and there it stayed three months.On hearing that God had blessed Obed-edom because of thepresence of the Ark in his house, David had the Ark brought to Zion by the Levites, while he himself, "girded with a linen ephod,”"danced before the Lord with all his might" and in thesight of all the public gathered in Jerusalem — a performance that caused him to be scornfully rebuked by his first wife, Saul’s daughter Michal.In Zion, David put the Ark in the tabernacle he had prepared for it, offered sacrifices, distributed food, and blessed the peopleand his own household.The Levites were appointed to minister before the Ark (1 Chron. 16:4).David's plan of building a temple for the Ark was stopped at the advice of God The Ark waswith the army during the siege of Rabbah and when David fled from Jerusalem at the time of Absalom's conspiracy, the Ark was carried along with him until he ordered Zadok the priestto return it to Jerusalem.

IN SOLOMON’S TEMPLEWhen Abiathar was dismissed from the priesthood by King Solomon for having taken part in Adonijah's conspiracy against David, his life was spared because he had formerly borne the Ark Solomon worshipped before the Ark after his dream in which God promised him wisdom .During the construction of Solomon's Temple, a special inner room, named Kodesh Hakodashim was prepared to receive and house the Ark and when the Temple was dedicated, the ArKcontaining the original tablets of the Ten Commandments—was placed therein (1 Kings 8:6-9). When the priests emerged from the holy place after placing the Ark there, the Temple was filledwith a cloud, "for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord”.When Solomon marriedPharaoh's daughter, he caused her to dwell in a house outside Zion, as Zion was consecratedbecause of its containing the Ark (2 Chron. 8:11). King Josiah had the Ark put in the Templewhence it appears to have again been removed by one of his successors.
