499 Holy Men against the Sea


King Canute reputedly attempted to halt the tide. Upon his failure the English king said, "Let all men know how empty and worthless is the power of kings, for there is none worthy of the name, but He whom heaven, earth, and sea obey by eternal laws."

499 Buddhist, Christian, Islamic and Hindu priests and a Buddha statue are seekign to 'clam the coean' to protect the coast of Thailand from the expectant storm surges threatening Samut Prakan and Bangkok.

Pray away you holy men and turn back the sea.
