This is where Moses saw the Promised Land, and then died. There is a spectacular view of the Jordan River Valley and the West Bank from up here. And, if you look at what Moses saw when he got to the top of Mount Nebo, you can fully understand why, after already walking through the desert for 40 years, he called it quits at the top of Mount Nebo!
Golda Meir said "Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil."
Check out Maggie's incredibly awesome blog post about our trip to Mount Nebo. See my other photos from Mount Nebo (and Madaba and Bethany Beyond the Jordan) here.
If Moses existed. Word has it that it may have been Tutmoses of Egypt, when the Greater Kingdom split in two. Some say that Tutmoses signed a treaty to take over the northern part of the Egyptian empire.
ReplyDeleteThere is no other record of any "Moses" existing, other than the Torah. Other historical records have no record of him or any of his tribesmen.
