Ron Wyatt began investigating underwater off the coast of Neweiba Beach. One of the first things he found was a beautiful gold plated chariot wheel, very fragile but clearly visible in the clear waters of the Red Sea!
Later, Wyatt and his sons found numerous other man-made artifacts and chariot wheels. The shapes of the battle debris were still intact because coral had attached themselves to the wood, pre-serving evidence of the historical accuracy of the Biblical account of the Exodus and the destruction of Pharaoh's army, estimated to be as many as 250,000 soldiers and horse drawn chariots.
Four, six and eight spoked wheels were found in the Red Sea. These wheels were typical of the wheels used in the 18th Dynasty at the time of Moses and the Red Sea Exodus.
Wyatt recovered the hub of a wheel with the remains of eight spokes and gave this significant find to Nassif Mohammed Hassan, Director of Antiquities in Cairo. Mr. Hassan immediately identified the artifact as a chariot wheel dating over 3500 years ago during the 18th Dynasty, the only time the ancient Egyptians used an eight spoked wheel. The hub and spokes are on display in Cairo, Egypt.
Wyatt also discovered that there was an under-water causeway or land bridge stretching from the shores of Neweiba Beach, across the deep waters of the Red Sea to Saudi Arabia, the ancient land of Midian where Moses and his people gathered at Mount Sinai. The land bridge provided by the Lord for His people, slopes gently down to almost 900 feet before going back up to the other side! Imagine walls of water 900 feet high . . . little wonder that Pharaoh's army was totally destroyed!
Finding the crossing site was the key in locating the real Mount Sinai in the land of Midian.
Beautiful gold covered, four spoke chariot wheel.
Mr. Wyatt commented that the bottom of the Red Sea was littered like a junk yard.
Who would have ever thought that such significant evidence would be preserved for nearly 3,500 years!
An excellent book and DVD are available detailing recent scientific research that has verified Mr. Wyatt's discoveries.
Chariot Wheels have been discovered in the Red Sea confirming the incredible story of Moses leading the Hebrews out of the slavery of Egypt. Off the shore of Neweiba Beach, an underwater causeway or land bride stretches across the Red Sea.
