evidence that the Biblical narrative is truly authentic. Over the years, many

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.

human and horse bones. Divers have located on the Saudi coastline opposite
Nuweiba as well.

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 radio carbon methods, althoug h 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 S audi 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 Aqabais 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)

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. ( A bove right NUWEIBABEACH- the spot where the crossing began).

Hey Rob, thanks for posting, this is a very important discovery, our pastor told us about it last week but didn't hear anything about it on the news.

Just wondered if it came from a verifiable source.....I'd be suprised if it weren't a hoax someone started.
