Underwater Temple from ‘Indiana Jones Civilization’ Discovered
SHARE

Archaeologists have recently made a groundbreaking discovery off the coast of Italy near Naples. They have uncovered the remains of an ancient temple that was built by Arabian immigrants from the Nabataean culture over 2,000 years ago. The temple, which was submerged underwater, was found near Pozzuoli, a town in the volcanic Campi Flegrei region.

The discovery of this temple sheds light on the rich history of the Nabataean Kingdom, which extended from northern Arabia to the eastern Mediterranean. The Nabataeans were known for their control over a flourishing trade network that dealt in luxury goods such as incense, gold, ivory, and perfumes. The main god in the ancient Nabataean religion, Dushara, was worshipped in this temple, as indicated by inscriptions found on marble slabs within the structure.

The temple’s unique blend of Nabataean religious practices with Roman architecture and Latin inscriptions highlights the cultural exchange and integration that took place in ancient Puteoli, the Roman port city where the temple was located. Puteoli served as a major hub for trade in the Roman world, attracting traders and immigrants from diverse regions, including the Nabataeans.

The discovery of this submerged temple has provided valuable insights into the history of the Nabataean Kingdom and its interactions with the Roman Empire. The deliberate burial of the temple in the second century A.D. with a mix of concrete and broken pottery suggests a turbulent period marked by the collapse of Nabataean control over the inland caravan trade in Arabia.

Overall, this discovery underscores the importance of underwater archaeology in uncovering hidden histories and enriching our understanding of ancient civilizations. The findings from this excavation have added a new chapter to the story of the Nabataean Kingdom and its legacy in the Mediterranean region.
