The Path The Israelites Took Through The Red Sea Has Been Found

Archaeological evidence has been found that supports the biblical account of the Israelites' crossing of the Red Sea. Artifacts like a preserved gold-plated chariot wheel and human bones have been discovered along the path they took. Satellite images also show an underwater land bridge in the Gulf of Aqaba with steep slopes on either side, indicating this was the likely site of the crossing described in the Bible. Maps pinpoint the location of Mount Sinai and canyon the Israelites traveled through to reach the shore before dividing the waters.

ASTOUNDING BIBLE PROPHECY

THE PATH THE ISRAELITES TOOK


THROUGH THE RED SEA
HAS BEEN FOUND
As you probably know, God separated the waters of the Red Sea
and led the Israelites through the sea to escape their persecution
by pharaoh in Egypt. Chariot
wheels, human bones, and
other artifacts have been
found along the path they
took. Here is a photograph of a
gold-plated chariot wheel.
Since coral does not adhere to
gold, the gold on the wheel
was preserved in excellent
condition. However, the wheel
cannot be moved, because the
wood beneath the gold has long since rotted away, and any
attempt to move the wheel would destroy the very thin layer of
gold.

What is truly amazing is the bottom of the sea in the vicinity of


their crossing. See the cutaway diagram of a bathymetric chart of
the sea bottom. God prepared a relatively shallow undersea land
bridge for them to use for their crossing. On either side of this
land bridge the depth of the water is about 5,000 feet, where the
underwater slope to the bottom is much too steep for them to
have crossed.

ASTOUNDING BIBLE PROPHECY

The Israelites crossed the Red Sea at the Gulf of Aqaba. Here is
the path they took from Egypt. Notice the true location of Mt. Sinai
on the map. It's the red dot in the lower right-hand corner.

Here is a satellite picture looking east to the gulf showing the


canyon through the mountains leading to the beach area at the
shore. The Israelites travelled through this canyon and assembled
on the beach before crossing the sea.
