Iam just searching for the exact location of Luz. I know the bible says that Jacob called the that place Bethel but the name of it was called Luz at first. Has anyone pinpointed the exact location of Bethel or Luz?

[edit] Bones
I removed two paragraphs about Bones from this article about Biblical places. They should probably be reproduced somewhere, but I don't know where:
- There is a small bone in the body at the base of the spinal column called the Luz bone (some identify this bone as the coccyx) from which the body will be rebuilt at the time of resurrection. Muslims and Jews share the belief that this bone does not decay. Muslim books refer to this bone as "^Ajbu al-Thanab" --(عَجْبُ الذَّنَب). In Judaism, Rabbi Joshua Ben Hananiah replied to Hadrian, as to how man revived in the world to come, "From Luz, in the back-bone."
One of the two small bones at the base of the right great toe (the tibial sesmoid) is also named Luz. It was felt by the Greeks to be the seat of the soul.

In fact, the location of the bone is in the neck area. The Arabs beliefs are wrong on this. This is better information: http://www.sichosinenglish.org/books/to-live-and-live-again/14.htm#n381
