    The shipwreck in the Namib Desert has not had a convincing explanation in the scientific community. The Namib Desert is a desert with a history of tens of millions of years, but this shipwreck sank in the ocean in 1981Many archaeologists and experts have studied the wreck to find out why it appeared in the desert, but to no avail.

    Many people have given their guesses about the wreck, but basically some theories are not tenable. Some say the wreck may have been due to a tornado at sea that brought the ship to the desertBut a general tornado can only blow a car up, and this wreck is a cargo ship, which is very large, and it is impossible for an ordinary tornado to blow up. Never before has a tornado of this strength been encountered in the world.

    Others say that it may be that the ship had a so-called "space-time gate" when it was sailing at sea, that is, the time-travel we usually see on TVBut this kind of thing is only in **, in reality there is no conclusive evidence that there really is a space-time gate, many times time and space travel is a theory that everyone often uses in order to explain something that cannot be explained, but this theory can only be listened to, and there is no scientific basis at all.

    Whatever the reason, the ship appeared in the desert for a long time, and now the ship has become a very popular place for many travel enthusiasts and explorers, because it should be a magical thing to see a huge shipwreck in the middle of a desert. In addition, because of the existence of undercurrents in the desert, the ship has been moving with the desert, forming a very shocking spectacle.

    Maybe this phenomenon is also an illusion, or it may be the effect of a mirage, or it is a prop left over from the film.

    For the desert, people know the most about the Sahara, as the world's largest desert, is also world-famous, although the Sahara climate conditions are harsh, but the Sahara in Sanmao's pen is romantic, but there is a desert without the romance of the Sahara, and there is no vastness of the Gobi.

    But this desert has the most colorful sand dunes in the world, the thousand-year-old orchid, the ocean on one side, the wonders of the desert on the other, and the landform that resembles the moon, it is also the oldest desert in the world, and its name is the Namibi Desert.

    The Namibi Desert is located in the Atlantic coastline of Namibia in southwest Africa, formed about 80 million years ago, the desert covers an area of 50,000 square kilometers, the main factor for the formation of the desert is because of the sinking of the Benguela cold current on the Atlantic coast, the cold current takes away the water vapor in the desert, resulting in lower precipitation year by year.

    However, in addition to the various wonders of the Namibi Desert, the most striking thing is the ancient shipwreck that sank in the sea of sand, at the end of the last century, the De Beers company hired some geologists to mine diamonds, and geologists found some ancient ruins in the desert during exploration.

    At first, they speculated that it might be an ancient city buried in a sea of sand, but when De Beers cleaned it up, it was discovered that it was not the remains of an ancient city, but an ancient shipwreck, which was supposed to have sunk in the late 15th to early 16th centuries, depending on the weathering of the ship's hull.

    As they continued to clean up, De Beers' geologists found copper and ivory in the hull of the ship, weighing several tons of copper, and a lot of ivory, and in a water pipe, they also found Spanish and Portuguese gold coins, in addition to the ship's artillery and other equipment.

    If it is an ordinary merchant ship, it is not enough to have such a large military force, and more importantly, the discovery of tons of copper and ivory, according to the information collected by some archaeologists and geologists, ivory** is usually controlled by the royal family, and the appearance of tons of copper and artillery means that the ship may be looking for materials to make artillery.

    However, 500 years is not enough time to turn the ocean into a desert, and this ancient shipwreck of the 15th century was hidden in the desert, and it may be that the crew pulled the ship into the desert, and if it was just to find artillery materials, it would not be so much trouble, they may be on some special mission.

    Moreover, this ancient shipwreck has not found a subordinate country, and Portuguese and Spanish gold coins were in circulation in almost every country in the 15th century, and it is difficult to find information about the country from them. Although the De Beers Company spent a lot of money to clean up, the two 15th-century gold coins found were estimated at more than $9 million (about 63 million yuan).

    In the West, the wreck is ownerless, and the gold coins excavated by De Beers are auctioned off, which can also be donated to the state.

This is the orbit of the star at the center of the Milky Way, and the red color is the gas cloud, and the observations of the past two years show that the gas cloud is rotating around a point. By working with these persistent orbits to calculate the position of the central black hole, which is not a black hole, it is a huge object with an invisible mass, and the mass of the central black hole can be deduced from the mass of about 4 million suns based on the radius, velocity, and mass of the star around which it orbits. So it's basically determined that the center of the Milky Way is a supermassive black hole. >>>More
