Episode 163: Exodus - New Information, (20 of 26)

For more information and sources you could check out http://akinforthetruth.net.     As mentioned last discussion, when searching the Aqaba Gulf basin for any indications of the Exodus events recorded in the Bible, researchers knew exactly what they were searching for.   Now the sea floor off the Nuweiba shoreline has coral, scattered about, making undersea research complicated. As a living organism that tends to adhere to solid objects, not sand or silt, coral, as it grows, will often do so along the lines of the object that it adheres to, defining the original shape of the object. So thereby the coral could preserve the look of the object, long after the object itself has deteriorated and disappeared in the sea water.   In his undersea research in the area, and the video-tape documentation, Dr. Moller observed that the coral formations found off the Nuweiba Peninsula differed distinctly from that of corals elsewhere off the Gulf of Aqaba coast.   For example, since the sea bed was mostly sand or silt where he was looking, he noted that coral was formed as one would expect when at a site of scattered debris and wreckage.   Furthermore, very unique shapes, distinctly circular and attached to shaft-looking formations at right (90 degree) angles were seen at a number of spots on the sea floor. These formations contrast sharply with those found off the north and south coasts of Aqaba, which form dense reefs, often covering acres.   The formations off Nuweiba are generally much smaller, and are scattered randomly along the sea floor.
