Mt. Sinai in Arabia? It's news to me...last time I saw it it was still in the Sinai peninsula, looming over Santa Catarina monastery.
In any event, the national passion in Israel (next to trying to survive the good intentions of the past US administration) is Archeology. As a scientific treatise, the Bible leaves an awful lot to be desired, but as a chronicle of events it does a reasonable job. Want to know where King Saul consulted with the "Witch of Eindor"? For ten years I lived less than a mile from the site.
Oh, and the old hag wasn't a "witch".....the exact meaning of the original Hebrew is "necromancer".
Want to know where Deborah raised her army? It's right across the highway from the Biblical Ein Dor.
