Abstract: 

On July 8, 1967, French archaeologist Maurice Dunand unearthed a 2,300-years-old, foot tall marble bull’s head from a site at the foot of the Temple of Eshmun in Sidon, Lebanon. Dunand, the director of the Mission Archéologique Française in Lebanon at the time, was leading a state-sponsored excavation of the Eshmun site.
