Thank You for posting this! Yes these are the current mainstream views on the subject and they are most likely correct for the time period they are looking for. Again, they are likely correct. But, the standard fare line for the masses is that science loves for their theories to be overturned. So perhaps other theories should be at least considered in the spirit of investigating truth and following the evidence where it leads, that is the science I know and love.
What appears to be Hebrew pottery has indeed been found at these locations, but it needs to be more carefully studied by qualified people before it can be confirmed.
By the way, none of the locations I will show you are movie sets.
More will be coming this week.
Which locations? What pottery? Dated to when? Can you please provide links to the reputable and non-religious sources for this so called "Hebrew pottery" proving the existence of the "exodus"?
Also, if your biblical story is to be believed, 70 or so descendants of Jacob become 600,000 in 4 generations. I should not have to point out the impossibility of this. Not to mention that there is no proof those 600,000 or so abled bodied persons managed to escape Egypt and no record was ever made of it by those they escaped from and no evidence exists that they were there and that they escaped and trekked so far.
There is absolutely no archaeological evidence to support your or the Biblical contention. Far from it.
Evidence exists of Egyptian labourers, paid labourer's who were paid well, and well housed and maintained, who built the pyramids. Which directly contradicts the bible version of Israelite slaves who were not even in Egypt at the time and there is no evidence that they were in Egypt during that period. Absolutely none. No hieroglyphics
Yes that is correct, NW Saudi Arabia. I think possibly, Tabuk Province, but I will have to find a way to check the boundary on that Province to make sure.
If you wish, you can either click on the internet link below, which will take you to Google Maps, or copy and paste the coordinates below into the search box of Google Earth. Either will take you to the proposed site and then you can just zoom out and see where you are in Saudi Arabia. Google Earth is more 3D friendly.
Mount Sinai is in Egypt. You are claiming that the so called golden calf that you linked the google map to is located at Mount Sinai. To get to it from Mount Sinai, you need to cross a hell of a lot of sand and then swim across the Gulf of Aqaba.
While the cow rock art you posted is located in Saudi Arabia, Mount Sinai is not located anywhere near there. Far from it.
So your biblical story falls in the water then and there. And you are very very wrong to claim that it is located at Mount Sinai as you have done for each of the pictures of what you declared was the altar when you posted it.
Now, about the so called golden calf you have been trying to peddle in this thread.
It was discovered by a man called
Ron Wyatt. A former nurse who also claimed to have discovered Noah's Ark, the Ark of the Covenant, the Tower of Babel, Noah's grave stone and a host of other stories as told in the bible. My favourite is when he declared he discovered a drop of Jesus' blood. In short, your so called altar of the golden calf was found by a deranged man who went around looking for things that looked exactly as they appeared in Christian books he'd read. The man was a known fraud.
Ron Wyatt referred to Jabal al-Lawz, where the bovine petroglyphs are located as being the biblical Mount Sinai. It is not.
Saudi Arabia has some of the most diverse and numerous rock art and petroglyphs in the world. And
it is extensive.
Bovines, along with domestic and non-domestic animals feature strongly around many many sites in Saudi Arabia. Sadly, the site at Jabal al-Lawz, what you are claiming is the biblical Mount Sinai, had to be fenced off because of the likes of Ron Wyatt and his sons clomping all over it and endangering vital and important rock art that deserves to be protected.
Ron Wyatt was expelled numerous times from Saudi Arabia, after entering the country without permission to search for the fabled altar. He was denounced as a fraud from all quarters, even his own church saw him as a fraud.
