The Gold of Exodus

I waited to read this story with much anticipation and have just finished it. Unfortunately, I am generally disappointed. You see I don't read fiction usually, and I expected here to see a serious work presenting the case for why this is or is not the real Mt. Sinai.Instead you would think I had bought a Tom Clancy novel. Ugh!!! So many real questions to answer and we get into a subjective third person narrative of wild intrigue involving spies, military plots, and 2 guys who have the distinction of NOT even being the first in recent years to make this discovery. (Ron Wyatt was---visit his website and see far more interesting facts and pictures on the subject).At one point the author has the protagonists licking their chops at the prospect of getting their hands on the "gold of the Exodus". Did these guys really think that the Hebrews would have just chucked it all in a hole and forgot about it? Did they really think they would have just dug it up, packed it in their duffel bags and checked it at the airport? Give me a break... Anyone knows that a true architectural artifact like a simple piece of pottery that could be firmly linked to the Israelites culturally at the time of the Exodus would be far more valuable, monetarily and archeologically.This book was written to sell movie rights, not critically examine the subject. The scholarly work presenting the pros and cons on whether this is the real Mt. Sinai has yet to be written, apparently.

This is a very interesting "true to life" adventure of two would be explorers/adventurers that stumble into one mishap after another. The pace is lively and exciting and this true account is put together very well. Everyone should enjoy this book.

A re-write of "In Search of the Mountain of God" by Bob Cornuke.Why read a second hand version that takes literary license?

A great adventure...reads like the Bible, infact the Bible is the 'map' they uses to chart their pathway and held an unexpected surprise at the end! a good read!

I read a lot of history books and this one stands out as being exceptional. It reads like a novel but amazingly is true. Me Blum does a great job weaving the story of the two explorers into the larger context of world politics. I give this book he highest rating!

Could be the greatest discovery of our age of a jump to conclusion... they lay it out for you to decide for yourself.

This was the second book I read about the adventures of Bob Cornuke. He and his friend Larry Williams wrote a short book, "The Mountain of God," which was interesting but this book was more colorful. Since it is written by a professional writer that is easily explained.

A good tool for research on the Book of Exodus
