When researching the Noahide Laws in Sanhedrin 56a, one learns that Abraham was a Noahite, and once his descendants were given the Covenant of Circumcision, he and his descendants became circumcised Noahites, of the tribe of Shem. clearly Israel was distinguished before Revelation. They received two additional mitzvos at Marah, the true Ten Commandments, Revelation being the Ten Statements, and in Egypt it has been taught they observed Shabbos.

Abraham was promised the land between the two rivers which is Iraq and Egypt lands now. This was never accomplished in history was it?
So the origianal Jews where what we would call from Arabic nations as well?
If you read Middle East history and the Coptic , Egyptian history. Alot of what transpired was in Egypt ?
If the Jews where same as surrounding people before the Torah was given then we are semetic or what is considered Arabic people as well?

I must admit that this is not my area of expertise. But from the simple reading of the texts, it is clear that the Sinai revelation did not happen in Egypt at all. The Jews had already left Egypt, crossed the Sea of Reeds, and traveled for several more weeks before they reached the Sinai desert. I would recommend you look at "The Living Torah," a translation of the Torah by Aryeh Kaplan. You will find excellent maps there.

Not really! What were they before the Torah came? The Sinai Penisula, was this ever Egyptian land? What part of the geography actually took place in Egypt? From hearing Coptic people, they make statements and infer that a lot of what transpired was actually in EGYPT? I want to know this.

The traditional belief is that Mt. Sinai is located in the Sinai desert which is in the Sinai Peninsula.
Before the Exodus and the accepting the Torah the Jewish people were not yet considered a nation. They were considered a Semitic tribe. Certainly they were not yet bound by most of the rules of the Torah.
I hope this answers your questions.

where was actual location of Mt Sinai? Was it in the land of Egypt? Before becoming Jewish what did they convert from?
You are teaching Jewish people were forced to become Jews; What were they before? Where is this desert located you speak of?
