Chariot
Wheels found at the bottom of the Red Sea
Did Moses
really part the Red Sea? Was this event a true miracle, a contrived
myth, or a natural event?
And
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah caused
the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made
the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children
of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground:
and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and
on their left (Exodus 14:21-22).
Red
Sea. Evidence of the crossing of 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 Seawas
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.

MORE
EVIDENCE!
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 radio carbon 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!
|
|
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 Aqaba is very deep, in
places over a mile (1,600m) deep. Even with the sea dried
up, walking across would be difficult due to the steepgrade
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 ondepth-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 wonderthat
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. ( Above right NUWEIBABEACH- the spot where the crossing
began)
