Interesting, but I guess I'm not sure I'd call this a "huge" discovery? The stones are from a temple that dates to roughly the same time as the Nubians reigning as pharaohs, and if I'd just taken over a country and wanted to prove that I was totally legit, building a temple in my kingdom is an easy way to do it. Unless I misinterpreted the article and the huge part wasn't the existence of the temple, it was the age of it.

Ah, so it was the age. Thanks.
