Mermaids in history books
As early as 2300 years ago, Babylonian historian Barosso recorded the mermaid in his book Ancient History.
17th century, Hutchinson's Nautical Diary published in London, England, also recorded mermaids, such as:
Mermaids show their backs and breasts on the sea like women. Its body is similar to that of ordinary people, with fair skin and long black hair on its back. When it dived into the water, people also saw that its tail was similar to that of a dolphin with spots like mackerel on it.
In China, there are also records of mermaids in ancient history books. The shape of the mermaid is described in detail in the ancestor story of the Song Dynasty: In Song Taizong, a man named Chadao went to North Korea. I saw a "woman" appear on the sea. "The red skirt is bare, the bun is messy, and the red collar is slightly exposed behind the ribs. Life is in the water, and worship water as a mermaid. " In addition, Xu Xuan, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, recorded a similar mermaid in The Gods. By the middle of18th century, a sensational mermaid specimen exhibition was held in London, England. Subsequently, the same exhibition was held in new york, USA, which caused a sensation again. However, afterwards, after inspection by relevant scientists, the "Fergie Mermaid" specimen that stood out from the crowd was a combination of monkeys and fish.
Therefore, people doubt the existence of mermaids. In Natural History of Norway, Norwegian biologist ehrlich Pontopi even warned people: "They gave the mermaid a beautiful voice and told people that she was an outstanding singer. Obviously, people with a little brains will never be interested in this kind of strange talk and even doubt the possibility of this creature. "
