| Where
was the Red Sea
Crossing? |
|
| Ron
Wyatt found a beach on
the Gulf of Aqaba which
could easily have held
the multitude, their
flocks, and also
pharaoh's army. But
there's another
interesting fact about
this site. |

| Speaking
of pharaoh's army
pursuing the multitude,
he states:
"They
also seized upon the
passages by which they
imagined the Hebrews
might fly, shutting them
up between the
inaccessible precipices
and the sea; for there
was [on their roughness,
and obstructed their
flight; wherefore they
there pressed upon the
Hebrews with their army,
where [the ridges of]
the mountains were
closed with the
sea..." |

The
Beach at Nuweiba
"The Red Sea
Crossing Site" |
|
|
When
Ron Wyatt first visited
the site of Nuweiba in
1978, these mountains
could be seen on the
south end of the beach
area which terminated at
the sea - no passage
would have been possible
to the south. (See color
photo below of this
area, where the
mountains meet the sea
on the south end.) |

Ron
found the chariot parts
when diving on the
southern end of the
beach. This implied that
the multitude traveled
to this section of the
beach. |

The
Beach at the
"Crossing
Site" |

|
Pharaoh's
army entered from the
same wadi, which is the
only entrance onto the
beach. |

This
wadi is located midway
of the beach, and once
the army entered the
area, the multitude's
only means of escape
would have been to the
south. But the mountains
to the south extend all
the way to the sea -
they had no way of
escape, or so it seemed. |
