The new question about 'The Mermaid' is true in history
Is the mermaid real? So far, researchers have been trying to find a solution about whether the Little Mermaid really existed as stories circulated around the world.
If anyone has ever read the fairy tale Andersen, he will know the touching story of the beautiful Little Mermaid. Many people believe that the Little Mermaid is merely a fictional and bogus character. However, there is quite a bit of evidence to prove that the Little Mermaid is real.
Recently, a new evidence was also published showing the existence of the Little Mermaid when two sailors diving in the Greenland Sea suddenly spotted a white hand placed on the submarine glass behind their backs.
The white hand shows the existence of the Mermaid is grounded.
Hand with 5 fingers, 4 fingers attached together like a duck's membrane. However, many people believe that the image of that hand is just a joke of someone but not convincing enough that the creature "half a half fish" is real.
Previously, in 2012, Animal Planet broadcasted a program that showed evidence that the Little Mermaid was real. This program appears as a complete documentary, with interviews with "scientist, expert" analyzing and evaluating the existence of this "half-fish and half-fish" creature .
The documentary was broadcast on Animal Planet in 2012.
However, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has officially spoken and posted a statement on its website denouncing inaccuracies in Animal Planet's program. And those "scientists" are actors who are paid on demand.
According to them, many rumors and many evidence in the past make fishermen become one of the greatest mysteries of the ocean. The belief in the creature "half a half fish" appeared right from the dawn of mankind, in the cave paintings of the late Stone Age about 30,000 years ago, when people began to sail conquer the sea.
The creature that has a half-human form (collectively called chimera ) also used to "storm the wind" in many myths and legends. And since 1403, the discovery of not many mummies of fish has made the world archaeologists extremely confused.
The mermaid appearances in history
The first legends of the Little Mermaid originated about 1,000 BC - the story of the Syrian goddess jumping into the lake to turn into a fish. However, the wonderful beauty of Syria could not turn completely into fish but only the lower half could change. Since then, many different cultures around the world have created stories about this strange creature.
Historically, even famous explorers also said they had seen the Little Mermaid. Among them must be Christopher Columbus, who said he saw the Little Mermaid near Haiti in 1493 and described " she is not as beautiful as the legend, although her face resembles humans ".
He also noted that several similar creatures were seen on the West African coast several times before.
According to the book " Speculum Mundi " published by the British Minister John Swan in 1635, mermaids seem to integrate into the life of " bare people " quite quickly. They like to wear nice clothes, like to play and play and listen to the ladies' talk, but they never say anything.
The story is getting more thrilling and more interesting when even the press is involved. In 1738, Britain's London daily published a shocking photo proving that the fish actually existed. It is a picture of a small-bodied mermaid, found at the coast of the Hebrides but she is stoned to death due to mistaking for a monster.
After that, she was carefully buried. People in the village also tried to protect this area of fish, anyone who expressed doubt, they were willing to swear to prove that it was a true story.
If you talk about the most famous fishman, perhaps the mermaid FeeJee, a writhing creature with a hideous face and a strange shape with a length of only 525 mm, height 210 mm and width 212 mm.
First released to the public in 1842 in New York, FeeJee was a miracle in the eyes of the witnesses.
Many people believe that the Little Mermaid is only a character due to the rich imagination of the embroidery man.
A gentleman claiming to be " Dr. Griffith " ensured this was " a 100% true fishman caught by a Japanese fisherman ".
From there, FeeJee mummy was modeled and became more popular than ever. For a long time, it was displayed at the Barnum Museum as the most solid proof that the Little Mermaid was real.
So far, a copy of the Fishman model FeeJee appears in many places, but the original was completely burned down in the fire that occurred at Barnum in the early 1860s.
Currently, the Peabody Museum of Archeology and Ethnology still maintains a version of FeeJee. FeeJee is a phenomenon that made scientists at the time headache because they could not explain the existence of this bizarre creature.
Mummy FeeJee
The image of FeeJee continues to be spread in the newspapers with claims like " The fishman returns ", " The fishman is no longer a legend " . But besides, many people still doubt about the Fishman's existence, so FeeJee mummy even attracted the attention of more researchers.
The truth about mummy fishman FeeJee
FeeJee is also known as " monkey fish " because this bizarre mummy has the upper body of the monkey, the lower half of the fish.
This mummy has 60% of human bone in the upper half and 40% of the lower half is fishbone, said Juanita Hollis, an expert at Cambridge University, England. It is this assertion that makes people have a basis to believe more in the existence of fishmen.
Model FeeJe.
People began to think that just as human beings evolved from ape of humans, fish people came from monkey fish.
Someone even suggested that FeeJee was the last ancestor of fishmen, they were extinct due to climate change and the change of the earth's surface.
In 2011, a team from St George's University came up with a conclusion that stunned the scientific community by claiming FeeJee was actually a hoax.
It is a sophisticated implant between monkey and fish tail. The research team used advanced technology to thoroughly investigate the structure of this monkey species. In March 2011, they took X-ray samples of monkey fish mummies at the Horniman Museum.
James Moffatt, a doctor of physiology at St George's School, gave a surprising result: " We have used modern technology such as CT scanners, X-ray machines, microscopes and 3D printers to proceed. As a result, monkey fish mummies are actually made from paper, leaves, iron wire, clay, pieces of fish bones and chicken feet .
FeeJee is also known as " monkey fish " because this bizarre mummy has the upper body of the monkey, the lower half of the fish.
Thus, FeeJee was initially created as a blessing for fishermen each time off the coast but did not expect it to become famous, making more people believe in the existence of fishmen.
From the above announcement, scientists continue to question the authenticity of previous stories. Are they real or not? But whether the Mermaid is real or not, it is still a beautiful image in many people's minds. People still hope to one day see a flesh-and-blood mermaid, not a mummy mummy.
