2000+ year old human and horse remains in the sea.
I'm 99% sure that's silly.
I have a good dvd on this topic called “The Exodus Revealed”.

Interesting, but I’d like to see it from more reliable sources.
An excellent collection of pics of nautical charts is here...@http://www.truebiblecode.com/understanding249.html
Would love to see images and videos.
What is striking is the lack of reefs at Nuweiba vs. other parts of the Sinai. Crossing would be extremely difficult if not impossible over those reefs, but at Nuweiba it seems possible because of the sandy bottom.
I heard this theory a couple of years ago and I find it extremely interesting.
Aside from the problems that others have already pointed out I also think these items would have been deeply buried under sediment by now. The Spanish ships in the Caribbean are buried and they are only a few hundred years old.
I believe in the historicity of the Bible.
I have read about the theory that Mt. Sinai was not in the Sinai Peninsula as it is referred to as being in the land of Midian.
I have also read about the theory that the “Red” Sea really meant Reed Sea, and was somewhere near the Mediterranean in the Sinai area.
If this part of the Red Sea is the only area where a possible submarine land bridge over the chasm between the Arabia Penninsula and Egypt exists and the corssing was through the Red and not Reed Sea, it happened here.
The area is worthy of serious archeological examination.
On the OTHER hand, I’m not sure that the evidence they claim they have discovered is valid. Its hard to believe that wooden objects would have survived over so long a period of time unless they were left in a really deep area below the oxygen zone, as some objects at the depths of the Black Sea. You might expect to find some metal artifacts however.
But even if you find metal artifacts from ancient Egypt there, linking them with absolute certainty with the events of the Exodus might prove difficult.
I hope this story is true. However, as with stories about Noah’s Ark, the Ark of the Covenant, the Shroud of Turin, and other religious artifacts, I’m always skeptical about the claims. It seems that wishful thinking rather objective analysis usually drive the conclusions.
Well, Michael Rood is always a bit sensational in his ways (after all he has to make a living), but he is nevertheless right (and so was Wyatt, which is why the world demonizes his finds).
I’ve just done some snorkelling in the Gulf of Aqaba and found several chariot wheels and a vertical axle. The best photo is the one of a six spoke wheel and can be seen at: https://www.hanotzrim.com/red-sea-crossing.php (together with the other artefacts).
