MAPS OF THE UNKNOWN: Bermuda Triangle Redux



Another ephemeral entry from Max Toth's delirious, dizzying doorstopper Pyramid Prophecies. The Bermuda Triangle was a '70s hotspot for Atlantean shenanigans what with the mysterious Bimini Wall ... or was it the Bimini Road? In either case, the rocks were connected to predictions by Edgar Cayce on Atlantis' imminent resurgence off Bimini, in the far flung year 1969! Further developments detailed by Toth include the discovery of a gigantic underwater pyramid by one Ray Brown while diving off the Bahamas, who explored the pyramid and surrounding ruins in a dreamlike haze and managed to bring a "pyramid crystal" back to the surface with him! Tony O'Connell's Atlantipedia website is a fantastic resource for these and other Atlantean tall tales, and wouldn't you know it seems like ol' Brown wasn't quite on the up and up?

Toth didn't have any qualms about Brown's story though, and it makes for one more juicy tidbit in his righteous stew of Pyramid Prophecies. Ray Brown and "his famous crystal" were also featured (alongside Leonard Nimoy's season four fashion) in the 1980 In Search Of ... episode The Bimini Wall:




See the pyramids inside? I do!
