A Blog that highlights Archaeological finds and news in South Africa. My aim is to have fun and improve my knowledge and hopefully other people's as well!
Also some fun pieces on Palaeontology, Anthropology and South African History. I will also blog my travel pictures and digs I have been on.

Ancient temple ruins discovered in Sri Lanka
"Jaffna University History Professor K Pusparatnam and Archeological Department students discovered and ancient temple in a ruined state at Kawtharimunai, Pooneryn. The temple was found in a thick jungle enveloped by overgrown banian trees and Palmyra groves."
"A completely ruined Hindu temple about 50 feet in height and 15 feet in width was found among the sand mounds. The temple had been built with coral and lime stones. There were evidence of a parapet wall being built around the temple."
So cool. I wonder if they can find more
