I thought it was interesting that the part about the fish coming out of the sea was dismissed as made up, where it was the one part I could see as obviously true. This is a salmon (or salmonoid) migration, with the fish jumping over rapids (or just jumping, which they do to loosen eggs). The area of the Caspian and the mountains of Georgia used to have migrations of a strain of brown trout noted for their size. And they may have had a salmon population. |
