Nothing could be seen above ground of the sunken sanctuary except a strong wooden hut, of the sort recently run up for many military and official purposes, the wooden floor of which was indeed a mere platform over the excavated cavity below.
Здесь, наверху, о существовании подземного святилища свидетельствовала лишь крепкая дощатая будка, какие нередко строят для военных и прочих государственных надобностей; деревянный пол ее, вернее, настил, был потолком раскопанного подземелья.

And its terse description probably ex plained why: Unmarked marble obelisk, excavated in Tanis, dated to the late dynastic period (26th Dynasty, 615 B.C).
И его краткое описание, вероятно, объясняло, почему это произошло: «Мраморный обелиск без надписей, обнаруженный при раскопках в Танисе, предположительно относящийся к периоду Нового царства (26 – я династия, 615 год до н. э.)».
