Salaam Geography Geek, Can you Please tell me how they could draw the continents without having planes or satellites??? Keep up the good work, Greetings From Belgium ❤️☝🏽❤️🌳🐯💪🏾❤️🔥
Many people believed in mermaids. My great aunt that raised me who was a devoted Christian told me mermaids were real and I certainly believed her bless her soul I miss her so much that thinking about her often brings me to tears.
I have a question: if mermaids were seen in Congo, wouldn’t they be black? Or because they are underwater they are white? These type of questions keep me up at night.
Well depends on how void of light, we produce melanin to protect from the Sun, if you are deep enough you wouldn't need it, if anything you'd develop a pattern similar to fish dark on topside light on under
Dolphins and members of the whale family can make laughing and singing sounds. When looking at the water in search for humans they saw something swimming. Fear and fantasy do strange things with eyewitnesses. Fish do not make any sound... And even in old times, Poseidon was known to have daughters (and sons) that lured seamen onto their cliffs with singing. Near the Lorelei bends in the river Rhine, ships were wrecked if the shipper was distracted by their songs from the high peaks.
I have kayaked in Florida inter-coastal water ways , manatees and dolphins were swimming around me. I just caught some glimpses of them. A fin , a head ,and body in the cloudy water. I can see people with out picture books my have miss identified as mermaids.
I believe that the origin of this myth does not come from manatees but from women diving for something ( pearls sponges corals ) which was not uncommon in the "Caribbean regions" at the time.
Maps are inportant because the places these explores seen mermaids are commonly for over 100 years where people in the Caribbean see them. It’s so common in Haiti and Jamaica , with serious warnings for children at rivers. So much contact with them too.
The expanse of the seas and oceans has always been so awe inspiring and terrifying. It's no surprising that many men's imaginations ran completely wild.
The eyes of sea serpent on maps are looking at something on the shoreline. enormous islands that are missing were actually so small. sailors would run a ground and not see them just below high tide. Anyone have grandparents that were fisherman to teach you this?
@@anjalE30 demon / angels / aliens / dimensional creatures . Whatever you want to call them . I call them simply different . Supposedly these same creatures gave us sentience so it is what it is
I think it is a flying saucer, there are a few depicted in biblical art. I think it is more realistic an idea, that the mermaids have 2 legs covered in scales, with fin like tails for feet, rather than a solid fish body, it doesn't seem anatomically correct.
I actually think mermaids are the same as davy jones' locker. Folklore. If it motivates people to stay in that line of work or prevents them from deserting. Totally worth ad-libbing for the ships sake.
@@religionoffreedom So did I (Pregnant Goat Woman of the West Coast), again, no one gives a shit. No one relevant at least. I deleted my videos months ago.
3 of your maps from different times are all holding a ufo shaped object yet you only allude to 1. And u say its a mirror. No its definitely a saucer. Stop misinforming people.
I'VE SEEN A VIDEO ON RU-vid THAT HAS A FISH WITH A HUMAN FACE I THINK IT'S IN ASIA AND I BELIEVE ASIA IS WHERE THEY HAVE TWO TYPES THE NORMAL YOU KNOW HUMAN UPPER TORSO FISH TAIL AND THE OTHER A FISH WITH A HUMAN FACE AND I'VE SEEN A REAL VIDEO OF THAT
So did many other European folklore and myths such as leprechauns, fairies, giants and God's etc... most of it was stolen or borrowed but modern Europeans control narrative of information 🤔
They have old maps of Ancient Africans Hebrews kingdoms and tribes all across the continent, they have maps of Ancient African palaces and castles and forts, maps of old lakes and rivers all throughout the Sahara today that does not exist because of the desert sands, Ancient Ruind buried under the sand so much information but because it's Africa hidden or again refurbished info stolen and reintroduced into society as something new to benefit people with alternative motives of course
I've always wondered if they didn't find some delirious scurvy-ridden sailor, who washed up somewhere and was convinced he saw a mermaid when he really just humped a manatee.
Another thing we know? Lucy likes being a resentful bozo. It’s irrelevant if they’re real or not-𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘠'𝘙𝘌 𝘕𝘖𝘛 𝘌𝘝𝘌𝘕 𝘏u𝘔a𝘕 You have cognitive function lower than a racist, yet still just as petty.
My New Year's resolution, to stop watching dumbass YT channels that use big red circles and arrows on their thumbnails, as though we are all blind and stupid. Have a blessed year.
Because they're real, and have been seen. That's why. Many of you have no idea of the world you actually live in, because you only believe in things you can see daily.
I think the men seeing mermaids had been away at sea for too long lol. All men, all the time, month after month... Ya. Just like when my uncle was in prison for 16 years, he started seeing "mermaids" too. Hahaha!
