Jan Bartek – AncientPages.com - Mount Sinai, also known as Mount Moses, is a sacred site to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. In the Bible, it is written that God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on this holy mountain. The problem is that the location of this sacred place is shrouded in mystery and no-one knows its true location, and it remains one of many Biblical mysteries.
A group of Biblical scholars who belong to the Doubting Thomas Research Foundation (DTRF) says an ancient Hebrew inscription reveals the location of the sacred site where it is believed that God met Moses.

Is Jabal Maqla In Saudi Arabia The Best Candidate For Mount Sinai?

“There is a long-standing academic consensus that the story of the Exodus is entirely, or almost entirely, a myth.
This conclusion is partially based on research that assumes the traditional candidate for Mount Sinai in the southern part of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula is legitimate. Although some experts believe in the credibility of that tradition, many have come away disappointed with the evidence (or lack thereof) after a great deal of archaeological excavation in the area.


The result has been a widespread rejection of the historicity of the Exodus story and proposals for over a dozen other mountains as possible candidates for Mount Sinai. Some of these candidates are in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, but others are further east in Saudi Arabia,” DTRF scholars write.
DTRF experts have now announced Jabal Maqla located in northeast Saudi Arabia near the border with Jordan is the best candidate for Mount Sinai.

Proto-Hebrew Inscriptions Of The Oldest Menorah

On their website, they have released a series of pictures of what they claim are ancient Hebrew inscriptions found at the site — including what they suggested could be the oldest inscription of a Menorah.
Sputnik News reports, “the scholars believe the presence of these inscriptions is proof that there were speakers of early Hebrew in the area the time.
According to researchers of the DTRF, Dr. Miles Jones, a historical linguist, examined the photographs and said they are believed to be “proto-Hebrew”.


"The Saudis have confirmed that there are hundreds of Thamudic inscriptions in the area around the Jabal Maqla mountain. The archaeologists commissioned by the Saudi government reject the notion that the inscriptions qualify as evidence of the Israelites having been there. However, at least two experts in ancient Hebrew inscriptions are confident that these proto-Hebrew inscriptions at Mount Sinai substantiate the Exodus account," DTRF explained.

DTRF explained “research regarding Jabal Maqla's candidacy has been severely limited due to a lack of access to outsiders, with aspiring visitors being arrested, threatened, harassed and blocked by Saudi security or hostile locals. Doubting Thomas Research Foundation staff are among a tiny group of Westerners who have successfully visited the sites in question.”
In the coming years they “plan more trips to Saudi Arabia, and to other candidates for Mount Sinai, to further investigate evidence of the Exodus.”
