The Parting of the Red Sea
dihard:
The biblical story Moses and the Israelites escape across the parted Red Sea may actually be true. Researchers at National Center for Atmospheric Research and the University of Colorado at Boulder show that if the winds get to be 63 mph in the Eastern Nile Delta, they could push back the waters, exposing a mud flat about 2.5 miles long and 3 miles wide for four hours.
