Underwater People
One of them - the modern inhabitants of the depths - rybolyudi ... The territory of modern Bolivia the ruins of the ancient city Tiaunako. "It has walls made of stones so huge, it's hard to imagine what human force could have put them in place - writes visited him in the days of conquistadors historian G. de la Vega. - There are remnants of ancient structures, most notable of which are stone portals, hewn from one piece of rock. They stand on the grounds, which reaches a length of nine, four and a half wide and two meters in height ... " Spanish historian described the building, now known as Kalasasaya. According to the American professor Arthur Poznanski, Kalasasaya constructed in accordance with the observations of the stars, made a very long time ... about 15 thousand years BC!
Another mystery is Kalasasaya carved from red sandstone statue of a height of about 1,8 meters. It depicts a humanoid - human beings with massive eyes and lips. In his right hand humanoid squeezes something resembling a knife with a wavy blade on the left - the object, like a book bound with clasps. From the waist down the figure is covered with ornaments in the form of fish scales. Moreover, in order to emphasize this, the sculptor has given the individual scales form of stylized fish heads.
Researcher of ancient civilizations Graham Hancock mentions in his notes that down near the lake once lived creatures with fish tails and Chullua Umantua, teaching local residents the basics of literacy and agriculture.
Another great Kalasasaya idol, made of gray stone, can also be attributed to the fish-people. Like the first, he has below the belt clothing consists of fish scales and fish symbols. In his hands he holds the same weird things: the left one - something like a book from which protrudes a split grip, the right one - a cylindrical object, tapering in the middle.
About amphibious creatures covered with scales, and endowed with reason, tell the legends of the Sumerians, who lived on the opposite side of Earth.
Here is what the Babylonian priest and mage Beros: "All his body (the leader of amphibians called Oannesh) was like a fish body. Under the fish's head he had another, and from below his feet like a man ... When the sun was setting, this being normally again plunged into the sea and was up all night at depth, because it was an amphibian. Happy Oannesh talked to people. He gave them the knowledge of letters and science, all kinds of arts. " On surviving Babylonian and Assyrian reliefs in associates Oannesha can clearly distinguish rybolyudey.
Legends of the Sumerians and the ancestors of Bolivians speak of times past, but rybolyudey can meet today in the seas. Here are just a few cases have occurred in recent decades.

Gulf of Mexico, 1979. Sailors of the Navy United States decided to eat fresh fish. Thrown into the sea network, but they got not the prey, which had expected. It was a creature from a distance looked like a man about six feet tall. But close behind the ears ... the creature could see their gills, large protruding eyes closed translucent film, his mouth stuck impressive fangs. Dark skin prisoner was all in small bumps and feet looked like flippers. But most men do not hit the very form of outlandish creatures, but what about his neck hung a plaque with the buttons. The sailors tried to connect the underwater monster, but they failed. The creature had a fierce resistance: one rating it raspolosovalo fangs leg, another stabbed in the chest claws. Then one of the angry men with a crowbar cutting his skull. The body was transferred to the sea monster arrived on the scene, Navy special forces, and his fate is unknown.
Met underwater monsters and in Russia and CIS countries. The last such meeting took place as recently as summer 2002. Three Ukrainian divers searched the bottom of the Black Sea near Odessa and ... stumbled upon the remains of the flooded city, and resembles a Greek. But the divers did not hit more well-preserved submerged buildings, and two strange, like nothing on earth creatures. They had no special costumes, no scuba divers. They stood around some buildings and one of them drove above the bottom in some round object.
It was not the first encounter with the underwater residents of the former Soviet Union. Paul Stonehill, who emigrated from Kiev in the U.S., created the California Center for Russian Studies UFOs. Centre has collected unique information about the underwater inhabitants encountered the Soviet military in Russia and Central Asian republics.
So, in 1982, on Lake Issyk-Kul passed divers collecting intelligence. Suddenly it came to the head of the diving service Defense Ministry, Major-General Vladimir Demyanenko. He said the management fees of emergencies occurring on the western shore of Lake Baikal. There, during a combat training dives divers have met several times with underwater swimmers, like people in tight silver jumpsuits. They swam to a depth of 50 meters, with no scuba diving, or any other devices. Moved unknown swimmers at high speed. Local commanders decided to demonstrate the combat skills of the Soviet submarine and capture the unknown. This attempt ended in tragedy - the death of our divers. Maj. Gen. specially flown in Issyk-Kul to warn their colleagues about the dangers of such actions. Although the Issyk-Kul and smaller lake, the lake has sufficient depth, "and that there is any fiction could have to be got."
Head Diving Service Corps of Engineers had every reason to worry about the safety of Soviet frogmen: on the Issyk-Kul have long walked a very strange rumors. On them, Paul Stonehill told the Georgian emigrant Papashvili, who spent his childhood on the shores of the lake. Once a hot day the 12-year Papashvili and his three friends decided to relax on the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul. They climbed into the mountains surrounding the lake. Came to the valley where the river slows tergite its rapid flow and forms a small lake. The guys were diving off the cliff, serving over the lake. Papashvili dived first. Under the water he found a hole leading into the rock. Through the tunnel the boys got into a huge cave. Faint light filtered through the cracks in the ceiling. The whole cave was littered with skeletons. According to the boy's skull was "as our" only the size of a large basket. Particularly struck by the boy enormous eye sockets, each of which is easily held his fist. Once in the underground hall, Papashvili remembered the legend of the underwater inhabitants of the lake and realized that he happened to be in a place where they come to die.
Tribe Ichthyander
Who are these humanoid beings living on the bottom of seas and lakes? Comparing the legend of the underwater inhabitants preserved in Bolivia, and found records of ancient Sumer, one is struck by the similarity of their behavior. They always play the role of teachers, teaching people the basics of agriculture, construction, science, above all the basics of astronomy. Immediately comes to mind is the thought of contact with an extraterrestrial civilization. That's how scientists interpret these legends dealing with paleovizita. For example, Hancock, meticulously study recent archaeological discoveries in Egypt, South and Central America, the Middle East.
In addition to the ancient legend of the underwater inhabitants, which have reached us from the depths of the millennia, there are fresh chronicles and legends relating to closer to our time. They allow us to make a somewhat different conclusion about the origin of submarine men.
For example, the Italian legend of the boy Cole, who lived on the shores of Messinian Gulf. The boy loved to swim in the sea. He spent it all day and sometimes night. And one angry mother shouted after floating away to his son: "If you sea more expensive than the mother, live in it, like a fish." Words heard her magician cast a spell, and immediately the boy between his fingers grew membranes, and swollen throat, and became like a frog. In short, the magician turned the man into an amphibian.
This is a new creature has helped fishermen untangling their network shows which side are shoals of fish, warned of the treacherous sea currents. In the end, Cole met with the king himself. He Cola revealed the secrets of underwater life, and warned about the possible death of the country's capital Messina. And he described the impending catastrophe, as a professional geologist: the bottom of the sea through the cracks of rocks rise up smoke and flames, water pomutneet become hot, the fish will leave this place, and all the inhabitants of the sea bottom die. But the king did not heed the warnings of underwater creatures. And then came the day when the earth shook, opened deep fissures which have turned into an abyss, and flourishing city in ruins.
