Can anyone explain this?

Question

What Moses crossed in the Hebrew text was the Yom Suph, which got mistakenly translated in the Bible as "the Red Sea." In fact it means the Sea of Reeds, a swampy marshy piece of land near the present day Suez Canal. It is of interest to note that if Moses had actually crossed the Red Sea, he went hundreds of miles out of his way and the Israelites would have had to average five-minute miles to have gotten through that body of water in the time the Book of Exodus says it took for its navigation.

Answer 1

Could it be possible that the layout of the land was a little different than it is now? After all, people had to cross the Red Sea in order to get to and from Egypt. Was there a bridge back then? Was the water level low, or not there in different parts of the year?

Also, did you know that the layout of the land is currently changing at an accelerated rate? The East African Rift goes through there. It also goes through the Jordan River Valley. That's where the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee is.

So there are prophesies of earthquakes with have not occurred yet, and there were probably changes in the land between now and then as well. It was simply not as it is now.

This sounds more like a math exercise....very interesting, but I think you missed the point of the story in the first place.
