Mount Sinai is considered by all three of the Abrahamic religions as a sacred place and especially by Jews and Christians. It is the place where Moses, considered to be Judaism’s most important prophet, met with none other than God Himself and received the Jewish Law and the two stone tablets on which were inscribed the Ten Commandments.
Traditionally this mountain was thought to be located on The Sinai Peninsula, thereby giving that peninsula it's name. More recently some have speculated that the true location of the mountain is in Saudi Arabia and is the tallest mountain in the north west corner of that country, Jebel Al Laws.
But what if both of these theories are wrong? What if neither of these mountains is the original Mt Sinai?
This book outlines a journey of discovery that will show that not only are they wrong but will reveal the true path taken by Moses and The Israelites in their exodus out of Egypt, across The Red Sea and straight to the correct location of this mountain. The author tells the story of his discovery which allows you to follow along as if you are on the journey with him and puts together a detailed and convincing case for his claims.
Not only will you discover the true location of the mountain but along with the author you will come to the realisation that there are two "Mountains of God". Mt Horeb which is where Moses first spoke with God and Mt Sinai which is where he received the Law are two separate mountains. Many Biblical scholars have speculated about this in the past but the author puts together a compelling argument to show this to be true including descriptions and pictures of all of the important locations from the Exodus story.
What this discovery means for the religions concerned, I'm not sure but if nothing else, the fact that the Exodus story in the Bible can be verified with real places surely only enhances the basis of the story. As far as tourism is concerned this discovery could have a dramatic impact on this area which is presently going through a major revamp in the form of the NEOM project currently underway
