Oops. Sorry. I think I meant to ping blam. Sigh. Need rest.

Point being the Santorini explosion that ended what could have been the high civilization of Atlantis, referred to by Plato (referencing Solon's conversation with the Eqyptians)... would have created the pulling out of waters from the Gulf described in the Bible.

Nice to see they found some evidence. The idea that the chariots crossed the Red Sea proper wasn't something I'd ever have gone along with. The Gulf is shallow and at the Mediterranean end of the Red Sea.

"The Gulf is shallow and at the Mediterranean end of the Red Sea."

Think about this. During the Ice Age the Persian Gulf was completely dry and the Red Sea was land locked and at some point the 'dam' holding the Arabian sea out had to have broken. The earthquakes and tsunamis created by the eruption of Thera could have broken the 'dam' and reflooded the Red Sea?
