"
A Russian scientist has announced that one of the Old Testament’s most monumental events — Moses’ parting of the Red Sea — was due to stormy weather and a shallow reef rather than divine intervention."

"Mr. Volzinger determined that if a strong wind blew at 30 meters per second over a shallow reef, then yes, it could have blown that reef dry. He also calculated it would have taken the fleeing Jews about four hours to make their crossing."


"Oceanographer Mr. Volzinger studied the conditions on a reef in the northern part of the Gulf of Suez, which some scholars believe is the site where Moses miraculously parted the Red Sea.
Some 3,500 years ago, the reef was much closer to the surface, Mr. Volzinger said.
He set about calculating how much wind speed would have been needed to blow the water from the formation at low tide, how long the area would stay dry and how quickly the seas would come crashing back.
“It would take the Jews — there were 600,000 of them — four hours to cross the 7-kilometer reef that runs from one coast to another. Then, in a half-hour, the waters would come back.”
But the scientist, who specializes in oceanic phenomena, admitted that his approach was “strictly from Isaac Newton’s point of view,” adding that he had yet to inform any religious organizations about his findings."

"Shuyi Chen, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle, said the weather phenomena is common during extreme storm conditions like Hurricane Sandy in 2012."
