It may be the biggest archaeological discovery to date, but it is also the most dangerous. In an adventure story rivaling an Indiana Jones movie, Bob Cornuke and Larry Williams snuck into Saudi Arabia to investigate whether the Wahhabist home of Mecca and Medina is also home to one of the holiest sites in Judaism and Christianity: Mt. Sinai. They have each written page-turning books about their story. Dr. Lennart Moller, a Swedish scientist, has gone one step further, writing a must-read book full of images and scientific analysis titled The Exodus Case, which puts together the stunning evidence that the Biblical events of the Exodus are historical, not mythical.
Cornuke’s BASE Institute has released a documentary titled Search for the Real Mt. Sinai and Moller’s additional work was made into The Exodus Revealed. Now, a forthcoming documentary to be released in theaters titled The Exodus Conspiracy is being produced that will have far-reaching effects Michael Moore could only dream of.
A quick look at what has been found easily explains all the fuss....

Burning bush ping!
Great. Now every Muslim within 500 miles will converge upon the place with sledge hammers and sticks of dynamite.
And that's different from what they do now, because...?
Finding the Ark, Mt. Sinai, the spot where Pharaoh’s army drowned, and the date of the Exodus...will always sell books.
‘Cause now they know where the ‘real’ Mt Sinai is?
IMHO, the Saudis would blow it up before they would allow any sort of Christian/Jewish pilgrimage .
So many people refuse to believe that God is not a liar. Especially now, when all politicians and their mobs are lying, constantly lying to us. God cannot lie and that His Rules/Commandments don’t change. We might destroy ourselves on them while trying to change them, but they stay the same... We are the ones who change.
I’m reminded of C.S. Lewis “Mere Christianity”
“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic ? on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg ? or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
We’ll they’ve used tanks to destroy ancient Buddhist statues.
Many years ago I saw a documentary on TV about this mountain called, Following in the footsteps of Moses”. It blew me away because the evidence was right there in your face. Even the local people called it the mountain of Moses.
Or claim it as their own (as one of their greatest holy sites). Another excuse to kill, maim and die for allah. ;-)
“...which puts together the stunning evidence that the Biblical events of the Exodus are historical, not mythical.”
Well, duh!
Very interesting stuff.
I had read something like this before, that the Gulf of Aqaba, which is the north fork of the Red Sea that touches present-day Sinai, Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, was in fact the waters referred to by the story of Moses “parting the Red Sea,” and that many of the holy sites referred to in the Bible were NOT in the Sinai, but instead were just across the Gulf of Aqaba in Saudi Arabia. I want to say I read that in a National Geographic article, or Discovery, or something along those lines.
Ping
Actually the article says the Saudis have placed armed guards around everything because they understand the potential consequences of extremists attempting to destroy the sites.
TTIWWGEC!
