Greek and Latin records also say this is the place where Julius Caesar wept bitterly before a representation of Alexander the Great and where the Carthaginian conqueror Hannibal went to offer thanks for the success of his military campaign a century and a half earlier, El Pais reports.Īnd now the mythical temple may have been found after centuries of searching. Pictured is Hercules slaying a dragon while taking the three Golden Apples from the Garden of the Hesperides, one of his twelve labors Hercules completed the twelve labors as penance for killing his wife Megara and five children after he was driven insane by Hera, who is the goddess of family and wife of Zeus. The team identified a rectangular structure 984 feet long and 492 feet wide, the same measurements of the island where the temple once stood, which contains aberrations that could be ancient ruins. This technology uses a remote sensing method to examine the surface of the Earth by firing lasers at the ground and measuring time for the reflected light to return to the receiver.
Researchers at Seville University in southern Spain located traces of a monumental building in the Sancti Petri channel, a coastal and intertidal area of the Bay of Cádiz between Chiclana de la Frontera and San Fernando using Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR).
Known as the Temple of Hercules Gaditanus, it is mentioned in ancient records dating back as far as the ninth century BC and archaeologists believe a collection of submerged structures are the long-lost temple. Ancient Greeks and Romans, including the famous dictator Julius Caesar, are said to have traveled to a temple in the Bay of Cádiz, Spain and prayed for strength from the god Hercules - and archaeologists believe they found ruins of the legendary shrine.
