The white rectangle marks the site of the Egyptian shrine to Hathor beneath the Har Timna outcropping. I understand that events at Har Timna lie behind the Exodus narratives concerning Mt. Sinai/Horeb. Egyptian, Negebite and Midianite pottery has been found here from Late Bronze/Early Iron era, about the same time Israel is believed to have begun settling the Hill Country of Canaan in the Early Iron period. So, I am proposing that Har Timna is "THE REAL MOUNTAIN OF GOD" (Hebrew: Har EL)
