Any time relevant artifacts recovered from the bottom of the Red Sea, yet?

During my studies it was posed that it was the Sea of Reeds, not the red sea. the hebrews being in eqypt can be confirmed, the hebrews making it to canaan can be confirmed, and the now israelites being conquered again can be confirmed. a chase through a trench in the red sea can not be confirmed.

Well, it is there. And the Star of David has much older symbolic significance than just a sign for Judaism.

I just reported news, will have to examine the issue once I can locate a dollar bill.


But sometimes people seem too rough to Ben Casron, mideastern things can be confusing for foreign experts. It is quite possible that Ben Carson is not as stupid as he appears.

He didn't save it up.

He seized 20% of all the grain for seven years.

Then he traded it back to the people who had grown in it the first place at rates so extortionate that they had to sell themselves into slavery to avoid starvation just 3 years into the famine.

And he did it with all the power of the state.

You're exactly right. Joseph taxed the people and then sold them back their own grain. That said, if he hadn't done that, would any of them have followed the process on their own or would they have starved to death? And yeah....sounds statist like social security only a bit more honest. Of course a free market approach would be for Joseph to contract with the farmers and say "Hey, let me have some of your grain and I'll store it for you for a fee and give it back to you over time when there is a famine." Some would have believed him....some wouldn't have.

Same artifact recovery/salvage question. Any chariot parts, skeletons, metallic Egyptian weapons, etc.?
