Predator Trap in Sinai

Mount Umm Shomar, about 50 Km South of Mt. Sinai, is 2586 Meters high and formed mainly of porphyry granite. At the ridge that connects it to Mount Abu Shajara, I found nicely built predators trap (see link). It's an exhausting climb to the summit, but it brings the climber to a breathtaking view of more than 80 Km in all direction.

On the summit, I found a rock carving in English: T.E. Yorke TJP rout 1862

My be one of you UK folks can find out about the person or the expedition? the letters are not so clear (see photos) on predators trap see our article: http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=2146412504
