The sea was not parted by Moses. It was God who did it (Exodus 14:21), after Moses obeyed God's command and waved his arm over the sea (ibid). To address your question, the point is not whether it could have occurred "naturally." Rather, the point is that the event happened exactly when God predicted and Moses indicated (Exodus ch.14), just as with the Plagues. Some of the Ten Plagues could have been seen by some as "natural" events on a large scale, but the point is that they were prophetically announced immediately beforehand. For the Israelites, that was enough to understand God's involvement.

Of course one still has the choice of denying it all, just as Pharaoh and some of his advisers did. In that case, the strongest national tradition, and/or other proofs, will achieve nothing.

Is there any evidence that the Celts were a witness to Moses parting the Red Sea?

First of all, there is no evidence that Moses ever parted the Red Sea, or even that there was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. In fact, there is near-unanimity among scholars that this did not really happen. If indeed the Red Sea was parted somewhere around 1440 BCE, then the Celts were then located far away in eastern Europe and would have been blissfully unaware of this momentous event.


What did Moses do with the Red Sea?

Moses parts the Red Sea. The army chased the Hebrews to the banks of the Red Sea. They would have been trapped but a miracle happened. God told Moses to lift up his rod and as he did so the waters parted to make a dry path. They were able to make their escape.•When all the Hebrew's were safely at the other shore, Moses lifted up his rod again and the waters of the sea closed on Pharaoh's army who had been chasing them. God had saved the Hebrews.Hope that helps.


How could Moses son on slaves have access to the pharaoh?

First of all, Moses was not the son of slaves. According to tradition, the scholarly Tribe of Levi (Moses' tribe) was never enslaved.Second, Moses presented himself as a leader of the Israelites, so Pharaoh could have taken that into consideration. Third, Moses had been raised in Pharaoh's palace (Exodus ch.2). Fourth, we today do not know all of the circumstances. There have been kings who had set times to briefly meet with those coming to petition them, from whatever walk of life.


Was Moses a Persian?

Until almost the middle of the first millennium BCE, the Persians were wild mountain tribesmen who had little contact with the outside world, lived far from Egypt and would have been ill-suited to Egyptian life. Whoever Moses was, he could not have been a Persian. The name 'Moses' seems to be of Egyptian origin, but that does not mean either that he was Egyptian or that he ever lived in Egypt. It could equally mean that the story of Moses had some origins in earlier Egyptian legends.
