The Mysterious Sea of Demons in Japan, Just like the Bermuda Triangle
A number of waters in this world keep mysteries that have not been solved until now.
In general, people know the Bermuda Triangle or the Bermuda Triangle as an ocean that holds a mystery because ships and airplanes that pass through the area disappear without a trace.
However, it turns out that the Bermuda Triangle is not the only waters that holds a mystery. Citing CNN, The Devil's Sea also has a similar phenomenon. There is a Mass Grave So, what is the Devil's Sea and what are the mysteries hidden in it? Here are the facts as summarized: Location of the Devil's Sea Based on information from CNN, The Devil's Sea or Devil's Sea is also known as the Dragon's Triangle. The location is in the Pacific Ocean, precisely around Miyake Island, Japan or 100 kilometers from Tokyo to the south.

Quoting from Marine Insight, the area in Japanese is called ma-no umi which means Sea of the Devil or Devil's Sea. True to its name, the Dragon's Triangle forms an imaginary triangular line that extends between Japan, the Bonin Islands, and most of the Philippine Sea.
The exact location of the Japanese Demon Sea is still debated as some reports claim different distances to the region. Therefore, the Japanese Demon Sea was not officially included on the map, as the size and circumference of the waters are unknown.
Many ships lost in the Devil's Sea Author Charles Berlitz's notes as quoted by CNN reveal that the Japanese government has lost five military ships as well as 100 scientists who were sent to study the area.
Unfortunately, the mysterious disappearance occurred in just two years between 1952 and 1954. According to information from Marine Insight, Kublai Khan of the Mongol Empire who was the grandson of Genghis Khan, had tried to enter Japan in 1274 and 1281. However, both attempts failed. because he lost his ship and 40,000 troops which allegedly occurred in the waters of the Devil's Sea of Japan.
At that time, history says that Kublai Khan's army was hit by a terrible typhoon in the sea so that it disappeared without a trace. Furthermore, in the period 1940 to 1950s, a number of fishing vessels and more than five Japanese military vessels disappeared without a trace at sea. The location of the disappearance of the ships is estimated to be between Miyake Island and Iwo Jima.
The Japanese government then sent a research ship named Kaio Maru No. 5 in 1952 to investigate the disappearance of the ships. However, the research ship with 31 crew met with disaster. The wreck of the Kaio Maru No. 5 was indeed found, but not with the presence of the crew.
Following this incident, the Japanese government reportedly declared this area dangerous for sea shipping and freight forwarding. In addition, all attempts to uncover the facts behind the mystery of the Japanese Demon Sea were also canceled.
Legend of the dragon in the sea Devil's Sea An ancient legend tells that there is a dragon that lives off the coast of Japan, as quoted from CNN. Therefore, the waters were named Dragon's Triangle. Based on information from Marine Insight, the legend of the dragon in the sea actually comes from a Chinese fairy tale. The tale tells of a dragon beneath the surface of the sea that attacks every passing ship to satisfy their hunger.
These fables even existed long before the Christian era, around the 1000 BC era. Devil's Sea Similarities with the Bermuda Triangle The Japanese Devil's Sea has a number of similarities with the Bermuda Triangle. Based on information from CNN, the area is also related to the alleged phenomenon of The Vile Vortices, such as the Bermuda Triangle. The Vile Vortices are phenomena in the waters that have strange physical anomalies and unexplained phenomena.
This condition is often associated with the attraction of electromagnetic waves that are stronger than elsewhere.
Naturalist and paranormal expert Ivan Sanderson hypothesized that hot and cold currents passing through eddies in these waters created electromagnetic disturbances. The disturbance affects the instruments of ships and planes so that every ship and plane that passes is lost without a trace. Sanderson also included the Japanese Devil's Sea region in an article entitled The 12 Devil's Graveyards Around the World.
Phenomenal writing was released in 1972. Another similarity between the Bermuda Triangle and the Japanese Devil's Sea is that they are both at the same latitude, which is north of the equator. Another Sanderson hypothesis as quoted from Marine Insight is the existence of an underwater volcano in the mysterious waters. The eruption of this volcano is thought to have triggered the loss of ships and airplanes passing by. Not surprisingly, the Japanese Devil's Sea is also called the Pacific Bermuda Triangle.
