Gold
https://www.jstor.org/stable/43200242
There is a great deal of symbolism, meaning, and myth relating to gold but in The Goddess Aped, the most important meaning is that of the golden womb and symbol of the goddess.
Someone who knew their Bible must have named the mine in Nevada because it shares the same name and was the location of some unusual skulls coated in silver. Or perhaps it is the origin of the mythic gold that was imported to the Middle East or where some of the Ophirs landed.
