Greetings brothers and sisters, Jehovah's continued blessings to all this day:

I am not sure if any of you have seen these photos of the remnants left behind when Pharaoh crossed the Red Sea. A brother sent this to me in an email, so I would like to share it with you all. I was not sure how to post the photos, so brother Manirus told me to go to photobucket and down load them there. I tried, but not sure if it works. I will post the link down at the bottom of the narrative, please give it a try and see if it works.

Christ's' love and peace to you all, brother Fred.

Great pictures!

Yes there is a movie about this I think?

They also found the mountain, but the Saudi's have it fenced off now. But the top was all black, and there were drawing on the rocks near by.

Digging
I would be very, very, very careful about basing any conclusions on Ron Wyatt's findings. I suggest you do your own research.
However, if you do find Mr. Wyatt authoritative I'm sure you will be enthralled by the extent of his discoveries which include but are by no means limited to the following:

Noah's Ark

"Anchor stones" used by Noah for the ark

The Post-Flood house and tombs of Noah and his wife

The location of Sodom and Gomorrah

Sulfur balls from the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah

The point of the Israelites' crossing of the Red Sea in Exodus

Debris from the pursuing army of Pharoah at the bottom of the sea

The site of the Biblical Mt. Sinai

A chamber at the end of a maze of tunnels under Jerusalem containing artifacts from Solomon's temple

The Ark of the Covenant

The stones on which God carved the Ten Commandments

The exact site of the crucifixion of Jesus

An earthquake crack under the crucifixion site made at the time of the death of Jesus

Blood of Jesus, which dripped down this crack onto the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant, located in a chamber directly beneath the cross

What a busy boy he was!
