Reply #18: Actually some Russian scientist [View All]

[gimme a break]

said the parting of the Red Sea was possible. I'll have to search for the story. It's been a while since I read it so it may take a while.

But if there was a strong enough wind for long enough, the entire Jewish nation could have made the crossing.

And some Christian archaeologists say they've found chariot wheels and have pictures.

<ST. PETERSBURG, Russia -- Maybe Moses' parting of the Red Sea wasn't a miracle after all: A Russian mathematician has come up with a scientific explanation for the well-known biblical story. Naum Wolzinger says there's a reef at the Gulf of Suez near the spot of the Exodus that could make it possible to cross on foot if the tide and wind conditions were just so. But if the wind died down, the water would come flooding back over the reef, as it did to the Egyptians in Moses' story.>

This isn't the same article I read. Couldn't find it. But here's the jist of it.

And here's the link to the pictures of the chariot wheels.

However the archaeologists don't think the crossing was in the same place as the mathematician does.
