The Boxing Day tsunami has revealed what archaeologists believe to be the lost ruins of an ancient city off Tamil Nadu in Southern India.

Can't wait for the "Hindu Leader Says Shiva Caused Tsunamis to Reveal Statues"...to add with all the other idiotic "religious" pronouncements regarding this event.

The half-completed sculpted elephant scoured clean by the waves now attracts mobs of visitors who touch its eroded trunk as a good luck talisman.

So, the tsunami that killed 16,000 of their fellow Indians

but revealed this set of sculptures at a temple that was engulfed and destroyed by a similar past tsunami

is good luck

not bad luck

if you rub its lifeless trunk.




Right?! Hold on, just writing down reason number 1,937 why I'm not Hindu.
