What has been discovered beneath the surface is excellent though Jon and should now possibly be excavated, especially the claimed mortuary enclosure.


Possibly. The concern about excavation would always be that someone would excavate with a view to proving X (eg mortuary in this instance) and, while doing that, destroy the evidence for Y (other explanations for what might have happened)

So to excavate, in my opinion, you have to establish a potential social benefit to doing excavation other than the entertainment value of knowing whether or not the fanciful explanation is true.
