The Exodus route - Migdol was the fortress of Semna in the area of Lower Nubia, outside Egpyt

Watch the whole Youtube video “Exodus route 1 Locating the Red sea crossing, Pi Hahiroth, Migdol, Baal Zephon, Shur, Marah,  & Elim”.

 


Let me first identify Migdol which the Strong’s concordance translates as “tower” or a fortified city on the Egyptian border. Semna was a fortified area established in the reign of Senusret I. It was located on the west bank of the Nile at the southern end of a series of fortresses founded during the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt. It was in the area of Lower Nubia, or the northernmost part of Nubia. The 1966–1968 excavations at Semna determined that the fort was permanently occupied from the reign of Senusret I to the first few years of reign of Amenemhat III of the 12th Dynasty. This means that by the time of Amenemhat IV (whom I identified as the Pharaoh of the Exodus), the fort of Semna was already abandoned by the Egyptians and no longer considered part of Egypt. And this made it plausible for the Israelites to camp near it after “going out of Egypt''.

Gihon and Pison rivers & Havilah the land of GOLD, located!

In my previous video titled “ The Garden of Eden was in the Black Sea! Biblical and Geological proofs provided! ” dated August 24, 2019, I identified in detail the ancient Gihon river and its entire course. I showed in that video that the head or source of the Gihon started from the Bosporus submarine canyon located southwest of the Black Sea.  Now an early and obvious theory of submarine canyon formation was that some of them present today, were carved during glacial times when sea level was about 125 meters below present sea level, and that rivers flowed to the edge of the continental shelf. From the Bosporus submarine canyon, the Gihon river continued its southwards course, part of which is now currently submerged at the Marmara Sea, then the Aegean Sea, and then the Levantine Sea. It is interesting to note that just very recently, scientists have discovered a giant ancient river system the size of the Nile submerged under the eastern Mediterranean Sea, otherwise known as the Levant

The Desert of Paran where the Israelis wandered for 40 years is the Nafud desert in Saudi Arabia

Watch the whole Youtube video “Exodus route 2 - Locating Mount Sinai, the Desert of Sin, Rephidim & the Desert of Paran”. After Mount Sinai, the next station of the Exodus was the Desert of Paran: Numbers 10: 11-12 On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle of the covenant law. Then the Israelites set out from the Desert of Sinai and traveled from place to place until the cloud came to rest in the Desert of Paran. The Nafud desert is a desert in the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Located northwest from Harrat Khaybar (which I identified as the desert of Mount Sinai) is the land of Canaan (or the Promised land), and the vast Nafud desert is what separates them by a distance of approximately 754 kilometers. Desert kites are dry stone wall structures found in Southwest Asia (Middle East, but also North Africa, Central Asia and Arabia), which were first discovered from the air during the 1920s. There are over 6,

The Rephidim Spring produced when Moses struck the Rock in Horeb is at the Sadd Al Khanaq dam in Medina

Image
Watch the whole Youtube video “Exodus route 2 - Locating Mount Sinai, the Desert of Sin, Rephidim & the Desert of Paran”. Exodus 17: 1 The whole Israelite community set out from the Desert of Sin, traveling from place to place as the Lord commanded. They camped at Rephidim.   Rephidim was where Moses struck a rock and caused water to come out, that was enough to quench the thirst of perhaps more than a million Israelites. He called the source of this spring “Massah and Meribah” - see Exodus 17: 1-7 . Located 151 kilometers northeast of Yanbu Al-Nakhal (or the Biblical Elim) and at the east side of the mountain range (or the Desert of Sin) is found an ancient dam named Sadd Al-Khanaq . It stretches across a tight corridor between two mountains . Its height of 17 meters coincides with the height of the two mountains that encase the dam, while its length is “limited” to 43 meters thanks to two protruding cliffs on both sides of the valley that form two natural shoulders providing
