Larry R. Williams manuscript

 Collection
Identifier: ACCN 2094

Scope and Contents

The Larry R. Williams manuscript (1990) is entitled "The Mountain of Moses: The Discovery of Mount Sinai." In this manuscript he details a trip he took to the Middle East where he followed the Biblical path Moses took as he led his followers out of Egypt. His main purpose in writing is the comparison of Mount Sinai, in Egypt, with descriptions of the mountain Moses ascends in the book of Exodus from the Bible. He concludes that the Mount Sinai spoken of in the Bible was not in Egypt, but in Saudi Arabia. The manuscript is not in its final draft form and has suggestions for improvement written by someone else in the margins and throughout the text, with a three page summary of comments at the end.
