In the history of navigation there was such a legend: one day, a Venetian merchant ship is returning from India, that night, the moon like silver, the sea is flat as a mirror, the sailors suddenly saw the water surface far away from the emergence of a human body tailed fish of the beauty of the bare chest, holding a quiet suckling baby, but wait until they sailed closer, but nothing. They sailed closer, but nothing is gone

These distant legends and fairy tales, believe that not many people after all. 70 years, rumor has it that in the Arabian west coast had found a kind of upper half of the body is a fish, the lower half of the body like the human body of the fish that said, and took a picture of it. Some people do not believe that this is based on legend and imagination drawn after the shooting of the forgeries

According to tradition, the mermaids to the waist as a boundary, the upper half of the body is a woman, the lower half of the body is draped with scales of the beautiful fish tail, the entire body, both seductive, but also to facilitate the rapid escape. They are soulless and as merciless as the sea; their voices are usually as deceptive as their appearance; and in one body they combine seduction, vanity, beauty, cruelty, and desperate love.

Historically, a number of natural historians and explorers have been convinced of her existence. Museum of Pliny is the first to make a detailed record of the mermaids, he wrote in the 1st century A.D. in the immortal book "Natural History", "people called 'sea nymphs' mermaids, is not a fable, and they are with the painter of the mermaids completely consistent, but the skin is particularly rough, covered with scales. The whole body is covered with scales, even the upper part of the body, which resembles a woman's." Columbus, returning from a voyage in 1492, also mentions mermaids. He describes the story of one of his seamen: he saw three mermaids standing tall on the surface of the sea. They were not as beautiful as in the painting, however, and their faces had certain hominid aspects

But by the early 18th century, there was growing skepticism about the mermaid legend, and museum scientists began to reassess their insights. Elric B. Pontoppidan, in his Natural History of Norway, argued that most legends about mermaids were pure nonsense. He accused some people of confusing fiction with history: "Obviously, no one in his right mind would ever be interested in such tales, or even doubt the possibility of the existence of such creatures.

However, mermaid-like folklore exists in many countries around the world, and its longevity suggests that mermaid stories are probably based on some sort of fact. In fact, from a distance, mermaid-like animals are probably such a few: manatees, dugongs and a variety of seals and other sea cow order animals, although they do not look good, but with the legendary mermaids have a few similar. Manatee's body is almost hairless, slightly larger than the human body, the female manatee's protruding breasts in a way similar to the female breasts. The manatee has no other limbs, and its fatty trunk ends in a tail consisting of two horizontal fins. The dugong has a similar body shape to the manatee, with rough whiskers on its prominent muzzle. It is said to often poke its upper body out of the sea while nursing, holding its young on its chest with one flipper. Not only does the seal have a front flipper and barrel-shaped body similar to that of the manatee, but it also has extraordinarily gentle and attractive eyes. The seal's jumps and habitual gestures also resemble those of the legendary mermaids. Legends about mermaids have been around for more than 2,000 years, spanning cultures, geographies, and centuries, and are widely circulated around the world, with statues of mermaids cast in many countries. However, the Danish statue of the Little Mermaid is the most historical

Legend has it that long ago, a prince passed through Copenhagen on a boat, due to storms, the boat sank, and the prince was rescued by a mermaid who risked her life, and the two fell in love at first sight and swore that they would love each other forever.
