Cea mai scumpă insulă din istorie nu există în realitate. Valorează 22.000.000.000 $. De ce apare pe hărți? • Newsweek România

The mythical Isla Bermeja, valued at $22 billion, has been depicted on maps since the 16th century but has never been found. Despite numerous expeditions, including modern technology, no evidence of its existence has been discovered. The island's supposed location in the Gulf of Mexico is crucial for Mexico's maritime boundaries and potential oil reserves. The belief in its existence has persisted due to historical cartographic practices and political motivations, especially during negotiations with the U.S. over economic zones. Mexico's insistence on the island's existence is tied to its economic interests in the region.
