Scientific Proof of Red Sea Parting

The person in charge of the study, however, does not say whether their research would help date the Exodus itself, noting only that “continued work to improve chronological frameworks is essential for the study of past civilisations”.

Researchers at the University of Arizona studying the relics of one of the largest volcanic events in the earth’s history may have stumbled upon a discovery that could provide a scientific explanation for certain phenomena described in the Bible.

Study leader Dr Charlotte Pearson, however, appeared reluctant to say outright whether her findings would actually help date the Exodus, noting only that “continued work to improve chronological frameworks is essential for the study of past civilisations”.

“No definitive calibrated radiocarbon range for the Thera eruption is currently possible, but the altered position of the 14C plateau indicates that improved calibration has much to offer chronological synchronisation of human and environmental timelines in this period,” she said as quoted by The Times of Israel.
