Is it really possible that the biblical texts from Abraham to Mount Sinai (Genesis 11:27 - Exodus 40:38) are authentic historical documents? Authentic in the sense that these people actually existed, and the events described genuinly took place? Or can we form a realistic picture of these events from documentation, analyses and interpretation? And what is this picture?
In this book you will follow a chain of events that has affected our culture far more than we have previously believed. You must decide for yourself if there is any reason to accept these stories as truth. To help you, there are 790 colour illustrations in the 448 pages of this revised and extended third edition (2008).
Where was Ur located? Is there a place wher burning sulphur has fallen? Is Joseph in Egyptian history? What about Moses' role in Egyptian history? What was the route of the Exodus? Where is the crossing site through the Red Sea? Is the traditional location of Mount Sinai correct?
Can ancient maps, satellite photographs, chemical analyses, underwater exploration and photography, together with many old documents, bring any clarity to the issue?
The author is a scientist in the area of medicine and molecular biology. Can such a person really write a book on these matters? Maybe it would be better if you left this book and spent your time with something else. Why bother about these events? Perhaps you have knowledge about these matters? Maybe you have already decided where your standpoint is? The question is, what is your standpoint based on? Perhaps it is time to take a fresh look at the Exodus...
This book is based on the discoveries made by Ronald E. Wyatt. These discoveries have been evaluated, analysed and supplemented whith much additional material.
