Archaeologists have uncovered the ruins of a 2,000-year-old temple believed to have been built by an ancient civilisation featured in Indiana Jones. Remains of ancient altars and inscribed marble slabs were discovered submerged underwater along the Italian coast, near Naples, having likely laid undisturbed for millennia.

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.

Despite its fame, an archaeological dig conducted by American and Jordanian researchers uncovered a hidden tomb featuring 12 human skeletons.

An ancient temple made by Arabian immigrants from the Nabataean culture has finally been found off the Italian coast near Naples.
