<p>On this episode, Shane talks with Mori Michael S. Bar-Ron about his research project related to the Sinai inscriptions discovered throughout the Sinai Peninsula. Though these inscriptions resemble Egyptian hieroglyphs, they’re actually written in what scholars refer to as “proto-Sinaitic” or “proto-Alphabetic” script. Mori Michael has been working on these inscriptions for the better part of a decade and argues that they are best treated as a form of paleo-Hebrew. In fact, when they are read this way, they end up providing external corroboration for some of the details recorded in the book of Exodus.</p><p>SHOW NOTES</p><p><strong>Related Articles</strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.humbleskeptic.com/p/new-evidence-for-a-historical-moses">New Evidence for a Historical Moses</a>? <em>Shane Rosenthal</em><a target="_blank" href="https://www.humbleskeptic.com/p/the-golden-calf">The Golden Calf</a>, <em>David Rohl</em><a target="_blank" href="https://www.academia.edu/72145424/Sinai_351_and_360_as_Exodus_Inscriptions_Par_Excellence">Sinai 351 & 360</a>, <em>Michael S.
