underwater civilization

Underwater civilization refers to hypothetical or fictional societies that thrive beneath the ocean's surface. In literature and film, they often feature advanced technologies, unique cultures, and interactions with marine life. Examples include the lost city of Atlantis and the underwater city of Rapture from the "BioShock" video game. Although there is currently no verified underwater civilization, ongoing explorations of the ocean floor could reveal ancient shipwrecks and ruins, sparking interest in the idea that past human societies may have existed in submerged environments due to rising sea levels or other geological events.
