Sinai – the very name evokes a sense of mystical ambience enveloping one of our planet’s most fascinating, onerous and forbidding spots. Yet the intrepid explorer from Jerusalem had no qualms about venturing into its underbelly and unfathoming the mysteries that lay hidden under the shifty dunes and unsteady rocks. Here, in the unyielding wilderness, is where thousands of years ago humanity received divine instructions to guide their steps along the path of righteousness, and here history scattered its pages on the sands, some filled with gore, and others with glory, like the incomparable rock inscriptions, some in languages that are lost in time. Among them, Armenian, still pretty much alive.
