Bob Cornuke is the president of the Bible Archaeology Search and Exploration (BASE) Institute in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He is a former police officer and present-day Biblical archaeology explorer, known for styling himself after "Indiana Jones."

Biography

Cornuke's explorations have included discovering the Bible's Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia; journeying in Turkey with the late American astronaut, Jim Irwin, in search of Noah's Ark, evidence of ancient Assyrian and Babylonian flood accounts in the Zagros Mountains of Iran, and following the presumed trail of the Ark of the Covenant through Israel, Egypt, and the Ethiopian highlands. Cornuke has also engaged in expeditions searching the seafloor off the coast of Malta for the anchors from the Apostle Paul’s ship wreck, as described in the Bible's Book of Acts, chapter 27—which he discovered.

Cornuke has appeared on PAX TV, the History Channel, Dateline NBC, CBS, MSNBC, The 700 Club, and Fox Television’s Ripley's Believe It or Not. He has also been featured at the Steeling the Mind Bible Conferences.

In 2005, Cornuke earned his Ph.D. from Louisiana Baptist University and he presently serves as an adjunct speaker for LBU.
