What Experts Saw At The Bottom Of The Deepest Ocean In The World
Who can touch the bottom? Such a phrase can often be heard among our children, frolicking on the shores of rivers or playing on the coasts of our seas and oceans. However, childhood passes, and as certain of us grow into adulthood, we aim for more ambitious goals, some to conquer the highest peaks of the globe, while others seek to Plumb the farthest depths to literally touch the bottom of our earth’s waters in places where neither human nor other living beings can. Exist, except, of course, for some unassuming bacteria.
Such an attraction is the abyss of Challenger, the deepest point of the Mariana Trench, which is at a depth of 10,994 meters, or almost 36,000 feet, below sea level. The first daredevils who dared to dive into these dangerous depths were the Swiss engineer Jacques Picard and the US Navy’s Lieutenant, Don Welch. On January 23rd, 1960, in the Bath Escape Trieste, these fearless men descended to the very bottom of the world ocean. The researchers were confident that they would see no life at a depth of more than 10 kilometers.
And really, what kind of living creature could withstand such extraordinary pressures exceeding our everyday atmospheric pressure? By 1072 times, any Organism we can imagine would simply be squashed, crushed, ripped, and smashed into smithereens under such pressure created by the billions of tons of water above. However, during the expedition, the scientists began to reassess their disbelief. After having spent almost five hours continuously diving, Jacques Picard and Don Welch spent just 20 minutes at the bottom.
Understandably, they were overcome with feelings of a wild, primitive fear which made them pray for the help of their colleagues on the surface. What could frighten such experienced researchers who have lived through so many real dangers in their lives? The first thing that tickled the nerves of these men in the bath escape were strange, eerie sounds, reminiscent of the gnashing and grinding of metal on metal. Was it possible that someone else was diving at the same time, but the conquerors of the depths had no wish to make it?
Yeses to dispel doubts, they directed their gaze to the monitor for their echo sounder, a kind of sonar device. The sight caused even more horror on the device there were gigantic shadows reminiscent of some mythical 3 headed creatures, something like Dragons. However, this could be attributed to the scientist’s fatigue as they were under such extreme conditions. It could easily be just their imagination, however.
Once back on the surface, something made the hearts of these amazing aquanauts pop out of their chests from fear. The huge steel bath escape with its 13-centimeter or five-inch thick walls was crimpled like a ping pong ball and a heavy-duty 20-centimeter or 8-inch diameter cable was cut in half. Just imagine what kind of a creature could be capable of rendering such damage. So what caused this bizarre incident, and why was such a strange occurrence kept from the public for 36 years?
Only later, in 1996, did the New York Times finally publish a story about the shocking event. Maybe the scientists in the US Navy have been hiding something important from us all of these years. Or did a serious, authoritative publication suddenly decide to hype up a fictitious story to sell newspapers? It hardly seems possible, and believe it or not, there’s another confirmation of the presence of a mysterious creature.
In the deepest part of our world, the ocean, German researchers lowered the Batus Cave hagfish to the bottom of the Mariana Trench on a mission to observe the inhabitants of the Challenger of this. What they saw shocked the entire team. On their monitors, scientists saw a gargantuan monstrous lizard creature frightens. They turned on their so-called electric gun, which electrifies the area outside the craft.
Thankfully, this made the frightening monster swim away. But we must ask, who or what is this mysterious inhabitant of the sea depths, and what kind of a danger is it to us? While you’re writing your assumptions in the comments, let’s go 48 years earlier, long before the 1st expedition in 1918, Australian lobster catchers claimed that they had repeatedly seen a giant fishlike creature more than 30 meters or 100 feet long. According to all of their descriptions, the monster resembled a shark weighing approximately 100 tons, equipped with huge 2-meter or 6 1/2 foot jaws and with 10-centimeter or 4-inch long teeth.
This could be nothing other than Megalodon, a giant shark thought to be extinct, which inhabited the waters of the World Ocean more than two million years ago. This monster is larger than any marine creature that has ever existed. So is a miracle animal just hiding in the watery depths and just biting its time? Why not?
After all, during the entire study of the animal Kingdom of the Mariana Trench, numerous oddities have been revealed. Just look at the local amoebas, for example, the simplest single-celled animals. Many of us, often from grammar school lessons in biology, have learned that these minuscule representatives of the wild Kingdom can be seen only with the help of a microscope. But not at the deepest point of our world.
Ocean amoeba here can reach an amazing 10 centimeters or 4 inches in size, the same as the size of a Megalodon’s tooth. Not to mention that there are 1 1/2 meters or 5-foot-long worms and bizarre mutant octopuses. It seems that the deeper we managed to take pictures of living creatures on our earth, the more bizarre the forms they exhibit. In addition, the bottom of the Mariana Trench contains another inexplicable mystery mammoth stone bridges discovered there that are as long as 69 kilometers and look as if they are designed by man.
Is this proof that Atlantis, which according to myths disappeared beneath the water, actually existed? Alas, no. The real explanation is more than trivial. It’s all about the collision of the Pacific and Filipina tectonic plates.
As a result, researchers of the Sea Depths received great pleasure in observing this amazing phenomenon. But this is not the only thing the giant crevice in the ocean bottom can impress us with.
If you previously doubted whether there’s life at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, it is now known that the challenger of this is filled with life itself.
