The mummified corpses of 'mermaids'

The dead bodies of the mermaid

As one of the most beloved characters in the fairy tales of the famous Danish writer-Andersen, the mermaid has entered the subconscious countless generations by the clear voice and a holy soul. It seems that this is just a character in a fairy tale, but the recent fossil-fossil-like discoveries pose a question: Is the mermaid real?

While Greek legends praising mermaids are those half-fishes and half-fishes with great beauty and enchanting vocals, in fact, they recorded the opposite condition: small creatures, humorous figures. snobbish and never spoke.

For the first time the fishman came out of the fabled legend to be in front of the naked eye in 1403. The rush of flooding caused her to be stranded on the Eton Coast, Netherlands, then found by a group of fishermen. see. According to the book 'Speculum Mundi ' published in 1635 by the British Minister, John Swan, about this event, the beauty of the mermaid appears to soon integrate into the 'earthly' life, likes to wear beautiful clothes, likes to walk Play, listen to the ladies confide, but never will she ever talk half a word.

In 1738, the London daily published a shocking photo: a tiny mermaid discovered on the Hebrides coast, stoned to death because it was mistaken for a monster. Then the ill-fated mermaid was carefully buried, and if anyone had any doubts, any elderly or young person in the village was willing to swear to prove that the story was 100% true.

In 2006, residents of the East Sea of ​​Russia have discovered a dead body of . mermaid! The myth of the blonde fairy with a crystal-like voice is finally revealed.

The fishermen were really surprised when they saw a dead body like a dead fish, drifting to the beach. Scientists were immediately invited to examine. Now Russia's strange ocean creature organization still does not have the correct answer to this mermaid.

Recently, American zoologist Carles Banze published the essay " Biological basis of the fish" in the journal Limnology & Oceanology, a very prestigious scientific journal of the United States. The article has the paragraph: " The fish, the mermaids, the sea monsters in the form . please call them fishmen - in the legends and in the accounts of witnesses or images painted by the ancients. We see that fish people generally have two eyes looking at the same direction as people without having to look at two opposite directions like fish.

The hand of a fisher has a thumb pointing like a person, convenient for handling labor tools. The descriptions all show that the fish have a rather big head compared to the general body, indicating that the brain is quite developed. The lower part of the fish is mostly in the shape of a rowing paddle swimming at the end of the tail similar to the whale tail. The scales on the body are actually thick, horny skin that looks like a fishy scales . " .

Explaining that today the fish are no longer present in nature, Banze seems a bit extreme when he thinks that the cause is due to the development of the modern world polluting the ecological environment and the fishing. Incomparably seafood has made fish become extinct.
