Ahh, great man. Bible and spade firmly in each hand. Found the ashes of the red heifer and the chariots of the pharaoh under the red sea. Facts were no hindrance to one such as he. He could bravely do without them. Where would the world be without men like Wyatt?

I'm rather ashamed that a fellow Swede, Dr. Lennart Möller, thinks that he's found chariot wheels in the Red Sea. A pity he couldn't recover the objects so that we could examine if there are any differences between them and valves from contemporary boats.

Moeller is just trying to cash in on the "work" of Ron Wyatt.

I'm unfortunate enough to have a quote from the terrible movie burned into my brain:

"All I know is that if it isn't here, it's somewhere else"

And he didn't have evidence that it existed, he just had a feeling. Funny how so many statements based solely on faith just sound so stupid, even in movies.

True, by itself it doesn't.

But doesn't it prove that copper mining existed in the area and during the time the King Solomon is supposed to have ruled?

Solomon's mines could still be a mythologization of a real mine rather than a real person.

I don't think that's ever been in question....

Who else could have done it? :huh:

Didn't the Egyptians have copper mines in Sinai,- near enough to south Jordan? -perhaps it was them, especially during the New Kingdom era, not long before the alleged reign of Solomon. I think there are hieoglyphic inscriptions around those parts too.
