Summary: The Closest Trip You'll Ever Take to Mt. Sinai!
Comment: Do you enjoy the dangers and thrills of the unexpected? Would you dare to set foot inside a fenced and guarded mountain, forbidden to all, but perhaps one of the holiest spots on earth? All of this and more can be found in this hard to put down book. For thoses who have not heard of Robert Cornuke, he and a companion located a mountain in Saudi Arabia which they believe to be the true Mt. Sinai. There are many things to recommend about this book. Unlike other books written about this mountain named Jabal Al Lawz, this one contains 16 pages of excellent quality color photographs. (The photographs alone make the book worth the purchase) Several of the pictures of the sites on the mountain are smartly captioned with passages from the Bible which appear to allude to it. Essentially, the book contains two sections. The larger first section focuses on Cornuke's discoveries in Saudi Arabia and the price he and his partner pay for taking such a risks in a country which is unsympathetic towards intruders. The highlight of the book is Cornuke's descriptions of his remarkable observations on Jabal Al Lawz. The smaller second section focuses mainly on Egypt. Included in this section is an examination of the problems with the traditional Mt. Sinai, and the exploration of an underwater land bridge in the Gulf of Aqaba. Readers of Howard Blum's "The Gold of Exodus" will note many differences between the two books. Cornuke's book does not touch on the intrigue which is present in Blum's book. Also missing is any mention of the potential treasure which Blum's book claims may be buried around the mountain. The reader may even conclude after reading Cornuke's book that Blum perhaps took a great many literary shortcuts around the true story. Cornuke's book can be recommended to readers on two levels. The sense of adventure conveyed through Cornuke's daring personal narrative succeeds in keeping the reader totally absorbed in the book. But it is through its own bold claims, backed up by convincing photographic evidence, that the book challenges the reader's intellect and forces one to ponder its consequences.

Summary: In Search of the Mountain of God
Comment: I recently finished reading The Mountain of God. Without a doubt, it has to be one of the most fascinating books I have ever read. I am currently studying the book of Genesis. The Scriptures have come alive in a new and exciting dimension since reading about your discoveries. The way every detail lines up so precisely with the Bible is incredible, and has convinced me that Bob and Larry found the true route of the Exodus from Egypt to Sinai.The way you wove the events together held me spellbound.

Summary: Jabal al Lawz
Comment: Moses ascended the 7800-7900 foot mountain approaching into a consuming fire. To the Israelites, the mountain rumbled with power, smoke ascended from its crown, the children of Israel could smell the burning of granite, and a brilliant fire could be seen at a great distance. Only Mose saw the Lord face to face. To the rest of the children of Israel, Jehovah appeared in a pillar of fire.
The fire of God was hot enough to melt the surface of the brown granite into a coal color, black, obsidian, textured glass, with the core remaining brown granite. An angelic trumphet blasted from the top of the Mountain of God announcing the presence of Jehovah. "Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the Lord descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, the whole mountain trembled violently" Exod 18-19 . After, Moses descended from the Holy Mount, his face radiated with the power of God. The children of Israel requested Mose put a veil over his face to block the radiance. The children of Israel had withdrawn to safer purses while Mose communicated with Jehovah.
The power of Jehovah brought fear upon the children of Israel, and in the forty days and forty nights Moses remained on the mountain, they began to encourage Aaron to build them a gold calf. The stone cutter used the granite to build a massive alter and employed thousands of Israelites to move the stones into place. The altar was flat on the top. Aaron used the gold from jewelry to metal-work a golden calf. "Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them tome." "These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt." "Tomorrow there will be a festival to the Lord." Exod 32:1-5 A pictograph of a male bull was etched in the granite of the altar. Saudi Arabia was not known for large herds of cattle. Mose later would destroy the golden calf, grind up the gold, and distribute it down the stream flowing from the rock of Horeb.
