Archaeologists uncover ruins of 2,000 year old temple built by ancient civilisation featured in Indiana Jones - Remains of ancient altars and inscribed marble slabs were discovered underwater

The religious temple was located off the coast of Puteoli, which is modern-day Pozzuoli, and is thought to be the first known temple discovered that was built by the Nabataeans outside of the Middle East.

Discovery Channel’s popular show “Expedition Unknown” was recently on site to document the discovery of 12 human skeletons and artifacts dating back at least 2,000 years, which had all been long hidden beneath the famed Khazneh (or “Treasury”) in Petra. The colossal find was accomplished by a team lead by archaeologist Pearce Paul Creasman.

In the remains of the temple, archaeologists found inscribed marble slabs and ancient altars near the coast of Puteoli
