Massive Earthquake Reveals Entire Island Civilization Called 'Haiti'PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI—Less than two weeks after converging upon the site of a devastating magnitude 7.0 earthquake, American anthropologists have confirmed the discovery of a small, poverty-stricken island nation, known to its inhabitants as "Haiti."
A couple of other excerpts from the full article, which is definitely worth reading in it's entirety:
According to Coughlin, the Haitian civilization was discovered on the night of Jan. 12, when relief workers were rushed to several resorts in the Dominican Republic to see if any American tourists had been injured in the quake. During an aerial tour of the island of Hispaniola, members of the Red Cross noticed signs of human life coming from Haiti.
Added Oliver, "Had it not been for this earthquake, I doubt we would have ever noticed Haiti at all."
