Re: Really off-topic question
Six day war, I went searching for history books, but found nothing of great interest, and I really don't like web-sites for history, too much junk is on the internet.

Re: Really off-topic question
Abe Books have a pile of titles on the Six Day War. Just type that in as the title.

Moses was even told to remove his shoes, as he was standing on "holy ground" (verse 5). So, we now know that Moses was in Midian, in the "backside of the desert", which seems to us to imply the area opposite the main portion of the desert or, the other side of the mountain which provided the border of the desert. We make this assumption simply because in order to have a "backside of the desert", there must be something which marks a separation of the "frontside" and the "backside".
Yeah, I never understood why "The Holy Land" , god's land, the promised land, and all that is so damned crappy.
Why, if it's Holy Land, to Jews Christians and Muslims, is it so arid, rocky, sandy, treeless, salty, and just downright unpleasant?
Why is the Holy Land so crappy as real estate, but at least 2 religions are fighting over who gets to camp there?
I'd say "keep your sandpiles, I'm moving somewhere that's not so hot and dry."

Re: The petroglyphs ...
It is not so much the outward curve as the vertical axis that then turns out. The pictures in the glyphs are far more like members of the antelope family than cattle.

I might be a little late on this one, but the Mt. Sinai in the Sinai peninsula isn't the "real" Mt Sinai. I've been to it and climbed to the top.
The real Mt Sinai is actually on a mountain called Jabal al Lawz in Saudi. There is currently a Saudi missle defense system built around that mountain, so don't bother getting a visa to go visit.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8

Hi Tal.
As I understand it the Mt. Sinai location mike the wiz is talking about in the opening post - Ron Wyatt's "Mt Sinai" - is Jabal al Lawz. Many here dispute the claim it is Mt. Sinai (I'm just a lurker on the issue). It was discussed a lot in the thread The Exodus Revealed" Video II.
P.S. Good to see you post again - I did wonder if something had happened to you as you hadn't posted for a couple of months.

The Tigers roared in Dublin - and I was there.

I'll read up on it a bit later. As far as disputing if Jabal al Lawz is the real Mt Sinai, we'll never know unless the Saudis:
A) Let Archeologists in country to visit. As far as I know you (non Saudis) are only allowed in country for 4 reasons: 1)Visit Mecca 2)Converting to Islam and want to live there forever 3)Business 4)Allied Military on offical busiess.
B) Take down the missle defense base (missle defense shield?) they have built on/around that mountain.
My official opinion is that the current Mt Sinai (The one St Catherine found with the monestary at its base near Sharm El Sheik) is NOT the real Mt Sinai and Jabal Al Lawz is a good candidate. I can't imagine the argument being much more cut and dry than that.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8
