There would, of course, be no way of imperically proving that there was a more tapered off delta at some time in the past.
Ok, then why should we accept that there was? Because it fits your story so nicely?
Nor can it be assumed that it was not.
Burden of proof, Buz. You say it was there, it's up to you to show evidence for that.
I asked a question. Why the sudden drop off of the delta?
Why not?
Isn't that unusual for deltas?
I don't know, you show me. Better yet, show there was a delta in the first place.
We know that the rock above and below the delta does not extend out into the sea. This may be indicative that a deep delta was at some period created by wash out when the wadi canyon was formed.
Why? And more importantly, is it indicative of that? And still, how do you propse 700 meters of rock were "washed out", and yet there still are "wheels" in the area? Any force massive enough to completely remove rock would surely remove the "wheels" as well.
Given that the corroborating evidence cited has not been imperically refuted, it cannot be assumed that there was, for sure, never ever a delta extending further out into the sea.
Which is irrelevant. You say that there was, now show it to be the case.

People have been goading me about evidence along the trail of the multitude of Israelites in the wilderness.
It just came to mind that very likely, they were careful to tidy up before moving on, leaving no lasting trail for anyone might wanting to pursue them during the two years of movement.
Buz, do you have any idea how long it would take to make sure you leave no evidence when you are with a group of 5-6 million people? Seriously, it would be better to just leave the shit lying around then to spend days/weeks making sure not a single thing is left behind.

I don't see why all of the tado over the images. I don't dig that anything has been altered just because the little man was carved out. A different person may have came in from the camp and added the man. Who knows?
Why should we assume he was? Because it fits your story so nicely? If you want to claim he was added later, then you will have to provide evidence for it. He could also be part of the original picture. Also, it's not just about the little man, it's about all the other images as well. In fact, Wyatt puts great importance on the little man, saying that he is evidence they worshipped a golden calf there, your assertion that the man was added later harms his case. Thank you.
This is a big fuss about little of consequence. My point was only that animals were in the camp and there was a golden calf worshiped.
And you have provided no evidence for either assertion. I'll grant you that they had animals with them, this doesn't sound so implausible, but these images are not evidence that they worshipped any golden calf. Also, the fact that they had animals with them would also leave lots of evidence along their trail. Evidence that just isn't there.
So far as I'm aware, the scripture doesn't give any details about just how the worship was done.
So? It at least speaks about an altar.
If any alter was involved Moses would have destroyed it. The images plus the fact that the mountain is guarded says something about there being some significant activity there at some point in time.
Perhaps it is guarded to protect the images, if it is even guarded at all. The again something significant doesn't mean anything at all, now does it? It could be a place where cow herders worshipped their gods, and the images are some sort of prayer to receive plenty of cows. You don't know what the significance was, even if it was significant at all.
Imo, you're not helping your weak arguments at all nor are you diminishing my points.
You have no points. All you have are assertions
I've said about all I have that will satisfy Admin or any of you people.
Well, it won't satisfy us, because it is not evidence.
You all had your minds set at the OP message. You all will go on from here and repeat your lies to the www unceasingly that Buzsaw has never ever cited one iota of evidence for the Biblical Exodus.
It's not a lie. We showed you how your "evidence" was worthless. You just kept repeating it anyway. All you ever did was assert.
