This story was first published on December 29, 2014

Outline

Circulating ‘news’ report claims that archaeologists have discovered the remains of a large Egyptian army at the bottom of the Red Sea. The report suggests that the discovery could be evidence for the biblical story describing the parting of the Red Sea by Moses and the subsequent inundation of the Egyptian army when the parted waters returned.  




Brief Analysis

The claims in the report are untrue. No such discovery has been made. The false story comes from the fake-news ‘satirical’ website World News Daily Report. Nothing published on the site is true and its reports should not be taken seriously.
