Also, didn't the Israelites spend most of the purported 40 years in one spot? Kadesh Barnea? Thirty-eight years spent headquartered in one area would leave a lot of evidence like fire pits and garbage dumps.
Wasn't the majority of the 40 years of wandering spent in one place? Thirty-eight years spent in one spot, by supposedly millions of people, would leave huge middens all clustered around the area.
...Relatively few would have died in the wilderness.
Buz, they almost ALL died in the wilderness. Their health when they died is irrelevant, the fact is they were all DEAD when they died. Millions of dead leave evidence in the desert.
I want to know how Buz can claim underwater debris (chariot wheels) at Nuweiba and at the same time claim a tsunami deepened the channel. Wouldn't this supposed tsunami have also taken any chariot parts with it?
