Those with faith already know and believe this fact. For the doubters, this is a good 30 minute documentary. I had previously seen a longer documentary on this discovery but can't find it right now.
Bottom line...the Egyptians got demolished by the Red Sea. Worth the watch.

I haven’t watched it yet but hopefully they cover the rock that Moses struck and the erosion caused by water coming out of it. It’s very unique in that area.
"...an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying,
'Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt,
And stay there until I bring you word...'
...and was there until the death of Herod."
- Matthew 2:13-15
Based on the info we have, scholars believe He was in Egypt for 2-4 years as a young child. Very little is known of His childhood years though.
What was He up to? Doing whatever a perfect Child would do, I guess.
Steps where Jesus walked and healed a blind man unearthed for first time in 2,000 years.
A recent excavation in Jerusalem has unearthed steps unseen in over 2,000 years at a place where the New Testament records Jesus as having healed a blind man.
The Israel Antiquities Authority, the Israel National Parks Authority and the City of David Foundation early this year announced that the Pool of Siloam, a biblical site cherished by Christians and Jews, will be open to the public for the first time in 2,000 years in the near future.
In recent weeks, archeologists achieved significant progress in the excavation, unearthing some eight steps descending into the Pool which had not been seen in 2,000 years — around the time when Jesus walked the earth.
The ongoing excavations within the City of David — the historic site of Biblical Jerusalem — particularly of the Pool of Siloam and the Pilgrimage Road, serve as one of the greatest affirmations of that heritage and the millennia-old bond Jews and Christians have with Jerusalem," Ze’ev Orenstein, director of International Affairs - City of David Foundation, told Fox News Digital.
The pool was first built roughly 2,700 years ago as part of Jerusalem's water system in the eighth century B.C. Constructed during the reign of King Hezekia as cited in the Bible in the Book of Kings II, 20:20, according to the two Israeli agencies and the City of David Foundation.
According to estimates, the Pool of Siloam passed through many stages of construction and reached the size of 1.25 acres. According to a passage in the Gospel of John, Jesus restored the sight of a man born blind at the Pool of Siloam.
A small section of the pool, which has been fully excavated, has been accessible to the public for several years. The vast majority of the pool is being excavated and will either be opened piecemeal or once the entire site is unearthed.
The Tel Dan Inscription
The project surveyor for the Tel Dan archaeological site in Israel, Gila Cook, discovered ancient writing on one of the reused building stones in an old wall. The surface of the stone was polished on two sides, and the identified letters, BYTDWD, was clear and unmistakable.
The letters or inscription refers to the “The House of David” (the dark arrow pointing to the slightly whitened letters: BYTDWD).
This building stone can firmly be dated back to the 9th century BC due to an ash layer dated 733/722 BC caused by later Assyrian wars.
These ash layers are few and far between and remain every archaeologist’s dream, as anything sealed beneath them has to be dated earlier. As such, there is no chance of intrusion by later finds. While some historians have tried to explain the inscription away, most agree that it refers to the lineage of David, the second king of the unified kingdom and possibly the most important ruler in Israel’s history. The presence of the same letters, BYTDWD, on the Mesha Stele/Moabite Rock, also dated from the 9th century, solidifies the existence and, indeed, the lineage of King David.
@Lord Maye an archaeologist lady on here said something I liked that pertains to the Thomas question you asked earlier. She said, finds like this prove the truth of the Bible.......not that we NEED it because we have the Spirit.
There are several contemporary historical accounts (from non Christian or Jewish) sources including the famous Roman historian Joesphus. There is more historical evidence for Jesus than any other historical figure of the time period.
Even atheist historians would never deny the existence of Jesus.
On this topic, people will have no issue believing ancient history of the Romans, Greeks, Pharoah's etc. But will dismiss the Bible, even though Jesus is the most written about person in history. New testament is literally written by people who were there with him, it's 100% history. 1000's of witnesses to his works and wonders, and his teachings. It's historical fact.
