Bermeja
Bermeja is a small and uninhabited island that was believed to exist off the coast of Mexico in the Gulf of Mexico. The island was named Bermeja, which means "reddish" in Spanish, due to the color of its soil. The island was considered important as it was believed to be located in the area where Mexico and the United States' maritime boundaries meet. The existence of the island was first recorded in the 16th century by Spanish explorers, and it was subsequently included in various maps and charts.
However, in 2009, the Mexican government conducted an extensive search for Bermeja using satellite imagery and other technology but was unable to find any trace of the island. This led to speculation that the island may have sunk due to natural causes, such as seismic activity or erosion, or may have been intentionally destroyed to alter the maritime boundary between Mexico and the United States.
The disappearance of Bermeja has sparked controversy and has raised questions about the accuracy of historical maps and the impact of geopolitical interests on the natural environment. The mystery of Bermeja continues to fascinate scholars, historians, and conspiracy theorists, and it remains a subject of speculation and debate.
- Some scholars and historians believe that Bermeja never existed and was a myth or a cartographic error.
