Since ancient times, people from different regions of the world have been talking about different types of magical waterbodies, with the water inside having a variety of miraculous properties. Like in India it is believed that taking a dip in Ganga and Mansarovar purifies our body and destroys all our sins. Similarly, in European folklore, there are tales of some such magical waterbodies whose water purifies one's physical body, eliminates diseases, and even restores youth. A similar magical fountain is said to be located in the Bimini, the westernmost part of the Bahamas. Keep drinking the water of this fountain, a person can remain young forever.

But these people had always faced the fear of getting old and the end of life, which is a natural thing. Therefore, such people have always searched for ways to stop aging or restore youth since ancient times. However, some even found great success in this search, which led to the birth of these legends and folk tales. This mystical quest was joined by Alexander the Great in the 3rd century AD, Herodotus in the 5th century BC, Prester John in the 11th/12th centuries AD, and the people of the Caribbean in the early 16th century.
But this legend became particularly prominent in the 16th century, as the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon began to discover the Fountain of Youth during that time. Ponce de Leon was the first Governor of Puerto Rico and was considered quite intelligent. Juan first reached Florida in this search and started finding the fountain with the help of secret manuscripts he had. But the native Americans gave him the secret information that the Fountain of Youth does not exist in Florida but in Bimini.
These people had been listening to the tales of the Fountain of Youth from their ancestors. Native Americans said that their ancestors kept this fountain hidden from the world, as they used the water from this fountain to cure diseases and live forever young. Soon Juan found a water body in Bimini that had been in the same condition since ancient times, with a high amount of sulfur and essential minerals in its water. But it was not possible to cure diseases or become immortal with this water. So Juan realized it wasn't the original Fountain of Youth.
In fact, in ancient times some areas of Bimini were occupied by the Mayans. Maya civilization was a supernatural civilization like the Atlanteans, who had access to a real fountain of youth. It is quite possible that the fountain is hidden somewhere near Bimini, away from the eyes of the world, which was once used by the Mayans. Or it is even possible that the Fountain of Youth is only for such people or civilizations which are quite advanced and pure.
