Likely not the true Mt Sinai location but I agree Israel should have held on to it. Mt Sinai is more likely located in Saudi Arabia Mt Sinai
The problem with the traditional site is several. One being even then that would have had Israel still in Egypt as the Sinai even then was part of Egypt. Another problem is space. Not big enough for the twelve tribes at the traditional site. The crossing at the Strait of Tiran where the Gulf of Aqaba narrows makes sense. I've looked at some satellite photos of the area where it is believed Israel crossed and it too makes sense specially with a Divine Miracle to part the waters at that point. A forty year wilderness stint in Saudi Arabia also makes more sense. Moses was not a stranger to that area but Israel was.
Thanks for the link. I checked it out, and found it very interesting.
Many Turkish Muslims believe that the Mt. Sinai referred to in the Old Testament is indeed in Saudi Arabia.
