The issue is not some disagreements about dates, the issue is logistics.
An army of 600,000 men.
Plus 600,000 wife’s.
2.3 children per family.
Plus an unknown number of non combatants. The elderly, the injured, the shepherds and herdsmen.
I think we're looking at close to three million people here.
Canaan was about 150 miles away so if this column of people were marching eight abreast with just one metre between rows the column would be 200 miles long. The front of the column would be 50 miles into the promised land while those at the rear, eight days later due to transit time, were still throwing stones at the Egyptians.
The average depth of the Red Sea is ~700 metres with coral reefs and fuck knows what else to navigate on both sides, with wagons full of old grannies and woman having babies. How many goats, sheep, oxen, horses?
OK, they are now on the other side. A camp area for this many people would be ~750 square miles and they would require ~1,500 tons of food per day and a million fucking gallons of water.
It didn't happen, and I'm fucked if I know how an educated person can believe it did.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
