Serabit Al-Khadim Restoration Project
Anyone who has spent much time thinking about ancient Semitic languages has worried at least a little about the Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions that Flinders Petrie discovered in 1905. Petrie found those first Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions at Serabit Al-Khadim in the Sinai. It turns out that Egypt as launched an effort to restore and better document the Serabit Al-Khadim temple, the related turquoise mines and the surrounding area. Among other things they want to make it a tourist site. It would be wonderful if they also found a few more inscriptions, longer ones would sure be nice.
