Zone1 Alternate theory to the Red Sea Exodus story.

[MarathonMike]

I was watching a documentary on the Pharoahs of Egypt which was quite interesting. A hieroglyphics expert was explaining that what was inscribed on the walls of the Hall of the Pharoah was in fact "Sea of Reeds" not "Red Sea". The alternate theory to the Biblical Story of Moses parting the Red Sea goes like this: The translation was incorrect and the subsequent story of the sea parting allowing the escape of the Israelites was not accurate. The "Sea of Reeds" may refer to marshy areas of Lake Timsah which would make sense if you are trying to escape from a chariot army. They would be worthless in the marshes.

So the bible was wrong? This event is also found in the Quoran so.something is amiss. It's impossible to know of course, but there are always people trying to debunk the bible. It's a career for some really.

You honestly think in their ancient languages(Egyptian/Hebrew) the words for “red” and “reed” are similar like in English?

In Hebrew it’s “adom” vs “kane”.

The Bible is an anthology (a compilation of texts of a variety of forms) originally written in Hebrew (with some parts in Aramaic) and Koine Greek.

I don't honestly think anything about the subject other than what the expert on the documentary translated directly from the hieroglyphics.

So the entire Egyptian army drowned in the marshes?



Try again.

So maybe if we dig down deep enough, we might actually find Red's skeleton buried at the bottom?

Damn. Great--- now we have to dig Chuck Heston back up to reshoot the scene all over again.

No, they choked on a reed.

I don't want my Bible on my bunk, frankly, it belongs up on the shelf.

Egyptian hieroglyphics aren’t holy scripture.

The Hebrew words Yom Suph do mean Sea of Reeds but there are some interesting finds on the bottom of the Red Sea.

Debunking suggests that the bunk was on top of the Bible.
