Chariot Wheels found in the Red Sea (Gulf of Aqaba)

Inshallah

A chariot wheel fixed to axels standing at attention on the seabed.

Above a 4-spoked chariot wheel on the Red Sea seabed. Found in 1998.

The Bible said all the chariots of Egypt and 600 choice chariots, or gold veneered models, were in the army pursuing God's people.

Red Sea Crossing

Red Sea or Sea of Reeds?

Since reeds only grow in fresh water, scholars have looked for centuries for a fresh water lake the Israelites could have crossed and of course none exists.
Could a more accurate word for the Hebrew phrase "Yam Suph" be "seaweed" instead of reeds? Could this be referring to the part of the present Red Sea known as the Gulf of Aqaba –where these chariot wheels were found?

The name Red Sea probably stems from its proximity to Edom, the land occupied by the descendants of Esau, whose name in Hebrew means Red.

In 1 Kings 9:26 we have a location that can be identified today to make it simple for us to tell where the Red Sea is. It was a port where King Solomon built and maintained a fleet of merchant ships. It was called Ezion Geber and you can still see its remains today near the resort city of Elat at the Northern end of the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red sea.

Thank you for reading,

  15. Hi Pachinesi,I have just read your link, good point.. I don’t know who made this mapand I only posted the photos to show the events which were written .Also, from experience, the Jewish seem to have their own belief as to where locations are and when events happened as does the Arabs and this is why there is so much war and insanity in the Mid East. Thank you for sharing your links and pointing out some problems.:)Fatimah
