Is Mt. Sinai the Mountain of YEHOVAH? 29

Upon questioning a Bedouin in the area if this was indeed Jabel El Lawz, Ibrahim Salem
Frich responded with "nahm, Jabel Musa henna!", which means "yes, the MOUNTAIN
OF MOSES IS HERE!"

The Bedouin showed us the REMAINS OF A TEMPLE that, during the reign of
Sulyimin, the Turkish " Sulyimin, the great," has been stripped of cut stone for building
material for a mosque in Hagl. I would have liked to have seen this mosque to ascertain
how many blocks were removed from the site, but time did not permit.

25 rectangular blocks, 16 ½" by 8 1/4," varying in length from 26 1/4" to 39", were scatt-
ered at the site below a RAISED PLATFORM, and 10 pillar sections are visible, varying in
height from 10" to 26" with a 22 3/4" diameter. The TEMPLE PLATFORM represents ¼
of a circle leading from a set of three pools joined to a large rock best described as the size of
an "up-ended" car, which carries slightly incised, esoteric symbols. This site nestles be-
tween TWO MOUNTAINS.

The molecular survey uncovered some interesting remains:

Closer to the wadi, the molecular survey uncovered a line of 12 CIRCLES OF STONE
with an outside diameter of 18 feet,
consisting of three rows of stones
in thickness. It would appear to
this writer that the construction
was not a "shaft grave" or walls for
wells, but the REMAINS OF
STANDING TOWERS. THE 12
were spaced five feet apart from
one another in a straight line bear-
ing 193 degrees magnetic. the elev-
ation at this site is 4,050 feet, some
20 feet above the wadi, 70 feet
below the TEMPLE REMAINS
and less than 1/8 of a mile distance
from THE TEMPLE; from tower
The Charred Top of Jabel el Lawz
number four, JABEL EL LAWZ
bearing 216 degrees and the other
mountain at 270 degrees.

Directly across the wadi, a survey line was followed to a low grouping of stones that were
COVERED WITH PETROGLYPHS in the following manner: an area of the stone was
washed with a substance that was absorbed by the rock about 1/8 of an inch; a
pointed tool was then employed that, when struck against the blackened rock to a depth
of 1/4 of an inch, left a white mark. The artist thus portrayed images of Hathor and Apis,
the Egyptian sacred cows, in dotted outline with their markings, in several cases, six figures
apiece.
