Is Mount Sinai actually found in Israel?

Yesterday we asked if our Facebook fans could recognize a site in southern Israel based on an engraved rock, which is one of 40,000 stone arts found in this ancient site.
The site we referred to is Mount Karkom in the southern Israeli Negev Desert, with a large concentration of archeological findings, indicating it was a sacred place in ancient times. 

The mountain is visible from a great distance, up to a radius of about 45 miles away.
 In 1983 - Israeli archaeologist, Professor Emmanuel Ananti, shook the archeological world when for the first time he raised the hypothesis that Mount Karkom is actually none other than the biblical Mount Sinai. Professor Anati established this hypothesis after studying for decades tens of thousands of rock paintings which are scattered in the mountain's surrounding, characterized with what he claims to be monotheistic motifs. 

The Ten Commndments?

Among the findings, Anati also included a stone temple and 12 tombstones that were found at the foot of the mountain, matching the verse from Exodus 24:4: "Moses then wrote down everything the Lord had said. He got up early the next morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain and set up twelve stone pillars representing the twelve tribes of Israel".

Anati conducted most of the surveys and archaeological excavations at the site during the 80's and the early 90's. Most archaeological remains at the site have been dated back to the Paleolithic period, Chalcolithic period and to the early and middle Bronze Ages.

According to professor Anati's calculations, just like in the biblical story (Deuteronomy 1:2), the transition from Kadesh Barnea to Mount Karkom via Mount Seir, lasts exactly 11 days when traveling in an average of 8 miles per day, the approximate hiking rate of a large convoy. 

Most scholars in the research community do not accept Anati's theory, regarding the identification of Mount Karkom as Mount Sinai. The main contradiction in Anati's theory is the gap between the acceptable time of the Exodus which is dated to the 13th century BC, and the findings at Mount Karkom which are from 4,000-2,000 BC.
