It is a regular in mythological stories, it has a fascinating beauty, he is a unique presence in the marine world, who is it? And why are they frequently witnessed? Next walk into today's theme Whether mermaids really exist. ---- primer
Hello everyone, I'm eleven. The earth has been formed for 5 billion years so far, and human beings are only 3 million years old, and there are already many prehistoric creatures before the emergence of human beings, who are unified on land or dominate at a special stage like humans now. Eleven often wonders if some of these prehistoric overlords are still not completely extinct, and they are quietly hiding in some corner of the world. In fact, it's not just Eleven who is thinking about this, but our scientists are also thinking about it, because there are many creatures on Earth that we can't explain.
Surprise the mermaid
When it comes to mermaids, everyone must be familiar with them, whether it is film and television dramas or Chinese and Western mythological stories, it is definitely a regular visitor, and in today's terms, it is definitely a symbol of beauty, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, there is such a storyline, pirates see the beautiful mermaid, and the eyeballs are eager to fall out. For example, in the classical Chinese mythological story "Search for God", it is recorded that "there are fish people outside the South China Sea, who live in the water like fish, do not waste weaving achievements, and their eyes can produce beads." The Chinese mermaid seems to have one more special function than the Western mermaid, that is, it will turn into pearls when it cries tears. Whether this is the case or not, so far, no one knows. But the descriptions of other aspects of the mermaid in Chinese and foreign mythological stories are almost identical. The first point is that they live in the water, and the second point is that their upper body is a human being and the lower body is a fish.
Everyone should know that people on all continents in the world know that there are other continents a long time later, so the image of the mermaid is so similar, will there really be a mermaid creature in the world, after being witnessed by humans, human beings mythologize it? Now researchers in the field tell us that this kind of thing is very likely to exist. Because mermaids have really been witnessed more than once. Eleven consulted the relevant information and found that the world's mermaid records should be calculated in tens of thousands. Eleven briefly introduces a few more reliable stories for everyone. In 1958, when American oceanographers conducted species investigations on the seabed, they photographed suspected human footprints on the seabed.
In 1962, britain's "Sun" reported such an article, scientists have caught a small fishman alive, China's new evening newspaper also reported on the matter, the former Soviet Union scientists also told the outside world about similar things: a Cuban ship fished for overseas fishing a marine creature that can speak human words, it seems to be a small fish child, the skin is scaly, the head is like a human, the lower limbs are the tail of the fish. After some questioning, the little fishman told the scientist that they were from Atlantis, and that's not all, and he told the scientist how Atlantis was formed. Later, the little fishman was sent to the Research Institute in the Black Sea, and has not been seen since.
In 1968, American photographers photographed a monkey-like monster at the bottom of the sea, with a neck much longer than a human and webbing on its feet. In 1980, the Kuwait Torch newspaper also published an article about mermaids. They found that the upper body was a creature of a fish with a lower body like a woman when it was dead. We should pay attention here that the mermaid reported by Kuwait is not the same as the mermaid we recognize, and the mermaids in our cognition are fishtails, but this one is different, just the other way around. So does the mermaid have two forms of this creature? This may also be possible. In 1990, archaeologists made an important discovery in a burial chamber on the Black Coast, and they found a mermaid mummy that was at least 3,000 years old.
The mummy was 1.75 meters tall, had a tail, and its tail was covered with scales, and according to the scientists present at the time, it must have been more than 100 years old at the time of its death. Nearly 12,000-year-old mermaid fossils were excavated in Yugoslavia in 1991. Fossils show that the mermaid should be about 160 cm tall, above the waist is a human, the head is very developed, below the waist of the fish, the hands are favorable claws. Also in 1991, American fishermen found a strange skeleton in the shark's belly that was a fish with the upper body of a human and the lower body, which the locals said was a mermaid.
In mid-2013, people witnessed mermaids basking in the sun in a small town in Israel. When people approached to find out, the mermaid jumped into the water. Everyone present clearly saw that it had a long tail. After that, the British crew took videos and photos of the mermaid, and the creature could be clearly seen screaming quite fiercely, constantly tearing the rope, and finally the crew was so frightened that they had to put it back into the sea. Is it possible to prove that mermaids really exist?
Discover the mermaid.
Earlier we said a lot about mermaid sightings, and some even have videos as evidence, so does it prove that mermaids really exist? This is really difficult to say, the scientific community has not yet reached a conclusion, but some scientists claim that there is evidence, but the evidence can not stand up to scrutiny. Through the eyewitness records of nearly a century, we can see that mermaids must live in the water, with webbing on their hands and eyes shining. These traits also seem to be more adapted to the theory of biological evolution. The webbed mermaids on their hands facilitate the movement of mermaids in the water, and the eyes are illuminated because the light under the water is weak, which determines that they may live in the deep sea. They have a pronounced sagittal ridge on their heads, much like mammals on land, and having a fish tail allows them to swim quickly underwater. So does this prove that mermaids really exist? Now the scientific community has roughly the following statements.
The first theory is that mermaids really existed, and like humans, ancient apes evolved only to come to life in the water due to some irresistible factor, and gradually evolved into the appearance of humans in the sea. In order to prove the correctness of this statement, relevant scholars have also come up with a history of human evolution from 4 million to 8 million years ago. It was found that during this time, human evolution was basically a blank stage, when the African continent was still a vast ocean, only a small part of the land, so they speculated that during this time, the ancient apes were likely to have to go to the sea to hunt, and finally became animals that could live in the sea and on land. Later, the land area gradually expanded, and some ancient apes went to land and gradually evolved into humans.
This is also one of the reasons why humans now have the more obvious characteristics of marine life. But there must be some ancient apes that did not come ashore, and it is likely that they evolved into mermaids. It may seem impeccable, but it doesn't seem to be, because if you want to live in the sea, you must have a gills, but in just a few million years you can't evolve your cheeks. Whales, for example, are now widely believed to have evolved from ungulates, but it took nearly 46 million years for whales to evolve their underwater respiratory system. But even so, whales have to come to the surface of the water from time to time to breathe air. Therefore, the idea of the evolution of mermaids by ancient apes has naturally been questioned.
Then there is the next theory, that mermaids may be alien species, came to Earth in ancient times, and these aliens have modified the human beings on the earth, some remain on land, some remain in the water, and these humans who stay in the water intermarry with this part of the aliens, and breed in the ocean for generations. Whether aliens really exist so far is debatable, let alone the creation of mermaids by aliens. There is also a theory that the mermaid really exists only because he is a creature called dugong, and the mermaid that people see is also the scene of this creature floating out to feed the cubs. But is that the case? No one can say with certainty that he is a mermaid.
At this stage, many countries in Europe claim to have found mermaids in the deep sea, and they have enough evidence to prove that this new species is a mermaid, and it has the potential to subvert human understanding of evolutionary history. However, there is only one such news, and the so-called relevant evidence has not been released for a long time. The world is so big that maybe the mermaid really exists in which corner we don't know, quietly watching the development of human beings, occasionally coming out and wandering around, living in the sea, eleven think that if you really have the evidence of the real existence of the mermaid, you can subvert the current stage of human cognition of evolution, and make up for a gap in human beings for unknown creatures.
