KRAKEN - the sea monster

The idea that legendary creatures inhabit the oceans is a legend that has persisted for centuries. Kraken is told as a giant sea animal that has long tentacles and is feared by sailors. Because, the Kraken is known to like to attack the ships of the sailors, with its tentacles and strength. In folklore in the Nordic region (Northern Europe), these creatures are told to haunt the oceans from Norway to Iceland, and as far as Greenland. The name "Kraken" itself is derived from the Scandinavian word "Krake," which denotes an unhealthy animal or an odd object. This word is still used in modern German, to refer to the Octopus. According to legend, the Kraken is considered capable of destroying ships. It is believed, from the many marine scientific reports that say the mythological creature is told to attack strongly if it is in sight. But despite its fearsome reputation, this mythological monster can also bring benefits. One of them is the belief about many fish that follow on his back. Legend tells us, Intrepid fishermen, who are willing to take risks by getting close to these huge creatures, can catch a lot of fish. Although the Kraken is typically portrayed as a giant octopus or squid, which may be an accurate representation of the mythical beast. He is also described as a "crab-like" creature that is thought to be responsible for creating enormous whirlpools in the oceans. If you look closely at its history, the story of the Kraken was first written 1180 years ago by King Sverre of Norway. Like many legends, the Kraken began to manifest itself with a tangible appearance, based on the appearance of a real animal, namely a giant squid. Of the various existing literature, Kraken is more influenced by fiction. But the author was inspired by the experience of sailors in the real world. Each of the experiences of the sailors, who are said to have met alien sea creatures, then it becomes a hereditary story that is passed down with mythical stories. Important Sightings. Pierre Denys de Montfort was the one who looked into the Kraken in 1801. "I discovered a painting of a big octopus pushing a ship with its tentacles at the Chapel of Saint Thomas in Saint-Malo, Brittany, France." According to reports, the incidents represented in the painting are based on true stories. Unfortunately, the precise year of the events that occurred to the seamen is unknown. However, at the very least, it can't be stated that a big monster attacking a ship is a myth. A different incident. took place on November 30, 1861. The crew of the French ship Alencon saw a huge sea monster swimming not far from the ship. while it was in the Canary Islands.

He used mortars and bullets, that the sailors had just prepped to fire at the creature. in October 1873. Theophile Picot, a fisherman, and his son discovered enormous squid tentacles in Newfoundland and Labrador. following measurement According to the experts, the beast may have measured up to 11 meters in length. Carl Linnaeus made a separate classification for Kraken, which is a type of cephalopod mollusk. Then, in 1853, a massive cephalopod was discovered off the Danish coast. With the advancement of knowledge, tales that were once regarded as myths or legends have been transformed into history. Despite the fact, that the Kraken is frequently referred to as a mystery mythical being. but Kraken or Giant squid, also includes marine animals, although the size is not as big as described. If we consider the enormous squid's size to be amazing. The Colossal Squid is the only creature you should then introduce. "Mesonychoteuthis Hamilton", is the name given to this organism in Latin. Some experts think that these monsters can reach a length of at least 14 meters. It is the world's longest invertebrate animal as a result. Scientists are unsure of how long these animals can develop though. The Colossal Squid is unquestionably the main suspect if there is a Kraken out there. The Kraken mythology is currently seen to be most plausibly explained by the hypothesis of a huge squid or octopus.
