Finally in the late nineteenth century the temple was rediscovered by John Turtle Wood, an architect, who was given funding by the British Museum. The team of Wood, after a prolonged search of six years, found the entire foundation of the temple and the remains of some of the sculpted portions of the temple which can now be seen at the British Museum.
