Scientists from the Kurashiki University of Science and the Arts have tested an old “mermaid mummy” to find out what it really is.
The Enjuin “mummy” was found in a box at the Enjuin Temple in Asaguchi, Okayama Prefecture, Japan. A note left with the unusual object claimed that it was “a mermaid caught in a net off the sea off of Tosa […] in the Genbun era [1736-1741 CE],” according to Unseen Japan.
