TSUNAMI WARNINGS WRITTEN IN STONE
In Aneyoshi Japan it is said that this 10feet high stones were erected by ancestors 600 years ago to serve as a warning for future settlers not to exceed the tsunami stones as it was said that previous occurences never exceeded this point.
It is said that residents around this vicinity were able to keep their little community safe from the last tsunami that wiped away hundreds of miles of coast.Its amazing that the water stopped 300feet below the stone.
The tsunami stones are warnings across generations, telling descendants to avoid the same suffering of their ancestors,” said Itoko Kitahara, a specialist in the history of natural disasters at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto. “Some places heeded these lessons of the past, but many didn’t.”
This makes me wonder.......why didnt our ancestors warn us about our leaders? did`nt they forsee the future or they just couldn`t be bothered right?
I find this quite enlightening.
