The mystery behind the tale of an ancient mummified ‘mermaid’ in Japan has been revealed 🧜♀️🕵️
The creature has two hands reaching up towards its grimacing face. Hair is still visible on its head and it has the remains of sharp, pointy teeth in its mouth. But its body gives way to a distinctly fish-like tail.in the city of Asakuchi in JapanIt’s unclear how or when the mummy came to the temple but chief priest, Kozen Kuida, said it was put on display in a glass case some 40 years ago and is now kept in a fireproof safe.
However, over the last twelve months researchers have subjected the mermaid to a battery of tests to determine if its an organic creature or not.Researchers from the Kurashiki University of Science and the Arts used CT scans and other high-tech tests to determine that, sadly, the creature is completely artificial.
And while the scientists did find some animal remains attached to the figure, they determined these had been added by whoever created it.The lower-half of the body does indeed come from a fish’s tail or fin. The scientiststhat it is a combination of ‘Dorsal, anal, and pelvic fins, the fin bones that support the fins, and the caudal skeleton.’
Radiocarbon dating showed that the subject dates back to the late 1800s, which fits with the team’s initial estimations for when it was made.
