Mountain of Fire: The Search for the True Mount Sinai (2002)
Outstanding! Well researched, excellent graphics and breathtaking video!
This video was really excellent! Bob Cornuke and a former politician (forgot his name, sorry) go to Saudi Arabia to find the real Mount Sinai. Although they record several hours of video, they're apprehended by the Saudi police and are forced to discard most of their video information. (I'm sure there's an interesting story about how they got caught and subsequently got released from the police that's left out of this video but I hear the adventure may be made into a Hollywood movie). Without the video evidence, the trip seems pointless until they find out about another Western family who recorded video on their 14 visits to Mount Sinai. Most of the video footage of Sinai in this DVD appears to be from this family.
The video and computer animations are really first rate. The site detailed in the video is remarkable and the account is very credible. I would really like to see a director's cut DVD with more video footage.
