26 Is Mt. Sinai the Mountain of YEHOVAH?

Philby punctuates his book with superlatives such as "the GREAT MASSIF of Jabal Lauz,"
"Lauz and the other GREAT GIANTS of Midian," "the GREAT PEAK of Lauz," and "the Lauz
MASSIF." Is THIS peak that so impressed Philby and Musil the REAL Mt. Sinai of the Bible?

The Real Mt. Sinai Discovered?

In July 1988 a report came out in the High Flight Foundation Newsletter that startled its
curious readers:

Great news! We strongly feel that the REAL Mt. Sinai has been discovered. Since February,
we have been searching in Egypt and Saudi Arabia in an attempt to find the real Mt. Sinai,
currently believed to be in Egypt. The Bible, however, is quite clear that Mt. Sinai is IN
ARABIA (Galatians 4:25). We have found an underwater land bridge in the Red Sea in the
area of the tip of the Sinai peninsula. This land bridge was photographed and found to be a
perfect underwater bridge to Arabia.

Larry Williams and I [Bob Cornuke] have taken two trips to SAUDI ARABIA and traveled
to JABEL AL LAWZ. This mountain is believed by some Biblical scholars to possibly be
the real Mt. Sinai. Jabel al Lawz is an 8,000 ft. mountain with a huge valley at its base. In
this VALLEY we found an ANCIENT ALTAR with petroglyphs of the Egyptian bullgod,
Hathor, inscribed in the rocks. We feel this is the altar where Aaron made the Golden Calf.
There were also very strong readings of the mineral gold registered at this site (Report by
Bob Cornuke on Noah's Ark and Mt. Sinai).

In the book Treasures of the Lost Races, published in 1982, author Rene Noorbergen writes
about the reasons for identifying Jebel el Lauz with the Sinai of the Exodus:
