  • The photograph displayed below isn't a skeleton of a mermaid (or anything else) recently unearthed in Bulgaria. It's the product of a double photo manipulation in which a genuine photograph was digitally altered by one party, and then another party inserted additional elements into the photograph that were not present in either the original or the first manipulated version: This image started out as a rather ordinary photograph of a human skeleton excavated during an archaeological dig in Ireland: This faux image was then altered again to add the figure of Professor Dimitrov in the lower left foreground and circulated with text claiming it represented an ancient skeleton of a mermaid recently unearthed in Bulgaria: That picture was likewise altered to add a fish-like skeletal tail structure and then submitted as an entry to a Worth1000 competition, where it took third place in the Archaeological Anomalies 3 category: (en)
