A vast, centuries-old temple deep within the mound is the largest yet discovered from that period in the Levant but its purpose and rituals -- including several large, perfectly round black stone altars just a few inches high -- are unknown.

Fascinating - although I have a slight feeling of superstitious dread when ancient things come to light. Some archaeologists have some odd stories about Fortean events at such sites.

Wouldn’t it be apropos, if the artifacts and temple were found to be associated with supernatural powers, and the worldly powers became so envious of its possession for them, all to march upon the same location and battle for its possession, only to further unlock its deadly powers upon themselves?

Another Hollywood movie theme.
