PARTING OF
THE RED
SEA

Chariot Wheels

Sea -- See
pictures below and the route

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. (ABOVE GILDED CHARIOT WHEEL - Mute witness to the
miracle of the crossing of the Red Sea by the Hebrews 3,500 years ago..

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 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 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 right NUWEIBABEACH- the spot
where the crossing began)
