In Deut. 11:29 YHVH commands Israel to make a memorial of an altar and a plaster engraving of the laws upon Mt.Gerizaim and Mt. Ebal. In Deut. 27:2-3 "And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister: And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law."
In 1980 this site was rediscovered by Israeli archaeologist, Adam Zertal. He found a large rectangular structure about the size of house that was built of large uncut stones with ashes and animal bones from only kosher animals.. You can read the whole article here.
