into Egypt as a slave, but he became under-Pharaoh!After 400 years there Moses, on Josephs orders,carried Josephs bones with him whenIsrael left Egypt.

Moses must

have lovedhis father verymuch! Its thelongest tomb

in the world!

Tomb of Amram,

Moses Father Exodus 6:20 AndAmram took himJochebed his father'ssister to wife; and shebare him Aaron andMoses: and the yearsof the life of Amram

[were] an hundred andthirty and sevenyears.

Moses brother Aaron helped him lead2-3 million of their people Israel out of Egypt.

Of the mountains that encircle the great bowl of Petra, none is morecommanding than Jabal Haroun, Aaron's Mountain, or Mt. Hor of the

Bible. At 1,350 metres above sea-level it is the highest peak in the area;and it is a place of great sanctity to the local people for here, they believe,

Moses' brother Aaron died and was buried.

Numbers 20:28 AndMoses stripped Aaronof his garments, andput them on Eleazarhis son; and Aaron

died there in the top ofthe mount [Hor]: andMoses and Eleazarcame down from themount.

Nuweiba beach at the gulf of Aqaba from where

they presumably crossed over

Pretty big beach no? For 2 million people?I always did wonder how that pillar offire could have stopped the Egyptiansby night. Just go around it! No sir!Those hills were too steep for their

chariots!


16/32

Checking sonar depth measurements, Wyattdiscovered an underwater land bridge exactly

between Nuweiba Beach & the Saudi side.


17/32

God divided the sea by an Eastern storm exposing thisunderwater land bridge & Moses went over it as if it were

dry land! Thats how 2-3 million of them could cross!

Exodus 14:21-22 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and theLORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that night, andmade the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided. And the children ofIsrael went into the midst of the sea upon the dry [ground]: and the waters[were] a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.


18/32

According to the Bible account Pharaohschariots tried to pursue them

original picture ofPharaohs chariots

EX. 14:23 The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even allPharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 it came to pass, that in themorning watch the LORD 25 took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily:so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for

them against the Egyptians. 26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine handover the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots,and upon their horsemen. 27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and thesea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled againstit; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 And the watersreturned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that

came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.


19/32

So Wyatt decided to go scuba diving & lookunderwater there! Guess what he discovered


20/32

Wheels of Pharaohs chariots that gotdrowned when trying to pursue them!

Artefacts foundinclude wheels,chariot bodies, aswell as human and

horse bones.Divers have locatedsuch on the Saudicoastline opposite

Nuweiba as well.


21/32

Since 1987, Ron Wyatt found three four-spoke gilded chariot wheels.

Coral does not grow on gold, hence the shape has remainedvery distinct, although the wood inside the gold veneer has

disintegrated making them too fragile to move.

The hope for future expeditions is to explore thedeeper waters with remote cameras or mini-subs.


22/32

A coral-encrusted chariot wheel, filmed off the Saudicoastline, matches chariot wheels found in

Tutankhamen's tomb.


23/32

Chariot wheel and axle covered withcoral and up-ended.

Exodus 14:25 'And took off their chariot

wheels, that they drave them heavily...'


24/32

Mineralized bone,one of many foundat the crossing sitetested by theDepartment ofOsteology atStockholmUniversity, wasfound to be ahuman femur, fromthe right leg of a

165-170cm tallman.It is essentially'fossilized, ' i.e.,replaced byminerals and coral,hence cannot bedated byradiocarbonmethods, althoughthis specimen wasobviously fromantiquity.


25/32

Solomon's Memorial Pillars.

When Ron Wyatt first visited Nuweiba in 1978, he found aPhoenician style column lying in the water. Unfortunately the

inscriptions had been eroded away, hence the column'simportance was not understood until 1984 when a second granite

column was found on the Saudi coastline opposite -- identical to

on ya oun p ars ng o omon pu on obeaches to commemorate the Red Sea crossing!

In Phoenician letters (ArchaicHebrew), it contained the words:Mizraim (Egypt ); Solomon;Edom; death; Pharaoh; Moses;and Yahweh, indicating thatKing Solomon had set up these

columns as a memorial to themiracle of the crossing of thesea.Saudi Arabia does not admittourists, and perhaps fearingunauthorized visitors, the SaudiAuthorities have since removedthis column, and replaced it witha flag marker where it oncestood.

to these archeologists the realHoly Mountain Sinai is.Fromhere

Hebrew Inscriptions Found in Arabia

a host of other evidence can be found on theArabian side of the water, including remains of

the golden calf, pillars, altars

forth

even the rock at Horeb that the Bible says Moseshit twice to get water for the people!


32/32

Sad to say mainstream anti-God media do notportray these true facts in the light of faith

But prefer to sceptically doubt such archaeological proofs tothe veracity & historicity of the Biblical account, one of the

most accurate history books in the world

"Commit your way to theLORD; trust in him, and he

will act". (Psalm:37:5)
