Claim: Crystal pyramids have been located on the floor of the “Bermuda Triangle”
Claim: Crystal pyramids have been located on the floor of the “Bermuda Triangle”. Verdict: FALSE The screenshot of the purported pyramid originates from a video on MSN, which cites the tablod Weekly World News as its source. The Weekly World News, the paper that brought the world Batboy, invents all of its stories. The article cited is from a 1991 issue. Meanwhile, the link provided goes to EndAllDisease.com, which seems to have removed the page on “crystal pyramids”. It seems to be an alternative medicine site with a conspiratorial bent, praising countries and cities that ban GMOs and fluoridation. However, what about the story itself? Claims of Crystal Pyramids originate in the 70s with Dr. Ray Brown. In this clip from the 70s series In Search Of…, he talks about his claimed discovery of the pyramids. Conveniently, his camera was destroyed during a storm just before he discovered the pyramid leaving no visual evidence. The only physical evidence he left is a mysterious crystal sphere he claims possessed magical properties…but he never allowed these properties to be scientifically tested. As the names of this alleged French and American scientists are unknown, the video covering their “amazing” find cites a false tabloid, and given the lack of any photographic or physical evidence of the journey undertaken by Ray Brown, that until any additional evidence presents itself it can be said safely that there are no crystal pyramids hidden under the waters of the so-called “Bermuda Triangle”.
