"One of the challenges for archeologists and researchers such as me is that while there may be lots of oral tradition of Bilikisu Sungbo at this location, no one is allowed to excavate anything as it's a religious site. Therefore we will have to employ other research methods," says Teather.

In other words Voodoo and mysticism trumps science once again. I note the site wasn't so religious that they were forbidden to paint it full of tourist signs in a language not spoken locally.

My guess: not a frigging thing under the cement.

Bing! ??? Cement? In the middle Africa in ancient times? . . . NEXT!

Am I going to get email from Sheba about sharing $40 mil, or that she wants to buy my merchandise for her store in Nigeria and if I take credit cards?

Sheba (also known as Bilikisu Sungbo to those of the Islamic faith), although predating the pedophile filth Mohamed by ~1,000 years,
  would most likely, had she been contemporary, have been stoned to death or beheaded by the savages on some barbaric pretense or other, nevermind ever being Queen of anything . . .
