How the ocean preserved myths long after land forgot them

Beneath the restless waves lies a hidden library where ancient stories survived while empires fell and continents changed. The ocean became a silent guardian, protecting myths that disappeared from the land above. Isolated islands passed down creation tales unchanged for generations, while bustling trade routes became highways for legendary sea monsters and forgotten gods. Sunken shipwrecks and lost cities preserved mythic artifacts and written treasures, giving us rare glimpses into vanished worlds. For centuries, sailors and fishermen carried these stories as living wisdom, and coastal rituals held onto ancient beliefs even as inland traditions faded away. Today, new discoveries and technology are restoring these ocean-kept myths, giving us a chance to reconnect with memories once thought lost forever. Each tale rescued from the deep reveals not just history, but a new way to see ourselves and our place in the world.

What do you think we can learn from these myths the ocean refused to let fade away?
