Moses, Exodus Route from Egypt, Red Sea Crossing, Mt. Sinai Location in Arabia, Ten Commandments
Wow! I found this video to be quite convincing that they have found the true location of the Exodus.

The coral in the shape of chariot wheels was cool.

I strongly suspect that Mount Sinai is in modern day Saudi Arabia. The Hebrews probably spent some time in the Sinai but Arabia is a far bigger area and easier to disappear in and also find some food. It was not as desertified back then.

Data that I'm aware of is that Saudi Arabia was much wetter and possibly cooler back in the time-frame of Moses. For instance, in the 'Empty Quarter', a place of extreme temperatures and dryness, located in Southern Arabia, one finds the remains of African-type antelopes and other African animals, indicative of an almost Savanna type vegetation regime.
This idea is also confirmed by δ18O and δ16O isotope ratios taken from stalagmites in a cave on an island off Yemen.

The previous information about the route of the Exodus was based upon the research done by Ron Wyatt. This is a person whom you should study. Although passed from this mortal life, Ron Wyatt was responsible for many remarkable discoveries, among which is the location of the Ark of the Covenant.

It does look cool, but unfortunately it doesn't make much sense. The wood would have been eaten away long ago and the coral wouldn't have had time to form on them like that. We would expect to see more wooden shipwrecks from the Egyptian period covered in coral, but we don't.
One possibility is that the Red Sea crossing took place during an extreme tsunami. The water draws back before a tsunami/tidal wave, before crashing back in.

True. The tidal wave is an interesting idea. That would have to be some wave, though, since they were crossing like 5.5 miles, right? It would have to recede at whatever depth it’s at that location for however long it took them to cross (2.5 hours on solid, dry ground?) … a lot of water and an even bigger wave.Niemand wrote: ↑June 12th, 2023, 2:02 amIt does look cool, but unfortunately it doesn't make much sense.

The Red Sea is shaped like a hand giving a V sign. Because it is so narrow in some places this would probably have some effect on how it played out.Dusty Wanderer wrote: ↑June 12th, 2023, 3:16 pmTrue. The tidal wave is an interesting idea.

(It is all part of the giant Rift Valley, which runs from parts of southern Africa, through their Great Lakes and up through the Dead Sea, Jordan Valley and up into Syria I think.)
