In 1835, England, James Newlove was digging a pond when he stumbled upon Margate Shell Grotto, the 104-foot long underground passage . This chamber is filled with 4.6 million shells arranged in pattern of mysterious symbols. To this day the origin of place remains mystery.

The Symbolic Seashell
Collecting seashells is as old as humanity. What we do with them can reveal who we are, where we’re from, and what we believe.

"The shell or clam shell has symbolic value in many cultures, from India (Vishnu carries a shell) to the moon god in Aztec culture. Its main reference is to vulva and matrix as life receiving and giving organs."
