Summary: Entertaining "Indiana Jones" style adventure...
Review: Blum's dramatization of Williams and Cornuke's "rediscovery" of evidence for a non-traditional location of biblical Mt. Sinai. The discoveries point to Jebel al Lawz in Saudi Arabia rather than the traditional Jebel Musa in the Sinai peninsula as being the mountain where the Ten Commandments were given to Moses by God. Actually, Ron Wyatt was the first to document the same evidence in the 70s and 80s so there are no new revelations or great discoveries revealed in this book.

Summary: Could it be all true?
Review: The story this book tells is incredible. What if they have really found the true Mt. Sinai? This is almost too incredible to believe. The text does dwell on a few conspiratorial theories that the Israelis and Arabic secret service is out to get the heroes of the book though. This detracts from the story of discovering the true mountain of God. Also the pictures in the book are interesting but it appears if they were taken at noon day. The ascent and following descent of the mountain took place during the night and early dawn. Maybe it gets light really quick in Saudi Arabia. Overall the book was easy to read and enjoyable and would recommend it to others. I just wish the author had documented the sources he used to a greater extent.

Summary: gold of the exodus: an interesting book
Review: I have recently read the book, and I found it to be quite interesting. My impression of the book was, that the line of thought and the arguments were rather credible and reasonable. No 'too freaky' theories were expressed and the book has a thrillerlike capacity to it.
Of course it is up to you to either reach the same conclusions as the authors or not.
I certainly think that the authors have made a valuable addition to the existing theories about the place of mount Sinai.
All theories have their flaws and I am sure this one has some too, but it nonetheless solves some of the shortcomings of other theories.
Summarizing I would like to say that the book is very readible, an exiting book to spend your leasure time with. warning - warning - warning - warning - warning - warning Do not read this book if you think you know precisely what this world is about and are uncomfortable with the idea to be surprised every now and then.

Summary: my review
Review: This is a recount of the expedition of two men, Larry Williams and Bob Cornuke, to discover the "true" Mount Sinai. The book in itself is very interesting. The author has written it as a novel and, therefore, very easy to read. It is hard to imagine this is a true story. What has surprised me the most that I had never heard of this event. A discovery of this importance should have made headlines all around the world, yet it did not even appear on a special documentary on television. But it has certainly strengthened my belief in the Bible. I also view it as a real description of events and not only as literature.

Summary: Unbelievable even if (properly) labeled as fiction
Review: I do a lot of driving and consequently listen to a lot of books on tape. I never like to listen to tapes of books that I'd actually like to read, thus "The Gold of Exodus." Actually, I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit to have actually listened to it. Don't make the same mistake, and certainly don't bother reading the print version. The ever-present annoyance of this book is that it is passed off as non-fiction. If it were properly labeled a novel, it would rate as a c-grade adventure story. Not entirely unentertaining, but cheap and strained in the credibility department. But as a supposed "true story," almost every word of this book is an insult to the reader's (listener's) credulity. It is utter, total hogwash, and that's hard to get beyond. This "gold" should be left buried.

Summary: A Muslim perspective
Review: All the biblical fundamentalists reviewers here don't get the irony that Blum's alleged adventure only backs up Muslim claims. If God did indeed reveal the Torah in Arabia, it should come as no surprise that He followed up with the revelation of the Koran only a few miles to the south many centuries later. In any event, as a Muslim, I would be delighted to discover that the true Mount Sinai is in Arabia. However, the lack of geological accuracy in this account suggests that this particular discovery is inaccurate. If not, I hope the Saudis waste no time to declare that God's mountain is smack in the middle of Islam's home.

Summary: The Gold of Exodus
Review: I listened to the Tapes. I found them to be interesting and kept me in the car in the drive way. Its thought provoking and also faith building if one is a student of the migration of Israel. I think most people will be very stimulated by the possiblities. It also helped me to understand some of the Biblical perspectives. The international behind the scenes elements certainly added a perspective to consider.

Summary: Why would anyone believe jerks and advocates of murder?
Review: Treasure hunter creeps claim to sneek into Saudi Arabia and find biblical treasure just sitting around untouched for thousands of years? GIVE ME A BREAK! Why should they carry any credibility when they claim that they were ready to kill an innocent guard while they were illegally in Saudi Arabia? For the sake of God and the Bible? Are these holy men on a quest? Are they doing God's will? If they had been caught and ended killing the guard then they would not only be lowlife thieves but also murderers. Treasure hunters, story tellers, imaginative explorer wannabes, potential murderers -- yes --But not historians or scientists. Perhaps this is good for an exciting fictional movie but it fails as science. Yea, the dog ate my homework!

Summary: Starts off interesting but then.....
Review: I'll admit- I only listened to the audio version of this book. It starts off with some international intrigue but by the time our two amateur adventurers are in Saudi Arabia it begans to sound like Ishtar II. The narrator didn't help much, with his contrived, caricature accents, and gee-whiz personifications of our two main characters. The book is probably better than the tape (which was abridged) but the tape didn't make me want to go back and read the book for the full account (and I love books along this theme!).

Summary: A Wonderful Book
Review: Gold of Exodous is definately one of my favorite books of all time. Not only is it a wonderful story, but it is supposedly all true (although one tends to be slightly skeptical after reading it)! I definately recommmend it!
