The Gold of Exodus by Howard Blum (1998, Abridged, Audio Cassette)

The Gold of Exodus is a fantastic story about two men who put their monotomous lives away to live real adventure and follow a treasure "map"-the travels of the Israelites to the Mountain of God, the true Mountain of Sinai, otherwise known as Mount Horeb, where the people of Israel left an unimaginable horde of wealth at the mountain's base. Unwittingly becoming embroiled in political intrigue by Israeli agents, Saudi security forces, and the ways of the Bedoiuns of the desert, they endure all sorts of things and discover the true locations of dozens of biblical sites that have since remained obscured by traditionalist views of the wanderings of the Israelites in the desert, the latter of which had little use of the Bible itself in trying to determine the validity of these sites. The book makes as its main theme the lucid, compelling, exciting, and Biblically based argument that Jabal Al Lawz in the Arabian desert is the true Mount Sinai. It is very intriguing for any Christian, any Jew, any person who enjoyes rollickingly good adventure, anyone who enjoys a thrill, a treasure hunt, or a really good spin of the yarn. Not to mention the last point here: its all true; everything in the book is based on true events, being retold to the reader for a great novel. Basically, if Keanu Reeves were a book, he would be the Gold of Exodus.
