Fun fact, the mountain where Moses did the Ten Commandments thing? It had a native hallucinogenic plant growing in it.

Is this true? I’ve always assumed he was tripping.😆

It's true, there are two plants native to the area that produce the psychoactive compounds also found in Ayahuasca. Peganum harmala aka harmel or wild rue, and Acacia confusa aka ayangile or formosan koa

The former is a short, bushy flowering herb, and the latter is a variety of tree that Noah might have used to build the ark.

or a trebuchet, or a wooden horse. each seems as realistic as an ark.

He did trip, that's how he broke the third tablet. Used to be the 15 commandments.
