Archaeologists Discover Remains Of Egyptian Army From The Biblical Exodus by Dopeyomi(m): 10:15am On Nov 04, 2014
Suez| Egypt’s Antiquities Ministry announced this
morning that a team of underwater archaeologists
had discovered that remains of a large Egyptian
army from the 14th century BC, at the bottom of
the Gulf of Suez, 1.5 kilometers offshore from the
modern city of Ras Gharib. The team was searching
for the remains of ancient ships and artefacts
related to Stone Age and Bronze Age trade in the
Red Sea area, when they stumbled upon a gigantic
mass of human bones darkened by age.
The scientists lead by Professor Abdel Muhammad
Gader and associated with Cairo University’s
Faculty of Archaeology, have already recovered a
total of more than 400 different skeletons, as well
as hundreds of weapons and pieces of armor, also
the remains of TWO war chariots, scattered over
an area of approximately 200 square meters. They
estimate that more than 5000 other bodies could
be dispersed over a wider area, suggesting that an
army of large size who have perished on the site.


This magnificient blade from an egyptian khopesh,
was certainly the weapon of an important
character. It was discovered near the remains of a
richly decorated war chariot, suggesting it could
have belonged to a prince or nobleman.
Many clues on the site have brought Professor
Gader and his team to conclude that the bodies
could be linked to the famous episode of the
Exodus. First of all, the ancient soldiers seem to
have died on dry ground, since no traces of boats
or ships have been found in the area. The positions
of the bodies and the fact that they were stuck in a
vast quantity of clay and rock, implie that they
could have died in a mudslide or a tidal wave.


The shear number of bodies suggests that a large
ancient army perished on the site and the dramatic
way by which they were killed, both seem to
corroborate the biblical version of the Red Sea
Crossing, when the army of the Egyptian Pharaoh
was destroyed by the returning waters that Moses
had parted. This new find certainly proves that
there was indeed an Egyptian army of large size
that was destroyed by the waters of the Red Sea
during the reign of King Akhenaten.
For centuries, the famous biblical account of the
“Red Sea Crossing” was dismissed by most
scholars and historians as more symbolic than
historical.


This astounding discovery brings undeniable
scientific proof that ONE the most famous episodes
of the Old Testament was indeed, based on an
historical event. It brings a brand new perspective
on a story that many historians have been
considering for years as a work of fiction, and
suggesting that other themes like the “Plagues of
Egypt” could indeed have an historical base.
A lot more research and many more recovery
operations are to be expected on the site over the
NEXT few years, as Professor Gader and his team
have already announced their desire to retrieve the
rest of the bodies and artefacts from was has
turned out to be one of the richest archaeological
underwater sites ever discovered.

HOAX

This fabricated article comes from fictional satire website World News Daily Report. The fictive feature claims that archaeologists in Egypt had discovered the remnants of hundreds of ancient Egyptian bodies at the bottom of the Gulf of Suez. Along with the remains, the imaginary write-up recounts the discovery of relics such as weapons, armor, and even a couple of chariots. It goes on to state that deaths appeared to have happened on dry land and were the result of a massive landslide or a giant sea wave.

The fake article seems to be implying that this discovery is proof of the narrative of the Biblical Exodus (Exodus 14:1-31) in which an Egyptian army is wiped out while chasing the “Children of Israel” through a tunnel which God opens up in the Red Sea.
