The Red Sea Crossing of Mount Sinai

The location of the red sea crossing, for instance, needs to be suitable for the safe crossing of a vast multitude. Historically, this point of departure has generally been considered to be around the site of the nile delta in egypt. Some conservative christians have resisted such interpretations on account of their supposed diminishing of the miraculous character of thered sea crossing. However, such theories might be perfectly consistent with the biblical record and the dramatic and decisive deliverance that they describe - even if it would make for a less cinematic scene.
