For centuries, mankind has disputed the exact location of Mount Sinai -- the site where God descended to give Moses the Ten Commandments and the ancient Hebrews buried a fabled fortune in gold. Now, award-winning journalist Howard Blum tells the heart-pounding true story of how Larry Williams, a two-time Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate from Montana and self-made millionaire, and Bob Cornuke, a retired policeman and former SWAT-team member, daringly infiltrated a top-secret Saudi Arabian military base to gain access to Jabal al Lawz, the mountain they discerned from the Old Testament to be the true Mount Sinai. What Williams and Cornuke discovered will astonish the world -- the remains of the stone altar at which the Golden Calf was worshiped, the twelve pillars that Moses ordered to be erected, the cave where Moses slept, a landbridge across the Red Sea, and most sensationally, the unnaturally scorched spot on the mountaintop where God gave Moses the two stone tablets. This action-packed tale -- part high-tech treasure hunt, part modern-day spy thriller, and part biblical detective story -- is riveting. And it is all true.
