"We've found some
stone structures which are clearly man-made," expedition leader Alok
Tripathi told the AFP news agency. "They're perfect rectangular blocks,
arranged in a clear pattern."
The ancient "gifts" of the tsunami are expected to be
presented to an international seminar on maritime archaeology in Delhi next
month. Other discoveries made at Mahabalipuram earlier this month include a
granite lion of a similar age to the temple that experts believe had been
buried for centuries before the tsunami shifted the sand.
Archaeologists
have been working at the site for the last three years, since another diving
expedition discovered what appeared to be a submerged city, including at
least one temple.
India finds more 'tsunami gifts'
From
BBC NEWS: February 27, 2005
Divers have been scouring the site for three years
Indian divers have found more evidence of an ancient port city, apparently
revealed by December's tsunami.
Stone structures that are "clearly man-made" were seen on the seabed off the
south coast, archaeologists say.
They could be part of the mythical city of Mahabalipuram, which legend says
was so beautiful that the gods sent a flood that engulfed six of its seven
temples.
Other relics were revealed when the powerful waves washed away sand as they
smashed into the Tamil Nadu coast.
'Clear pattern'
The Archaeological Survey of India launched the diving expedition after
residents reported seeing a temple and other structures as the sea pulled
back just before the tsunami hit.
Experts say a lion revealed by the tsunami is from the 7th Century
The new finds were made close to the 7th Century beachfront Mahabalipuram
temple, which some say is the structure that survived the wrath of the gods.
"We've found some stone structures which are clearly man-made," expedition
leader Alok Tripathi told the AFP news agency.
"They're perfect rectangular blocks, arranged in a clear pattern."
The ancient "gifts" of the tsunami are expected to be presented to an
international seminar on maritime archaeology in Delhi next month.
Other discoveries made at Mahabalipuram earlier this month include a granite
lion of a similar age to the temple that experts believe had been buried for
centuries before the tsunami shifted the sand.
Archaeologists have been working at the site for the last three years, since
another diving expedition discovered what appeared to be a submerged city,
including at least one temple.
The myths of Mahabalipuram were first written down by British traveller J
Goldingham who was told of the "Seven Pagodas" when he visited in 1798.

PVAF REQUESTS YOUR SHARING OF YOUR
KNOWLEDGE FROM YOUR STUDY OF veD KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS ARCHEOLOGICAL FIND IN
THE CRADLE OF KNOWN HUMAN CIVILIZATION NOW CALLED bhaart (INDIA)......
The
sNskRUt language word "bhaart
vARSH" is mentioned in many texts of
veD that are existent....
Most translators or interpreters of these
veD texts take this
bhaart vARSH to mean the lands of
India. This is the same type of inference as goes with the translation of
the word "pRuthvi" meaning earth
whereas pRuthvi means pRUthvii-lok
in veD texts...
But if one reads carefully it appears that
bhaart vARSH was a sub-domain in
pRUthvii-lok which is one of the
14-lok (domains) that is created by pRjaapti
bRH`maa for all His creations residing, sustenance and
recycling oneself in birth-death life journey to receive one's
kARm-fl from all previous
life-journeys.
So what is bhaart-vARSH?
It cannot be just India...
