"Taumata whakatangihanga koauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu" 

"Taumata whakatangihanga koauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu" is the Māori name for a hill, 305 metres (1,001 ft) high in New Zealand.It has gained a measure of fame as it is the longest place-name found in any English-speaking country.

The name on the sign that marks the hill is “Taumata whakatangihanga koauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu”, which translates roughly as The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one. At 85 letters, it has been listed in the Guinness World Records as one of the longest place names in the world.

It’s shortened to "Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu" (57 letters) in the New Zealand Geographic Placenames Database, and often shortened even further to “Taumata”, for ease of conversation by the locals.

The Mystery of Bermuda Triangle

1- The Bermuda Triangle (also known as Devil's Triangle and Devil's Sea) is a nearly half-million square-mile area of ocean. This area is noted for a high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats, and aircraft.:-)

2- The Bermuda triangle became famous overnight as a result of the Flight 19 incident in 1945, wherein a group of US fighter planes mysteriously disappeared from this area, and the aircraft which went as a part of the search operation met with the same fate.

3- What followed was a series of disappearances of aircraft and ships of all shapes and sizes, which left people wondering as to what was wrong with this region.

4- Some popular explanations:
┗▶ . Methane Gas trapped under the sea floor can erupt, as a result can lower the water density and cause ships to sink. Even planes flying over it, can catch fire and get completely destroyed during such gas blowout.

┗▶   Sargasso Sea is an area in the triangle that has no shores andbounded by water currents on all sides. The ships passing through it have been stranded and made motionless.
┗▶  Electronic Fog, a strange thick cloud appears from nowhere and engulfs a ship or a plane.

5- Instruments begin to malfunction, and finally the ship or the aircraft vanishes without a trace.

6- Triangle writers have used a number of supernatural concepts to explain the events.

7- One explanation pins the blame on leftover technology from the mythical lost continent of Atlantis.

8- Sometimes connected to the Atlantis story is the submerged rock formation known as the Bimini Road off the island of Bimini in the Bahamas.

9- Other writers attribute the events to UFOs or unexplained forces.

10- Numerous official agencies have stated that the number and nature of disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean and is just a coincidence.
