Something Good Came From The Tsunami
Yes, believe it or not. According to this article, not only were ruins of an ancient city seen as the waves pulled back before the initial waves, but as six feet of beach was scrubbed away by the tides, it uncovered boulders carved with animals, gods, and servant girls.
Needless to say, archaeologists are excited. And with these discoveries, something else important was brought back to the area -- tourists. Tourists arriving means more cash coming into the area...monies desperately needed for rebuilding, etc. Tourism also means more jobs, and with so many people needed to re-establish their lives, this is a blessing.
Pretty damn cool, eh?
