Author Description

Excerpt from The Store-City of Pithom and the Route of the Exodus Since the above description was written, the aspect of the place has changed, the numerous blocks of which the Frenchman speaks have been removed, or covered by the sand; and till a few years ago, the site of the old city was indicated only by a hardly discernible mound, or rather an undulation of the ground on the top of which stood the monolith, the size and execution of which showed that it must have belonged to a temple of some importance.
