Todd Bolen wrote me yesterday with helpful information regarding Mt. Nebo, and my photo in our previous post (Nov. 28).
Todd suggests that Mt. Nebo is further north than depicted in Monday’s photo (i.e., to your left). I value his scholarship and input, and wanted to pass that along to my readers. Look now at this photo:
Mt. Nebo. Looking from west to east. Photo by Leon Mauldin.
Look to the upper right of photo. See the long shadow? Look to the left edge and then up to the top of the ridge. Todd suggests the peak of Nebo is located a little behind (east of) the ridge and a bit to the left of the north side of that shadow. (Click on image for larger view).
Here is a photo Todd send me showing what his present research has determined to be the location of Mt. Nebo, from a different angle:

In his photo, Todd identifies Mt. Nebo as the peak at slightly left of center (with some trees at right).
Research in biblical history and geography (as well as other disciplines) is not static; it requires much ongoing research and sometimes course correction. I value such help as that which Todd provided re: Mt. Nebo, and am glad to pass along this info and photos to you.
Ferrell Jenkins has a good article w/photos dealing with various methods by which biblical sites are identified, using Lystra for an example; see here.
