This has been a mistranslation. Moses never crossed the RED SEA - he crossed the SEA OF REEDS.

The Israelites were being pursued by a vengeful Pharaoh's army, and were trapped with this sea in front of them. Moses prayed, and God caused the waters to part - allowing them to cross safely. The Egyptian army followed, but God caused the waters to close up again, causing the total destruction of the Egyptians and finally freeing the Israelites fromtheir slavery.

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.


Who was the first female to be called prophetess?

The first female to be called a prophetess in the Bible is Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron. She is referred to as a prophetess in Exodus 15:20, where she leads the Israelite women in song and dance after the crossing of the Red Sea. Miriam is recognized for her leadership and prophetic role during the Exodus.


Did Noah's flood happen before the crossing of the red sea?

Yes, according to the biblical timeline, Noah's flood occurred long before the crossing of the Red Sea. The flood is described in the Book of Genesis, while the crossing of the Red Sea is detailed in the Book of Exodus. The events of the Exodus, including the crossing, took place during the time of Moses, which is traditionally dated much later than the time of Noah.


What do historians look at to explain the parting of the Red Sea?

Historians look at the extensive archaeological evidence found in Egypt for the relevant period. For Egypt to have lost a very substantial number of slaves and then an entire army in pursuit of them, there must be a mention somewhere in the archives. Yet, although we have numerous letters, commercial contracts and royal records, and although we know much of the minutiae of life in Egypt, there is no direct or even indirect suggestion of the event, even if the numbers of Hebrew slaves was greatly exaggerated in the Bible. Now, over 90 per cent of scholars are reported as believing that there never really was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. And without an Exodus, there is no puzzle regarding the parting of the Red Sea - it simply did not happen.
