PARTING OF THE RED SEA http://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox/1181971e9ef1df50 Chariot Wheels found at the bottom of the Red Sea --- See pictures below and the route.
Evidence of the crossing of the Red Sea ... Pharaoh's drowned army.
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.
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.
(ABOVE GILDED CHARIOT WHEEL - Mute witness to the miracle of the crossing of the Red Seaby 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.
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... " Solomon's memorial pillars. 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!
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.
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 Seacrossing, 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.

BEACH- the spot where the crossing began) |
"And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out
thine hand over the sea,
that the waters many come again unto the
Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the
sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared;
and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD
overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
And the waters returned, and covered the
chariots, and the horsemen,
and all the host of Pharoah that came into the
sea after them;
there remained not so much as one of them.
But the children of Israel walked upon dry land
in the midst of the sea;
and the waters were a wall unto them on thier
right hand, and on their left.
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the
hand of the Egyptians:
and the people feared the LORD, and believed
the LORD, and his servant Moses."
