different vantage points armed with cameras, and "Operation Deepscan," a 1987 venture that included
24 sonar-equipped boats that scanned the lake floor” (Conners). The entire lake was searched
thoroughly, but nothing that resembled the Loch Ness Monster appeared on the sonar. A creature as
large as some describe it should appear on the sonar almost instantaneously, but it never does. “The
most famous purported photo of the Loch Ness monster was taken in 1934 by Robert Kenneth Wilson, a
London gynecologist. Wilson sold his photo to the Daily Mail, but refused to have his name associated
with it, and it became known as the "Surgeon's Photograph." In 1975, the Sunday Telegraph published
an article claiming that Wilson's photo was faked” (Huffington Post). The photo raised everyone's
suspicions and started the era of Nessie hunting, but it was nothing more than a joke. Technology does
not lie, and it also provides concrete results.
Undoubtedly, the sightings of Nessie date
back to 565 AD, the beast still makes
“appearances” in the 21st century. “Way back in
the 7th century AD, a Scottish monk wrote a book
about St. Columba, who (a century before) had
stumbled upon the burial of a man who had
been attacked and killed by a "water beast" in
the vicinity of Loch Ness” (Strauss). How could a
creature from ancient times, such as 565 AD, still
be spotted today? No creature on this earth has
the life expectancy to live 1,500 years. There are those who conjecture that the beast has been dodging
extinction by reproduction. If this were to be the case, there would be quite a few Loch Ness Monsters
