Experts believe they’ve finally found one of the holiest sites in the Bible — miles from where it was previously assumed to have existed.
A biblical archaeologist organization, The Doubting Thomas Research Foundation, claims it has found the actual mountain where, according to the Old Testament, Moses lead the Israelites – a mountain that was enveloped in smoke, fire and thunder – and where, at the top, Moses received the Ten Commandments from God.
But in actuality, the society now claims, Mount Sinai, one of the most sacred places in the Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions, is Jabal Maqla, which lies in the Jabal al-Lawz mountain range in northwestern Saudi Arabia.

Featuring amateur archaeologist, enthusiast and multi-award winning investigative filmmaker, Simcha Jacobovici, The Naked Archaeologist is an irreverent, entertaining and eye-opening journey into the fascinating archaeology of the ancient world. Along the way, new discoveries are made, lost treasures revealed, and ancient mysteries uncovered.
For thousands of years people have wondered which peak in the Sinai Peninsula is the legendary mountain where Moses is supposed to have received the 10 commandments. Our investigation demonstrates that the mountain where Popes and tourists trek on pilgrimage is not Mt. Sinai. Using the Bible and archaeology as guides, we identify the only mountain that fits all the Biblical criteria.Discovering The Real Mount Sinai - The Naked Archaeologist 126 - The Real Mount Sinai | March 20, 2019 | TOP BOX TV | YouTube
How did they get across the Gulf of Aqaba?
He’s a classic example of an plainly intelligent, rational person whose intellect is nevertheless rendered chronically clouded and dull due to unbelief and prideful resistance to the light of Christ.
Ask John Kerry, lol jk
How did they get across the Gulf of Aqaba?
How did they get across the Gulf of Aqaba?
So in 2 months they walked to NW Saudi Arabia instead of Mt Sinai?
Still wondering how they got across the Gulf of Aqaba.
So the whole lot of them walked through the Holy Land to get to this Mt in NW Saudi Arabia in 2 months?
Moses parted the Red Sea, so his people would not have had to cross the Gulf of Aqaba. They would have gone from Egypt straight into what is now known as Saudi Arabia.
This Saudi Sinai thing began with that fraud, the late Ron Wyatt.
Look at a map where Jabal Maqla is located
I didn't read this book, but I read the one by his 'partner' (Bob Cornuke, Mountain of Fire), and I agree that their conclusion is compelling. The mountain top looks like it was burned with fire, and there are other features that line up to the Biblical account.
Also, as someone noted, the Arabs have long called this Mountain, 'The Mountain of Moses'.
So I'd have to agree that the likely site of the Mountain of Exodus 20 is the one in Saudi Arabia (Mt. Jawal - or whatever they call it).
I read that years ago. It was a very good book.
Jacobovici raises red flags with me... what has he produced in his career? Confusion as much as anything. (Admittedly, I am less well read these latter years.)
Yeah..I agree with you..
Too much to not agree with....
