Well that would tick me off if discovery channel was pulling a fake "take down" of these sites |

Berossus describes Oannes as having the body of a fish but underneath the figure of a man. He is described as dwelling in the Persian Gulf, and rising out of the waters in the daytime and furnishing mankind instruction in writing, the arts and the various sciences. The name "Oannes" was once conjectured to be derived from that of the ancient Babylonian god Ea,[2] but it is now known that the name is the Greek form of the Babylonian Uanna (or Uan) a name used for Adapa in texts from the Library of Ashurbanipal.[3][4] The Assyrian texts attempt to connect the word to the Akkadian for a craftsman ummanu but this is merely a pun.[3] Iosif Shklovsky and Carl Sagan cited tales of Oannes as deserving closer scrutiny as a possible instance of paleocontact due to its consistency and detail.[5]" [link to en.wikipedia.org] Also see: 'Dagon' [link to en.wikipedia.org] This is Jonah.

JDSGUAM2 User ID: 16707445 Guam 05/29/2012 02:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now we know what James Cameron was REALLY looking for when he did that deep sea dive don't we? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13363335 I'm sure there are mermaids out here near the Marianas Trench - Sirena may be the "Eve" of a whole new breed! Mermaid Transformation: Sirena of Guam In Guam they have the legend of a famous mermaid transformation. According to the story, a young girl named Sirena lived in the city of Agana near the Minondo River. (This occurred in the "old Spanish times" somewhere between 1565 and 1898). Sirena loved to swim and took every opportunity to go swimming in the sea or the Minondo River. One day, Sirena's mother asked her to gather coconut shells to make a fire. Sirena started to look for coconuts but soon caught sight of the river and went swimming instead. When it started getting late Sirena's mother and godmother went looking for her and found her diving about in the water without a care. Angry, Sirena's mother cursed her and said, "if you love to swim so much then be a fish!" Hearing this Sirena's godmother was horrified. She could not prevent the curse but she could soften it. She asked that the part that belonged to her remain human. Out in the water Sirena felt very strange. Looking down at where her legs had been she saw that she now had a tail like a fish. Her mermaid transformation was complete! Sirena's mother, realizing what she had done, regretted her decision but it was too late. The mermaid transformation curse had been laid and will last forever. Sirena, tearfully, said good-bye to her mother and godmother and swim out of the river into the Pacific. Sirena is occasionally seen by mariners to this day. People say that she can be caught only with a net made of human hair. This story was referred to me by Gina Decaire, who grew up in Guam. She told me that: The interesting thing about this legend is the house where Serena lived still remained present on the River (still there in 1980's)...when I was growing up we would drive downtown to go shopping and we would always look for Serena's house. She also tells me that there is a statue of Sirena, near her house, that was erected in the early 1980s. Sirena has also been immortalized on golf balls adorned with her image. They can be purchased at the Coconut Villa Gift Shop in Guam, or at their online store. |
