It is doubtful that Moses was hallucinating up on the mountain because did not exist. The events attributed to Moses' life were borrowed from older cultural tales and simply re-told with an updated character for the times.
What are the odds that his life, if true history, would parallel figures that pre-dated him by hundreds or thousands of years? Consider the idea of a modern politician claiming that he grew up in a frontier log cabin, became a self-taught lawyer and leader of a nation during a civil war.

Thanks for clearing it all up. People have had these questions for thousands of years and you just walk right up and provide the definitive answer. Thanks!
P.S. I admire your faith.

Reading through the exodus and looking at all the encounters between Moses and god it is clear that there's a real "dialogue" between the two of them. The ark of the covenant becomes the primary communication device. Num 7:89
"Now when Moses went into 1 the tent of meeting to speak with the Lord, 2 he heard the voice speaking to him from above the atonement lid 3 that was on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim. 4 Thus he spoke to him" So in order to have a "vision", Moses needed to approach the ark.The "Sohar" mentiones that Moses had difficulties to understand the construction plans for the ark."When the Holy One, blessed be He told Moses to construct the Tabernacle, Moses was dumbfounded, for he did not know what to do, until the Holy One, blessed be He showed him how it looked, as it is written" It goes then on to describe a mysterious device, a "mirror" that seems to have been a tool for god to "show" things to Moses . ("17. This is the meaning of the verse, "which was shown to you." "You" is the secret of the mirror which does not shine, MALCHUT, which reflected all those forms for Moses to see. And he saw each thing correctly, as if looking through a glass lamp, and within a mirror reflecting all the shapes. And when Moses beheld them, he found it difficult.")
There are many more examples that talk about this "strange" form of communication. It's almost too spectacular to think a bit further into this direction.... It's mysterious enough, but to me this doesn't sound like Moses smoking anything in order to communicate with god.

We all know about these writings that are thousands of years old, but c'mon, there's a hip new theory out now!

I answered no. But, maybe is more accurate. It is entirely possible. But, it can neither be proven or disproven! As such, I think that the catagory "Maybe", "Possibly", "I don't know", or whatever you want to call it should have been added to your poll.
What do you think?

I do not think that the Bible is true, actual history...and it has been rewritten during incidences of the need for greater control and manipulation of man kind, as in governments - the Church ruled. SoO, I do not think personally that Moses could have done shrooms or anything because he is a character of fiction.
