The importance of the servant mirage comes from the inscriptions and writings of the rock in the mines and antiquities dedicated to the goddess Hathor in the temple about the mining campaigns carried out by the kings of the middle state. Although the name Amenemhat I, the first king of the twelfth dynasty, is the oldest name found in the 

  

Al-Khadid's mirage contains 387 inscriptions belonging to the Middle and modern countries, including about eight inscriptions from the Middle Kingdom era, in addition to 150 inscriptions confirming many mining campaigns during the era of the New Kingdom, especially between the reigns of the most famous kings in Egypt King Amenhotep I and king Ramses VI. Historians proved that these mining activities related not only to the area of the Serapita Al-Khadim but also concerned everything surrounding the mountains and caves of the Serapitat Al-Kham as well, including the well of the monument and Wadi Abu Jadah.

The server's mirage also contains more than thirty inscriptions engraved in the "Sinnaean alphabet," which sheds light on the history of the alphabet, which was revealed in 1905 and dates back to the reign of Thutmose III and Hatshepsut, and some call it the Canaanite alphabet, Because she was influenced by some lofty writings, considering that Sinai was a meeting point for those coming from Asia, although some believe that the majority of miners were prisoners of Egyptian wars with the peoples of Southwest Asia, Who spoke the Northwest Semitic language, such as Canaanite, which was ancestors of the Phoenicians, and Hebrew, which the British Egyptologist Alan Gardner tried to prove in 1915 when he deciphered the so-called primitive Sinaitic writing system.

Is there a close relationship between the Serapet of the Servant and the sacred history of Sinai? This is a question that many historians tried to answer, which encouraged the British cultural historian Lina Doriana Joanna Ekenstein to make a hypothesis that the Serapit of the servant was the historical site of Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments. In 1912, she published a book entitled "History of Sinai", in which she based her work and exploratory on the couple Hilda and Flinders Petrie, through which she traced historical events in the Sinai region before the presence of the Egyptians. This hypothesis is a significant part of the reality of the site containing the Temple of Hathor, where she believes that the goddess Hathor, which was symbolized by the cow, is the golden calf built by the Hebrews while Moses was on the mountain
