Exhibit O: Mount Sinai
Jacobovici believes that it had taken the Israelites only 14 days to travel from Elim to Mount Sinai. He was right about the location of Elim, but the bible proves his timeline was off.

The same thing happened at a place called Lake Neos, in Cameroon. Carbon dioxide was released from its mineral-saturated waters in deathly amounts, killing many people in a nearby village. However, this could not have happened in the Nile. Moving water of a river prevents minerals from accumulating unlike a
