You will be surprised to see proof of Pharaoh's
chariot and bones of horses and men found in
the Red Sea.
Confirmation of the actual Exodus route has
come from divers finding coral-encrusted
bones and chariot remains in the Gulf of
Aqaba . ONE of the most dramatic records of
Divine intervention in history is the account of
the Hebrews' exodus from Egypt .
The subsequent drowning of the entire
Egyptian army in the Red Sea was not an
insignificant event, and confirmation of this
event is compelling evidence that the Biblical
narrative is truly authentic. Over the years,
many divers have searched the Gulf of Suezin
vain for artifacts to verify the Biblical account.
But carefully following the Biblical and
historical records of the Exodus brings you to
Nuweiba, a large beach in the Gulf of Aqaba,
as Ron Wyatt discovered in 1978.
Repeated dives in depths ranging from
60 to
200 feet deep (18m to 60m), over a stretch of
almost 2.5 km, has shown that the chariot
parts are scattered across the sea bed.
Artifacts found include wheels, chariot bodies,
as well as human and horse bones.
Divers
have located on the Saudi coastline opposite
Nuweiba as well. Since 1987, Ron Wyatt found
three four-spoke gilded chariot wheels.
Coral
does not grow on gold, hence the shape has
remained very distinct, although the wood
inside the gold veneer has disintegrated
making them too fragile to move.
The hope for future expeditions is to explore
the deeper waters with remote cameras or
mini-subs. GILDED CHARIOT WHEEL - Mute
witness to the miracle of the crossing of the
Red Sea by the Hebrews 3,500 years ago.
Found with a metal detector. Coral-encrusted
chariot wheel, filmed off the Saudi coastline,
matches chariot wheels found in
Tutankhamen's tomb.
Mineralized bone, one of many found at the
crossing site. This one tested by the
Department of Osteology at Stockholm
University, was found to be a human femur,
from the right leg of a 165-170cm tall man. It
is essentially 'fossilized, ' i.e., replaced by
minerals and coral, hence cannot be dated by
radiocarbon methods, although this specimen
was obviously from antiquity.
Chariot wheel
and axle covered with coral and up-ended.
Exodus 14:25 'And took off their chariot
wheels, that they drave them heavily...' .
When Ron Wyatt first visited Nuweiba in 1978,
he found a Phoenician style column lying in
the water. Unfortunately the inscriptions had
been eroded away, hence the column's
importance was not understood until 1984
when a second granite column was found on
the Saudi coastline opposite -- identical to the
first, except on this one the inscription was
still intact!
In Phoenician letters (Archaic Hebrew), it
contained the words: Mizraim (Egypt );
Solomon; Edom ; death; Pharaoh; Moses; and
Yahweh, indicating that King Solomon had set
up these columns as a memorial to the
miracle of the crossing of the sea.
Saudi
Arabia does not admit tourists, and perhaps
fearing unauthorized visitors, the Saudi
Authorities have since removed this column,
and replaced it with a flag marker where it
once stood.
How deep is the water?
The Gulf of Aqabais
very deep, in places over a mile (1,600m)
deep. Even with the sea dried up, walking
across would be difficult due to the steep
grade down the sides. But there is one spot
where if the water were removed, it would be
an easy descent for people and animals. This
is the line between Nuweiba and the opposite
shore in Saudi Arabia .
Depth-sounding expeditions have revealed a
smooth, gentle slope descending from
Nuweiba out into the Gulf. This shows up
almost like a pathway on depth-recording
equipment, confirming it's Biblical description,
'...a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty
waters.' (Isaiah 43:16)
The Bible writers frequently refer to the
miracle of the Red Sea crossing, for it was an
event which finds no equal in history. The
Hebrew prophets describe the sea at the
crossing site as '.the waters of the great
deep...the depths of the sea...' (Isaiah 51:10)
Knowing the exact spot to which the Bible
writers were referring, what is the depth there?
The distance between Nuweiba and where
artifacts have been found on Saudi coast is
about 18km (11 miles).
Along this line, the deepest point is about
800m (2,600 feet). No wonder that Inspired
writers of the Bible described it as the mighty
waters. And no wonder that not a single
Egyptian survived when the water collapsed in
upon them..Comment please!!
I studied the Ron Wyatt expose of all this and to me, this could have been the only place they could cross. There's also melted sand near the place where the great pillar of fire would have stood. I can't see it any other way, but proof positive that it really happened. Marc Trainor
