Later, strengthening the truth behind the legend, the divers and marine archaeologists have found the remaining Mongol fleets from the region.Īnother story doing the rounds tells the sighting of a mysterious lady sailing a vessel in the Devil’s sea in the early 1800s. However, on both attempts, he failed to invade the country after losing his vessels and 40,000 crew members abroad in this triangular area, reportedly due to typhoons.Īs Kublai Khan and his army abandoned the plan to invade Japan, the Japanese believed that it’s God who sent the typhoons to save them from the enemies. It is said that the conqueror Kublai Khan, the fifth Great Khan of the Mongol Empire and the grandson of Genghis Khan, had tried to make inroads into Japan in 12 AD. According to the legends, the waters of the triangle are notorious for making even the strongest vessels disappear, along with the crew abroad. The area has been in news for several decades for unexplained incidences of vanishing of ships. Such an infamous reputation for this oceanic area has been not gained contemporarily but exists for decades and even centuries if some records are to be believed. The area has also been called the Pacific Bermuda Triangle, denoting its position that is precisely opposite to the Bermuda Triangle and the similarities in the “paranormal phenomena” of the area with that of the Bermuda Triangle. Since the Devil’s Sea is not officially included in the map, the actual size and the perimeter of the notorious waters remain unknown. Some reports state that it is 110 km far from Japan’s east coast region, while another claims that it is located near Iwo Jima, a Japanese Volcano Island which is almost 1,200 km from the Japanese coast. However, the exact location of the Devil’s Sea is disputed since several reports claim different distances to the area. Geographically, the triangle is located around the Miyake, which is a Japanese island that lies around a hundred kilometres south of Tokyo. As the title indicates, the Dragon’s Triangle extends as a triangle between Japan and the Islands of Bonin, including a major portion of the Philippine Sea. Vile vortices are those areas where the pull of the planet’s electromagnetic waves is stronger than anywhere else. Located near the Japanese coast in the Pacific Ocean, the Devil’s Sea (Ma-no Umi in Japanese) is one of the twelve Vile Vortices located around the earth. The Devil’s Sea, also known as the Dragon’s Triangle, is one of such sailors’ nightmares in the waters around the world. Though the notorious Bermuda triangle tops the list of most mysterious places on this planet, a number of other locations also remain mysterious as much as the former. The legends of missing vessels and ghost ships drifting without their crew in these locations have made their synonyms to the mystery. There are tons of mysterious places around the world both on land and in the water – that are difficult to explain logically.
