This is from Yahoo news:
Three rocky structures with elaborate carvings of animals have emerged near the coastal town of Mahabalipuram, which was battered by the Dec. 26 tsunami.
I wonder if there are carving of strange frog like creatures.
LOL
So Lovecraft was more of a prophet than entertainer, eh?
Is this news true, AlexB? Have any links?
I'm with the Monkey, hit us with a link.
Skaboi - you ever *doubted* he was a prophet?
Here's a link I found. No signs of "That Who Must Not Be Named...."

"That Which Must Not Be Named," or "He Who Must Not Be Named." Pick one and stick with it, brother!
Sorry, my inner grammar Nazi punched me while I wasn't looking and escaped for a minute.
Bro R,
I knew someone would lambast me for that. :) It's been a while since I read Lovecraft.
It was all over the news. This is from the BBC site. Only elephant carvings are mentioned, though. BTW did any anyone had strange dreams of octopus like thingies on the 26th?
Tsunami throws up India relics
By Soutik Biswas
BBC News, Delhi
The relics have been buried under the sand for centuries
The deadly tsunami could have uncovered the remains of an ancient port city off the coast in southern India.
Archaeologists say they have discovered some stone remains from the coast close to India's famous beachfront Mahabalipuram temple in Tamil Nadu state following the 26 December tsunami.
They believe that the "structures" could be the remains of an ancient and once-flourishing port city in the area housing the famous 1200-year-old rock-hewn temple.
Three pieces of remains, which include a granite lion, were found buried in the sand after the coastline receded in the area after the tsunami struck.
Undersea remains
"They could be part of the small seaport city which existed here before water engulfed them. They could be part of a temple or a building. We are investigating," says T Sathiamoorthy of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
Archaeologists say that the stone remains date back to 7th Century AD and are nearly 6ft tall.
They have elaborate engravings of the kind that are found in the Mahabalipuram temple.
The temple, which is a World Heritage site, represents some of the earliest-known examples of Dravidian architecture dating back to 7th Century AD.
The monument also has gigantic open air reliefs hewn out from granite.
