A cosmic ocean, primordial waters, or celestial river is a mythological motif that represents the world or cosmos enveloped by a vast primordial ocean. Found in many cultures and civilizations, the cosmic ocean exists before the creation of the Earth.

From the primordial waters the Earth and the entire cosmos arose. The cosmic ocean represents or embodies chaos. The concept of a watery chaos also underlies the widespread motif of the worldwide flood that took place in early times. The emergence of earth from water and the curbing of the global flood or underground waters are usually presented as a factor in cosmic ordering.

In creation myths, it is common for the primordial ocean to be separated into upper and lower bounds of water (i.e. cosmic bodies of water located above the sky or below the earth) by the creation of a solid structure known as a firmament. Some cosmologies depict the world plain as being surrounded by a circular ocean-river, such as Oceanus in Greek cosmology or Ranha in Zoroastrian cosmology.

The cosmic ocean is also present in the mythology of Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Greeks, Jews, Ancient Indians, Ancient Persians, Sumerians, and Zoroastrians. It plays a prominent role in ancient near eastern, biblical, and other cosmologies.

In creation myths, the primordial waters are often represented as having filled the entire universe and are the first source of the gods. The act of creation is the establishment of an inhabitable space separate from the enveloping waters. The cosmic ocean is the shape of the universe before creation.

The ocean is boundless, unordered, unorganized, amorphous, formless, dangerous, and terrible. In some myths, its cacophony is opposed to the ordered rhythm of the sea.

Chaos can be personified as water or by the unorganized interaction of water and fire. The transformation of chaos into order is also the transition from water to land.

In many ancient cosmogonic myths, the ocean and chaos are equivalent and inseparable. The ocean remains outside space even after the emergence of the land. At the same time, the ability of the ocean to generate is realized in the appearance of the Earth from it and in the presence of a mythological creature in the ocean that promotes generation or, on the contrary, zealously defends the "old order" and prevents the beginning of the chain of births from the ocean.

The secret of what lies below the oceans has always fascinated humanity. We are drawn to live near bodies of water - often the oceans.

We allegedly evolved from the sea and so we shall one day return - referring to physical evolution tied to biblical flood stories which reset the simulation of reality. Some of this is science while the rest is metaphoric often linked with mythology.

Lying beneath the oceans are allegedly sunken cities as well as UFOs called USOs and their bases.

This theory parallels creation myths about Amphibious Gods who allegedly came from the sky - went into the sea to create a biogenetic program that goes back to the beginning of the Human Experiment.

In the 21st century oceans are changing due to many factors that, by design, are creating massive climate changes affecting everything as all is connected.

Covering more than 71% of the planet, the Earth's oceans are a vast and mostly unexplored mystery. For most of recorded history man could only guess what lay beneath the ocean's surface, but new technologies are reaching new depths.

Archaeological research around the world has lead to the discovery of underwater complexes and sophisticated monuments that defy the conventional historical record - often lost civilizations that were once exposed on land then later submerged under the sea due to climatic changes millennia ago. They were lost to ice ages of the past that created great floods destroying everything in their wake - which appears to be the fate of our planet in the near future.

Current discoveries also include a new world of sea creatures and microorganisms, the latter of which could be harmful to other sea life and humans.

And so the never-ending story continues in the collective unconscious (sea, ocean, consciousness grids) until the end.
