Triangle?
Christopher Columbus did not discover America. By the time that the Italian colonizer “sailed the ocean blue, in 1492,” many tribes of indigenous people had already been living in the Americas for countless centuries — the same native people whom the notably vicious, tyrannical Columbus went on to terrorize, enslave, and torture. Even by the Eurocentric standards of “discovery,” Columbus was hardly the first European to venture out to the New World, since the Viking expedition of Icelander Leif Erikson found its way to American shores way back in the 11th century, and stayed there for a decade. There are some who believe that even Erikson was preceded by an Irish monk, St. Brendan, in the sixth century, or that Columbus was preceded in the 1400s by a Chinese Muslim named Zheng He.
So no, Christopher Columbus certainly didn’t “discover” America, by any stretch of the imagination. But on his famous voyages westward, the journeys that have become the stuff of myth and legend, he did uncover something else. Something a lot eerier, less triumphant, and far less understood.
In 1492, he discovered the Bermuda Triangle.
During his voyages, Columbus kept a log, which went on to be the best record of his journeys west. The now legendary and controversial explorer, who by all reports was an impossibly difficult person to be around, and he did not have the best relationship with his Spanish crew: by 1492, he was constantly lying to them, misrepresenting the distances they had covered, and coming up against the very real and unnerving possibility of a mutiny.
Then, on one fateful day, according to Columbus’s log, something weird happened.
Columbus looked down at his compass and it gave him a strange reading. It wasn’t pointing to magnetic north, as it always had and as it was supposed to. It was as if the laws of nature were changing. As if they no longer were in the same world. At this point, surely enough, they had journeyed inside the area that would one day be known as the Bermuda Triangle.
Now, keep in mind, at this point Columbus’s crew was already on edge, on a level that people in the present day can’t even begin to understand. They were on a wooden ship, countless miles from the world they’d known, embarking on a voyage that, as far as they knew, no one else had ever taken. Combining that with a bizarrely erratic compass could have easily pushed the crew to a mutiny, so Columbus hid this mystery from his Spanish crew. He apparently made some quick explanation up on the fly, which didn’t really satisfy him — after all, he saw fit to mark the strange occurrence in his log — but was good enough to keep the crew from lashing out.

The Bermuda Triangle is a mythical section of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico where dozens of ships and airplanes have disappeared. Unexplained circumstances surround some of these accidents, including one in which the pilots of a squadron of U.S. Navy bombers became disoriented while flying over the area; the planes were never found. Other boats and planes have seemingly vanished from the area in good weather without even radioing distress messages. But although myriad fanciful theories have been proposed regarding the Bermuda Triangle, none of them prove that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently there than in other well-traveled sections of the ocean. In fact, people navigate the area every day without incident.
