Mt Sinai Discovered
By Ralph Ellis
I think it's very ironic that the person who wrote the article is Christian and a true believer... and apparently doesn't study his Bible. As was
pointed out, Sinai was reached after crossing the Red Sea, and from the top of the mountain they could see "the promised land."
From the top of the pyramid (if you could get there), you can see... Cairo.
The Jews moved into the promised land after Moses' death. There was no appreciable Jewish population in Cairo in historic times.
Moses is buried on Mt. Sinai, not in a huge shrine.
From the Egyptian side, it's even more problematic. Giza isn't one pyramid -- there are at least nine plus chapels and a huge graveyard. The
pyramids are named (the Great Pyramid is "Khufu's Ahket"), as recorded by Herodotus and none of the Egyptian traditions of that area is vaguely
Jewish. In order to "climb Mt. Sinai/GP" the thing would have had to be there already, and I can't see the Egyptian priests (and the people around
the countryside) allowing 10,000 Jews to go marching up the slick, polished limestone side of a huge monument just to go stand at the top and gawk.
The author of this piece really should do a better job of reading their Bible.
