Don’t really care at this point. Any such real ‘discovery’ will be tested over time.
What I defend is the biblical account.
I detest the portrayal by Cecil B. Demille’s film as if it was some sort of supernatural event. Not because it wasn’t accurate, but because it wasn’t supported by any presentation of geographical evidence.
Scripture does not describe the parting of the Red Sea as some sort of out-of-this-world sensational spectacle. It describes it as a miracle.
A combination of Scripture and evidence point to a Gulf of Agaba of several thousand feet of depth but transiently changed by sand tides caused by strong undercurrents. Those sand bars can erase a lot of depth of the Gulf, but whether such sand bars emerged at sea level, no one knows. But the changes are transient. The ‘average’ depth is deep, that much is known.
We know from Scripture that the Children of Israel were frightened and that Moses held his hands up to calm them down. The view of the approaching Egyptian Army gave no choice but to walk into the sea.
If the access point led a couple of miles to the other side, that would have been viewable. If sand tides had pushed a series of sand bars into view that was seen to connect to the other side, then it makes sense that the Children of Israel walked on the bars or shallow water braving the currents that could wash them away at any moment, and reach the other side.
By the time the Egyptian Army decided to pursue into the sea on the same sand bars, the currents overcame them causing them to stumble and horses to buck, and the army was overwhelmed in the timing.
I don’t see it as a grand sensational sea parting as depicted in Demille’s film. I see as a combination of timing and a rare event of shallow water caused by shifting sand drifts under the surface that may have breached the surface.
Was it a miracle? I say you can be assured that it was. That kind of timing and rare event at precisely that event in history is miraculous.
