Mount of Transfiguration found? :

The main likely orthodox location is Mt Hermon which is not far from Casarea Philppi. (The traditional candidate Tabor may be unlikely.)

However, this might be wrong but i wonder if the mount of the transfiguration was possibly Sinai/Horeb (Lawz/Maqla)?
Moses and Elijah were both at Sinai/Horeb.
Moses face shone (Ex 34:29), and Jesus face shone.
"It is good we are here" might match.
God spoke to Moses up on Sinai, God spoke up on the transfiguration mountain.
Cloud on Mt Sinai/Horeb (Ex 24:16, 34:5), cloud on transfiguration mt.
Luke states that they spoke of Jesus "exodus" which he was about to make at Jerusalem.
I've read the 3 gospels accounts and there is not necessarily any definite time/distance parameters.
Or else it could be Calvary/Golgotha (Skull Hill) :
"tell no one until after the son of man has risen from the dead".
"3 tents".
Calvary is a "high" mountain.

The only reason against it is the distance seems just too great (though not impossible), otherwise i'd say the evidence seems pretty intriguing. Luke even uses word exodus.
The 6/8 & 1 days before & after don't necessarily limit it. It says *after* 6/8 days, and 1 day after they came down, which only means (in English at least) that they started out to there after 6/8 days. (Maybe they needed time to prepare.)
One of the gospels also says Bethsaida not Caesarea Philppi before they went to the mountain.
The high mountain as Calvary is just figurative as the most important hill/mount of biblical history. But i have thought since that there wouldn't be clouds etc. So i think the Sinai one more likely.
The temptation mount was also hypselon oros too.
However there is still parallels if not the same site.
