But sometimes it is said that sailors traveled on ships for a long time. I didn't see any women and hallucinations occurred. That was a completely anonymous mermaid. But those traveling by boat got imaginary because they were lonely and missed their families.
In the past, most mermaid legends were told similarly. A mermaid is a young girl who emerges from the water with her upper body bare but her lower body underwater like a fish. In Thai literature, mermaids are described as beautiful, clean women. The upper body is a human, the body is a fish with a plump crown and most importantly, the protagonist of the story, Phra Aphai Mani, is the cause of all events and the birth of Sudsakorn, the protagonist of the story.
What story are you going to tell?)
Mermaids are a mystery. Centuries ago there was a legend that if there were animals that were half human and half horse (centaurs) on land, in the water they would be half human and half fish. This conclusion may be A metaphysical hypothesis, but we've seen fish that look like pigs. But that doesn't mean that there really are pigs in the water..
Evidence found from South African newspapers The December 20, 1977 issue of the Free Terrier News reported that a mermaid had been spotted rising out of the water as the sea raged and the sky was filled with stars and the upper body of a beautiful woman floated. Above the surface of the water for a while it disappeared, but a part that looked like a fish's tail was seen rising up and then disappearing into the sea.
According to legend about mermaids, it is said that Onnais, the god of water, god of light and wisdom, had a daughter and a son who were shaped like fish. Take care of the ocean waters and rule the entire sea. One strange thing happened in 1608 that a large group of Half-Fish people were found closing the mouth of a cave at St. Ives on the coast of Benover because many ships had been ordered to capture heretics or other people. Pagan came to punish him and had the body thrown into the sea. This incident is still baffling to this day whether it is true or not.
Some legends say that mermaids are demons who lead sailors astray and shipwrecks, eventually sinking to the bottom of the ocean. She would sit on a rocky cliff, combing her hair and singing, causing sailors to fall in a spell with her seductive voice and gestures, causing them to lose their direction, and as the ship approached, the sweet sound that could be heard turned into a shrill shriek. They were afraid that the mermaids would sink those ships.
Another evidence supporting the existence of mermaids dates back to 1685. Fishermen found the remains of a half-man, half-fish lying dead on the coast of the western Philippines, and in 1741, the remains of a fish with the head of a person were discovered in southern Australia. Y But most importantly, in 1985, someone discovered a type of fish with a head that resembled the face of a human being. Later, this type of fish was named
HUMANFISH
