Explorers Believe They've Found Mt. Sinai, Complete with Charred Top Where God Gave Moses 10 Commandments

Scholars believe they may have found the place where Moses met with God and received the Ten Commandments, and it’s located in Saudi Arabia.
Ryan Mauro, president of the Doubting Thomas Research Foundation, told The Sun last year, “One of the main reasons certain scholars claim that the Exodus is a myth is because little to no evidence for what the Bible records has been found at the traditional Mt. Sinai in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.”
“But what if these scholars have actually been looking in the wrong spot?” he asked.
“Move over into the Arabian peninsula and you find incredibly compelling evidence matching the biblical account,” Mauro said.
Mauro said in a video released by his foundation in 2018 that the history surrounding the traditional location of Mt. Sinai only dates back to the fourth century A.D.

Further, none of the descriptors in the Bible about the children of Israel’s journey from Egyptian bondage to the mountain of God seem to line up with the modern site.
Not so with the spot Mauro’s team found in Saudi Arabia, which includes the land of Midian referred to in Scripture. As recorded in Exodus 3, God appeared to Moses in the burning bush in Midian at “Horeb, the mountain of God,” also known as Mt. Sinai.
Researchers with Mauro’s foundation traveled to the Arabian Peninsula and identified Jabal Maqla, a peak within the Jabal al-Lawz mountain range, as the likely Mt. Sinai.
The locals actually refer to it as Jebel Musa — the Mountain of Moses. It has a very distinct blackened top.
When Moses brought the children of Israel to the base of Mt. Sinai, where he first met God, it was “wrapped in smoke because the Lord had descended on it in fire. The smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and the whole mountain trembled greatly,” according to Exodus 19.
Mauro pointed out that the first-century Jewish historian Josephus wrote that Mt. Sinai was the highest mountain near a city now called al Bad, which is in northwest Saudi Arabia.
Jabal Maqla fits that bill. ... This article continues with much more archaeological information, and speculation on the importance of this find.
