THE EXODUS EXPLORED—Israelites in Egypt
Any investigation of the Exodus must begin in the Nile River Delta where, according to the Bible, Joseph and his family once immigrated to the land of Goshen during a famine in the 18th century BC. But is there archeological evidence that a large Israelite population once inhabited northern Egypt?
THE EXODUS EXPLORED—The Promised Land
More confirmation of an Israelite exodus from Egypt is found in evidence that Israel invaded, conquered and settled in Canaan--the “promised land”-- between the 14th and 12th centuries BC.
THE EXODUS EXPLORED—Where is Mt. Sinai?
The Old Testament records God’s command to Moses to lead the Israelites directly to Mt. Sinai after leaving Egypt. But where exactly was the “mountain of God”? At least 15 different sites have been proposed in the Sinai Peninsula. Are any of them the real Mt. Sinai?
THE EXODUS EXPLORED—Moses in Midian
A vital clue to the actual location of Mt. Sinai is the land of Midian. It was there Moses fled and hid from Pharaoh after killing an Egyptian soldier. In Midian, God first spoke to Moses through a burning bush at the base of his holy mountain.
THE EXODUS EXPLORED—The Mountain of God
The search for Mt. Sinai moves from the Sinai Peninsula to northwestern Arabia, where remarkable clues lead to the highest mountain in what was once the ancient land of Midian. It is called Jabal al Lawz. Could this mountain be the place where God first spoke to Moses?
THE EXODUS EXPLORED—The Red Sea
The route of Israel’s exodus from Egypt is also defined by the beach where Moses parted the Red Sea. Five different locations for this event have been theorized in northern Egypt. None of them matches the Biblical description.
THE EXODUS EXPLORED—Nuweiba Beach
Scientist Lennart Moller leads a team of researchers and filmmakers to the Gulf of Aquaba in search of evidence for Israel’s Red Sea crossing. At a peninsula called Nuweiba Beach they discover stunning parallels to the Biblical record.
THE EXODUS EXPLORED—A Road in the Wilderness
When the Israelites left Egypt they traveled across the Sinai Peninsula on a trade route that extended from the Nile Delta to Midian. Then, as they neared the top of the Gulf of Aqaba, God dramatically changed their direction and led them to Nuweiba Beach--the shore of the Red Sea.
THE EXODUS EXPLORED—Red Sea Crossing
Trapped on the beach between towering mountains and the Red Sea, Moses and the Israelites see God do the impossible—part the waters of an ocean. The setting for this incredible event is documented and explored.
THE EXODUS EXPLORED—Chariots and Coral
If Pharaoh’s army was destroyed in the Red Sea, evidence of their chariots and weapons may still exist off the coast of Nuweiba Beach. A team of divers and a robotic camera search for ancient artifacts that would further confirm the Biblical account of the Exodus.
