Chariot wheels were found in the Red Sea dated from 1400 BC will doubters ever admit archaeology proves bible?

Question

I know the answer of course. But just like the stables that were uncovered that could house 500 horses, 8 spoked wheels that were only used in the dynasty around 1400 BC have been found. Doubters always said there was no proof of so many chariots and horses as the biblical claim. First the stables....now the wheels. I Love archaeology!

One of the most famous stories of the Bible is God's parting of the Red Sea to save the Israelites from the Egyptian army and the subsequent drowning of soldiers and horses in hot pursuit.

But is there evidence that such an event did in fact happen – and if so, precisely where did it take place?
The issue is surfacing some 3,500 years after the event is said to have taken place with reports of Egyptian chariot wheels found in the Red Sea, photographs to document it and new books by scientists that could lead to a whole remapping of the Exodus route and a fresh look at ancient biblical accounts. http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=33168

Also note the pic of the "land bridge". As we know that when a tsunami hits after a strong earthquake, the waters receed. That land bridge would have been exposed for a time during such an event. Sweet. :-)

oh the atheists! your answer are hillarious...chariot wheels fall off a boat? comedy. but thanks for reaffirming what i already knew.

more lies..99% of archaeology disproves the bible? based on what? YOur idiocy? keep telling lies and you'll believe it.

celtic rose another brain dead slut. pathetic logic and flawed reasoning as usual from pagan morons. but thanks! 3 holes and no brains what else could i expect?

Answer 1

I love it how people at the drop of a hat think the world is going to end just because someone made a new discovery.

You're *not* a marine archaeologist, therefore you don't make it your priority to know what ships those days transported. Archaeologists have found Amphora's - still filled with wine - at the bottom of the seas (including the Red Sea)... don't tell me that was because people used to live and drink there... especially since even shards of ships wrecks were found at least within a kilometre of the Amphora's. Egyptians - especially in the late days of the empire - travelled a lot by water and transported a lot by water. Which you - since you're so certain about everything else - should know. At some point in time, they *definitely* transported chariots or chariot compartiments.

Second; I've read the article, and so far no *actual* professional archaeologist has acknowledged that those things found are actual chariot wheels. The man who found them was only a forklift driver, the wife of the deceased *amateur* archaeologist (note how it say amateur rather than professional) who is only linked to archaeology by marriage and didn't have decent studies regarding the subject could't have given a professional opinion at all... They've never in their life seen anything to compare or even carbon-date it with. The only somewhat professional who gave an opinion, is an actual archaeologist.


Sadly enough for you I've studied history from a qualified professional archaeologist. I got along with her great and she in return told me how things work in archaeology. And she would say exactly the same thing as I will now.

Complete bull sh!te unless proven otherwise... professionally.

Answer 2

Yeah, yeah, World Net Daily is a religious right news media outlet. If you have read the article, where is that 8 spoke wheel now ( you know, to make it official), they also made the same claim about Noah's Ark as well.

"Curiously, no one can account for the precise whereabouts of that eight-spoked wheel today, though Hassan is on videotape stating his conclusion regarding authenticity"

Video taping it's authenticity is not the same, and only one claim it's authenticity is not the same as several people to examine the evidence, that one person could be wrong, and lastly where is the ONE unaccounted wheel?

Someone should be able to find bones from the horses, the chariot's and wheels, let's see; 500 horses 2per chariot = 250 chariot's which will equal 500 wheels + weapons and clothing and equipment for the chariot to horse, I'm sure they can find more than just one wheel, the article is from 2003, and nothing new has came forward since then.

Most likly it's a fake.

Answer 3

They didn't fall off a ferry?

There are barns in the us that hold 500 horses ergo the buybull is right?

What if that barn belonged to Odin and Sleipnir. Won't you be sorry at Ragnarok for believing in a false book.

There is an old boat found on a mountain. Doesn't make it Noah's especially since the story of Noah is blatant plagiarism of a much older religion (see Gilgamesh.)

I love archaeology. So, are you going to use it like you use the buybull to misinterpret things? Or do you accept all archaeology? For instance, Jesus's burial tomb is found along with his son and his wife Mary Magdelaine?

Or do you get to just toss that aside because it doesn't fit your dogma.

Big deal, a chariot found at the bottom of a sea. What does that have to do with a magical sky fairy? The city of Troy (see Iliad) was discovered, ergo Christianity is wrong because the ancient Greeks had different gods like Zeus.

Since you doubt the existence of Zeus, (may he strike you with a thunderbolt) will you EVER ADMIT THAT ARCHAEOLOGY proves Greek Mythology, Norse Myth, et al, et al, et al.

Answer 4

You get your answers from a religious website, how impartial of you.

"Did the Red Sea Part? No Evidence, Archaeologists Say"

NORTH SINAI, Egypt, April 2 — On the eve of Passover, the Jewish holiday that celebrates the story of Moses leading the Israelites through this wilderness out of slavery, Egypt’s chief archaeologist took a bus full of journalists into the North Sinai to showcase his agency’s latest discovery.

Shawn Baldwin for The New York Times

A grave containing a female skeleton near the military fort. Egyptian archaeologists say no evidence has surfaced to confirm the Exodus story.

It didn’t look like much — some ancient buried walls of a military fort and a few pieces of volcanic lava. The archaeologist, Dr. Zahi Hawass, often promotes mummies and tombs and pharaonic antiquities that command international attention and high ticket prices. But this bleak landscape, broken only by electric pylons, excited him because it provided physical evidence of stories told in hieroglyphics. It was proof of accounts from antiquity.

That prompted a reporter to ask about the Exodus, and if the new evidence was linked in any way to the story of Passover. The archaeological discoveries roughly coincided with the timing of the Israelites’ biblical flight from Egypt and the 40 years of wandering the desert in search of the Promised Land.

“Really, it’s a myth,” Dr. Hawass said of the story of the Exodus, as he stood at the foot of a wall built during what is called the New Kingdom.

Answer 5

People jump to conclusions before they even have the facts....... Especially anxious christians desperate to prove SOME part of their bible is true.

This excerpt is taken directly from your article.....

"....despite all of Elmer's excitement, others who have been to the same location are not so sure what is being viewed underwater are the remnants of the great chase and urge extreme caution regarding the unsubstantiated claims.

"All kinds of people are finding coral and calling it chariot parts," says Richard Rives, president of Wyatt Archaeological Research in Tennessee. "It's most likely coral covered with coral. ... Opportunists are combining false things with the true things that are found. These people are making it up as they go to be TV stars."
Even the wife of the man who did this says "it was very easy to assume (wrongly) that every item on the flat bottom had historical significance.

[At first] I thought everything was a chariot wheel!" Mrs. Wyatt exclaimed, noting how difficult it is for the untrained eye to distinguish an artifact from a piece of coral. "I'm just trying to be cautious about over-identifying too much..."

I find it rather suspicious that egyptian government does not allow things to be taken so they coincidentally cannot take anything to run further tests/studies on the items. Is it possible these things were planted there and not allowed to be removed for fear of someone revealing a possible hoax? Similar to the shroud of turin.

Answer 6

Ok, so archeology proves that the Hebrews wrote down their history. That doesn't prove there is a god. There is Archological evidence that the Trojan war was real too? Why can't you just admit that Zeus and Posidon exist? Ahhh, does it not work that way?

By showing us and pointing out there is a land bridge helps us the atheist you idiot. Then that's all it was. He took people out over a land bridge and god had nothing to do with it. Think they embellished the story a little. Think about it.

Answer 7

oh man that wheel probably got there by some crazy israeli or christian who bought that rare artifact and dropped it conveniently in that location to try to fabricate evidence.

sarcasm of course...archaeology always proves the bible accurate. if muslim nations would let archaeologists dig more we could prove more! and the blasphemers answers aren't surprising either.

to the "Evolved ditz" above like i'd really trust an egyptian archaeologist The archaeologist, Dr. Zahi Hawass,....GONG! they can't even admit that the egyptians did not build the pyramids or the sphinx which are dated to 20,000 BC or earlier....but thanks for your propaganda and lies!

Answer 8

Okay, so they found chariot wheels. Big whoop. There were chariots all over the place back then. How, exactly, does that prove the bible is true? It proves chariots existed, and that's all it proves.

Answer 9

You know, they have not been brought up or dated. The odds are that when they are examined on the surface they aren't even chariot wheels much less Egyptian. Further, did it ever occur to you that they could have fallen off a boat?

You guys will jump to every single possible conclusion.

Answer 10

Hey, look, a wheel at the bottom of the Red Sea. Impressive piece of evidence indeed!
