Archaeologists say Mount Sinai where Moses received revelations is in Saudi Arabia

RIYADH – According to the Bible, Musa at Mount Sinai received the Ten Commandments, a set of God-ordained principles. The mountain is considered a sacred place in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

However, many historians and archaeologists doubt its historicity, saying there is no conclusive evidence to prove its existence.

“Mount Sinai, where the Prophet Moses spoke to God, really exists and is located in Saudi Arabia,” said a group of archaeologists from the Doubting Thomas Research Foundation (DTRF), a non-profit organization that investigates the history of the Bible record in a report released by Sputnik News on Monday ( 4/10/2021).
