Chariot wheels found in Red Sea?

Possible evidence of Israelite Red Sea crossing.

Interesting article, if only they can confirm the exact area of the crossing with the Biblical account.

The article was posted June 21, 2003. In four and a half years why wouldn't they have salvaged the wheel if the actually believed it was real?

The wheels are covered in coral growth, plus I believe that the Egyptian authorities just plain won't let them...

Corals take the form of the objects on which they grow, and those sure look like wheels tome, including the spokes. TBN ran a documentary on the Swedish team who did the discovery. Fascinating!

Yes, what Janet said, the Egyptians refuse to have them brought up for examination.

Re: Chariot wheels found in Red Sea?

Yes, it cannot be proven that it is a wheel and Egypt allows no excavation. The growth certainly seems to show a perfectly round object and looks quite interesting.

A lot of Egyptian history was destroyed through archaeology and theft so I understand but you wish there was authorized examination here. But would the kingdom of the pharoahs admit they met their destruction here? Seems doubtful.

Great, so where's the rest of the wheels?

There were several objects in the water. Not enough to support a large Egyptian army. After this much time, it could be off a wagon from 1000 years ago too.

The Exodus was around 3,400 years ago. A lot can happen in that time period. My guess is there would have to be a lot of digging.

This is from the article. The wheel referenced was authenticated in the late '70s early '80s.

She cites Ron's discovery of a wheel hub that he brought to the surface in the late 1970s as proof.

The hub had the remains of eight spokes radiating outward and was examined by Nassif Mohammed Hassan, director of Antiquities in Cairo. Hassan declared it to be from the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, explaining the eight-spoked wheel was used only during that dynasty around 1400 B.C.

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.
