Why the government issued a position on mermaids
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was none too amused by the television shows’ claims that there is evidence that mermaids were/are real, and issued a statement on its Web site. It says:
Mermaids — those half-human, half-fish sirens of the sea — are legendary sea creatures chronicled in maritime cultures since time immemorial. The ancient Greek epic poet Homer wrote of them in. In the ancient Far East, mermaids were the wives of powerful sea-dragons, and served as trusted messengers between their spouses and the emperors on land. The aboriginal people of Australia call mermaidsThe belief in mermaids may have arisen at the very dawn of our species.
But are mermaids real? No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found. Why, then, do they occupy the collective unconscious of nearly all seafaring peoples? That’s a question best left to historians, philosophers, and anthropologists.
