The precise location of the ancient great Ekhulkhul temple is unknown[78] and no certain archaeological evidence of it has yet been found.[15] It is likely that one of the major medieval buildings of Harran displaced the Elkhulkhul and were constructed on top of it, either the Harran Castle or the Grand Mosque.[52] Writings from the Islamic period contradictingly claim that the castle[79] or the mosque[80] were the converted moon temple.[80] The castle being on the site of the ancient temple is further supported by its higher elevation[52] whereas the mosque is further supported by the finds of Babylonian inscriptions and four stelae of Nabonidus among its ruins.[81] These inscriptions and stelae directly mention the Elkhulkhul. Additionally, the remains of an ancient altar with moon iconography have also been recovered from the ruins of the mosque.[82] As a result, the mosque enjoys more scholarly support as the most likely site of the ancient temple.[82][83][84][85]
