Go new, more than one will say. We knew so much!

The Ness Lake monster, Nessie, is the most famous monster in the world. Everything has been said about its origin and nature and many people have been enriched at the expense of legend. Today, Italian scientist Luigi Piccardi will explain in Scotland his theory about what happens in Loch Ness, 150 kilometers from the monster's residence.

The theory of this geologist has not of course left the slightest surrender to fantasy. Loch Ness is crossed by a fault and, according to the Italian researcher, Nessie is only a fault activity.

The first legends about the monster arose among the ancient Scottish peaks. The peaks left on the rocks the first images of the monster, but the first written mention was the XVI. Dependent. In it reference is made to a dragon who arrived and went with a great sound. In the appearance of Nessi in 1933, witnesses discovered that the surface of the water was moving violently and that the culprit was a gigantic submerged being.

Time has only increased the legend, although the lies have been great. For example, footprints discovered in 1933 were built with the feet of a hippopotamus. Known photograph taken in 1934, in which is seen the long hill of the monster, the author recognized at the time of death that he was a toy submarine dressed with the head of a snake.

Piccar believes that all appearances of the monster can be explained through the activity of failure and, in reality, it seems a quite sensible theory. However, there are those who blindly believe that Nessie is a reality, among serious scientists and that it has enriched itself at the expense of the monster.
