Anyone who has studied about the Greek culture or has read 'the heroes of Olympus' probably knows about the pillars of Hercules. In the myths it was said that Hercules, who was called the strongest hero, pulled the land masses together to stop the giant monsters from entering the Mare Nostrum or as it is called now, the Mediterranean Sea. Those pillars still stand tall to date. They are located in the strait of Gibraltar the two mountains are the split mountain of Gibraltar and the other is Mount Hacho. Most people shrug it off thinking it's not important but the pillars are the reason Greece never collapsed even after the fall of Rome the Atlantic ocean had many mysteries and secrets and no greek voyage was ever able to sail through and return. There was a reason behind it. The Atlantic has always been filled with monsters because of their huge size and the depth of the ocean floor it has always been impossible to track them. One good example of this is the Bermuda triangle. There had also been hints of this in other civilizations. The Vikings never sailed south to the Antarctic and the Mayan people never sailed east the same for many other American civilizations. But over time the sizes of the human vessels increased and became stronger it became difficult for monsters to hunt so they either moved like the legend of the Loch-Ness monster and many went dormant. The Hints of the sea monsters have even been given in other mythologies too. Like the Giant sea serpent Kaliya which was exiled by lord Krishna to the west.
No matter how much time passes the sea will remain a danger for Humans. Though there still remains The Ragnarok. In the legends of the Norse Mythology it is shown that a large Army of monsters rises from the sea and so does the world serpent.
Most people will brush this of as lies and made up stories but if these were myths then why are there connections on points. Our Ansestors knew many things and these stories have always been important to warn us. With the advancement of science these myths have been said is impossible because no facts remain but the clock of the Universe Ticks on and on. Soon the incident will happen which will change the way we see the world and we will be unprepared. You may pass on my words as another story but remember one thing. Our world may be safe but Many other are being destroyed because we are losing our fantasy, our imagination. While one word flourishes the others fades in Darkness and when the darkness shall part then all we know shall disappear and only one thing will save us and that is out fantasy.
