Was Jesus crucified on Mount Sinai? Where was he taken after the Resurrection?

Jesus was crucified at a place called Golgotha, or "the
place of a skull." After his death, he was buried in a tomb belonging to Joseph of
Arimithea. Golgotha is just outside the city gates of Jerusalem. Mt. Sinai is some
distance from there in the Sinai Peninsula. It is the site where Moses received the Ten
Commandments. There is no evidence that Jesus was anywhere near Mt.
Sinai.


After his resurrection, Jesus was not "taken"
anywhere. He apparently was seen by many, but travelled alone of his own free will.
Forty days after his resurrection, he ascended into heaven, or was "taken
up."
