"THE EXODUS REVEALED" VIDEO

Buz -I have read the whole thread and watched your video trailers and done google searches. As far as I can see there is not sufficient credible evidence to make any conclusions that are not disputable. The pictures could be faked. The pictures could be of one chariot lost from on board a ship. The pictures could be of other wheels and axles altogether.Certainly there is not one (1) ONE article in a peer reviewed journal about these that I could find. There is no dating of the artifacts, there is no indisputable evidence of there being chariots.The fact that a documentary video is made when such evidence would be much more compelling if properly done in a scientific manner leads me to believe that it is just one more creatortionista hoax perpetuated on the gullible in accordance with the dictum of PT Barnum. Without corroborating evidence from another source I see no reason to give it more than superficial credence.One gold wheel lying on the bottom after, what, 3000 years? Untouched? Not buried in sand? Looks like a planted 'artifake' to me.Sorry.ps -- coral will grow on anything that is not poisonous, they do not feed on what they grow on, so the comment about wood early in the thread is bogus. If gold had been found to have such qualities then it would be used for a bottom paint (as copper and other metals have been with limited success) -- trust me, millionaires would coat their racing yachts with it if it worked. Do a google on {antifoulant heavy metal} and see if you can find gold listed.

But not operating in his field of expertise. An article based on the purely scientific artifacts, dating and distribution, would not be avoided. Such articles on other items of historical artifacts also covered in the bible have been. A proper scientific expedition going through channels to get cooperation from Saudis et al should have no difficulty. Again, mostly free of growths after 3000 years would be a wondrous achievement. The US Navy would be extremely interested as the annual cost of antifouling the fleet is astronomical and they are specifically excluded from governmental regulations on heavy metal use. I also wonder why it is not buried by the lighter, mobile sand that blankets the area. It should have sunk out of sight. I think you would agree that this picture could be faked by placing a wheel in the sand and putting a lump of coral over it.{{added by edit}}
one sources says "The wood inside the gold "veneer" was deteriorated, which made it very fragile and for that reason, he has not attempted to retrieve it from the water."another source says "... the gold wheel is still there, wedged so tightly in the bottom that it feels like it's been cemented in."So which is it? Fragile or firmly wedged?enjoy[This message has been edited by RAZD, 04-26-2004]

If it is anaerobic and acidic, a very long time. Oak wood buried in peat bogs by Vikings has lasted longer than 2000 years. This area would not qualify for those conditions.
