"... This is a recommendation, a recommendation of an unusual piece of work, and the adjective 'unusual' should be taken in the most positive sense of the word imaginable. - This is the book about Moses, truly a revolutionary work. - A stringent, disciplined work - and it reads like an exciting novel; an epoch-making interpretation! ..."

          "... It is an exquisite pleasure to follow the line of reasoning, and listing the points of argument is brilliant, to put it mildly.
          The quoted passages are well chosen. They are precise and appropriate and used in a manner so as to logically correspond with the presentation's underlying idea. ..."

OVE VON SPAETH, the Historian, Writer, and Researcher, investigates the ancient, still significant traces and the surprisingly many survived clues concerning the historical Moses - a New dimension explored. This task is thoroughly supported by the author being endowed with a substantial basis of historical and astronomical learning and experience.
          Altogether, in the various works of Ove von Spaeth, eventually published during his many years of intensive studies and exploration, this background combines with his comprehensive research into archaeology, Egyptian tradition, ancient languages, history of religion, anthropology, and factual historical important teachings of mystery religion and mythology. Throwing new light on the unusually abundant and also controversial material, and even using holistic angle, his research also extends to a special line of science: the cosmology of historical religions.

          "... a sense of the great, inner correlations of cultural history. The book contains enriching analyses of motifs (such as of "the burning bush") and interesting astronomic readings of Biblical texts emphasizing the positive aspects of an inter-disciplinary approach. Similarly, von Spaeth draws astonishing conclusions from the active history of language and religious ideas ...".

          "... A cultural-historical Odyssey that not only depicts an informative picture of a wide range of key events in the Hebrew Bible (Christian canon: the Old Testament), but by so doing is also important to decisive concepts and traditions of general religious phenomenological and intellectual historical character over the course of three thousand years ...
          Ove von Spaeth goes over the numerous, cultural-historical threads with a fine-toothed comb and "old-fashioned" spirit of research. Ove von Spaeth manages to establish a deeper understanding of a historical cultural tradition such as the Law of Moses and avoids the pitfall in which everything boils down to "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". - A polymath's tour de force that deserves a comprehensive readership of careful readers and which definitely can and should serve as a source of inspiration several generations ahead. ..."

          "... Both this book and the previous volumes are a fantastic source of inspiration because they're headed in other directions than conventional research. This is annoying to those who prefer to ambler down well-trodden paths, but interesting to anyone with the desire to meet the Biblical characters as people of flesh and blood. The crucial issue here is that the work points out previously unheeded correlations and makes it exciting to immerse oneself in the history of Moses and his era ...".

          "... With his work von Spaeth has brought back one of the great personalities of history from the misty world of myths - to which he has been relegated - now reinstalled into sheer reality. But during this endeavour the author has also been able to prove a very close connection between the ancient Egyptian perception of the world and a modern perceived realistic initiation psychology, this breathing new life and meaning into the gradually sectarian, petrified Christianity. In fact, via von Spaeth the Moses of 3,500 years ago becomes a life-giving source for modern people.
          At all times von Spaeth will find his supporters among psychologically and philosophically orientated historians. Nietzsche would have nodded approvingly at von Spaeth's - by the way - outstanding interpretation of Christianity's evolution from primary Christianity, its fall, and its ability to stay alive by means of secretly returning to its Egyptian roots and draw nourishment from that, and how this hidden side of Christianity all of a sudden came into flower as the humanistic movement of the Renaissance. - Ove von Spaeth says in photo-negative the same as Nietzsche in Antichrist. And so far also Kierkegaard...
          Sigmund Freud would have accepted - as a matter of course - von Spaeth's hypothetical basis, which makes Moses an Egyptian. "The Egyptian factor" as von Spaeth calls it - as being also a fundamental element in living Christianity - would have been acceptable to different history authors such as Oswald Spengler and Egon Friedell. And the close relation between Christianity and Buddhism - it is this relation Wagner deals with in "Parsifal". Obviously, Carl G. Jung would have taken von Spaeth's side. - In today's England a man like Colin Wilson would not feel alienated to von Spaeth's ideas.
          - The documentation presented here by von Spaeth is hard to escape. ... A central basis of the analysis of his texts is von Spaeth's use of a principle adopted by Max Weber, the sociologist and anthropologist, who calls it "Verstehen". - Reading this volume makes you at once want to read the three preceding volumes again! A fascinating world opens up under Ove von Spaeth's magnifying glass ...".

          "... He (OvS) is our guide on a wonderful journey to the Meccas of the mysteries of religion and to the cradle of our culture and religion. His ability to synthesize so many religious, historical and archaeological lines of thought is quite an achievement and communicating it to others is an even greater exploit. ...OvS writes in a light style without excessively long theoretical links - within the religious and historical material. This is knowledge that has unfortunately been met by thundering silence in some circles …".

          "... There are large gaps in the knowledge of official research in several of the same topics presented in the book. And a good many researchers with an urge for authoritarian "truth" in this world shy away from openly admitting the size of these gaps. The writer's knowledge and unprejudiced vision in this regard actually outdistance with sophisticated expertise the researchers who only think of imparting knowledge on what was agreed once upon a time ...".

          "... As far as research is concerned, Ove von Spaeth has passed the major test of apprenticeship long ago with his treatise on the ancient Egyptian star map, the oldest star map in the world - and in addition the master test with his five volume work about the historical Moses. A hallmark of quality, also striking in his many articles - now to be published as e-books, too. All seeking persons can find answers in Ove von Spaeth's texts informing women and men of today, the teacher, the vicar, and in particular the researcher - here, everybody can find the most unique and subtle information. Such concentrated knowledge in such a way of clarity and wisdom is hard to find elsewhere. ..."

          "... by an enormous effort of digging out the sources, fix their meaningful combination, research into many-facetted linguistics, and being informed about the underlying picture of the contemporary universe, the author have thrown an explanatory light on an otherwise so incomprehensible Bible. But also many other parts of our cultural heritage are being clearing up by this book. It is a gold mine of information ...".

          "... New research and investigation into the person of Moses. There have been dozens of candidates for the historical Moses and Ove von Spaeth makes a compelling argument by the correlation of a vast amount of ancient historical records that Moses was an Egyptian, next in line to be Pharaoh, who was supplanted by a relative. Moses was then exiled and his name removed from Egyptian records as if he did not exist ...".

          "... The Danish researcher Ove von Spaeth does, in his book series: "Assassinating Moses", set up a quite convincing theory. - I do not necessarily agree in all von Spaeth's conclusions, but certainly no researcher has ever come as close to the truth about Moses as he does ...".
