Professor Barrett started the session, "At our last meeting, Sarah place the problem succinctly, and in to the proper context - the amazing evidence that's been found - much previously decade - about Israelites crossing the Red-colored Ocean and also the drowning from the Egyptian Chariot military - highlighting the very unusual topographical 'set-up' with logic, asking whether such irregularities is definitely an indicator of some thing than mere happenstance. To refresh our reminiscences of Sarah's points: 1) the gigantic size Nuweiba Beach - the run-removed from a typical-size, now-dry river mattress which meanders between rugged hillsides and a pair of) the ridge path - as both way of their escape and also the destruction from the going after chariot military. This type of large flat area as Nuweiba Beach could be essential for numerous desperate individuals to organize themselves and steer clear of stress - after being put up out for thus many, many miles across the twisting, narrow wadi, absolutely susceptible to attack - and also to escape a quick military pressure of equine-attracted chariots going after them. The issue - unanswerable dispositively, is really a challenging one - isn't the improbability from the topographic products - especially their close closeness to one another - very persuasive they seem like 'prop set-up'? And - if that's the case, why so? A solution - possibly arranged with a Creator in the origins of Earth itself - for that precise reason for the Exodus event? Obviously, it's unprovable in either case, however it appears a legitimate and fascinating 'hypothetical' - with personal religious belief and judgment. Such unusual topography - fitting so perfectly using the highly improbable occasions told within the Bible. It's a fascinating concept!"
Lawrence leaped in, "I have dug up some particulars that will help flesh out what we should know of the area. As had Sarah, he got some notes in energy-point format:
"The inclination from the ridge path - it comes from Nuweiba Beach in a 20:1 slope, as the ascent to Saudi Arabia is 14:1, both of them are workable for any desperate people by walking." "The length of approximately 7 or 8 miles can also be suitable for the Bible's here we are at the Israelites to mix, in part of the evening, or 3 to 4 hrs." "The diving expedition happened fairly lately, early in the year of 2000 underwater photography ended using both an in-depth-diving remote-control submersible and individual divers. Also, while Egypt and Saudi Arabia stop elimination of underwater items, photography is allowed. A minimum of one half-dozen books as well as the DVD film show the clumps of chariot remains, mostly barrier-covered, thrown for miles across the ridge path-way, between Sinai peninsula shoreline and Saudi Arabia." "One artifact is really a gilt wheel, supplying verification from the Bible's story from the dying of Pharaoh in Yam Suf - a four-spoked wooden wheel engrossed in 'electrum', that is a pale yellow alloy of silver and gold, untouched by barrier - which doesn't stick to gold or silver. The wheel clearly signifies a "royal" charioteer. Photography shows it as being laying flat and aside from other items, it's circa 1400 BC, which corresponds perfectly towards the Exodus period." "Also supplying a verifying technical point, sensitive underwater metal sensors, were utilised to ensure the barrier-covered wooden wheels have been strengthened with bronze - the Egyptians from the era getting developed metallurgical alloying like a procedure for strengthening their chariot wheels." "Of unusual interest was one more discovery on the Egyptian and Saudi Arabian shores, referred to by Dr. Moeller, 'Two identical posts, built of the identical material and also the same size, put together on each side from the Red-colored Ocean - Nuweiba Beach, Egypt, and also the opposite shoreline in Saudi Arabia - wherever the folks of Israel are assumed to possess entered.' His explanation, 'King Solomon most likely erected them' also, he noted the Saudi government had lately removed the column on its side and changed it having a metal plate."
"Excellent", stated the professor, "However- additionally towards the implication from the gilt chariot wheel - can there be every other extra-scriptural evidence regarding scriptural references towards the dying of Pharaoh's firstborn boy within the Tenth Plague, as well as the drowning of Pharaoh themself together with his chariot military. Does anybody are conscious of something more?Inch
Ranah removed her throat, "Well, you will find several historic items which completely offer the Bible's tales of both dying of Pharaoh's firstborn boy Tutankhamen within the Tenth Plague, and also the drowning of Pharaoh. There's a amazing Amarna letter in the widow of Pharaoh towards the King from the Hittites, neighboring individuals to Egypt at that time, caused by the dying of her Pharaoh husband. The 2, together, also resolve a vintage historic puzzle, since the invention from the tomb of Boy-King Tut in 1922 - why an 18 years old prince is hidden within the most lavish of tombs, once the established tradition in Egypt continues to be that every Pharaoh develops their own tomb throughout their own lifetime, like a reflection of his existence and accomplishments."
"The Full, royal widow of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, creates a most unusual Amarna letter to King Suppiluliumas from the Hittites, 'My husband is dead and that i don't have any boy. People if you have many sons. Should you send me your sons, he'll be my hubby, [it's] repugnant in my experience to consider certainly one of my servants as husband. Because most ancient occasions.. [has] never happened before. Basically were built with a boy must i email overseas.. humiliating in my experience and my country? He, who had been my hubby is dead and that i don't have any boy.'" "'Tutankhamen's Tomb,' creates Dr. Moeller in the book, was considered amazing.. nobody could know how a youthful heir to Egypt's throne.. accomplished this type of magnificent and ornate tomb, an individual dying-mask, that contains a wonderful display of gold, jewellery, etc.'197. In the past, each Pharaoh - especially one having a lengthy reign as ruler of the very wealthy Egypt - built their own tomb as they resided, including what may be necessary for his after-existence. Yet here - within the biggest, most ornate and lavish of tombs in most Egyptian history - was hidden an 18 years old prince." "Dr. Moeller's book, 'The Exodus Case', provides much solid reference material and advances probably the most amazing theory in response to the issue above - the youthful Prince Tutankhamen, Pharaoh's first-born boy, dies within the Tenth Plague then Pharaoh Amenhotep and the chariot military drown at a negative balance Ocean, so his is lost and so the Egyptian court decides to bury Prince Tutankhamen in Pharaoh's available tomb. Everything fits." "Verifying this type of theory is yet another Egyptian document, 'Young king [is] hidden in tomb.. initially ready for Ay.'" "Supporting the drowning from the Egyptian charioteers are a couple of claims within the Ipuyer scroll: 'See, he who rested wifeless found a noblewoman.. aren't any more.' This, written as history lengthy later on, clearly describes conditions after losing the Egyptian military, composed generally of upper-class males 'See now, the land is missing out on kingship. See, all of the ranks, they aren't within their place'". "Tel Amarna letters from neighboring metropolitan areas, dependent for defense on Egypt, request for troops. 'cities [are] threatened.. [we] beg Pharaoh.. send troops.. but no help comes'. This supports Pharaoh and the military getting been lost at a negative balance Ocean, as Egypt could be 'incapable of delivering any troops.' recovery of demoralized Egypt with no military, could be 'the start of the finish from the 18th empire.'" "Josephus, the Roman historian born a Jew, with utilisation of the Temple scrolls, quotes Manetho, Egyptian priest circa 300 BC concerning the 'easy conquest" of mighty Egypt through the Hyksos.'204 - logical when the Egyptian chariot military have been destroyed."
Professor Barrett selected the following session to be "Following the Red-colored Ocean Crossing", the Presenter to become Stewart.
