Interesting, but based on an assumption that we should rule out the marshy lakes as the Red Sea. 

Until the building of the Suez Canal, the marshy lakes would occasionally split when the east wind blew all night. Critics ask if it is deep enough to drown the Egyptians; yet history records people, the last time nearly an entire near by village drown when the waters returned. Also, they are a good location for the locusts being blown into them. 

As for Mt. Sinai, I've preferred the evidence for it being Mt. Karkom. It meets the same criteria, it has archaeological evidence, and it's location also fits the description of Elijah's journey, as well as Abraham's bringing Isaac to offer him to the Lord. Among the evidence, there are sacred mountains with rock drawings. Mt. Karkom has them too, however, a big difference is where the other sacred mountains have a picture of the god worshiped there, the carvings on Mt. Karkom only have a flat line, understood as the god being worshiped there being invisible and not allowed an image to be made.
