Location: Remote Atlantic Shore | Estimated Age: 8,000–10,000 years

In the shadow of jagged cliffs, under a brooding sky, a team of archaeologists kneels in reverent silence. Before them lies a skeleton that defies all classification: a mᴀssive humanoid ribcage, elongated limbs fused to finned appendages, and a skull hauntingly human—yet unnervingly disproportionate in size. Its tail flares into the sand like a siren’s final gesture.

Tools are scattered around the site, but no clear answers emerge. The vertebrae are whale-like in scale, the arms built for dexterity, not swimming. Yet the pelvis? Missing. Disarticulated. As though something—or someone—once removed the evidence of reproduction.

Some say it’s a hoax, a myth carved into bone. But others whisper of aquatic hominids, of deep-ocean sentience erased from textbooks. Is this the fossilized proof of ancient legends long dismissed? Or a riddle left by the past to test our arrogance?

What if the sea has always kept her secrets—not out of malice, but to protect us from the truth?
