The fictional

How can the water surface be able to split apart, exposing the imposing road in the deep bottom? "The sea side splits" - this is a thousand year event.

From ancient Eastern treasure to Western mythology, there is no shortage of motifs like a character running to the sea, enemies chasing behind. At that time, the sea side split apart so that he or she could escape.

Moses led 600,000 people with luggage and fled, crossing the Sinai peninsula.

I thought it was only a legend, but scientists think that the 'water separator' is entirely possible. But how to say " to face" the ocean also needs a great amount of energy! Which is the 'power' ?

First, reread one of the most popular stories about 'the road across the sea'.

Moses leads the Jews to cross the Red Sea

The Old Testament recounts that when the ancient Jews had to be slaves in Egypt, life was extremely miserable. To free the people from their imprisonment, a hero rose up - that was Moses . He led 600,000 people and luggage to flee, crossing the Sinai Peninsula.

The water immediately split into two so that the Jews could continue their journey.

The Egyptian Pharaoh sent the army to pursue the chase. The Jews had fled to the Red Sea and were still caught up. In the midst of danger, the water surface split in half so that the Jews continued their journey. Of course the Egyptians tried to chase but couldn't.

The story is later recorded by the Bible: "St. Moses raised his hand on the sea, and the sea collapsed again, at the time of the morning. The Egyptian army was fleeing, meeting the sea, the Lord shoved the Egyptian army. In the middle of the sea, the sea water collapses, burying the war and cavalry, burying all the forces of Pharaoh who have followed the Jewish people into the seabed.

The explanation of science

Researchers from the National Center for Meteorology (NCAR) and the University of Colorado in the US simulated computers to find out what really happened in the Red Sea.

Factors of interest include geology under water, waves and wind.

The strong east wind blew through the night, splitting the water right at the northern coastal lagoon of the Red Sea.

Finally, they came up with an unexpected conclusion. Accordingly, the strong East winds blew through the night, splitting the water right at the location of the northern coastal lagoon of the Red Sea (the Egyptian shore). Jews follow this 'temporary' path to flee in the night.

Carl Drews, who led the study, said: ' The splitting of water is due to the movement of the flow .

The wind has made the water move according to a certain physical mechanism, thereby opening a safe corridor for Jews. After that, the water returned to its original position and coincidentally, it happened at the time of the morning to submerge the Egyptian troops. '

The wind speed of 100km / h can cause the water surface to 'drift' out with a width of 5km for 4 hours.

It is known in the simulation experiment, the wind speed of 100km / h can cause the water surface to 'drift' out with a width of 5km during 4 hours. These are essential elements to help hundreds of thousands of Jews run all the way from 3 to 4 km to the other side.

Of course scientists can't explain all the myths, for example, how can people walk in the wind 100km / h? However, the theory was that the large number of troops would create a protective 'human wall' .

Researcher Carl Drews said: 'No one wants to do that. But seeing as the end of the extermination of Pharaoh soldiers, they only had the option of overcoming '.
