The true Hmong Myth behind "Zaj hav dej"
« on: May 05, 2011, 11:25:59 PM »
Somewhere in the 80s in Thailand there were a river lake near Chiengmai. They said that in this lake there were many swimmers that got killed by a "Zaj". No matter how good of a swimmer they are, they will die once they try to swim accross this lake. So far there has been many Hmong great swimmer that died in this lake.

One day a Thai swimmer heard about the story and came over. He then wanted to prove to the hmong that there's no "Zaj" and that hmong are not good swimmer. Therefore, he went in and try to swim accross it. As he got to the middle, he then drawn and disappear and died. The Thai government got involved when they heard about the great Thai swimmer died in the lake. Therefore, they came over and drained the whole lake down to the bottom... and guess what they found.... THree giant Electric EELS...

SO, THERE'S YOUR HMONG ZAJ.. ELECTRIC EELS.

Some people can't handle the truth and they don't want to know the truth.

what you need to prove this theory? ask Michael Phelps to go swim there back and forth and see if he make it back in one piece. Phelps is the true specimen to prove your theory because he's the #1 swimmer. if he fail to come back in one piece damn it Zaj are real but if not your story is a fake and a big FAIL

:2funny:

Buster_me, HmongKnight is trying to tell us how that zaaj haav dlej was debunked.

According to what he wrote, the Thai govt. found 3 giant eels in the lake, so whether it be Michael Phelps or some other great swimmer, their fates would have turned out the same, just like those who passed away in that lake.

Put 3 giants electric eels in a swimming pool and if Michael Phelsp can make it through, then there is such thing as  a "Zaj". But if Michael Phelps can't make it through, then the hmong "Zaj" is nothing but electric eels.

exactly that the proof. if he couldn't make it, no one can. theory solve. Phelps better think he's aiming for the world record if he doesn't want to get swallow up haha

A guy actually got his Ph.D. for doing some research on dragons. After reading about and talking to people around the world, his conclusion: they are no more than a myth but they are fascinating imaginative figures in history.

I don't know why kumodo dragons are called dragons. They are just land lizards to me. We hunted them and ate them back in Laos. There are Hmong CD's and VHS videos of Hmong hutners taking them down as games for foods. Find the videos at your local flea markets. Or they'll be coming there again soon.

Some people can't handle the truth and they don't want to know the truth.
Some ppl FAIL, big time, unless you youreslf had ever encoutered ppl dorwning. You'll only want to believe in what you wanna heard. Zaj has many forms, I guess that the 3 eel wasn't perpare for that. Therefore couldn't go hiding. And got caught.
Knight, was there a mention on how big these eel were?
Or were they just commonly big like the lenght of my legs from hip to toes. Which is about 3-4 ft. I'm 5"5ft.
I've encouter ppl drowning here in MN. There is a famous lake here about ppl drowning, mostly hmong ppl.
