Has the place where the biblical golden calf was built revealed? Biblical scholars believe they found the site where Moses shattered the Tablets of the Covenant, after watching the people of Israel celebrating around the golden calf. Experts from the St. Thomas Research Foundation presented evidence to support their claim about the location of the biblical event, and their new findings added to an ongoing study to locate the true location of the biblical Mount Sinai.  In their study, the researchers found evidence that Mount Sinai is Jabal al-Lawz, in Saudi Arabia, near the border with Jordan. They are now reinforcing the claims, that the site near the foot of the mountain seemed to be the perfect place to build the golden calf – and if that’s not enough, there were paintings and numerous engravings of bulls at the site around the suspected area. It was further alleged that the engravings of the bulls also included horns similar to those of the Egyptian bull god Apis. The team claims that this implies the influence of ancient Egypt on those who lived in the area at the time.  The team admits that no evidence of gold has yet been found at the site, and they write: “Local Saudi tradition believes gold is buried under the site – and closer to the foot of the mountain….There is a deep pit with a ladder at the bottom of the mountain, where local Saudis claim government officials hid gold.” Researchers set up the Sinai project in Saudi Arabia, to encourage Saudi authorities to preserve these sites for further investigation and protect them for historical importance.
