*_Mt. Sinai - More Evidence_*

*GOLDEN CALF ALTAR: *In a flat area at the base of the mountain we also
discovered that large boulders had been placed together, creating an
altar-like formation 30 feet tall and 30 feet across - quite possibly
the altar where the golden calf was set up and worshiped by God’s
disobedient people. On the rocks were etched ancient drawings of a bull
god, as described in Exodus 32:4, where Aaron “. . . received the gold
from the hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a
molded calf.”

*MOSES' ALTAR and the 12 PILLARS: *At the foot of the mountain we found
a V-shaped altar, with each arm approximately 60 feet long and 20 feet
wide. Next to it were several toppled pillars in sections measuring
about 22 inches in diameter and 20 inches in length. Exodus 24:4 records
that Moses “. . . built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve
pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.”

*SPLIT ROCK AT HOREB:* /(Full credit for verification and documentation
of the split rock at Horeb goes to Jim and Penny Caldwell, who conducted
their research while living in Saudi Arabia.) /One of the most startling
discoveries at Jabal al Lawz was a massive, prominent, split rock on the
west side of Jabal al Lawz, which showed evidence of gushing water from
within - jagged rocks that had been smoothed off by an abundant flow of
water. Exodus 17:6 records God’s instructions to Moses when the
Israelites were dying of thirst in the wilderness: “Behold, I will stand
before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock,
and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.”

Y

*CAVE OF ELIJAH: *High on the mountain was a cave by which Elijah may
have stood to hear God’s voice, as described in 1 Kings 19:18b, 13b: “.
. . and he went . . . as far as Horeb, the mountain of God . . . . and
he went out and stood in the entrance of the cave . . . .”
This expedition yielded the first of a wealth of compelling new
evidence, to suggest that the Strait of Tiran on the Gulf of Aqaba was
the crossing point for the route of the Exodus, and that Jabal al Lawz
in Saudi Arabia is the true Mount Sinai.

The real significance in all this is that the Bible again has apparently
been shown to be true, reliable, and _accurate, down to the smallest
historical detail_. Critics who claim that the Bible does not coincide
with known history and geography are again shown to be wrong once the
physical evidence begins to surface. _The account in the Bible is true,
and the implications are incredible._

God descended on Mount Sinai in flames like a furnace. He spoke to Moses
and gave him the Ten Commandments as the laws for the life of Israel. He
communicated His love and mercy through the laws for sacrifice and
atonement. And though we are unworthy, He gave us the opportunity to
enter into a personal, caring relationship with the Eternal Father.

The exploits of the BASE Institute team may sound like a treasure hunt
to others, but a more important adventure awaits those who would seek
out the treasures of the Word of God. The Bible reveals His plan for
reconciliation - and _the most important discovery any of us can ever
make is how to begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ._ This is
the best adventure.
