Evidence For The Parting Of The Red Sea
http://www.twoorthree.net/2008/03/crossing-of-the.html
http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=19382 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 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. So, sleptics, I assume you guys have a "naturalistic explanation" for why Pharaoh would just cross a sea that wasn't parted for craps and giggles? Did he seriously think he could ride over water? |

"All kinds of people are finding coral and calling it chariot parts," says Richard Rives, president of Wyatt Archaeological Research in Tennessee. "It's most likely coral covered with coral. ... Opportunists are combining false things with the true things that are found. These people are making it up as they go to be TV stars."

It is simply astounding what some people will profess to believe.
Wasn't Wyatt the guy who found Noah's Ark AND the Ark of the Covenant? Somehow....he could never seem to produce proof of his "finds" but bible-thumpers pissed themselves with joy whenever he said he did. |

S&M, I thought you said the OT was just a bunch of myths? So why are you trying to use this hack to prove that it's historically accurate?

If he is trying to prove historical accuracy, then he's failing on a scale of epic.
But maybe that's the point. |

So, it is a very reasonable assumption to say Pharaoh drowned. |
