A new analysis of a mummified 'mermaid' found in a Japanese temple has revealed exactly what it is made from, and it's not what scientists thought.
A centuries-old mummified"mermaid" that scientists recently revealed to be a gruesome doll of animal parts is even weirder than previously thought, new findings show.
Researchers from the Kurashiki University of Science and the Arts in Japan took possession of the mermaid in early February 2022 and began studying the eerie artifact using a range of techniques including X-ray and CT scanning, radiocarbon dating, electron microscopy and DNA analysis. The results showed that the mermaid's torso did not belong to a monkey but instead was made predominantly from cloth, paper and cotton that was held together by metal pins running from the neck to lower back. It had also been painted with a paste made from a mix of sand and charcoal.
