BEST OF TST: Occulta Maria: From Agartha to Cthulhu (7/11/24)
Since the end of the last Ice Age, sea levels have risen around 400 feet, submerging about 5% of previously above water land. At least some of this coastal area was inhabited by humans before waters began rising, resulting in a slow motion deluge - in some cases more rapid flooding - of those areas, which left artifacts, structures, and history drowning at various depths. About 71% of our planet is covered in water and we have only explored and mapped between 5-10% of those oceans (Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Southern). Even larger bodies of water in general have yet to be fully mapped or understood, not to mention Lake Titicaca and the Great Lakes of North America. Upon expanding our periscope we find deserts like the Sahara and jungles like the Amazon that are just as uncharted. Archeology is expensive and political enough, but underwater archeology is something else entirely. It’s estimated that our oceans hold 97-98% of our planet’s water, but for everything we don’t know about them, if you go down far enough into the earth you’ll find even more water. In April 2024, scientists announced seismographic reports about an incomprehensible body of water 430 miles beneath the earth’s surface, i.e., a vast under-the-surface ocean beneath our already unexplored oceans and land. This discovery lends creditably to the hollow earth theory that includes the mythical and mystical land of Agartha. Perhaps these esoteric-myths were based on something very real. The Kraken is a mythological creature, but is based on the giant squid, and perhaps other more monstrous versions of it or other underwater gods. The sea gods Neptune and Poseidon are personifications of the ocean itself, and its powers, their tridents controlling the turbulent waters and tempests which can be associated with our own fluid em-oceans (emotions). Stories and movies like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Deep Star Six, the Abyss, Sphere, and Underwater, all speak of these myths and the ocean’s mysteries. And now we're finding that life can exist and thrive in any condition, even at Lake Vostok under 2.4 miles of sealed ice with no sunlight, or in the pressurized, dark, freezing depths of our oceans. What does this tell us about other planets or our own largely unexplored world? What demons, monsters, aliens lurk beyond in the abyss? While we search for answers, much of that information is gathered through cables that span the ocean floors. In fact, about 95% of global communications are transmitted via underwater cables, not satellites. Then there is H.P. Lovecraft and his story of the Great Old One named Cthulhu, who slumbers in the southern seas. In April 2024, an 80 foot tall series of waves spanning 2,000 miles wide moved through the ocean off the coast of Africa for a full day before vanishing.
