Mount Sinai (Horeb) to Kadesh Barnea

Mount Sinai (Saudi Arabia) to Kadesh Barnea (Petra)

If someone gave you four sets of information:  Place name A, place name B, and a named route C, and the time to get from A to B via C...

• • Logically and in reality, route C must be in between A and B, and the time to get from A to B via route C must match the information given.

  • Practically, route C would be in-between A and B....  that would make sense huh?

This is the case for the real Mount Sinai/Horeb (Jebel Al Lawz) and the Biblical Kadesh Barnea (modern day Petra)

Deuteronomy 1 v 2   (It takes eleven days to go from Horeb to Kadesh Barnea by the Mount Seir road.) 

There is no argument by Biblical or non-Biblical scholars to where the Biblical Mount Seir location is, therefore we know 'route C'

We also can ascertain the time/distance, in ancient times the daily travel distance was 20 miles (30 kilometres). Taking a start time of 07:00 (7am) to end time of 17:00 (5pm) = 10 hours. Taking 3 hours off for breaks and stopping during mid day in the hottest hours = 7 hours travel. 30km / 7 hr = 4.28 kph (2.66 mph)

Because of years of false tradition, Mount Sinai has incorrectly been place at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, and Kadesh Barnea incorrectly place at Ain El Qudrient (northern Sinai)

As you will see from the Google map below, if one believes the Holy Scripture it is a nonsense to place 'A' and 'B' where  traditionalist's and the Vatican propose, what is exciting is that scripture confirms the real Mount Sinai and correct Kadesh Barnea locations.

With the correct placements of  'A' and 'B' (Mount Sinai and Kadesh Barnea)

via the known Route 'C' (Mount Seir road)

the actual time, (Distance/Daily travel=Days) is

314km/30km per day = 10.5 Days - This matches the 11 days in scripture.

History books need to be re-written and the Truth revealed.

On the Google Earth picture below, are the distances, times  and tracks of 3 routes between the incorrect traditional "mount sinai"  and incorrect "kadesh barnea":   1. The most direct route (brown) on which was no known roads back then and for first two thirds tracks through extremely inaccessible terrain, and 2. The most direct route (blue) using Wadi's and the easiest & safest (yellow) using  as many as possible of the known roads of that time. These routes are not exact.

Between real Mt Sinai/Horeb and correct Kadesh Barnea is showing 1. The most logical route (red) using wadi's and known roads, and 2. The distance "as the crow flies" (violet).
