Bermuda Triangle (Mary Celeste)

Mary Celeste was quite small Brigandine ship, which gained noteriety after he crushed and been found by another ship.

What is so interesting about it? Ships in those times got lost very often, becasue there wasn’t so highly developed technology to follow them.

This case is different. When sailors of the other boat got on deck of Mary Celeste they were suprised, cause the ship was abandoned. The sails were torn, and some of the hatches leading under the deck were open. However, there was no trace of the crew. All their private belongings were there, and people seemed to disappear.

Another interesting thing is that the abandoned ship drifted for 9 days (the last entry in the logbook was on November 25), covering 740 km during this time until it was found by the crew. Ship has on its deck a lot of barrels with spirit, but when they found Mary Celeste 9 of them was empty.

The most logical theory is that the crew smelled evaporating spirit smell and decided to escape, because in those times exploations on boats often happened.

There are many legends and theories about it, but we’ll never find out what really happened.

    "exploations" were probably meant to be explosions?
    When you talk about ships in English you use the female pronoun SHE. So she didn't sink and she was abandoned.

Underwater pyramid in the Azores

Obraz
  At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, a large pyramid-shape was found. The top of the pyramid is 40 meters deep and 60 meters high and covers an area of ​​8,000 m2. The underwater pyramid was discovered by a local angler in September this year during one of his trips. This angler claims that the pyramid must have been built with human hands and it may be the mythical Atlantis. However, not everyone is convinced that the find from the Azores is a pyramid. Skeptics that there is a chance that this is just an underwater volcanic hill, not a residual Atlantean civilization. (it’s because Azores are archipelago of nine volcanic islands and that’s why people are not convinced about the theory of underwater city)    https://curiosmos.com/is-there-a-20000-year-old-underwater-pyramid-in-the-atlantic-ocean/

Observation 7

Some time ago I’ve read an article in which the author considered whether online or stationary education is better. „E-learning” had and in some places still have its pros and cons. To answer which side wins we probably would hace to ask many people, because everyone has their own opinion. Personally I agree with the author of this text. Spending many hours in front of the computer, not seeing friends for quite a long time and being home for many weeks was definetely very challenging for everyone. Everybody could feel negative effects of that education method despite the fact that, as it was said, we spend great part of our lives in the internet. I’m sure it was pretty interesting experience but if we ever go back to those days in our memories we will remember that it required from us a lot of patience and positive thinking. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/nov/08/the-big-idea-should-we-leave-the-classroom-behind

Are polish people polite and kind?

In my opinion polish people are polite and kind. I think that everybody heard about ,,polish hospitality". From the very beginning of our country we can see a lot of exaples of kidness. Why didn't we heard about for example german hospitality? Because it's Poland and polish people known of heartendness from hundreds of years. Good example of these features is Otto III's visit to Poland in 1000. Our king - Bolesław Chrobry- hosted him and gave a lot of gifts. Additonally in now a days, a lot of nationalities say that polish people are very polite and Poland is a country where is a good food, beautiful women and great people.
