Investigative filmmaker Timothy Mahoney has been searching for the true location of Mount Sinai for over 20 years. The majority of scholars continue to favor locating Mount Sinai at the traditional site of Jebel Musa (the mountain of Moses) in the southern Sinai Peninsula. But in recent decades, more than a dozen Mount Sinai candidates have been proposed as the correct site.

In the first of this two-part series, Mahoney uses the trusted Patterns-of-Evidence approach and the new Mount Sinai Scorecard to investigate three of the six most popular locations proposed for Mount Sinai. Can he find the mountain where Moses encountered the burning bush and where multitudes of Israelites camped for nearly a year?
