Are there any mermaids in the world?

The black-scaled mermaid is the legendary "mermaid". Many people around the world have discovered the bones of the mermaid. The U.S. Navy once captured a living one. It is said that the ointment of the mermaid in the sea , not only has a very low ignition point, but also only one drop can burn for several months. In ancient times, the oil was often used as a ten thousand year lamp in the tombs of nobles. The sharks in the East China Sea are the most obscene and bloodthirsty, and they all live in a group in the sea. Under the island formed by dead coral, there are coral caves under the island. The caves are crisscrossed and unfathomable. There is the nest of the mermaids. They make noises in the nearby waters, attracting passing ships and merchants. The victims are all eaten until no bones are left. , someone caught a living black-scaled shark, slaughtered it, dried it, poured its ointment into it, and made it into an immortal candle, worth three thousand gold beads.

Pliny the Elder was a natural scientist who described the "mermaid" creature. In his immortal work "Natural History" he wrote: "As for the mermaid, also called Nielid, this is not It's unbelievable... They are real, but their bodies are rough and covered with scales, and even the parts that look like women have scales. "There are many examples of people who say they have seen mermaids, and media reports on mermaids are even more common. . In the mid-18th century, London, England once held an exhibition of mermaid specimens that caused a sensation in the British Isles. Subsequently, the same exhibition was held in New York, USA, which also caused a sensation in the United States. One of the most famous specimens is called the "Figi Mermaid". Afterwards, relevant scientists examined and found that this so-called mermaid specimen was a combination of monkey and fish. Therefore, many people doubt whether mermaids exist. Norwegian biologist Eric Pontoppidan said in "Natural History of Norway": "They gave mermaids beautiful voices and told people that they were outstanding singers. Obviously, anyone with a little bit of brain would never understand this strange story. "We are interested in strange theories and even doubt the possibility of the existence of such creatures." Ellick's views represent the views of most people in the biological world. However, Eric's view may not be correct. Not long ago, Dr. Vigrad of the Russian Academy of Sciences revealed a surprising secret. In 1962, a Soviet cargo ship mysteriously sank off the coast of Cuba. Since there were nuclear missiles on board, the Soviet Union sent a detection ship carrying scientists and military experts (including Dr. Winograd) to search the sunken ship in an attempt to recover the nuclear missiles. The exploration ship came to the shipwreck area and used underwater cameras to scan the seafloor. Suddenly, a strange monster bursts into the scene: it looks like a fish or a child swimming under the water. It has gills on its head and is covered in dense scales. When it swam towards the camera, it looked at the camera with its small black naughty eyes, looking very curious. On the exploration ship, the scientists and military experts gathered in front of the fluorescent screen were all stunned. In order to capture this monster, they sunk an experimental tank used to capture underwater creatures on the seabed within the camera's field of view. Not long after, the monster appeared again. When it got into the tank to grab the fish food, the staff on the ship quickly hoisted the tank onto the ship. When the door of the tank was opened, I heard a scream like a seal, and then I saw a small green hand stretching out from the tank. When all the monsters were pulled out of the tank, people saw more clearly that it was a 0.6-meter-long mermaid baby, with its whole body covered in scales and a bone crown on its head. Its eyes stared at the people around it in fear. Some people present said this was a "man from the bottom of the sea", but more people thought this was the mermaid that people have been looking for. Mermaids have been a hot topic since ancient times. As early as more than 2,300 years ago, the Babylonian historian Barossos recorded about mermaids in his book "Ancient History". In the 17th century, "Hutson's Voyage Diary" was published in London, England, in which it was written: The mermaid's back and chest exposed on the sea looked like a woman. Its body is about the size of an average person, its skin is very white, and its back is covered with long black hair. When it dived, people also saw its tail, which was similar to that of a dolphin, with many spots like mackerel on the tail. There are also records about mermaids in our country’s history books. The book "Ancestor Yi Ji" of the Song Dynasty gave a detailed description of the shape of the mermaid: During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, a man named Cha Dao went to Korea (today's North Korea) as an envoy and saw a "woman" appearing on the sea. She is wearing a red dress, her hair is in a messy bun, and her cheeks are slightly exposed with a red mane. She is holding her hand in the water, bowing to her hands and falling in love. She is a mermaid." There are similar records in "Ji Shen Lu" written by Xu Xuan, a scholar of the Song Dynasty. In order to explore the research topic of whether mermaids exist, marine biologists, zoologists and anthropologists have done a lot of research work and put forward many hypotheses in recent decades. Dr. Lyle Wagner, an anthropologist at the University of Vasinia in Norway, believes that mermaids do exist. “Whether it is historical records or modern witnesses, mermaids have the same characteristics, that is, their heads and upper bodies are like human beings. , and the lower body has a tail like a dolphin. "In addition, according to New Guinea people, the most similar thing between mermaids and humans is that they also have a lot of hair, their skin is very tender, and their female breasts are the same as those of human women. Breastfeeding the little mermaid. British marine biologist and member of the British Academy of Sciences, Dr. Alistine Att, believes that "mermaids may be another variant of great apes. Babies live in amniotic fluid before birth and can swim in the water as soon as they are born. Therefore, The existence of an ape-like animal that can survive in water is not a very strange thing.

"Some scholars in the United States also agree with this statement, believing that this is a type of "undersea man" that has not yet been reported. Some biologists in my country believe that the legendary mermaid may be a species called "dugong" (commonly known as manatee). Marine mammals. In the early 1970s, "mermaids" were discovered many times in the South my country Sea. In some places, photos were even displayed at exhibitions. They were considered to be the first discovery in my country and had great scientific value. In 1975, Relevant scientific research units captured the rare "dugong" with the help of fishermen. Because it still uses its lungs to breathe, it has to surface for air every ten minutes. It has sparse long hair on its back. Eyewitnesses thought it was because of the hair. Dugongs give birth to young and nurse them with milk. When breastfeeding, they hug the young with their forelimbs. The mother's head and chest are above the water to prevent the young from choking when sucking. This is probably what people see as mermaids holding their babies. But so far, many scientists believe that mermaids are just people’s hallucinations.

One mermaid fossil found in the Black Sea was reported in Wenhui Po in April 1990. A report: Some scientists are trying to find the origin of the most amazing discovery in archeology today, the mummified remains of a 3,000-year-old mermaid. A team of construction workers placed treasures near the Black Sea outside Sochi. This unbelievable creature was found in the tomb. News of this discovery was recently revealed to the West by Soviet archaeologist Dr. Yeremiah. She looks like a beautiful dark-skinned princess with a stripe underneath. Fish tail. This amazing creature measured 173 centimeters from the top of its head to its scaly tail. Scientists believe she was over 100 years old when she died. 12,000-year-old mermaid fossil found on coast On July 2, 1991, Singapore's United Daily News published a report titled "12,000-year-old mermaid fossil found on the coast of Yugoslavia": Scientists recently unearthed the world's first complete mermaid fossil , confirming that this animal, which has only appeared in fairy tales, did exist in the real world. The fossil was found on the coast of Yugoslavia. The fossil is well preserved and it can be clearly seen that this animal has sharp teeth. It has powerful jaws capable of tearing apart flesh and bones and killing its prey. “This animal is female. Appeared on the nearby coast about 12,000 years ago. " said Dr. Bailie Oganyi. Dr. Oganyi is an archaeologist from California, USA, and has been working in the sea area where the mermaid appeared for 4 years. Dr. Oganyi said: "It was discovered during an underwater landslide. Buried alive, protected by the surrounding limestone, it slowly fossilized. Fossils show that the mermaid is 160 centimeters tall and looks like a human from the waist up. It has a well-developed head, a fairly large brain, claws on its hands, and eyes like other fish, without blinders.

In August 1991, two fishermen in the United States discovered the mermaid incident. The report is as follows: Two professional shark fishermen in the United States recently caught 11 sharks in the Caribbean Sea. One of the tiger sharks was 18.3 meters long. When the fishermen dissected the tiger shark, they found an unusually strange skeleton in its stomach. The upper third of the skeleton resembled an adult's skeleton, but from the pelvis It started with the skeleton of a big fish. At that time, the fishermen turned it over to the police, who immediately notified the coroner for examination. The examination results confirmed that it was a half-human, half-fish creature. For this strange skeleton, the police asked experts to further study and input the data into the computer to draw a mermaid shape based on the shape of the bones. Dr. Emasto from the United States who participated in this work said that from the evidence they have, mermaids are not legendary or fictitious creatures, but a creature that does exist in the world.

Kuwait's "Torch" reported on August 24, 1980: Recently, a miracle of the biological park - a mermaid - was discovered on the coast of the Red Sea. The mermaid's upper body is like a fish, and the lower body is like a woman's body - like a human being, it has two legs and ten toes. Sadly, it was already dead when it was found.

There are also discoveries about living mermaids. In 1962, there was an incident where scientists captured a little mermaid alive. The British "Sun", China's Harbin "New Evening News" and many other newspapers reported on the matter. Dr. Vinograd from the Lenin Academy of Sciences of the former Soviet Union recounted the story: In 1962, a probe ship carrying scientists and military experts captured a child off the coast of Cuba who could speak human language. He had scaly skin, gills, and a head. Like a human, tail like a fish. The little mermaid claimed that she was from the city of Atlantis, and also told researchers that millions of years ago, the continent of Atlantis spanned Africa and South America, and later sank to the bottom of the sea... The people who have survived now live on the bottom of the sea, and their lifespans are Up to 300 years old. Later, the little mermaid was sent to a secret research institution in the Black Sea for scientists to study in depth.

Since the existence of strange underwater creatures such as "mermaids" has physical evidence, it is also known by people's so-called "absurdity", "superstition", " "Myth" has become a serious scientific research topic at present.
