Mount Sinai is a real mountain in Egypt, and I think mount Horeb is the same one. The mountain existed long before the story in the bible though, that doesn't prove anything. I don't think you can trust bible archaeologists. Religious peoples main criticism of science is that its biased against religion, but if that's true then bible archeologists are waaaay more biased toward religion, after all that's their motivation for being bible archaeologists in the first place, proving their religion. You can call any pretty looking place the garden of Eden ...There is no proper evidence for religion, and I don't think there ever will be.

Biblical scholars and Biblical archeologists make their life by analyzing the Bible and using the records available to them to make their best possible guesses as to what was what 2000 or more years ago. Sometimes they have history to back them up. Sometimes, they go by history and make assumptions based on that, which may or may not be correct, but given the evidence is the best possible assumption they can make. Sometimes, different scholars and archeologists may come up with competing answers, so it all boils down to--do you want to believe what they find or not? Sometimes what you believe may have no basis in fact, but it doesn't prevent you from choosing to believe it or not. But keep in mind, for instance, that things from Jesus time aren't that long ago--we have records from longer ago than that, so chances of them being right in some regards are pretty good. And it's good, that even if they find a cave and say it may be such and such, even if they are wrong, it can give a good indication of what life was like back then.
