Title: Supplies and equipment for the Mt. Sinai expedition are hoisted up on pulley system.
Description: This image depicts supplies and equipment for the Mount Sinai expedition being hoisted up the fortification walls of Saint Catherine Monastery using a pulley system. Historically, this hoist served as the sole means of entrance to the monastery, emphasizing the site's seclusion and security. Several individuals are seen coordinating the process, with a truck parked below, laden with additional materials. The scene captures a moment of logistical effort, blending modern tools with the ancient architectural backdrop of the monastery’s walls. This illustrates both the challenges of accessing this remote site and the ingenuity employed to overcome them.
