Loch Ness monster emerges

- The Loch Ness monster is finally found after decades. At least, a nine-meter-high imitation version of the sample: a piece of scenery from a Sherlock Holmes film from the sixties of the last century. The fake Nessie was found by an underwater robot, almost fifty years after the 'monster' sank to the bottom.

The nepmonster was made in 1969 for a Sherlock Holmes film: The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, with Christopher Lee and Robert Stephens. This is the first time that the decor piece is defined by an underwater robot. The robot, controlled by the Norwegian company Kongsberg Maritime, was working on his routine to search the lake when he stumbled on Nessie.

'We found a monster, but not the monster that people were expecting,' said Loch Ness expert Adrian Shrine told BBC. 'The original model was built with a neck and two humps. The director wanted to have removed the two humps, despite the warning that he would lose his buoyancy. And that's what happened. The Nessie model sank to the bottom of Loch Ness. '
