Thyagarajan Satyamurthy Quotations

We could never study an ancient tsunami without having some man-made materials surviving from that time. This temple is our link to that.

We didn't know what (the deposits) meant, because we never studied the possibility of a tsunami. That angle never occurred to us.

Our discovery now poses very interesting questions not only about ancient Tamils but also about the history of tsunami.

This is the earliest temple discovered in this region so far.
