For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I remember that programme Kreepykoo. It explained the plagues sent upon the Egyptians. I'm not sure if it was the same series, but one programme also explained the parting of the Red Sea as being due to high winds. I remember wondering how the Israelites managed to walk across the seabed in such a gale.
It seems that the more time passes the more science explains religion, does this mean that in the far future religion will become obselete? It doesn't look that way as religion seems to be growing especially islam, so might this happen the other way around with religion engulfing science like it did in the early days when it was first formed?
noami, the high wind is mentioned in the bible so your programme was hardly original then.
possibly the same programme you mention kreepykoo, but my recollection was that they established the crossing was not at the red sea but some other lake full of reeds that clogged the cartwheels of the egyptians.
so neither moses or god parted the red sea, the tribe legged it over some lakey marshland to escape, although to be fair the parting of the red sea is perhaps more dramatic for a good yarn.

Not 'my' programme Ankou. Just the programme that Kreepykoo mentioned that I happen to remember - and if I recall the crossing was believed to have taken place somewhere in the Gulf of Suez - the narrow bit at the northern end of the Red Sea.
I'm doubtful about the legging it over lakey marshland explanation simply because I have to wonder why the Egyptians who were in hot pursuit didn't also leg it over the lakey marshland.
Dzug, I've head the Reed Sea explanation too, but again I wonder why if it was so easy, the Egyptians were obliged to give up the chase.
