Sunken City Found Off Of India

Raindeer writes "A city only known from old myths about seven pagodas and thought by Western scientists not have existed, was found off the coast of India. The myths speak of six temples submerged beneath the waves with the seventh temple still standing on the seashore. The myths also state that a large city once stood here which was so beautiful the gods became jealous and sent a flood that swallowed it up entirely in a single day. " With the purported discovery of a city off of Cuba, as well as the the finding of Herakleion underwater archaeology is doing well.

There is also no country (in the "western" world anyway) which I am aware of which is as insular and generally unaware of the outside world as the US.

Don't be an idiot. I am really sick of Europeans who think "awareness of the outside world" means "can point to my hometown on a map." Jesus Christ. What, you know more about France than most Americans? Fantastic. I know more about Mexico than most Europeans. Big fucking deal. Can you all just get your head out of your collective asses and realize that the world does not revolve around you and your oh-so-important history and culture?

And by the way, this is coming from a person with a degree in Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies who visits Europe as often as his budget allows.
