The darkest corner of the internet, Mariana's Web

If you’ve been on the Internet for a long time, chances are that you’d be inclined to say you’ve seen it all. Well, let’s just say that you haven’t really seen it all until you’ve seen Marianas Web. Don’t get your keyboard and mouse ready just yet, though that might prove a bit more difficult than you think. This is because it doesn’t even exist.

… Or does it?

Chances are, like me, the first time you heard about the Dark Web, the God forsaken place it was described as a foul and depraved marketplace, where children, drugs, and pirated movies could be bought for mere Bitcoin. Tabloids paint it as a place where a veritable "Top 10" of our biggest fears resides. Opportunistic security companies sell threat intelligence services that allude to hunting for bad guys in dark dens that deal in organ harvesting, involuntary human experiments, and more.

 Like most people the idea of a place filled with spooky bullshit sounds compelling to me.

And the Dark Web's boogeyman aura is all about spooky bullshit. That's despite the fact that the Dark Web is host to a lot of communities that aren't doing anything nefarious (unless you think furries are evil or the guy that was selling carrots from one of my blogs; there's a huge Dark Web social network that simply wants privacy).

But the organ harvesting dramatics are nothing until we get to the "deepest part of the web, where people don't want you to go," the so-called "Mariana's Web."

The legend of Mariana's Web appears to get its name from the deepest part of the ocean, Mariana's Trench. It's supposedly the deepest part of the web, a forbidden place of mysterious evil or at least, that's the myth a subset of online believers has cultivated.

Depending on where you get your Mariana's Web myths, it's where you'll find "the darkest secrets humanity has in its history," the secret location of Atlantis and "the Vatican secret archives," or a database of archives belonging to the most powerful intelligence agencies on Earth. Many believe that Mariana's is home to an all-powerful, female artificial intelligence entity.

Mariana's Web is certainly the definition of spooky BS, especially because it's technically impossible; it's supposedly only accessible through quantum computers -- which currently only exist in science fiction.

The truth behind the internet mask

the Internet is like an onion, it has many layers. At first glance, conducting a basic Google search and seeing about 168,000,000 distinct results show up is pretty freaking overwhelming. Can you really imagine hundreds of millions of results for ONE keyword alone? In that regard, we suppose, the Internet has grown to be about as vast as the universe itself. Just like there are billions upon trillions of stars, there are billions upon trillions of web pages.

However, at the end of the day, the Internet is classified as finite. Because of this, there’s this infamous hierarchy known as “the levels of the Internet.” It very appropriately uses the comparison with an iceberg to point out how big it is.

Level 0: Common Web

The tip of the iceberg is the null level which we all know and love. If you can access it through a search engine, then you can say it’s a Level 0 website. If you’ve never ventured into dubious activities then chances are that you’ve spent your entire life on the tip of this iceberg. Proper examples include Facebook, YouTube, or Wikipedia.

Level 1: Surface Web

Starting with this level, we start diving underwater to take a peek at the massive chunk of ice hidden below. Although the websites from this level are still indexed by search engines, one may say that they’re slightly… darker. The best example we can give you is the infamous Reddit.

Level 2: Bergie Web

This is the last level which you can access normally and through Google indexing. It contains mostly “underground” websites which require a slightly more complicated algorithm. One notable example is 4chan.

Level 3: Deep Web

Also called the Dark Net, Invisible Web, or the Deep Net, the Deep Web can only be accessed through the use of proxies. This level mostly contains hacking websites, gore, virus information, celebrity scandals, or other things that really don’t belong to the surface of anything. There are certain things, however, which will require you to use Tor or another specially-designated browser that can slip under the radar of the law.

Level 4: Charter Web

As a whole, many consider the Charter Web to be part of the Deep Web. It’s understandable, seeing how they both have something in common: they’re illegal and disturbing. The true atrocities and horrors are on this level. Human trafficking, World War 2 experiments, assassination groups, banned movies or videos, etc.

And last but not least, we have the pit of the Internet…

Level 5: Marianas Web

Ever heard of polymeric falcighol derivation? If yes, ever heard of quantum computing then? Because these are the two things you need in order to access Marianas Web, the darkest and most mysterious place on the Internet. Quantum computing is a technology that supposedly exists in governments.

Because of this, many claim that Marianas Web is the space that deposits the deepest, darkest secrets of humankind. Nobody knows for sure what they are. But people have speculated that Marianas Web contains the answer to ancient conspiracies. Some believe that since it’s so difficult (to the point it’s impossible) to access it, it became the communication network for the Illuminati.

Myth or Reality?

Don’t take anything for granted on the Internet, including the Internet itself.

No one has proven that Marianas Web actually exists, but… no one has proven that it doesn’t exist either. If someone buys into conspiracy theories, they’ll believe in Marianas Web with no second thought. After all, who’s to say the government hasn’t been hiding these quantum computers from us all along?

The Horrors of the Deep Web

There is one thing we can say for sure, though: the Deep Web and everything up to Level 5 DO exist and they’re as horrific as someone could imagine. Many of the content someone can find that is either illegal, downright sick, or a combination of both which makes it worthy of a horror movie. So, consider this your friendly disclaimer. Temptation toward the unknown and the forbidden is a pretty humane thing, but there is a reason why the Deep Web is hidden. Anything someone could get thrown into jail for is over there, some things even worthy of double life sentences.

Don’t attempt to go to the Deep Web. Not only will the content likely scar you for life, but any small slip could result in detection and the FBI knocking on your door.

The Secrets of Marianas Web

What about Marianas Web, then? If all the things in the upper levels are so incredibly sickening, brutal, and disturbing, what kind of things could Marianas Web harbor to make it WORSE? Well, like we said, maybe it’s not necessarily this kind of content. Maybe you will find there the truth about aliens, about Atlantis, about your favorite conspiracies. Maybe the universal truth is there.

Nobody knows for sure, really. Everyone just knows that it’s deeply… evil.

It does sound appealing, doesn’t it? It’s a shame that it’s virtually impossible to access this level. Or maybe it’s just the perfect coincidence? As long as the rules for accessing this platform are so complex, it’s a guarantee that no one will be able to disprove its existence.

Conclusion

Is Marianas Web real or just another big hoax to make us sleepless during the lonely nights? It could be either of those. The good news is that quantum computing is a thing coming up at some point in the future. Once someone perfects this technology, you can be certain the first thing people will try is to check the genuineness of this alleged pit of dark secrets.

Until then, however… there is no way to say for sure Marianas Web doesn’t exist. There is no way to say that, right now, somewhere deep, deep behind your computer there isn’t a website which has all the answers in the world.
