“Sinai”, as in “Mount Sinai”?
Yes absolutly, and yes to your other question to, the old testament is a history book with most of the earlier stuff borrowed from much older Sumerian and Acadian writings. If you are really interested in this history and noty just hung up on Christianeyt that came much later, but buildt on the older history, you might start with reading “The 12th. Planet” by Zakaria Sitchin, he has studied this stuff since boyhood and he passed away earlier this year, his writing explains a lot of things without destroying \christian teaching and he explain how inteligent design and evolution are not mutualy exclusive, you might be interesting in reading a early \sumerian text about the creation called “Enuma Elish” my copy was translated around 1895 or so, we are away with family for Christmas, so can’t check spelling if names,m but if you google it you will find it ok.try “Sitchin.com” good luck and have fun
