Ancient city discovered in India

After tsunami, ruins found

"MAHABALIPURAM - Indian archaeologists have found what they believe are undersea 'stone structures' that could be the remains of an ancient port city off India's southern coast, officials say.


"The archaeologists learnt of the structures after locals reported spotting a temple and several sculptures when the sea pulled back briefly just before deadly tsunamis smashed into the coastline December 26."
