More on the post about Mount Sinai and such.

Jason: What you are saying is true - Thank You!! I believe there have been artifacts found in the Red Sea where they crossed.

Yes, including, allegedly, the wheel of Pharoah's chariot. His was the only one that was metal (bronze?) with four spokes, you see. As for the rest of it: a whole lot of coral shaped like old rotted chariots, and nearby, a whole lot of coral shaped like their wheels. Everyone else had chariots made of wood, you see, and that has long since rotted away, leaving only the coral. And recall that the wheels fell off the chariots, according to the Bible.
It is what is on the mountain itself, however, that is the most telling. An unnaturally charred top. A split rock with water erosion coming from it. A large flat rock at the base of the mountain with egyptian-like cow drawings all over it (Moses made them eat (drink) the actual statue, if you recall.) 12 piles of rocks at the base. A wonderful view of the (split?) rock at Horeb, if I recall. Elijah's cave. A very large, flat area at the foot of the mountain, perfect for pitching a big camp. And more than that, which I don't recall at the moment. All of this on a mountain in the middle of nowhere, yet inexplicably guarded by Saudi Arabian military and with a fence going the whole way around the mountain. And I should mention, I actually saw two distinctly different documentaries on this from two distinctly different and unrelated sources who each performed a spy mission of sorts in the area on their own initiative. You can tell they are unrelated, too, because they disagree on a number of points. On the way to the mountain from the sea crossing, too, they found numerous landmarks mentioned in the Bible. You can't prove that the proof of God's existance isn't out there, you can only choose to ignore it.

Gold. I think Pharaoh's Chariot and it's spokes were overlaid with gold, and I abm quite sure that wheel they found still had gold on it. But it has been a while, so I don't remember for sure.
