Two jaw bones of animals with gilded teeth are the unique discovery of an excavating expedition at the ancient town of Beth Shemash where a sun temple once probably stood. The find was made by Dr. Grand. The excavators are of the opinion that the jaw bones are the remains of sacrificial animals and that the priests gilded their teeth for ritualistic purposes. While some believe the bones to be part of the Sun God himself others incline to the belief that the teeth became gilded by some chemical substance in the earth where they lay so long.
