In the fathomless abyss of the Mariana Trench, more than 10 kilometres deep, a team of underwater researchers made a discovery that shook the world.
There, in the darkness of the deep ocean, they found creatures similar to cockroaches, but with an extraordinary difference: they did not require oxygen to survive.
These creatures, dubbed ‘anialiens’, were quickly labelled as possible extraterrestrial life forms, survivors of some ancient catastrophe that had driven them to seek refuge in the deep sea.
Scientists were astonished by the ability of these organisms to adapt to extreme conditions, making them one of the most important biological discoveries in history.
Speculation about their origin and nature multiplied, opening a new chapter in the exploration of the mystery of life in the universe.
