Did the Biblical Exodus ever happen?

As I said, Far as I can tell, I am by no means saying I am right, I have only looked on GE. It is a moot point anyway, Wyatt is wrong. JMO

I guess I was only putting out evidence, or claims of, I had encountered before, not that Buzz would agree with my location. I dont know?.

I should've probably never said a thing.

Google must have a bug in the embedded maps now. I tried to fix it so it's centered properly by going back to Google Maps and getting the embedded text again, but it just does the same thing.

Where are you finding the elevation information? What I said was based on just inspecting the satellite image. If you look at it there doesn't appear to be a mountain there, and pretty much dead center is what looks like a wash, i.e., low lying area where sediment/sand gathers.

Percy, if you go to N 28.843 E 34.966 in Google Earth it will display the elevations at the bottom of the page. Just be careful as there are two elevations shown, one is the ground elevation, the other is 'eye' elevation, the height you are viewing it from.

AbE:

But also note that it is not the highest in Saudi Arabia by a long shot, in fact it is tenth highest.

See Message 600.

Google Earth, as i have said i dont know how accurate it is, it is spot on with my GPS at my location.

One of features of Google earth is depth/elevation. It is the status bar selection in the view menu. If your status bar is on it will show you elevation + or - above/below sea level, at the bottom of screen.

Admin writes: Hi Buz, Let's be very clear about your evidence. You believe that if one could enter that region of Saudi Arabia that Mount Sinai would be identifiable because it is the highest mountain, it has a blackened top unlike other mountains in the region, and it has animal carvings at its base unlike other mountains in the region. But you have no material evidence that such a mountain exists in this region of Saudi Arabia. If you agree that this summary is accurate then you're free to move on to the issues of other evidence. If you disagree with this summary then please provide your material evidence.

I've reiterated that other mountains in the region have blackened tops and that what is significant is that there is indeed a blackened top mountain in the successive row of evidences. From the satellite view, in the row of dark top hills or mountains, one seemed to be a little darker than others but it should be the highest one. It is unusual for mountain tops to be black, unless they are volcanic, whether one or a row of them. No? It is enough to satisfy the record, given the more significant corroborated evidences. It's name is Jabal al Lawz.

Remember, Percy, it was you who said, "evidence must be judged in context with other evidence, and it is this complex confluence and interaction of evidence that we assess."

I see this as indirect evidence of sorts rather than direct evidence. Can't you please show a little espect and just be Percy in this thread debating me as with every other member?

Using the map in my earlier post and scrolling out and finding the green arrow, then zooming in on the green arrow, then clicking on "ter" for terrain, the green arrow is dead center on what Google Maps labels Jebel al Lawz, and it appears to be at approximately the same location as your #10 Jabal Mazḩafah.

But though it's only the 10th highest mountain in Saudi Arabia, it does appear to be the highest mountain in that region. At 6190 feet or 1897 meters, it's almost 2000 feet less than Fearandloathing's number, but it's still the highest mountain in the region.

Definitely no sign of a blackened top (though if I squinted I could definitely make out the drawing of the calf ).

Why is unusual for mountain tops to be black? especially given that you've already admitted that there are other mountains in the area that have black tops.

fearandloathing writes: 28deg 39' 14.69" N by 35deg 18" 16.04" E , there is also another place-mark for Sinai/ Jabal al-Lawz 3.76 kilometers north, but I feel the one he refers too is the one I gave coordinates for, looks right, darker top and all. If you use Google earth and cut on mountains layer, and community layers you can find at least 3 in the area that are all labeled as being Sinai. Don't get me wrong, I dont support this line of thought, but I figured I might put the area in question out there so it will be easier to find.

Thanks very much, Fear.

More relative than height is location being in the right area to be supportive to the other corroborating evidences. It should be the highest mount in that immediate region. That would make it more supportive than if it were not, I would assume.

Perhaps Fearandloating will explain the height descrepancy for Jabal al Lawz.

I suppose if one could view all of the mountains in Saudi Arabia, most would not have dark tops. The Genesis record does not mandate the mountain to look black, how massive the fire was or whether the fire spread to the lesser mountains in the range of mountains, especially after thousands of years.

So the allegedly blackened mountain top isn't actually relelvant to your claims?

Why should it need be the highest to be supportive?

I think it's fine that it's the highest in that region, but there's no black top in evidence.

If this is the same mountain that Wyatt identified, how would you test the hypothesis that Wyatt simply looked at a topographical map of the region and picked out the highest one.

--Percy

Let me attempt a map again, this time after updating Chrome and using Google Earth instead:

View Larger Map

There, that's better. Ignoring the parts that are obviously shadows, it does appear darker at the top, as do all the other nearby mountains. Looks geological in origin, the geologic layers of mountains at higher elevations being remnants of the same ancient terrain.

I'm not seeing elevations in either Google Maps or Google Earth, can you step me through what you're doing?

--Percy

Buz, I am simply testing the claims you have made.

So far I see NO supportive evidence of an Exodus ever happening.

The mountain you and Wyatt have picked out shows no signs of being burned, no blackened top, little to make it any different than any other.

The rock does not have a single calf on it and no indication it was ever an altar.

There is no evidence the rock is even near the mountain.

And all you do is continue to make stuff up and stick it in the story.
