A photo of a mermaid, which was found in Yakutia, blew up the expanses of the Internet. Fans of mysticism all as one claimed: “A new era has come. Now no one can doubt that otherworldly forces exist. ” However, was this find real, or was it another trick of charlatans?
In Yakutia they found a mermaid: truth or fiction?
It all started with the fact that photos of a creature that exactly fit the description of the mermaid appeared on the network. At the same time, the quality of the images made it possible to consider all the details and contours of the body, which proved their authenticity.
So, a girl with a rather unusual skin color was captured on them. In some places, her body was covered with scales, like most fish. And despite the fact that the mermaid’s face was human, the animal features were visible everywhere: a slightly flattened nose, dark eyes, sharp teeth and snake-like hair.
But the main difference was the tail, which cannot be confused with anything else. The mermaid, found in Yakutia, was undoubtedly an inhabitant of the seas. Indeed, on land with such a device together with her legs, she simply could not move.
Alas, as the author of the photo claimed, he found her already dead. And soon, unknown people took her, and this only added fuel to the fire. Nevertheless, a few weeks after the publication of the pictures, the truth surfaced.
Where did the pictures take?
Before the blogger had time to enjoy his fame, it turned out that the mermaid, found in Yakutia, is an exact copy of the one recently seen in Israel. And to be more precise, the pictures taken there are identical to what the Russian fan of mysticism posted on the network.
That is, the mermaid, found in Yakutia, is just another fake aimed at self-PR and deceiving society (if you want, it ’s misleading). Such news greatly upset the audience, because she was sure that the author of the photo was an honest person.
And yet, soon a new stir broke out in the network. After all, even if these photos were taken in another country, this does not cancel the fact that a mermaid is captured on them! However, this hope was soon dispelled in the wind.
Where the truth is buried
No one doubted that the mermaid found in Yakutia was just a fake. And yet the question arises: what kind of creature is depicted in the photo, and who made them?
The whole truth is that there is no reliable data on who is the first author of these photos. Sensational shots pop up in one country, then in another. And because of this, the search for their owner is very difficult.
And yet, a lot is known about the mermaid herself. So, you should start with the fact that she is not real - it was made by David Grace. According to rumors, he was one of the sculptors who worked on creating special effects for the film “Pirates of the Caribbean”. It was for this picture that our "Yakut" beast was made.
As for the pictures themselves, there are two versions. According to the first, during the filming, David wanted to play a joke on the locals, and threw the fake body of a sea maiden ashore. This led to the emergence of a wandering legend about the inhabitant of the seas. But the second one says that the pictures were taken by an unknown photographer, who made his way to the place of filming of the film, which tells about the pirates, and captured some interesting moments.
Which of the legends to believe is up to you. However, the truth remains true: the mermaid from Yakutia is just a fiction, and nothing more.
