Neweiba Beach, Egypt, now a resort area along the coast of the Sea of Aqaba (Red Sea)
When Wyatt drove to Neweiba Beach, he had to go through a long winding canyon called the Wadi Watir.
He recalled how that Pharaoh had said -- "They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut them in." (Exodus 14:3)
Once Moses and the Hebrews entered into the canyon there was no escape. Soon the million or so escaping slaves were crowded onto a sandy beach. Before them lay the Red Sea. Behind them came one of the most powerful armies in the world. They were trapped between the mountains and the Red Sea.
Pharaoh's army pursued thinking that an easy massacre was just hours away. They were right! But Pharaoh and his commanders had no way of knowing that they would be the ones destroyed by walls of water that loomed up nearly 900 feet on either side of them.
When Mr. Wyatt arrived at Neweiba Beach he soon found evidence that this was, in fact, the very spot where Moses and his followers crossed the Red Sea. A huge stone column was found lying in the water and the inscription had long been washed away. But an identical column found across the Red Sea had Hebrew writing giving glory to the God of Israel who delivered His people through the Red Sea. It is believe that King Solomon erected those columns as a permanent memorial of the Exodus!
Mr. Wyatt reasoned that if this were truly the site of the Red Sea Exodus, there could be evidence in the waters. What he was about to find was truly remarkable!
The story began in 1978 when a man by the name of Ron Wyatt chartered a small air-plane and was flying over the Sea of Aqaba south of Israel.
Wyatt was a part-time Bible explorer who was in the area on some archeological research at the sites of Sodom and Gomorrah along side of the Dead Sea.
As he flew over Neweiba Beach he commented to the pilot -- "That looks like the area the Bible describes where Moses was trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh's army. I need to go down there and take a closer look."

Chariot Wheels have been discovered in the Red Sea confirming the incredible story of Moses leading the Hebrews out of the slavery of Egypt. Ron Wyatt found two stone columns apparently erected by King Solomon giving glory to the God of Israel for safely delivering His people out of the slavery of Etypt.
