The first myths about mermaids appeared around 1000 BC. Legends say that a certain Syrian goddess decided to jump into the waters of the lake for having to turn into a fish.

Since those distant times, stories about mermaids began to appear frequently in folklore of cultures around the world. For example, the African spirit of Mami’s water Vata appeared to people in the guise of a mermaid, in principle, just like Caribbean Spirit of Lasoon Water.
Throughout history, meetings with mermaids periodically reported by many researchers, the most famous of which was Christopher Columbus.
Columbus claimed to have personally seen mermaids off the coast Haiti in 1493. Mystical creatures he described as “not as good as they are portrayed. “Columbus said that the appearance of the mermaids was more reminiscent of male than female.
