horse and human remains strewn like battlefield wreckage on the bottom of the reed sea

2000+ year old human and horse remains in the sea.

I'm 99% sure that's silly.

The Exodus was about 1400+ BC, making it 3400+ years ago.

Yep! Wooden wheels or chariot cabs also.

Not necessarily, it would depend on the chemical composition of the water and the items. There of course would be no flesh but metals, wood or bone could have been reserved in whole or in part.

I am sure it's just an amazing coincidence ;)

After all horses can probably swim for a mile or so pulling a chariot and soldiers. It was the first primitive battleship.

There’s a reason it’s called “Wing Nut Daily.”

I would assume they mean swords, shields, helmets, etc. of the charioteers, and harness hardware, bridle bits, and metal decorations from the horses. That’s just a WAG, of course.

If the 'reed sea' is an anaerobic environment, it is possible for there to be remains.

BUT... let's think outside the box a little.

Is is possible that after 'battle', that the 'winners' may have found it easier (and a lot less smellier) to shove all the remains of their enemies (and their dead fellow soldiers and dead horses) off into the water ????????????????????????????

Leaving a bunch of dead bodies laying around decaying is not exactly a good idea. Digging a big enough hole to dispose of all of them, is a huge drain on manpower, especially with battle weary troops.

It does sound a bit much, but in 1976 I was SCUBA diving not more than 20 miles from my house, when I found a Mastodon tusk in about 30’ of salt water.

I have now looked at the pic at the link. I am not at all convinced that the axles would still be intact. It looks faux to me.

I thought the same thing- but maybe they found metal parts of horse tack and metal pieces of whatever the humans had. Remains of their stuff...maybe what the author meant but sure is poorly written.
