    Product description

    Synopsis
    An account of Project Falcon, which attempted to locate the real Mount Sinai. In the 1980s, several American explorers and adventurers became convinced that the Mount Sinai referred to in the Bible was actually in Saudi Arabia rather than the Sinai peninsula, and they set up the project to locate the exact site. "New York Times" journalist Blum describes how Project Falcon became embroiled in controversy--political, scientific, and financial--from the start, as it attempted to locate not only the mount itself, but the "gold of exodus" supposedly buried there.

    Great story about an all true adventure story; possible

    Created: 25/08/06
    The Gold of Exodus is a fantastic story about two men who put their monotomous lives away to live real adventure and follow a treasure "map"-the travels of the Israelites to the Mountain of God, the true Mountain of Sinai, otherwise known as Mount Horeb, where the people of Israel left an unimaginable horde of wealth at the mountain's base. Unwittingly becoming embroiled in political intrigue by Israeli agents, Saudi security forces, and the ways of the Bedoiuns of the desert, they endure all sorts of things and discover the true locations of dozens of biblical sites that have since remained obscured by traditionalist views of the wanderings of the Israelites in the desert, the latter of which had little use of the Bible itself in trying to determine the validity of these sites. The book makes as its main theme the lucid, compelling, exciting, and Biblically based argument that Jabal Al Lawz in the Arabian desert is the true Mount Sinai. It is very intriguing for any Christian, any Jew, any person who enjoyes rollickingly good adventure, anyone who enjoys a thrill, a treasure hunt, or a really good spin of the yarn. Not to mention the last point here: its all true; everything in the book is based on true events, being retold to the reader for a great novel. Basically, if Keanu Reeves were a book, he would be the Gold of Exodus.

    Great book on archaeological discovery of the Century!

    Created: 07/02/10
    So you thought Mt Sinai is in Egyptian territory and surrounded by other mountains? Think again! The author details follows the journey of 2 american treasure hunters in search for the Mountain of God. These 2 adventurers encounter Israeli spies, Egyptian & Saudi police and secret service agents who try to arrest them and stop their revelation of finding the true Mountain.
    the author convincingly shows through these adventurers that the Holy Mountain is to be found in what is now a secret Saudi military installation that was used to set up a missle system against Saudi enemies such as Israel and Israel responded by bombing the facility which was built by the Chinese.
    This is a riveting book, full of information which proves where the real Mount Sinai is based upon archaeological, typographical as well as historical evidence. Highly recommended for all lovers of the Bible & Archaeology.
