Thanks t8,
Good stuff…it encourages my faith. I got a power point presentation in my email today regarding proof of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea. I don't know how to get it on here. It showed a land bridge in the Red Sea where Moses led the Israelites across and a scuba diver found chariot wheels and horse bones there. They also discovered a column that Solomon had placed there as a memorial. Maybe I can find it online somewhere.God bless,
LUI found it…enjoy!

Known extra-Biblical references to Moses date from many centuries after his supposed lifetime, and contain significant departures from the Biblical account. In addition to the Judeo-Roman or Judeo-Hellenic historians Artapanus, Eupolemus, Josephus, and Philo, a few gentile historians including Polyhistor, Manetho, Apion, Chaeremon of Alexandria, Tacitus and Porphyry make reference to him. The extent to which any of these accounts rely on earlier sources is unknown. Moses also appears in other religious texts such as the Midrash, Mishnah and Qur'an
No other surviving written records from Egypt, Assyria, etc., indisputably referring to the stories of the Bible or its main characters before ca. 850s BC have been found,[92][93] and there is no known physical evidence (such as pottery shards or stone tablets) to corroborate Moses' existence.
This is the same Moses that supposedly wrote an account of his own death, right?

Wikipedia also says “According to tradition, Exodus and the other four books of the Torah were written by Moses.”
Tradition Stu. You might have been a bit tired and missed that bit. I recommend good sleep or a strong coffee. I try to aim for both.
I personally encourage people to generally shun traditions of men and wild fables that try to explain God away.
Moses may have written the book and he may not have. He may have dictated it, he may have done a bit of both. He obviously didn't write about his death. That is a no brainer.
If Aaron served as Moses' spokesman, then it is quite possible that Moses didn't do the writing either.
When you see the word “tradition” Stu, it sort of changes everything because it is not meant to be taken as an absolute fact or even a foundation of faith.
Traditions are often silly and can also be destructive.
There is a category here on Heaven Net called Truth or Tradition. Can you see how they are kind of opposites?
Well Stu, to say that there wasn't an Exodus means that you are biased plain and simple because you have no proof. Same goes for a lot of other things you say.
Yes the Israelites were in Egypt and all over Arabia and Yemen. see my links “Exodus conspiracy” for the real location of Mt Sinai where Moses received the Ten Commandments. I have watched the videos several times and get chicken skin each time.
Archaeologists in Jerusalem Unveil Biblical-Era Seal From King Hezekiah
A dump site is the last place you would expect to find an 8th century B.C. seal for a papyrus document signed by one of the kings of Judah.
Perhaps that’s why it has taken 2,700 years for the piece of clay inscribed with King Hezekiah’s seal to be discovered in Jerusalem.
It is believed to be the first-ever seal — also referred to as a “bulla” — from an Israeli or Judean King to be discovered by archaeologists.
“The seal of the king was so important. It could have been a matter of life or death, so it’s hard to believe that anyone else had the permission to use the seal,” Eilat Mazar, who directs excavations at the City of David’s summit, told CNN.
“Therefore, it’s very reasonable to assume we are talking about an impression made by the King himself, using his own ring.
“This the greatest single item I have ever found,” added Mazar — a third generation archaeologist.
The oval bulla — which is 0.5 inches wide — was discovered by a team from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Led by Mazar, the team were excavating an ancient dump in the Silwan neighborhood beside the wall that surrounds Jerusalem’s Old City.
The site itself, along with the nearby city of David, is contentious, because it is an Israeli archaeological dig in a Palestinian neighborhood in East Jerusalem. Critics say the dig is politically motivated to extend Jewish claims over East Jerusalem and the Old City: archaeological finds become historical justifications.
The seal is believed to have been discarded from a royal building, with the rubbish.
The impression on the clay bears an inscription in ancient Hebrew script that translates as: “Belonging to Hezekiah [son of] Ahaz king of Judah.”
It features a two-winged sun, with wings turned downward, flanked by two ankh symbols symbolizing life.
Other bullas bearing the name of King Hezekiah have been seen on the antiquities market. However, the others are not as important because they were not found by archaeologists and therefore may not be genuine, according to Mazar.
What we know about King Hezekiah
“The bible describes King Hezekiah as one of the most important kings after King David,” said Mazar.
“He was rich, daring, stood up against Assyrians. A very impressive king,” she added.
King Hezekiah — who reigned from about 727 to 698 B.C. — is certainly portrayed favorably in the Bible. The Book of Kings II 18:5 says of Hezekiah: “… after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.”
It has been claimed that Hezekiah dedicated his reign to the reversal of the “idolatry” of his father. However, Hezekiah’s newly discovered private seal, which bears the name of his father, suggests that Hezekiah valued this link.

I did so here. But I thought it also deserved to get a mention in this topic too.
