I've struggled to find sources since this was created. There are a lot of sources, but they are either fringe or seem to be about something else. I've left one source in the article as an example - the Fox News article is really a publicity piece about a travel tour run by someone who claims to have found the real location of Mt. Sinai. His book cites people like Ron Wyatt [1] Doug Weller talk 18:30, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

- Delete Split rock of Horeb is just one of many natural split rocks that can be found in many arid environments. Lacks reliable sources, as noted above, that demonstrate that this specific split rock has either any cultural, historical, archaeological, geological, or geomorphic significance. Paul H.

- Comment. This is unlikely to be the real Split Rock of Horeb, but it has been the topic of some coverage, and may well pass GNG as an interesting-looking rock that is the topic of a local legend. If this claimant to the title of Split Rock of Horeb has a different official name, move the article to that title. There is no corresponding article in Arabic for the title انشقاق صخرة حوريب
I see several Google hits for انشقاق صخرة حوريب , but I cannot evaluate them. Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL I added an infobox to the article to show where the rock is located. LeapTorchGear ( talk) 09:25, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. I dream of a day when Wikipedia can have an article on every big funny-looking rock, but until then... – Joe ( talk) 10:09, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
