Exactly what kind of evil comes forth from believing that an Egyptian chariot wheel may be in the Gulf of Aqaba?

None, although nearly all of the artifacts on the ocean floor are the result of shipwrecks.

I find discussion of the Exodus fascinating, mainly because I don't know what to make of it.

Biblical scholars and Egyptologists have searched in vain for any evidence that the Exodus occurred or that Jews were even in Egypt at that time. There is nothing which even begins to confirm the biblical story in any Egyptian writing, artifact, or anything else.

That is not proof that the Exodus is the equivalent of an urban legend, but it does make you wonder.

That was the first thing that came into my head. If he found a man made artifact in the sea it probably was either washed or thrown off a ship or it went down with one.

I think it's possible(and perhaps more likely) that a small community of Hebrews lived in Egypt and eventually became oppressed and left/kicked out. However, there certainly wasn't 2 million of them(for an army of 600,000 this is what they'd need in total population.) That's disprovable right there, no army in that era was that big, not even those of the huge empires, let alone a group of slaves.

ANyways, as myths tend to do, the story of Exodus arose from a much simpler and less fantastic reality. But as for the entire nation of Hebrews being under the thumb of the Pharaoh, no, there's no evidence for it.
