Milestone in Biblical Research
I note with interest that one reviewer questions the findings of this book because of the author's use of the Book of Jasher as a source. I agree that we cannot place too much credence in a source of which so many versions exist. (I believe the one Graham Phillips used is a nineteenth-century translation.) However, most of Mr. Phillips' book compares Bible verses - not the Book of Jasher - with archaeological discoveries to show that the plagues of Egypt really occurred, that Mount Sinai was a real mountain and that Moses was an historical figure. In this respect he has done an excellent job. I may not agree with all his conclusions, but I consider this book to be a milestone in biblical research.
Ground-breaking book
This is one of the best books I have read for a long time. The author not only reveals many exciting archaeological discoveries from the period of the Old Testament, he writes in an easy-going and assessable manner. I have been studying the history of the Bible lands for many years and have never before found a book that contains so many new revelations in one volume. Some of the sources Mr Phillips' employs may be somewhat doubtful, but the facts remains that he has done more to show that the Old Testament relates to recorded history than anyone for many years. I suggest that anyone who questions the authenticity of this book to compare the Bible verses concerning Mount Sinai with the topography of Jebel Madhbah (which Mr Phillips proposes as the true Mountain of God). There can be no doubt that they are one and the same.

An amazing historical journey
This book is excellent! I have read it several times and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the history and ideas surrounding the times of Moses and the 10 plagues of Egypt.
Graham Phillip's writing is flowing and captivating. Once I started reading the book I couldn't stop until I got to the end.
If you haven't yet purchased a copy I would urge you to do so. You will not be disappointed. A great book and a fanastic buy !
