The Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 uncovered parts of the lost port city Mahabalipuram, the capital of a powerful kingdom that traded with China, Roma, Greece, Arabia, and Egypt some 1,500 years ago. It is said that the capital was kodalkol or “swelled by the sea” at the height of its glory. The place was already being investigated by archaeologists when the receding waves before the tsunami revealed a temple structure and several rock sculptures.
