Mermaids

[Sylph]

interesting theories all but I dont believe in mermaids and shapeshifters. its all myths and make belief

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Well, that may be true. Although, if you look at my island for instance, notorious for the "Bermuda Triangle", many people believed it didn't exist, only to be discovered that some weird electromagnetic field[or something similar] is located strongly here. Which explains why planes and boats would lose their directions, because their equipment was messed with by the electromagneticism.

Also, true history lovers would know, that in the days of Bermuda's discovery/colonization, the island was believed to be the Devil's Isle and was avoided by Seafarers, because boats kept mysteriously sinking before even getting here. But now we know it's because of our coral reefs, that not only protect us from Tsunami's, but Seafaring men and their boats, due to it's almost impenetrable protection, ofcourse until you learned how to detect and sail around it.

So Myths have to come from somewhere, even the most unlikely and unbelievable source.

I pretty sure the feejee mermaid was debunked, someone just sewed a fish to a monkey and try to pass it off as as mermaid.

But... if that were the case, wouldn't scientist, who I am sure can accurately tell the difference between the two, have discovered this and immediately dismissed it? And biologically speaking, that would never work, as the Biochemistry of those two animals would not mix. Also, you'd need a pretty large fish to sew to a monkey, which would also take some talent in animal knowledge and medical knowledge as well. :biggrin:

I also believe that the goverment do cover things up and not to sound like some fanatic, but want you to believe what they want you to believe. It makes sense, when you think of Roswell, Area 51, Unexplained Phenomeons, Why is it that we never know about these things, even though we know they exist[to some extent or less]? And why is it that, if you happen upon Area 51, you are arrested immediately? Sounds strange.:confused:

I believe that there are things people don't want to believe, because it'd break the illusion and it will probably unhinge their minds.

Not every person who has seen something paranormal or unexplainable is crazy.

Also, when I said Mermaids, I didn't mean the beautiful [or viscious in some cases] people/creatures who gracefully swim beneath the ocean from lore. I actually meant a variation of us or even what we used to be, scientifically.

Like what I mentioned earlier, our seemingly adaptations to water [I.e - Webbing, significant breath holding] and how this could corrolate with the lore/theory.

Because as I said, and even Bowyn has said, over time, perhaps our ancestors got split up and evolved/adapted differently. Perhaps not to the extreme extent to the actual Mermaids from mythology, but rather a hybrid or even a slighty Amphibious or Semi-Aquatic person/being.

We know more about outer-space, than we do our own oceans.
