IndianaHoenlein, @conf_of_pres, Conference of Presidents, in re: Chapeau, bullwhip. Negev tombstone: Sixth or Seventh Century, a park worker stumbled on a cemetery. Sta Catarina (on Mount Sinai). Maresha city, in the foothills of the Judaean Mountains (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaean_Mountains) : a thousand underground rooms; room 69 held a thousand seals. Dead Sea Scrolls: found a lid that had been contaminated, but it was sedge (papyrus); the jar probably fell, scrolls decomposed, but there may be more Qumran caves in other locations and caves not yet discovered.
