Graves of the 3000

North of the valley in a remote area, a very large ancient graveyard with marking stones is found, with enough room to have buried the thousands who died after the golden calf incident. “Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, who is on the LORD’S side? Let him come unto me. And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men”. Ex 32:26-28 –> Click to Learn More

Golden Calf Altar

A natural outcropping of very large stones with a flat top and 2’ to 4’ rock carvings of cattle chiseled around its base.  Remnants of what may be an altar remain as well.  “And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, these be thy gods, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

Elim and 12 Wells

A beautiful oasis is here with numerous palm trees lying in the direct path of the route leading from the sea to Marah to Elim. From here the route continues to Rephidim and the Split Rock at Horeb. “And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.” Ex 15: 27 –> Click to Learn More

Elijah’s Cave

A large cave 20’ deep and 15’ high at the entrance is located up above the stone structures at the base of Jebel Maqla. It is believed to be the cave of Elijah. “And Elijah arose, and went unto Horeb the mount of God. And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there. 1 Kings 19: 8-9 –> Click to Learn More

Burning Bush

Burning Bush

Hidden in the valley between the mountain peaks of Lawz (Horeb) and Maqla (Sinai) is a huge cedar tree, adorned with 7 major branches.  It is strategically located in a place where Moses would have grazed flocks and turned aside to see. “Moses came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and the bush was not consumed.” Ex 3: 1-2  –> Click to Learn More

Split Rock Research Foundation was founded by Jim and Penny Caldwell.
Living for twelve years in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, their extensive
desert travels have unearthed an amazing trail of ancient Biblical evidence
buried beneath the sands or locked behind barbed wire fences. Much of
this deals with the subject of relocating the real Mount Sinai to the
northern Hejaz mountain range of northwest Arabia.
