The Science of the Red Sea’s Parting

Unbelievers often see the miracles described in the Bible as fiction or metaphor. However, according to the survey, there is at least one thing considered impossible - the separation of the Red Sea leaves Moses and the Israelites who run away - perhaps it may have happened

Carl Drews, a software engineer and lead researcher, expressed himself as "one of the many Christians who accepted scientific evolutionism". But as the Washington Post pointed out, he said that his belief did not affect his science, his colleagues seem to agree mostly. Originally as his master's thesis - work in the Red Sea was reviewed and published by scientific journals and was supported by his current employer, the famous National Center for Atmospheric Research.

Based on the idea that Drews' work is based on a series of archaeological evidence, it is East Nile Delta, which is not actually the Red Sea, but the waters called Lake Tanze in Washington State. Road Thinking about the situation of the lake thousands of years ago, the coastal phenomenon known as "the descent of the wind", in other words - the very strong wind - blows from the east and water to cause a storm surge in another part It may push. Lake water, but completely remove water from where the wind blows. As the Washington Post wrote, these events recently occurred in Lake Erie and part of the Nile Delta.

Drewz created a computer model of the ancient system to prove that this may certainly occur in 1250 BC, and the Washington Post continued considering his guessed parameters for the lake . Drews discovered that at a crucial moment Moses and the people of Israel had to cross the lake for about four hours.

Of course, there are many assumptions here: the intersection occurs in the lake instead of the Red Sea; the timing of the Israelis is correct; Drew obtains the parameters of all the lakes; perhaps most importantly, the Exodus It is certainly history. It is not a documented, imaginary work. As the post concludes, "Although Drew can explain the influence of the atmosphere and the ocean which may certainly occur, we try to suggest that this phenomenon can explain the" event "of the Bible That is totally different. "

Where is "the sea of ​​reed"? The first thing you need to know about the separation of the Red Sea is that according to Drew's theory, it does not appear in the actual "Red Sea" that we see today on the map - long, thin, northeast Close - East of Saudi Arabia and the south area between the west of Egypt and Sudan. Instead, Drews explained that the original Hebrew text was translated as "the sea of ​​reeds" - many historical and archaeological studies identified the exact location and content. However, Drews believes that it is originally the eastern part of the modern Red Sea, just north of the Nile Delta in the South Mediterranean.

I have been in Saudi Arabia since 2011 and went to the Red Sea for the past 6 years. This is a good thing, all the miracles of the Red Sea coast are worthy of pride. Until recently, I realized that there are more things in Saudi Arabia than sand dunes and harbors - in the Middle East there are two general sights. I was shocked recently when I traveled to Abu southwestern capital for another trip to Saudi Arabia's capital. Behind the dry mountains there is a hidden green leaf and never notice that there are inanimate rocks.

Located on the Red Sea coast, Jeddah is the largest city in Mecca, the second largest city after the Red Sea's largest port and Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh. The population exceeds 5 million people. The city is the center of trade and is regarded as the commercial center of Saudi Arabia. It is an important export base for petrochemical products and is home to many large companies and banks. It has a strong manufacturing base, especially in food processing and consumer products. Jeddah gathered about 11 million visitors each year and gathered many pilgrims. Most visitors arrive during the Mecca Pilgrimage, but small pilgrims and pilgrims provide a steady flow of visitors.
