PARTING OF THE RED SEA: 
 
Chariot Wheels found at the bottom of the Red Sea

You will be surprised to see proof of Pharaoh's chariot and bones

of horses and men found in the Red Sea .

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 .

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 Suez in 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.

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 (above center).

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 drove 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 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.  (Above NUWEIBA BEACH- the

spot where the crossing began)
