Do mermaids really exist? the fascinating theory of the aquatic humanoids

Some have wondered if there may be a kernel of truth behind mermaid legends. Could there really be intelligent aquatic humanoids, distant relatives of man, who have developed their evolutionary path by adapting to living in the depths of the ocean and who have developed a complex society in which they live hidden out of fear of their human relatives?

Do mermaids really exist? the fascinating theory of the aquatic humanoids
Around 2013 NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), the federal oceanographic agency of the United States, felt the need to officially declare that mermaids do not exist! “Mermaids of the sea, half human, half fish, are legendary marine creatures that have been told about since time immemorial,” NOAA wrote on its website. But the NOAA sortie is not random: it was released following the broadcast of an interesting program by Animal Planet entitled: "Mermaids, the body found", with the subtitle "a kernel of truth that lives under the legend of the mythical sirens”. It was actually a docu-fiction, in which, as the broadcaster...

Proto-writing and cranial deformation of the Paracas civilization
The name Paracas derives from the Quechua para (rain) and acco (sand), meaning rain of sand. The area where this important Peruvian culture arose is in fact a huge desert located in the south of Lima, where there were probably frequent sandstorms in the past. It was precisely the exceptional aridity of the climate that allowed the conservation of an immense archaeological treasure whose study led us to reconstruct the life of this ancient people. Cemeteries known as Cavernas and Necropolis were found in the Cerro Colorado area. But when does this culture date back? The French archaeologist Federico Engels found the remains of some cultiva...

Quipu and Quellca: numbers and writing of the Incas
Quipu were a set of cords connected by knots used to store information by the Incas. They can also be defined as a kind of accounting registers. The first scholars who tried to understand, in a scientific way, how the Incas used the Quipu were Leland L. Locke of the Natural History Museum in New York and Erland Nordenskiold. From 1923 to 1925 they assembled and analyzed 68 Quipu specimens. Following information obtained from historians of the 16 th and 17 th centuries, it is clear that the Incas used a decimal numbering system made up of simple and compound nodes. The Inca Garcilaso de la Vega in his Royal Commentaries (1609), reported th...

The Ishango bone, a clue to archaeo-mathematics in antediluvian Africa
In the 1950s, the Belgian archaeologist Jean de Heinzelin completed a series of excavations near the village of Ishango, in what is now Congo, near the border with Uganda. He found various tools dating back to the Paleolithic, such as chipped stones, as well as remains of human bones and ancient hearths (charcoal), but the most important object that was recovered was a baboon bone bearing three sets of engravings on three sides. At the top of the bone, just ten centimeters long, there is a quartz crystal set. When the bone was subjected to carbon 14 testing it was discovered that it was carved 23 millennia before Christ. Initially, not mu...

The origin of Christopher Columbus: the official documents
Nowadays no serious scholar doubts that Christopher Columbus was born in the Republic of Genoa. However, there are still many pseudo-researchers who, based on false information or conjectures, claim that the famous navigator had a completely different origin. Let's first see what the great Spanish historian Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo wrote in his Historia General y Natural de las Indias: Cristobal Colon, according to what I was able to learn from men of his nation, was born in the province of Liguria, which is in Italy, and in which the city of Genoa is located: some say that he is from Savona, and others from a small village which i...
