9. Tsunami Temples
Long ago, a king refused to worship the great god Vishnu, and was struck down for his arrogance. His children built temples to honour Vishnu and soothe his wrath. As time passed, the temples were lost, becoming myth and legend. One researcher declared empathically that they are: “irrational and cannot be accounted for.”
When the tsunami of December 2004 struck, the lost temples were uncovered, 500 metres out to sea. Research indicates that they were buried by a previous tsunami sometime in the 13th century. So, we have legendary temples, wrathful gods and two natural disasters all tied together in one handy package. Where’s Indiana Jones when you need him?
