Attempt to Follow the Exodus Route

Dear Sir



There is a new book out THE QUEST FOR THE LOCATION OF THE RED SEA CROSSING, (Nov. 2009, Amazon.com, ISBN-13: 978-1597552455) it has a new route for the Exodus and a new crossing place of the Red Sea. It is based on the belief that Josephus was right and Israel left from the west side of the Nile. All the places names have been found; (1) Succoth = Sokar (Saqqara) (2) Etham = Atium. (3) Migdol = Great Pyramid. (4) Ball-zephon = Sphinx. (5) Pi-hahiroth = Pē hah·khē·roth (pronunciation of Strong’s) Kheraha, Pi-Khiroti, Al-Qāhira. (6) The Sea = Flooded Delta from the seventh plague.

Dear Garry



Thanks for your information.

However, for one - as we have argued in articles and posts – the Bible does not say that the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, but yam suf, “Sea of Reeds”, which is not appropriate in the case of the Red Sea.
The Israelites are clearly the MBI (Middle Bronze I) people, this being – as we maintain – the very starting point for any biblically-based archaeology.
The best accounts of the MBI are to be found in the writings of Dr. Rudolph Cohen and Professor Emmanuel Anati, who, we believe, has provided the most expert and compelling route for the Exodus.

Best regards,
Damien Mackey.

Garry now has this You Tube video out on the sea crossing of the Exodus.

Both the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid are in the Bible.
