Asgara writes: Wasn't the majority of the 40 years of wandering spent in one place? Thirty-eight years spent in one spot, by supposedly millions of people, would leave huge middens all clustered around the area. Yes. Thank you Asgara. I forgot that important fact. This was at Kadesh Barnea. There is some debate about the location of Kadesh, but most reliable sources like Josephus etc believe that Kadesh was Petra where there was good water and protection. This location has been occupied by other cultures which have obliterated any evidence of of the Israelites over the millenia.
2000 BC: Abraham at En-mishpat: En-mishpat means "Spring of Judgement" that was renamed Kadesh by the Hebrews during the Exodus. Genesis 14:7 says: "Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and conquered all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, who lived in Hazazon-tamar." 1438 - 1400 BC: Kadesh-Barnea Hebrews spent 38 years at Kadesh Barnea with Moses and Joshua. 350 BC - 106 AD: Nabateans at Petra The Nabateans enlarged and enhanced the tomb city of the Hebrews. Everything we see today in Petra was the work of the Nabateans. Like Pharaoh in Egypt, the Nabateans removed all traces of the Hebrews in the multi coloured sandstone. Petra is a second use of the Hebrew Kadesh Barnea. 106 AD: Roman Petra: Arabia. The Romans annexed Petra and renamed it Arabia. Petra became the capital city of Roman Arabia. 100 AD - 400AD: Petra Josephus, Eusebius and Jerome all stated that Kadesh was at Petra. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.

Jar, any one food as the source of staple for a lengthy period sustaining a multitude in the wilderness had to be the perfect food. Go figure.
Jehovah creator/designer of man's body likely designed the manna so as to provide all of the vitamins, minerals, etc needful to keep the folks healthy. Moses, for example did fine on it dying at 120 years. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW. The Immeasurable Present Eternally Extends the Infinite Past And Infinitely Consumes The Eternal Future.

Asgara writes: Buz, they almost ALL died in the wilderness. Their health when they died is irrelevant, the fact is they were all DEAD when they died. Millions of dead leave evidence in the desert. But most would have been buried at Kadish which became occupied by other cultures over the millenia. What trace of the Israelite dead would you expect to be identifiable today?

ringo writes: A chariot wheel here or there is NOT evidence of the Exodus. There you go, ringo. Where were you when the Exodus threads were debated? Corroborating evidence was cited on both sides of the crossing, including the large beach in a topography where escape would be impossible without the crossing of the sea, the unusual split rock, the blacked top mountain, the Biblical identification of Midian in Arabia as location of Mt Sinai, the bull inscriptions and large plain below the mountain suitable for the people etc. The wheels were not here and there, perse. They were at the most shallow area of the Sea and at a beach large enough for a large multitude at the precise area where the other corroborating evidence exists. It's all compatible with the Biblical record. The Biblial record and some other study research is what led Wyatt, the pioneer to that location. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.

ringo writes: The wheels are irrelevant. If they are real, they only prove that chariots were there. They indicate NOTHING about the Israelite people.There were chariots all over Egypt for centuries on end. Finding a chariot wheel in Egypt is like finding a hubcap beside the highway. What you need to show is evidence that the PEOPLE were there. Other chariot wheels having no corroborating evidence or relevance to the Exodus are strawmen, given my privious messages. How about posting something sensible, Ringo. You're really scraping the bottom here.

Dr Jones writes: What wheels Buz? Where are these alleged wheels? The ones at Nuweiba. The ones in the midst of the corroborating evidence, that secularist marine scientists are reticent to research and falsify, concerned that they will confirm them to be valid.

Coyote writes: Problem is, in 40 years of research I have found the opposite; my own research proves that the global flood did not occur about 4,350 years as described. So that makes me a dreaded "secularist," eh? Eh, this thread is not about the flood. It's about something a whole lot more falsifiable. It's of significant archeological data relevant to ancient history as things like the pyramids, etc. It has to do with researching ancient Egypt and the whole region which has become so prevalent on the world scene. Believe me, if it had nothing to do with supporting the Biblical record, Ballard and others would be on it like piranha fish on a chunk of steak. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.

bluescat writes: What are they going to confirm, that they are wheels? Even if they are chariot wheels, from the period in question, all it would prove is that a chariot was there not who was driving it or why? What is there to falsify? Bluescat, did you read the title of the message to which you responded. See that word corroborate? That means there's other evidence supportive to the Exodus relating the wheels in the sea.

Since Admin has requested that the debate focus on the evidence, I am reviewing the thread, page by page to revisit the messages pertaining to evidence. I am compiling some additional material pertaining to some of these evidence related messages.
Please bear with me as this will take some time before proceeding in the debate.

I plan to get to the wheels, but since an important factor is the corroborating evidence which is supportive to the wheel like forms being wheels and makes it all compatible with the Biblical account of the Exodus, I want to make some important additional points about some of the supportive evidences. In my busy life it may take some time before I'm ready to proceed.
The consensus among my counterparts in this debate incessantly insist that I have never produced any evidence whatsoever, including the claimed corroborative evidence. Therefore I find it necessary to attempt to put these charges to rest. Abe: LOL, given the mindset of the Exodus skeptics Edited by Buzsaw, : As noted. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.

PaulK, none of it has yet been empirically refuted. It's been debated, the secularist hoard, in chorus, vs the one citing the existing, ducks in a row, corroborated evidence. Give me some time and we'll revisit some of that evidence with particular pertinent points, corroborating the wheel & axel forms to be indeed chariot wheels of the Biblical Exodus.

Percy writes: But let's be fair. The chariot wheels Buz is talking about were "discovered" by Ron Wyatt, and they're widely believed to be figments of Wyatt's overactive imagination and efforts at self-promotion by making spectacular announcements. No one who requires actual evidence accepts Wyatt's claims. But Lennart Moller, Swedish marine biologist scientist deemed Wyatt's evidence credible enough to spend his time and resources with his marine exploratory marine vessel equipped with suitable cameras etc for researching the site. He is the one who featured the Exodus Video and wrote the Exodus Case book. Moller's purpose was not to self promote and make spectacular announcements. There was also a woman scientist named in the Video (forgot name) who did some research on the Saudi side of the crossing, also considering the discovery to be valid. I'll work on some more info relative to these points.
Percy writes: But if Egyptian chariot wheels were actually discovered in a plausible location for the Exodus, and if they were dated to the proper period, then it would be positive and intriguing evidence consistent with the Exodus story. If other similar evidence were also found, such as remains of encampments from plausible locations and dates, then one would have to begin to concede that the Exodus might plausibly have really happened. Some of the dates have been questioned and debated due to the tendency of Pharaohs to skew the dates and obliterate info which might damage their own reputation. It also behooved Egypt to conceal, as much as possible, the devastation of Egypt's defense military so as not to embolden enemy nations to attack. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.

Percy writes: The creationists are at somewhat of a disadvantage in that their evidence is either non-existent or made up, Non-existent or made up?
Not only do these ducks exist, but they're all lined up in the order that they need to be to support the Biblical record. There was mention of an Oasis in the wilderness which there is. There is also a column which may or may not be evidence. on the beach. The record mentions Moses erecting something of that nature. Now, Percy, whether or not you want to acknowledge that evidence, how can you alleged that creationist supportive evidence is either non-existent or made up? One problem with research in the region is that the Islamic Saudi Arabia has a vested interest in undermining the Biblical record. Researchers are forbidden access to the mountain and the region near it. I understand that areas are fenced off allowing no access. I believe it would not be legal to remove artifacts from the sea floor due to the Egyptians and Saudis but am not sure how that works or who has sovereignty over the sea borders. One problem with removing the wheel evidence would be keeping it intact for removal and analysis. Jar is questioning the waterflow evidence at the split rock. I will be addressing this objection.

In Message 36 Jar linked an example of a water brook showing assorted smooth rocks. Then he linked a view of the what is acclaimed to be waterflow evidence at the base of the Midian split rock.
Jar alleges that the rocks at the base of the Midian rock should resemble those in his link. Jar alleges that the Midian rock is not water flow evidence but eroded rock pieces which have fallen in place from the large formation. Take a good look at the Midian waterflow. Notice how even and smoothed the bed of the flow is going from inside the split nice and evenly spread all of the length of what is visible in the photo. This is indicative of a stream which smothened out this stream bed. Rock pieces falling from the large formation would have been piled up randomly where they fell. Jar claims that the rocks should resemble his example of a brook bed. This is nonsense, for the reason the brook rocks would have been washed from the soil in the bed where the water flowed and washed them. They would have been assorted colors and types of rockes. The water flow from the formation would have been fragments of the large formation that fell and gushed in place when Moses struck the rock and it was broken. The water would have smothened the bed along just as it appears. The rocks would have been of one color and type, having come from the once large single rock. How long that flow lasted is unknown. Likely it was not long enough to smothen out the fragments as Jar alleges they should be, similar to his example. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.
