Pesquisadores usaram modelagens computacionais para mostrar que um vento de 100 km/h poderia ter criado um canal seco no Mar Vermelho. A explicação científica sugere que Moisés pode ter cruzado um trecho raso da região, sem necessidade de intervenção divina.

Scientists Indicate That 100 Km/H Winds And Geological Factors May Have Created A Temporary Dry Path, Scientifically Explaining The Biblical Event. Models Show That The Crossing May Have Occurred In The Nile Delta, Where The Water Would Have Naturally Receded.

The Crossing of the Red Sea is one of the most iconic moments in the Bible and a fundamental pillar of Judeo-Christian religions. However, scientists believe they have found a natural explanation for the event, suggesting that Moses may not have needed divine intervention to accomplish it.

According to scientists, factors such as strong winds and specific geological conditions may have created a temporary dry path, allowing the passage of the Israelites and surprising the Egyptian troops. This new theory questions the need for a miracle but maintains the idea that the event was extraordinary.

The Biblical Account of The Crossing of The Red Sea

In the Bible, Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt and brings them to the shores of the Red Sea. Pursued by Pharaoh’s army, they find themselves cornered. Then, Moses stretches out his hand, and the sea parts, forming a dry corridor for the people to pass. When the Egyptian soldiers try to cross, the waters return, drowning them.

Where Moses May Have Crossed The Red Sea?

Studies indicate that the passage may have occurred in the Nile Delta, more specifically at Lake Tannis, where strong winds could have temporarily exposed dry land. Another possibility is the Gulf of Suez, a shallower area of the Red Sea that could have been crossed during low tides. — Scientists indicate that the passage may have occurred in the Nile Delta, more specifically at Lake Tannis, where strong winds could have temporarily exposed dry land.

Many believe that the crossing occurred in the Gulf of Aqaba, a deep and wide region of the Red Sea. However, scientists suggest that a more likely location would be the Gulf of Suez or even Lake Tannis, in the Nile Delta.

The Gulf of Suez has shallower waters, making the temporary opening of a dry path due to strong winds more plausible. Historical records indicate that Napoleon Bonaparte and his soldiers crossed this region on foot during low tide in 1789 – an event similar to what is described in the Bible.

The Role of The Winds And The Scientists’ “Wind Reduction” Theory

Scientists at the University of Colorado used computer simulations to test the possibility that strong winds could have separated the waters. The models suggest that a windstorm of 100 km/h blowing for eight hours could push the waters back and create a temporary passage up to 5 km wide.

When the winds ceased, the water would quickly return to its original level, which could explain the drowning of the Egyptian troops. This “wind reduction” theory is supported by historical records and similar natural phenomena observed in other parts of the world.

Other Possible Explanations for The Crossing

Some theories suggest that a tsunami could have caused the water to recede, creating a temporary pathway for the Israelites. However, this hypothesis does not fit perfectly with the biblical account, as a tsunami recedes and returns quickly, while the Bible describes a long period for the passage.

Another possibility is that Moses was well aware of the patterns of the tides and knew exactly when to cross. As the Egyptians were not used to sudden changes in tide, they may have been caught off guard when the waters began to rise again suddenly.
