That's okay, but "the temple" would be better.

Rewrite that as three sentences.

Try:

After walking around the ancient city, the archaeologists spotted a temple dating from the fifteenth century B.C. and then decided to explore the temple. As the exploration progressed the archaeologists found a sacred room of this temple. Upon entering the sacred room, the archaeologists saw some fragments of some statues on the ground. Soon after that, the workmen began digging, and they soon discovered the body of a statue.

You can't separate "on" from the rest of the phrase.

on (upon) entering the sacred room = when they entered the sacred room

Perhaps:

The archaeologists reconstructed the fragments carefully. They were astonished to find that it was the goddess. The goddess stood three feet tall and rested her hands on her hips. She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the floor. Despite her great age, she is graceful.

Even though they were hoping to find her, they were surprised to find the statue called the goddess.
