C1ay Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Ok, when it comes to the Hebrews crossing of the Red Sea..After extensive archeological investigation throughout the region, nothing has ever been found that can conclusively be tied to the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt - or can even argue for a large population of people ever occupying the area. Sorry, no winner this time, please try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, no winner this time, please try again. now wouldn't that typical of you, such things are expected. It's not the lack of evidence that takes you away from consideration, it's the lack of desire for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you can provide some more specific archeological references, I doubt it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMTee Posted May 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Ok...you have your evidence of it being false..but these things are suportive of it...it is a large, flat underwater landbridge that goes straight to the other side, the beach that is on one side has cliffs surrounding it by land, so that they have nothing but the sea to look at, except for a gap in the middle connecting the beach to a large path that goes all the way to Egypt, chariot wheels and bones of people (the riders) are scattered all over the sea bed on both sides of the landbridge, two man-made pillers, one on both sides of the land bridge for some reason. And the plus evidence they might find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the plus evidence they might find.Local peoples with a need to regularly cross a body of water, a river, lake etc., will seek out a shallow passage and may even mark it for future use. People through the ages could have used a shallow crossing like that and there would be an accumulation of human artifacts in the areas as a result. Just because a shallow crossing exists doesn't mean it was created by some supernatural power for some mass exodus. Bodies of water around the world have shallow places. So what.

That would be a considerate thought..although, this is not the only thing that is suported by geological findings that the Bible claims ...the wheels on the sea floor date clear up to the year that the Bible story claims to have taken place. (for one...determining by the amount of spokes on the wheels, and the style). NOTE: all the wheels seem to be seperated from the chariots. this is described in Exodus also. They also found Judicial rock carvings eather at the site, or other sites. They have also found the 12 wells in 70 palmtrees location, the bitter spring. the rock on the hill that gushed water from it, the golden calf site, and the real Mt. Sinai (which has evidence for every story that the Bible claims took place on the mountian. And other exodus events, those of which I cannon think of for the moment.

lindagarrette Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 go search on www.google.com , and typg "search for the real mt. sinai" or "Hebrews crossing the red sea". I do not know who all worked on it. this land bridge goes strate to the other side, its flat on top No such thing. Information from google searches shows you are completely misinformed. Egyption historians make no mention of it. Even biblical archeologists, who dreamed up the so called evidence in the first place have conceded there were no tribes of Hebrews in Egypt.

IrishEyes Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 eMTee is probably talking about this sitehttp://www.bibleplus.org/discoveries/redsea.htm It has almost everything that he's mentioned so far. Of course, one has to wonder if he has checked any of the other sites that come up when you google "Red Sea Crossing Hebrew"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 The Bible..in my opinion has facts and ficticious stories. You have to remember that this is a story that is comprised of many different people passing the stories on to others. You know...like the telephone game.....some of it has to be exaggerated..right? Also people enterpret different meanings to what they read or hear.Phoenix, There is a difference with The Bible and the way the telephone game is usually played. If you took a group of 20 people and told them all the same phrase and then sent them to 20 different circles where they played the traditional telephone game and then you brought the 20 groups back together and compared what made it to the end, yu would have an agreement as to what the original message was. This is how the written Bible we have today was compiled. Do you doubt the existence of Ghengis Khan? Eric the Red? We have far more archaeological evidence for Bible stories than we do of those two and many other historical figures you would have no problem believing in. Then it just becomes a matter of where you put your faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pillars found on eather side of the underwater land bridge suport that it was surely the Hebrews crossing the sea, and suports why. with one of the pillars having writeing in Hebrew on it. "This monument is erected by King Solomon, king of Israel, in honor of Yahweh in commemoration of the crossing of the Red Sea." "MIZRAIM (Egypt), SOLOMON, EDOM, DEATH, PHARAOH, MOSES, YAHWEH." with the Hebrew words for Egypt, death, water, pharaoh, Yahweh, and Solomon, and concluded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eMTee Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Where did you find this info, eMTee? Off of several diffrent sites. Hey, can you find me a site that uses the "evidence" that was found, against the Biblical claim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumab Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I'm not the one argueing with you... so, no, not right now ;) But I am interested in these sites you allude to. If you get a chance, could you find them? I'm a little short on time at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
