The Loch Ness Monster, a mysterious creature that lives underwater, has been debated for centuries about its existence. Its figure continued to appear and then quickly fell silent, and no one could completely deny or affirm its existence. Whether it is a reservation of prehistoric creatures or a prank by the do-gooders is impossible to determine.
The earliest record of the Loch Ness Monster is in 565 AD, when several Irish were swimming in Loch Ness when suddenly there was a strong fluctuation in the water, and then a behemoth rose rapidly from the water and pounced on the swimmer. Fortunately, someone came to the rescue, otherwise those few swimmers would have become the food in the belly of the monster. After that, the news of the monster in Loch Ness spread rapidly, and later many people claimed to have seen the monster in Loch Ness, and people's descriptions of the shape of the monster became more and more exaggerated, and finally even people themselves did not believe it.
Over a long period of time, people gradually forgot about the possible water monsters in Loch Ness. It was not until 1934 that it was claimed that he had inadvertently taken a strange picture of Loch Ness showing a strange creature in the lake, with a long neck and a flattened head, which was very similar to the legendary Loch Ness Monster, which evoked the dusty memory of the Loch Ness Monster.
People in the 20th century had some scientific knowledge, and people deduced from this picture that one of the most striking conjectures was the "plesiosaur hypothesis". Plesiosaur was an ancient reptile with an oval body, a long neck, a thick tail, and a fish-based diet, known as the "Overlord of the Sea". It is widely believed that plesiosaurs became extinct as early as 70 million years ago, and if Loch Ness had discovered plesiosaurs, it would have become a milestone in the field of prehistoric biology.
In the 1970s, scientists began to devote a lot of equipment and energy to investigating and monitoring the Loch Ness Monster. American scientists have photographed a huge creature with diamond-shaped flippers with underwater cameras. A few years later, another expedition took similar photos. The results of these two scientific investigations were very impressive, and people began to believe that the creatures in the lake were plesiosaurs, and soon proposed a plan to catch plesiosaurs alive. The British and American expedition teams jointly attacked and dispatched 24 research vessels to search the lake, hoping to find traces of the monster, but this arrest operation found nothing.
After the arrest failed, various skeptical and dissenting views appeared in the press, and some people believed that the so-called water monsters were nothing more than pine trees from ancient times, which grew on the shores of Lake Ness more than 10,000 years ago, sank to the bottom of the water due to the rise of the lake, and because of the water pressure, the pine trees accumulated gas inside, so they would occasionally surface, and after the gas was released, they would sink to the bottom. From a distance, these ups and downs of pine trees look like the bodies of monsters.
For those who have seen the monsters firsthand and have personally inspected them, the "Matsuki Theory" is obviously difficult to accept. Since then, new photographs of water monsters have appeared, but there has been no evidence of the existence of water monsters. The Loch Ness Monster was once again forgotten until a 2007 Associated Press story brought the loch Ness Monster mystery back into the spotlight.
On May 31, 2007, Gordon Hermes, a 55-year-old laboratory technician in the United Kingdom, filmed a video showing a creature about 13.7 meters long swimming rapidly in the water. According to professional analysis, this should be the Loch Ness Monster that has been silent for a long time. Hermes himself did not believe in the existence of the Loch Ness Monster, and when he first saw the creature, he thought it was a giant eel, but the creature in the video was really huge and amazing, and it swam surprisingly fast.
The video is uncut and is true, but it is still uncertain about the existence of the Loch Ness Monster, as it may show other known giant creatures. Whether or not the video proves the existence of the water monster, the video became the focus of events in Scotland at the time.
Hermes wasn't the first to get a video of a water monster, but in August 2000, the BritishMan Pollack and his wife and children captured a video of a strange aquatic creature in Loch Ness, which was questioned as a large creature like a seal, but according to the video analysis, it was not any known creature. The video was awarded the "2001 Loch Ness Monster Best Discovery Award" and Pollack was awarded £500 by the Loch Ness Monster Club.
The study of a college student in the United States proves the possibility of prehistoric organisms. Deborah Mickelson, a graduate student, has found footprints in northern Wyoming that are suspected to be the footprints of an aquatic dinosaur that lived between 100 million and 65 million years ago and bears striking resemblance to the Loch Ness Monster. Many people have endorsed her research, believing that the "lake monster" travels from northern Wyoming to the deep sea. Of course, Mickelson never said that the footprints belonged to the Loch Ness Monster, but most people are willing to link the two. Although the footprints are highly informative, some geologists and archaeologists believe that footprints alone cannot determine whether dinosaurs really went from land to sea.
Skeptics of the "Loch Ness Monster Theory" are also actively looking for evidence that the monster does not exist. A British expedition team used 600 independent sonar beams and satellite navigation technology to conduct field surveys in Loch Ness and found that the bottom of Loch Ness was flat and there was no trace of large biological activity. Italy also sent a team of expeditions, they said that Loch Ness is on a fault, as long as there is a vibration will form blisters and turbulence, people mistakenly think of it as a water monster.
The Loch Ness Monster is inconclusive for a day, and the various sounds will not stop. Hopefully, one day the truth will surface.
