Mermaid mummies
In 18th- and 19th-century Edo (now called Tokyo), sideshow carnivals known as misemono were a common feature of the landscape. These wildly popular shows featured crafts, acrobats and animals in a kaleidoscopic blend of attractions that were believed to bring luck, fortune and health to the audience. One attraction commonly featured at these shows was the mermaid.
Sideshow carnivals in Europe and America in the 1800s also featured mermaids, many of them from Japan and the West Indies. The most famous of these mermaids was P.T. Barnum’s Feejee Mermaid, which is believed to have been created around 1810 by a Japanese fisherman. The art of creating faux mermaids was perfected by fishermen and often involved stitching the heads and upper bodies of monkeys onto the bodies of fish.
(P.T. Barnum’s Feejee Mermaid)
A few of these old, mummified mermaids can still be found in the care of temples and shrines around Japan.
Here’s a photo of a mermaid mummy at Zuiryuji Temple in Osaka, which was bestowed to the temple as an offering from a Sakai-area trader in 1682. The temple also has in its possession the mummies of a kappa and a small dragon, both of which can be found by exploring the site at the link below.

Another mummified mermaid is preserved at Myouchi Temple in the city of Kashiwazaki in Niigata prefecture. This mermaid is about 30 cm long and is posing with its hands up near its cheeks (it looks sort of like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream”). This appears to be a common pose for the mummified mermaids. The proprietors of the temple keep the mermaid in a small wooden chest out of view, but according to the account at the link below, they will allow you to check it out if you ask nicely.
(Link: One person’s visit to Myouchi Temple)
The next photo shows the mermaid mummy preserved at Karukayado Temple outside the city of Hashimoto in Wakayama prefecture. The 50-cm long mummy has fang-like teeth that protrude from its wide open mouth and both of its hands are raised to its cheeks, like the previous mermaid. Its lower body is covered in scales, and there appear to be the vestiges of fins on its chest, as well as a pair of nipple-like protuberances.
(Link: Photos of Karukayado Temple)
The next photo (left) shows the mummy in the possession of a Shinto sect headquartered in the city of Fujinomiya near the base of Mt. Fuji. At 170 cm tall and 1,400 years old, it is the largest and oldest known mermaid mummy in Japan. The mermaid has an unusually large head that is bald, except for some hair growth that extends from its forehead to its nose. Its eyes and mouth are open. It has webbed hands with sharp claws, and a 20-cm long tail. The lower body has a bone structure similar to that of a fish, but it is unclear whether or not the upper body has a bone structure. The entire body shows signs of having been ravaged by moths.
Legend has it that this mermaid appeared to Prince Shotoku (Shotoku Taishi) as he was passing along the shores of Lake Biwa (about 1,400 years ago). The hideous beast told the prince about how it had been transformed into a mermaid as punishment for making a living as a fishermen within the boundaries of an animal sanctuary. The mermaid claimed that over many years it had come to a clear understanding of the horrors of destroying life, and that it was prepared to move on to the next world. As a final wish before dying, though, it asked the prince to establish a temple using the mermaid’s body as a centerpiece, where it could be used to educate people about the sanctity of life. The mermaid then died. The prince took the mermaid’s body and set up a temple as requested. But after a number of strange occurrences, the mummy was passed on to another temple. The mummy changed hands several times before ending up at its current location at the base of Mt. Fuji.

Also claiming a connection to this legend is Kannon Shoji Temple in Shiga prefecture, which is nicknamed the “mermaid temple.” This temple professes to be the one established by Prince Shotoku at the request of the mermaid. The temple has an old, 50-cm mermaid on the premises, which I could not find any photos of. (Let me know if you have one!).
And finally, here are a few sketches of mermaids drawn by Keisuke Ito (1803 - 1901), a man who played an instrumental role in introducing Western medicine to Japan. In addition to estabishing a method for smallpox vaccination in Japan and helping to set up what is today known as Nagoya University, he drew numerous sketches of plant and animal specimens. Buried deep in the volumes of sketches he made of marine animals, which show a variety of rather fantastic, but mostly realistic-looking fish, are the following specimens:
(Link: Fish volume 3, pp.23-24)
(Link: Fish volume 1, page 162)
You can browse the entire Ito Keisuke collection here. There is at least one more sketch of a mermaid (pictured next to a sea lion) somewhere on these pages. Among the hundreds of drawings of plants and animals, which for the most part appear to be drawings of actual specimens, there are some nice and mysterious surprises — like an 8-legged pig.

mermaids are beautiful and I am sure they do not look like the mummies I just saw. I mean they are freaken hideous, and they are obviously fake.
I do not get it i…….. thought mermaids were people not creatures.In Aquamarine, Aquamarine the the girl was a mermaid…..if this website was so smart tell me why can’t mermaids be people…..i am furious right now because mermaids i saw in those pictues are not people…..they are massivly ugly…….if mermaids were humen men or women i would not be complaining……..maybe America should make slip-on finns and ACT LIKE MERMAIDS……those mummy mermaids are furociously hideous
these r just unbeliveable
i always wanna believe in mermaids or merman…but real mermaids r not the type of “mermaids” we know in fairy tales–so pretty, singing melodious songs…still, i believe in it…
i dont know….. why im really interested by mermaids,,,,, i know that mermaids is
………………………………………………………………..,, only a fantasy
I think mermaids exist, my mother says everything exists, fairies, vampires and all, God created all kinds of life. But that was in the past, I don’t know about now though. Listen, keep beleiving in whatever it is that enraptures you, I’m sure real proof is out there somewhere.
Hi? You know what guys?…………..There’s nothin’ wrong if believe in this stuff.
Why? Coz everything is possible,and we can just assume that it is not only us who has the right to live in this world.
There are creatures out there who’re also livin’ with us,but we can’t just see them ,same as the mermaids.
Yeah,i know it’s kinda hard to believe but there’s nothin’ wrong if we open ourselves and try to believe some stuffs by which we don’t know if they do really exist or not.
HOPE THOSE WHO DOESN”T BELIEVE IN MERMAIDS WON’T BE MAD AT ME…….PEACE GUYS!!!!!
soo r they realy real there ugly yall need 2 find pretty ones

THEY ARE EVIL!
there are different kinds of mermaids they all have different tails to! and i believe in them because after the tsunami there was 2 mermaids found near the ocean
20th March 2007
Dont you think people were so fascinated to believe in One ,dat they attached the Body of a live Human to a Fish …. To Discover something Happened…. 1)Mermaids cannot have Heads Or neck…. They should Behave like fish..2) Mermaids dont have Ribs or lungs…But Gills 3) They should not have Skin But scales Because they are in the deep Water for very long time…4) Dey should not have Normal Eyes …
It could be the Sea Lion Mistaken for Human … Or the sailor men Sickness Reaching Certain Zone or Ghostly Figures

i wonder wut mermaids taste like… “?”
this is realy scary i always thought mermaides where beutyful and where not as scary looking as the ones in this museum and i still think that the beutyful mermaides are at the bottom of the sea and im pretty sure that these things u found are not called mermaides and i do belive mermaides exsist
Hi peoples; I do think mermaids exist but those are so so fake. Really, if you were smart you would know they’re fake. mermaids are beautiful, just watch Aquamarine!
U could tell this are made out of plastic and covered in dust.
Keep believeng!!!!!! mermaids are real. :)
ohw!!!
i think they aRe uGLy!!
yack!!
heya
i cannot believe what i just saw , but hey they might look like that or they might look pretty . i have believed in mermaids my whole life and i am twenty years old . wow guys great . this is awesome stuff . i am a marine biologist ( well im still studying but i have gone diving and have all ready found ship wrecks and a mermaids purse on the coast of florida - im not lying )
keep on going great .
hey guys i think that mermaids are real but i think that they buatiful not ugly and i believ in them in my hole life and if you chake on some sites you should know if they are real or not and in an ilsland a baby mermaid was born in a normal mom and it has only 1yrand i am not lying
i know mermaids are real thare have been fake pichers but this looks real
We think mermaids are real because we saw one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we think mermaids are real because we are witches!!!!!!!!!!!!What is up the sky………..
U Guys Are dumb no such things as mermaids i would punch taht thing in the face if it came at me. then i would do a chuck norris choke slam to it.
I can not belive what I just saw right now those mermaids didn’t look like the mermaids I was imagening in my mind.They look so ugly and scary.I was hoping to c beautiful mermaids like the 1 in Aquamarine,singing and dancing.But what I saw right now impresseed me alot that I didn’t even want to tell my brother or sister because I thought they were going to get scared.I don’t really know if they were real mermaids but I do know that they were really ugly.I prefer mermaids not existing.I thought mermaids were more beautiful like the movie little mermaid but I never imagined in my whole entire life that mermaids were so ugly.What I also think to tell you the truth, I think that those that were there looked faked like fake bones covered with dust.So if you belive in mermaids thats your problem. (By:Jacqueline Garcia
i rekon mermaids are real coz god cretaed all types of sea creatures and land creature mabye god has made mermaids… we just haven’t seen one yet. otherwise where the hell did humans get the ideas of mermaids hmmmmmm?
hay !!!! i just wanted to say i am seriously crazy bout mermaids i cant belive im sayin dis but i soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo want to be one well just wen i touch water kinda like h2o de show !!!!!!!but wen i saw de real ting i was a bit freaked out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!i think mermaids r supossed to be beautifiul, like sara paxton who played aquamarine in de movie,r like de girls in h2o ,i dont no how people came up that mermaids were beatiful i thought de were till i saw dese pics !!!!!!
One problem with the existance of mermaids.
We’re mammals and fish are amphabians. If you look at how fish swim their fins move side to side, where as it is more natural for mammals fins to move up and down. Also, amphibians do not posess hair, and mammals don’t have scales. Their blood and breeding processes are completely different.
The only way a mermaid could be real is if it’s lower half was more like a whale or a dolphin, so that it was wholley mammal. It wouldn’t have gills, it would just be very adept at holding its breath, though gills are more plauseable than other things considering most animals have gills before birth. it wouldn’t have scales on its tail, but smooth skin, infact all of it’s skin would probably be like that (not smooth like human, more like whale or dolphin).
Some babies are born with a disfuntion where the skin between the legs are attached like this, though.

—————————————————————————————————————
very well put
My belief is the same as yours and further beliefs are that those so called mermaids are fake!!..anyone can tell because it doesn’t take a genius ( would recommend at least iq of 110..lol..jk) its most like to be animal parts mixed in with fake bones or some sort of material and it most likely is to be monkey parts mixed in with fish parts.
Though i don’t want to be wrong..its alright to have your seperate beliefs but these are the mermaids i believe to be truly real http://smallworldpodcast.newsvine.com/_news/2006/09/20/368190-dead-mermaid-found-on-beach
…theres a connection to them that might require 20 mins of researching for you to recognize
—————————————————————————————————————–
btw..this is some real bs..lol because heres one of my friends that had to say something about the so called mermaid…at least the link to the mermaid i gave you..lol

This is a creature made by an Ebay seller named SEAMYSTERY. This creature is made from Real bones & Real skin. I remember him selling this item on Ebay about a year ago. He is on my favorite sellers list and I check on his items periodically. He always has some pretty cool handmade creatures on there & right now he has a mummy on there (buy it now $900). For those of you who say it looks fake, if you see some closeups, you will eat your words

ok…. u ppl….
1. how are you so sure of what mermaids look like…?
2. Aquamarine is just a movie
3. u guys all think that mermaids are supposed to be pretty only because thats the way all the disney storys are that you grew up with.
think outside the box
i think there are many kinds of mermaids
ugly-evil
beautyful-good
but sometimes the beautyful ones can be dangerous
i do believe in mermaids and i think there are many kinds of mermaids,,,ugly and beautyful,,just like humans
can i be a mermaid and live forever! please i bileive! how can i be one
Those pictures are messed up, they look like a monkey and a fish sown together. I’m used to believing that a mermaid has the top of a woman and it’s bottom is a fish but that doesn’t look nothing like it. They keep on showing those ugly pictures, that don’t even look real. But I still don’t believe that, that’s the way mermaids look.
thats not a real mermaid i belive mermiads are beautiful not ugly like that
Ok, I know that mermaids dont look like this. Is this a joke.Oh well I think the mummies are kinda cool but I would rather see beautiful lovely pretty mermaid that can be thought that way out of everyone.
i really dont think those ones are real but they are out there somewhere!!!!!!!!
I know that those are not real because they proved those were not real at Harvard. but i know they do exist. They are not as we picture them though. instead of scales they have skin like a dolphin has.(fyi-dophins are mammals just like us) they do not have blonde hair. they tend to have brown hair with a hint of blue or green. their skin is pale yet bluish.mermaids don’t nessesarily have to breath under water. whales and dolphins can’t. Just like dolphins and whales, they can hold their breathes for extremely long periods of time.the reason they’re not seen is because they make it a point not to be seen.Don’t believe me? Lets just say I’ve had very close ‘encounters’ with them.
those figi mermaids were proven not to be real at Harvard university. but I know mermaids are real. they are not how we picture them though.instead of scales, they have skin like a dolphin’s.(FYI-dolphins are mammals like us)they do not have blonde hair. their hair is usualy brown with a hint of blue or green.their skin is pale or tan yet bluish in appearance. mermaids don’t nessesarily have to breathe underwater.like dolphins and whales, they have the ability to hold their breathes underwater for extremely long periods of time.the reason they are not seen is because they make it a point not to be seen.don’t believe me? Let’s just say I’ve had ‘relations’ with them.
sorry guys. I posted two of the same thing because i thought my comment didn’t go through the first time. but just to add, whoever made those creatures were very imaginative!
mermaid are real and I think if yoru hreat is clean you can meet one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to kelly plesle were u saw them.
kelly did u saw them in your dream or cartoons I not making fun of u but give the reply ho ever u are!!!!!!!!!!
Brittany & Brandi where u saw them
You need to find some pictures of mermaids now not then!
how do you turn into a mermaid?
i have nver seen anythin like that before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean,there are people that are actually going to hear that!,its just so inopropriet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved the movie “Aquamarine” its totally awsome!!!!!!!
i LOVE MERMAIDSAND i THINK THEY ARE REAL BUT THOSE ARE FAKE.
I’m confused!
is this real????

i im doing a progecet on mermaids and that was NOT very helpful
it was ok!
hi please note you must be joking on these pitcures hahahahahahahahahahaha
I am not shure about Mermaids.But what if?
Cherleen,
Get help!!
mermaids are so real i belevie in them and if you beleive in mermaids fairys merfairys things like that like i do keep on beliveing! the mermaids above are not real mermaids are the size of a humen but instead of legs there is fish.
MERMAIDS ARE AS REAL AS UGLY & IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME , & IF YOU HAVE AN AFRICAN FRIEND JUST ASK THEM , MOST OF THEM HAVE SEEN THEM …. JUST TRY…. & HOPE NOT TO DISTURB YOUR MIND.. GOOD LUCK … THATS YOUR REAL ANSWER ALEX.
this shit sucks more than making dead people come to life…..either change the site or make it more interesting
i think that they are reall and in some website there would be a fakes mermaid baucues they have a fake tail a face mask and etc but some of them are reall lol hehe
If you want to see some real mermaid mummies & sea monsters visit
www.thefeejeemermaid.com
these are not made of plastic …they are made of real fish
even realmermaids turn ugly when they die and dry up…have you ever seen a beautiful egyptian mummy? all mummies are ugly.
heyy people i do think mermaids are real, mermaids don’t always have to look like the one in aquamerine, they could have webbed hands but there is no way they could have sharp teeth. people always assume that since a mermaid is half fish it would be ugly, but not always. there could be different typesof mermaids and some would have different colours of fins and different shapes and sizes of fins they are not always beautiful, well they can be beautiful but sometimes mermaids are not always sweet and kind, some are evil and those evil mermaids are called sirens, if you do not know what a siren is, they are beautiful creatures, they sing and sing beautifuly to hipmotise men and when they do, they kill the men, they sink fishermens ships, if you do not like what i have said about mermaids or do not belive in them i dont care because if you belive in miricals and faries, you can because nobody can stop you from what you belive in, i happen to belive in every magical creature there is, i have even saw some before
my mother said she saw a mermaid come out of the water and sat on a rock and combed her hair,her hair was long all the to her butt.mother saw this in mexico in the early 1960s.I still wonder if they are real.
so r mermaids real or not
we feel we have all the maidmaid like qualities. is it possible to become a mermaid after being born a human.
i wish i could see a mermaid!! that would be sooo cooooool!!!
i think mermaids ARE REAL. but my friends and family don’t belive me at ALL! BUT I WILL PROVE IT TO THEM AND SHOW THEM I NEVER LIE! i think you ALL
SHOULD BELIVE ME TOO. I LIVE IN INDIA, AND AFTER A TSUNAMI people found a mermaid. she was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pretty! i don’t think she was alive. i hope u all belive me!
so i [VANILLA] and i [candy]belive in mermaids.
if mermaids are not real then where did all of this come from i dont know if i believe in mermaids but there is something out there that is not normal that people are seeing
i think that mermaids are real and i am going to prove it in further websites of mermaids and if they are real i will send a write in here and tell you all of the stuff that i have found
i think mermaids are really we might not be not be able to prove it BUT ——
where did all of this mermaid stuff come from if their is no such thing as mermaids well i believe in mermaids and i dont no if any one can prove it but i sitll believe in them because people have sighted real mermaids so i think their real!!!!!!!
amyxX
i beliv in mermaid and my friends think i am crase bu i think if u have enaf dna u can mack one
well thx u for lying to me you told me that u are a mermaid and i know you u cant be a mermaid when you have 12 you will be a mermaid when u young and you will be a baby to be a mermaid do you hear me and i am knot an idoit fel
alright. having read the comments of every other idiot who commented, i will say something of my own. *clears throat*
you are all idiots. every last one of you.
1) mermaids have never been proved/disproved to exist (ie who knows)
2) due to this unfortunate fact (i myself love the idea of meeting one), we humans have no way of knowing for sure what the anatomy of a mermaid is. so there’s always going to be speculation (although i have some anatomy ideas [A&P class in school])
3) Aquamarine is a movie. albiet a good one, but still a movie. nothing more. get over it.
) i read one of those comments, the one before mine i think. the thing about being a mer until the “13th year” is a DISNEY MOVIE PLOT IDEA! THAT’S IT! jeez you’d think you people didn’t know the difference between reality and TV. wait, you don’t. i’m betting most of you are AMERICANS!
) not all mermaids are the beautiful ones we’ve been conditioned to accept. there are “evil” ones (She Creature), there are “dark” ones (Peter Pan, ‘03), there are “happy happy joy joy” ones (The Litte Mermaid), and there are “reality” ones (Mermaids, Aquamarine)
) did anyone NOT actually READ the article? or did you all just look at the pictures? it says (and i quote) “The art of creating faux mermaids was perfected by fishermen and often involved stitching the heads and upper bodies of monkeys onto the bodies of fish.” note the word faux. pronounced FOH. in case you idiots can’t read, it means FAKE, FALSE, NOT TRUE. this are IMITATIONS of what traders and fishermen SUPPOSE mermaids MIGHT look like (who knows)
) for those people claiming to have seen a real live mermaid in the past 30 years or so, i hate to tell you (for my sake as well), but there really ARE some people who emulate the mermaid. and they’re GOOD at it. one such model (who really rox!) is named Hannah Fraser. check her at http://www.myspace.com/hannahmermaid
if you want to see the closest thing to a real mermaid, check her out. you can also see her vids on YouTube.com (keyword: mermaids, username: hannahmermaid)
i myself have seen many strange, weird, and wonderful things. I belive in mythological creatures, wishing they were real and that the stories i write about them would make me worthy in thier sight to be honored by thier presences. but for now, i dream and sit and write, and hope that someday we’ll know if theses things ever were and if that is why we miss them so dearly and deeply.

do not worry eva these mermaids are hidious but they are not mermaids just relatied to them mermaids ar pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some of you make me laugh :D
I’m not saying they are real or not but this things are valid in either way:
1. Of course they are ugly. they are MUMMIES.
just look at the egyptian mummies, they are ugly too.
but they were “nice” while they were alive.
2. you can’t say you want to become one.
This would be like wanting to be an elephant.
It’s a completely different specie.
You have to be born one, you can’t be turned into one.
3. if they do exist then they must be really troubled by us poluting the seas. (we should be to)
4. science can prove that something exists, but it will never be able to prove that something does not.
5. I won’t state if i believe in mermaids. all i’m saying is that i believe there are aliens, and i hope to never see one. :D
mermaids wouldn’t bother me though
I think those mummified mermaids were from real things. I am not persuaded that it was alive like that. It could be a part of a baby who died at birth or a monkey the body amputated and stitched to a fishes body. such as Tuna, salmon sardine or some other species of fish. Then soaked in some chemical to dry the corpes and preserve it.
I think those mumified mermaids are really real!but only if they really had real proof that mermaids still lerk these lands and that they still actually exist in the real world . im sure those pictures were real but only if people could actually see A real mermaid those pictures could be how old i believe in mermaids but i want to see one . some pictures could be fishes or fake pictures they still maybe real but nobody believes in them anymore.
yesssssssssssssssssss dona since i was a little girl i believed in mermaids i still do
i just barfed like 20minutes ago and i think im gonna do it again after looking at this website!
i didn’t even mean to come onto this page! You people that believe in this crap are loons!
GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND GET HELP! …..YOU GUYS ARE SO GULLIBLE!
hey.. it’s really strange that my name is Ariel… but its true… I even played in school as the little mermaid… haha… I mean what is my connection to mermaids…? Duh!
I LOVED MERMAIDS PICTURES! But i don’t think there’s a real mermaid. There are sea creatures who looks like a mermaid but they are NOT MERMAID.How I wish to see a BEAUTIFUL MERMAID IF there’s a real mermaid, not an ugly mermaid.
I DONT BELIEVE IN MERMAIDS
MERMAIDS AR NOT TRUE
THEY ARE UGLY I DONT BELIEVE IN MERMAIDS much better if you will just draw a beautiful mermaids and put it in your website.
Well duh mermaids are soposed to be beautiful but so are people when there alive but when there dead they dont stay as beautiful but here are some real mermaid mummies not monkey fish things.
and there is also a condition that people are born with that can be simalar to a mermaids body.

Dang i do believe their has to be at least 1 mermiad in the but im confused because their ugly i thought they would be pretty loke on aqumarine……………..they look deformed,like some kinda alion……………thats so crazy…………~~~~~~~~~
maybe its ugly because they mummificated it…………it could of been pretty when it was alive like a thousand years ago.
………………………………………………

……………i wonder if they are alive today:2007

AHH i love mermaids just as much as you guys.
i really want to be one and liek to dream i was one in a past life.
kep on beleiving because they are deff real!
This is so funny. To think that people actually think that these are real. First of all a true mermaid would not have naisal passages, they would have gills. Mermaids woudl also have a more water dynamic body with slicker angels so it could manuver through the water with speed and ease.
- by the way im 13 and i know this..
lol
I WONDER IF THE DEEPEST OCEAN HAD BEEN PROPERLY EXPLORED. THERE ARE PARTS OF THE PLANET THAT HAD NOT BEEN EXPLORED YET, WHAT WE MIGHT DISCOVER SEND SHIVERS UP MY SPINE. IT MIGHT NOT BE A BEAUTIFULL LITTLE MERMAID, WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED, YET THERE COULD BE SOMETHING RESEMBLING HUMAN AND FISH . I TRY TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND WERE THESE THINGS ARE CONCERNED.
If the mermaid was fake it wouldn’t be in a mueseum duh.
I KIND OF BELIEVE IN MERMAIDS.NONE OF THIS MAY BE TRUE… BUT WHO KNOWS? I’M JUST A LITTLE GIRL WHO LIKES CATS. BLAH BLAH BLAH… FIND MORE STUFF ABOUT MYTHICAL THINGS AND PEOPLE WILL START BELIEVING YOU.I KIND OF THINK MERMAIDS ARE REAL, BUT WHAT WOULD I KNOW???
i love mermaids. i do not belive those are mermaids . they are deformed humans. people have found identical human remains. i bet mermaids are not real , but i truley belive in my heart they are!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow this is soooo awsome soo you guys say ariel is real!!omg!i want 2 meet her!!!not! u can tell those things r statgues!!!!now everyone knows u r not smarter than a fith grader!!!this is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lame!!get a life!!!!!!
all of weirdes out there that think mermaids are real,lets just say u must be high or u r sooo stupid and ralph waz it tell ur mom that ur not a baby anymore so um get a life and let her baby grow up!!!!not 2 be rude but um u luzers need theropy or something!!!!three words 4 u luzers GET A LIFE!!!
HEY CHEYENNE.. LET YOUR HAIR DOWN.. IT’S FUN TO BELIVE IN THE UNREAL SOMETIMES, LIKE IN CHRISTMAS PEOPLE STILL BELIVE IN SANTA. IT’S NO CRIME TO ENJOY YOURSELF, AS LONG AS YOU KNOW WHATS REAL OR NOT. UPTIGHT PEOPLE GETS THE FIRST HEART ATTACK EARLY.. KNOW WHAT I MEAN LOVE. ANYWAY AS FAR AS I KNOW, PEOPLE STILL HAVE A RIGHT TO THEIR OPINIONS, SO WHAT IF IT’S DIFFERENT FROM YOURS, THAT THE BEAUTY OF LIFE…DIVERSITY.
Yeah, these aren’t mermaids…not that I have anything against mermaids, because I don’t and I really like mermaids, but the mummies in those pictures are deformed people. I mean, they’ve shown LIVING people who are deformed like that, and it’s actually a kind of common thing. I forget the term for the people who are born like that, but as soon as I find it, I’ll post it here… :x
Alright, well, I found the term. It’s called Sirenomelia, or you could just google mermaid syndrome and find out more about it. I don’t think a lot of people are going to pay attention to this, because there seems to be determined fanatics on this page, that’s okay because I’m sure some people will notice what I write and pay attention to it :) Anyways, I hope this will end the whole discussion on this page…well, at least for a while :x
u guys r lame and need 2 get a life!!!peroid the end!!!!
randi, may i ask u a question? i will any way even if u mind. if u think people on this site r lame and need to get a life, why on earth are u here 2 ? is it maybe that u don’t have a life yourself and brouse the net to find people with hobbies u don’t like, so that u can relive your boredom insulting them? now that’s major lame, baby! why don’t u get a hobby and stop hassling people who are doing u no harm.
I love 2 see mermaid…and i belive in mermaids….these r great pictures…wow…its true that now m saying ki hey in our beautiful world here is a mermaid who true ur wish….ha ha i lve it…hey is any fairys picture u hve …a real one
i really thought that was enteresting, but, todays mermaids are
beautiful and elegant. i should know. I AM A MERMAID.(AT LEAST HALF.) I am called to the sea everyday. i long for the sea, water, the reefs, the sea life, the waves. you can think i’m wierd or have mental problems all you wan’t, i don’t give a hell. but i know what i am, and thats all that matters. thanks again for the info!please don’t e-mail me back.
Hey, cheyenne, lol is right. it is fun to believe in unreal things. But mermaids are not fictional. i know, i know. im mental. :> yeah right. i am a mermaid. bubble, bubble! you can believe whatever you want, BUT, keep you mind wide open. :>
this kind of stuff really interest me but i’m just not really believing that this is true
i do bilive in mermaids yet i dont bilive in mremaids. and i thoght they looked like models.
This is so fricken scary. Man i’m gonna have trouble sleeping 2nite. I always wanted to be a mermaid, they’re awesome, yo! but i don’t think they’re that ugly. W.E.L. It’s hard to believe it but i can sometimes(by accident)take a breath under the water when i’m swimming and nothing happens(no choking, no drowning)i’m DEAD SERIOUS yo!
Hi, I’m looking for a mermaid-type octopus. I was told that it sits upon a rock in south america, I believe that was the country. I’m not too sure. If you have any idea of what I’m talking about, please e-mail me and let me know where I may obtain a picture of some kind. There were three(3) different people that told me about this. They also mentioned that the mermaid or octopus or whatever this may be also has some type of hair hanging from its head. They also said that its face looks human-like or something to that affect. I’m really interested in seeing what they are talking about, but I don’t know where to beban. Can you please help me. Thank You Very Much.
so miranda, if it’s so crazy, why do you keep coming to this website?
Hi my names shelly and i totally beleive in mermaids! I totally beleive that God and Jesus Christ made beautiful creatures, they are the angels of the water, they save people! and the Bible does talk about water creatures! BTW memraids dont! look like this!!!!!!!

hey everybody. do you really think mermaids look like those pictures? if you do, you are pathetic and stupid.(i have written two other replies in case you want to know what i am.) mermaids are beautiful and elegant. some sweet, some not so sweet. but all beautiful. we can also speak all languages known to man. (kidding!) we can only speak English, French, German, Spanish and, well, unless your advanced, Latin and Hebrew. but we can speak all
language of sea life. have any questions about mermaids? ASK ME!! i check this website every day, about. see ya!
Evita. what are you to know about what mermaids look like or if they have gills or not. for your info, mermaids DO have noses and
gills. p.s. you are 13 and know nothing about mermaids.
i know these pics are lame. BECAUSE THERE FAKE. HEAR ME!!!!?????? F A K E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh! before i forget! if any of you go to the beaches, watch for mermaids. i could be there! beware, tho, of hoaxes. many of them out there. please, if you have a question, ask. oh, and u unbelievers, you suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i’ll be back later. i gotta read more replies and go collect some shells! bubble bubble! :)
FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!
