I think Ron Wyatt used to enjoy pursuing these sorts of controversies but I remember that for me he used to pose more questions than answers. Here is a good link that helps act as a counter-balance to what has been proposed as the newly discovered site of Mt Sinai in Saudi Arabia...and the site of the Red Sea crossing.... http://www.ldolphin.org/sinai.html I find that the author is an open sort of a guy with an inquiring mind and is willing to accept fresh evidence but not at any cost. To pick up one small point...the idea that the top of Mt Sinai would be scorched because of the burning presence of the L-rd ....is not necessarily true. When the L-rd appeared to Moses in the burning bush it was not consumed...and as far as I understand it there is never the impression of intense heat in the presence of G-d.

If you recount the numbers bearing that in mind, you get a figure of about 30,000 or 35,000, which seems a more reasonable number for logistical purposes...........

I am not convinced either way...not regarding the pop. figures nor the location of Mt Sinai...but in lieu of more substantial evidence I hold lightly the traditional findings until they are superceded by irrefutable evidence....but like you say there is a great deal of fun/enjoyment/revelation to be had in Exodus and inspired guess work can often hint at some deeper truths.

It's called The Exodus Case. http://www.prophecyinthenews.com/exodus.htm [Also the link talks about a video called The Exodus Revealed. How could Moses hide in the Sinai Pensinula if the Egyptians guarded the Sinai Penisula so heavily becaus of is gold or silver? The Holy Bible keeps saying the Israelites ''went out of Egypt'' and when Jethro's daugters report Moses to their father he's called ''an Egyptian'' and the Sinai Penisula is part of Egypt.
