Tsunami Uncovers Ancient City

According to Fox News:

MAHABALIPURAM, India — Archaeologists have begun underwater excavations of what is believed to be an ancient city and parts of a temple uncovered by the tsunami (search) off the coast of a centuries-old pilgrimage town.

Three rocky structures with elaborate carvings of animals have emerged near the coastal town of Mahabalipuram (search), which was battered by the Dec. 26 tsunami.

As the waves receded, the force of the water removed sand deposits that had covered the structures, which appear to belong to a port city built in the seventh century, said T. Satyamurthy, a senior archaeologist with the Archaeological Survey of India.
