The dead sea is below sea level, this lake is close to 4,000 meters in elevation, one of the highest, deepest lakes on earth. The height of the water is based on a balance between the water flowing in and the water flowing out. We are well aware of the climate in the last 4,000 years, so if this temple is from a period thousands of years before that, then that would be very revolutionary. On the other hand, if the water level was raised in the last 3,000 years then that would almost certainly be the result of rivers flowing out of the lake being damned up.
