Nearly everyone in the modern day is aware of the mystery surrounding Amelia Earhart, but decades later, the location of her plane crash may have finally been revealed.

Earhart last flew 88 years ago and is known as the famous female pilot who had as many adventures as Indiana Jones.

She had the ability to accomplish even more feats that would have been revolutionary in her day, and she was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic alone.

She and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were trying to make history by flying around the world at the time of her disappearance.

But since the pair’s tragedy, no one has been able to figure it out, though some specialists believe they know what happened.

What happened to Amelia Earhart?

Earhart, who became the 16th woman to obtain an aviation licence after being enamoured with flying as a young adult after a daring stuntman at a fair took her on a 2,000-foot trip, was nothing short of an outspoken gender norm breaker in her day.

She began her career as a nurse’s assistant in a Canadian military hospital during World War I and later became a social worker in 1925, but she had no idea that she would go on to become a famous pilot who would be remembered for almost a century after her death.

Since her disappearance, numerous ideas have been developed regarding Earhart’s terrible demise, but none have been proven to be true.

We are aware of what was most likely to have happened.

Earhart planned a 46,670 km (29,000-mile) journey from California over Central and South America, Africa, Australia, and the Pacific Ocean. She set out on her adventure on June 1, 1937, in her Lockheed 10-E Electra plane.

However, six weeks into her journey, she and Noonan attempted the 20-hour fly from New Guinea to Howland Island.

The US Coast Guard was helping them find the island in the Pacific Ocean, but they were unable to see it and vanished from sight.

Many people think that Noonan’s calculations failed to take into consideration crossing the International Date Line, and that in order to effectively use his celestial navigation system, you would need to know the precise date and time.

He would have guided them about 400 miles from their objective, when Earhart made frantic radio appeals for assistance, 70 miles off the coast of Gardner Island, if the idea is accurate.

Unfortunately, the enormous crabs in this area are well-known.

Amelia Earhart’s plane ‘discovered’

Based on the evidence of her accident, researchers stated on July 2 that a new expedition had been begun to locate Amelia Earhart’s plane.

Nearly 1,000 miles from Fiji, on the island of Nikumaroro in Kiribati, a satellite image appeared to show the exact shape of Amelia Earhart’s plane peeping through the beach.

After the 2015 photo revealed the aftermath of a powerful tropical cyclone that had moved the sand, Purdue University, which provided funding for Earhart’s tragic voyage, announced that it will now send a crew to Nikumaroro in November.

“We believe we owe it to Amelia and her legacy at Purdue to fulfill her wishes, if possible, to bring the Electra back to Purdue,” Steve Schultz, Purdue’s general counsel, told NBC News.

According to Richard Pettigrew, executive director of the Archaeological Legacy Institute in Oregon, the object’s dimensions and composition are identical to those of Amelia Earhart’s aircraft, and it appears to have originated from the same spot on her intended flight path as well as four of her radio requests for assistance.

The discovery of American-made equipment and a medicine vial, according to the archaeologist, raises the possibility that Amelia Earhart visited the island.

Pettigrew told the Daily Mail, “What we have here is maybe the greatest opportunity ever to finally close the case.”

“With such a great amount of very strong evidence, we feel we have no choice but to move forward and hopefully return with proof.”

According to National Geographic, a group of archaeologists from the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) and four forensic dogs trained to find human remains visited the island in 2017.

However, Ric Gillespie, executive director of TIGHAR, thinks the picture just depicts a coconut tree and root ball that have been washed up.

Was Amelia Earhart eaten by crabs?

There are several hypotheses regarding her being eaten by coconut crabs, but you’re undoubtedly asking where in the world somebody came up with that theory.

According to a theory published by National Geographic, Earhart remained alone on the island for weeks after the tragic crash, the Electra floated away, and Noonan perished.

She wasn’t alone, though. because the native, three-foot-long coconut crabs kept her company and, once she died, ate her.

British residents think the 13 bones and head they discovered on the island in 1940 might have belonged to Amelia Earhart.

Nevertheless, despite the disagreements of certain anthropologists, specialists analysed the bones and found that they were male.

According to the National Geographic story, “coconut crabs had scattered many bones.” This is what happened to the remaining bones.

It is possible that the 1940 skull parts that National Geographic archaeologist Fredrik Hiebert and his team found at Tarawa, Kiribati’s Te Umwanibong Museum and Cultural Centre belonged to an adult lady.

This might be Earhart.
