@mermaidaqualina: 🫧🔱 I’ve always been fascinated by the ancient world…What knowledge did our ancestors possess? What secrets have been lost in the sands of time? 🗝️ 🌊 The ocean was formed 4 billion years ago and it’s impossible to imagine the sheer amount of life that has existed below the surface of these waters since it’s beginning. 🦈 Even til today, we share the ocean with living fossils like the chambered nautilus (500 mil yrs old), horseshoe crab (445 mil yers old), and the goblin shark (125 mil yrs old). 👀 ….And how many ancient cultures have been swallowed by the sea throughout history? 🏛️ The world is enchanted by the story of Atlantis - but there are probably thousands of island civilizations that have fallen into the depths of an everlasting blue. Their history lost, and their relics buried in the briny deep. 🔑🫧 🎥: @odysseaphotography 🧜🏻♀️: Tail by @iambraveeer #mermaid #mermaidtail #siren #ancient #atlantis #underwater #underwaterphotography #freediving
