Jewish Geography
The Real Mount Sinai – Ryan Mauro. In this movie Ryan Mauro brings proofs that Mt. Sinai is really located in today’s Saudi Arabia (and not in Egypt) as is stated by Saadia Gaon.
Balaam (Bilaam) in The Tell Deir ‘Alla Inscription (c. 800 BCE) by Henry Abramson.
Where was Bilam’s hometown?
In the above movie Bilaam’s hometown is not far from the Jordan river in today’s Jordan.
In Numbers Chapter 22:5 it says that “And he (Balak) sent messengers to Bilaam, the son of Peor, to Pethor, located by the River”. (If) Pethor is ancient Petora then it can be described to be today’s M339+WR, Aamârné, Syria, which is also by the riverbank and another river (see commentators on Pethor and other sources on Petora).
