Further research could lead to more information on whether the tunnel will be able to guide archaeologists to the long-lost tombs.
Next, explorations of the nearby Mediterranean Sea will be taking place. A series of earthquakes struck the coast between 320 and 1303 C.E., causing a portion of the temple to collapse and become lost to the waves.
Even if the tunnel does not lead to the tombs, it has yielded a variety of treasures, such as pottery pieces and a block of limestone, that will tell experts more about the ancient city.
