To set the record straight, the Israelites did not cross the Red Sea but the Reed Sea, a marsh-like piece of land in which some portion became passable when the water recedes.

∙ 14y agoThe Bible says that the sea, apparently the Red Sea, really did get parted. Because of the extreme improbablility of this event, some conservative Christians have sought to find explanations. Some say that it was the Reed Sea, a very shallow waterway in the Nile Delta, although please note that the similarity of names is a coincidence of the modern English language. Some have claimed to find underwater geological formations that would have made it possible, or at least proved it could have happened.
The real answer can be inferred by the scholarly view that the Exodus never really happened. The respected Israeli archeologist, Israel Finkelstein, says that over 90 per cent of scholars believe that there was no biblical Exodus from Egypt. Without an Exodus, there was no parting of the Red Sea.
