The True Mt Sinai Found in Saudi Arabia - Messianic Literary Corner

Christian   biblical archaeologist Ron Wyatt re-discovered the true Red Sea   crossing of the Hebrews in the Gulf of Aqaba at Nuweiba in the Sinai   Peninsula in 1978.  Wyatt also theorized from the biblical account that   the true site of Mt. Sinai (Mt Horeb, Exodus 3.1) and Israel's   encampment must be near the Nuweiba Red Sea crossing in the surrounding   mountains of Midian in Saudi Arabia rather than the traditional Mt  Sinai  site in the Sinai Peninsula. His theory brought him to Jabal al  Lawz, a  mountain long known by its residents to be the site of God's  presence  and Israel's encampment. Thus far the evidence at Jebel el  Lawz fits the  biblical description perfectly.

While   some archaeologists consider Ron Wyatt's accomplishments to be nothing   but fraud and sensationalism, many have examined the evidence and   perceive the truth beyond the personalities and politics of the   profession.

The   top of Jebel el Lawz is scorched black (see above photo).  Investigation  of the rocks in the scorched area show the granite's  natural rock  coloration to exist just below the blackened rock surface.   Only this  mountain peak contains the scorched rock in the entire  Saudi Arabian  mountain range.  The scorching could not occur from a  grass or shrub  fire, since no vegetation has ever existed in this arid  mountainous  area.

At   the base of Jebel el Lawz is evidence of an ancient encampment of an   extremely large proportion.  Within the encampment lies an alter of   large stones with Egyptian animal fertility gods etched upon it.  This   stone alter is possibly the alter where Aaron placed the idolatrous   golden calf for Israel to worship.  See images  below.

Documented  in Wyatt's visits to to Jebel el Lawz in the 1980s and later by Jim and  Penny Caldwell in 1992  is a large rock formation lying within the  encampment which shows  evidence of it being split in two, with marksin  the granite that appear  to be channels cut out by water, and in the  surrounding area, various  depressions that look as though water had  pooled up all over the valley  at some point in time. This rock  formation is probably the rock which  Moses struck to provide the  million or more Hebrews with drinking water.  See photos below.

The   Jabal al Lawz site matches the Biblical Exodus description exactly.   No other proposed site for Mt. Sinai comes close to the Biblical  account. This  study is linked to many  authoritative biblical archaeological websites.  These findings, along  with the Red Sea crossing evidence, will surely  have far reaching  effects on Judaic, Christian and Islamic perspectives  in the future.
