Hey guys welcome back to my channel. Today, we are going to be talking about
Mermaids and this is such a highly requested
topic you guys, you guys, are always asking me to do a video on mermaids
And I honestly didn't really know much about it before I started researching it and pretty interesting stuff here
I did want to let you guys know that, really exciting. I am about to launch my merch in the next month
I'm just going to slowly release it throughout the month in the next couple months. I have so many different designs
we're working on and I just don't want to overwhelm you guys so we're going to start with mermaid design if you're
Interested in purchasing the first official Kendall Rae merch here
It is get such a cool design and what's awesome about it is by purchasing these you are supporting my channel
Which as you guys know I've been really negatively affected from the ad
Boycotts going on at YouTube and the new ad features where brands are
Able to opt out of any of these categories which pretty much all my videos fall into those so I get cast groups
I'm so excited because all my march is going to be really cool stuff like I don't want it to be like too Kendall
Rae it's going to be really cool designs ah so many cool things coming the next two months
I can't wait to tell you guys about it
But anyway
If you're interested in checking out the options with the mermaid thing there's a couple different variations of the style like on different items
So I'll put all that below and you can go check it out
And you can be one of my first merch customers. pretty cool anyway mermaids, okay?
So the whole mermaid thing obviously has been around forever
the just legend that goes back to Philosophers and pretty much cave people okay the idea of mermaids is nothing new but
the idea of mermaids existing now is
kind of a newer thing. It really started getting attention when Animal Planet made this documentary I know it's kinda weird, Animal Planet?
And it was called "Mermaids: The Body Found" and this was Animal Planet's most-watched thing, like ever.
It have so many views, it like
skyrocketed, never had any other show or special perform as well as that.
People are very interested in mermaids and who wouldn't be? I mean I'm fascinated by mermaids
I was a kid when my favorite princesses was always Ariel, in the pool like I'd be splashing around, pretending
I was a mermaid and I had a tail.
I think the idea of being able to breathe underwater and still just be a person not having a mask like just being your natural self breathing
underwater just fascinating people
There's a reason why we're so fascinated by dolphins, and just sea creatures in general
And you know why we go snorkeling, watch documentaries on it
I think we're all a little fascinated with the underwater world because the ocean is about 75% of the planet. We
don't know how deep it goes at some points. We don't know what's down there.
I mean weird shit pops up all the time, and we really barely scratch the surface of the ocean
I mean truly
We've seen maybe I think it's less than 5% of the actual ocean we've explored think of all the things that are down there
think of-
I mean
It's really crazy, isn't it? Some people believe that
there are mermaids living down there and that they hide from humans and but they have like a whole world under there and
It's cool to think about, I definitely like the idea of it. The show-
I don't know if it's available on YouTube or anything online
but it basically follows this group of Marine biologists who came up to a
Whale beaching, and think in Seattle the documentary was pretty poorly done because they just were like "oh and two boys
stumbled across the whale beaching before anybody else, and they claimed they swore they saw a body"
But they don't tell us who these guys are, there's no like police report evidence
They just say these two boys
like no names or anything. These whales had horrible deaths because they were actually affected by a Navy Sonar thing and
their ears like we're bleeding when they found these poor whales washed up on the beach, but the people who made this documentary think that
There was mermaids along with them
But they were removed because the Navy came first and before anyone could do anything and they said once the Navy like
surveyed the whole scene and left they went down there, and there was nothing done and that the Navy didn't do anything
So it made them think that they were just removing something and taking it with him
Which is totally possible. The NOAA actually has come out and said there's no
evidence of humanoid species under the water, just does not exist.There's no facts, no evidence.
There's a lot of fake stuff on the internet
Honestly the costume work is incredible
But if that was a real confirmed video it would be all over the news that would be huge, huge news, okay.
There's this one famous video that claims to be all these
merpeople like swimming together
It was actually originally posted as a dolphin herd and the user who uploaded the video originally before it's been ripped off so many times
says that they were just dolphins and it was a cool dolphin video that
He posted to youtube, "Check out these real mermaids! as you can see those are real mermaids found in Florida"
So anyway on when these marine biologists took the sound the recordings of the whales they could hear them like in
Terrible pain, I mean really really sad
But they also heard a sound that they hadn't heard before and they think that the sound
Was possibly a mermaid because the sound has only been on record one other time
But there is a theory, and it's called the Aquatic Ape Theory. It's kind of complicated
but basically the theory is that we all know about evolution and
You know apes and most of us in the scientific community at least
believes that. Then there's the Aquatic Ape Theory which is I've heard two different ways some of us ended up in the water
somehow like maybe trying to fish and we like evolved into water species or
people think that we didn't actually come from apes, we came from some type of Marine animals that
evolved into humans. The theory doesn't have a lot of scientific support from the community.
It's pretty controversial and widely believed to just not be true, but it is possible, and it's an interesting theory
but a lot of people think that if the Aquatic Ape Theory is true
And we really did come from the ocean that would make sense for why our
hands are slightly webbed. If you look at your hands,
I bet even know you had webbed hands and webbed feet,
but we do. There's kind of like a little bit of pinch of skin between you know this part right here
But I don't know if that necessarily means that our hands were originally used to swim
but it's really really weird to think about. Some people are actually born with a condition where their hands are webbed.
We also have flexible spines that we're able to kind of swim like this. Another interesting fact is that,
humans can hold their breath longer than like any other land creature. It's really really bizarre
I can't hold my breath for shit. The record-holder for holding their breath is 20 minutes
I think I don't know if that's updated
But I think David Blaine was underwater for like a really long time. "In an attempt to set a new world record
underwater is even having some extra heartbeats now his heart rhythm is irregular. Low oxygen in the body and so his body's responding
he's in a
survival mode right now come on come come on come on come on David made it
Made it
Extra Heartbeats are occurring right now, 17 minutes. David Blaine set a new world record."
We can hold our breath really really well. Another piece of evidence that this documentary used
I found was interesting was the use of spears that um over the years
We found tons and tons of spears in the ocean like in there like an elaborate, nice design and people think that these are underwater
weapons used by underwater people
But it's also possible that they were just weapons used by people
Over the years that I have sunk. I don't know I feel like I'm being so skeptical with this and I want to believe in
mermaids so bad. I'm open to it. You know if they're if they want to pop up anytime. I'm ready for it man
I'm actually more open to the idea that there are aliens living underwater that are kinda like mermaids, so for this
They're just other humans like us. Why wouldn't they want to like come up and say hi?
I mean that's kind of weird there have been cultures that believe in mermaids for so long if you look at like I said
caves and
Australia you know aborigines. There's actually a lot of
Prominent figures [in] history [they've] talked about seeing mermaid
So I feel like that kind of throws people off too. Christopher Columbus,
who wrote about being mermaids in his Journal Captain John Smith,
you may know him from Pocahontas, he also claimed to have seen mermaids. You know the real guy, not the blonde dude. they exist even in
Shakespeare plays. Famous Greek Philosopher Homer talked about them in his book, but he called them Sirens,
So you may have heard that before. After doing all my research, I really don't see much evidence for mermaids
There's just not enough for me to like fully believe it who doesn't want to believe in mermaids?
I mean, they're like the best fantasy of all. People that can live in the underwater world that we can't even access pretty cool
But anyway
Let me know what you guys think this video was actually available early for my patreons and they got to see it before anybody else
so if you're interested in becoming a patreon
there is a link below to check it out and check out our patreon community which has become a really cool tool for me. I
absolutely love connecting with you guys on there, but anyway that's it for me today guys.
I hope you're having a great day, and I will see you next time. Bye!
