The Daily Mail and Scientific American articles below connect the parting of the Red Sea and brine pools. However, the articles do not make it really clear why there is a nexus between the two. Brine pools are extremely rare and are formed in specific ways. One of the ways brine pools are formed is by evaporation. They typically form in areas where seawater has evaporated, leaving behind concentrated salt deposits. Think of how a tsunami causes rapid water displacement (receding water) away from the sea floor as it forms. Also, the height of a tsunami water wall can reach up to 100 feet. This is very peculiar as that is how the Bible describes the way God parted the Red Sea in Exodus 14:21-22 "Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left." Here is a video link to TED-Ed where it clearly shows how a tsunami caused problems for another army (Persian Army in 479 BC) trying to cross receding waters on "dry land". The Persian Army met the same demise as Pharaoh's army. https://youtu.be/Wx9vPv-T51I Daily Mail link: This article was listed because it references a new discovery of "brine pools" in the Gulf of Aqaba/Red Sea. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14417975/Scientists-make-shocking-discovery-Bible-Moses-parted-Red-Sea.html Scientific American link: Another article discussing extremely rare brine pools at the Red Sea. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/rare-red-sea-brine-pool-holds-secrets-of-past-natural-disasters/ Medium article link: A non-Christian source confirming the 2024 discovery of Pharaoh's army in the Gulf of Aqaba/Red Sea. https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/scientists-finally-found-evidence-for-mosess-red-sea-crossing-6ea440178d42 Eastwind Journals link: This Christian source was listed because of it referencing the same discoveries back in 2021. https://eastwindjournals.com/2021/07/29/archaeological-proof-of-red-sea-crossing/ American Revival Press link: This Christian article was listed because of it referencing these discoveries and Ron Wyatt in 2023 (with photos). https://www.americanrevivalpress.org/post/the-actual-red-sea-crossing-site-found ----- Full 'Medium' article: Scientists Finally Found Evidence For Moses's Red Sea Crossing Ancient chariot wheels were discovered underneath the crossing. The Mystery Seeker 7 min read Aug 14, 2024 The Red Sea crossing, one of the Bible's most dramatic events, has long been a subject of reverence and skepticism. For centuries, this miraculous tale of divine intervention and deliverance has captivated believers, while raising questions among historians and scientists. The path of the Red Sea crossing, about 12 miles (19.3 km). | Recently, however, new discoveries have emerged that may provide the first solid evidence supporting this ancient story. As scientists uncover intriguing clues beneath the waters of the Gulf of Aqaba, the line between myth and history begins to blur. The Biblical Account The biblical account of the Red Sea crossing is a cornerstone of the Exodus story, found in the Book of Exodus in the Old Testament. This narrative details the escape of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery under the leadership of Moses. After enduring harsh treatment and plagues sent by God, Pharaoh finally allows the Israelites to leave Egypt. However, he soon changes his mind and sends his army to pursue them. The Israelites, trapped between the advancing Egyptian forces and the Red Sea, face what seems to be an impossible situation. In this moment of desperation, Moses stretches out his hand over the sea, and God parts the waters, creating a dry path for the Israelites to cross. The entire nation of Israel, according to the Bible, safely traverses the sea, with walls of water standing on either side. As Pharaoh's army follows, the waters return, drowning the Egyptian soldiers and securing the Israelites' freedom. This event is celebrated in Jewish tradition as a defining moment of divine intervention and liberation. The significance of the Red Sea crossing extends beyond its dramatic narrative. For the Israelites, it marks the moment when they fully transitioned from slavery to freedom, becoming a nation under God's protection. This event is also seen as a demonstration of God's power and faithfulness, reinforcing the covenant between God and the people of Israel. Throughout history, this story has been a symbol of hope and deliverance, inspiring countless generations. However, the miraculous nature of the Red Sea crossing...
