I read a story not long ago about the parting of the Red Sea, and apparently it has taken place on many occasions throughout history. Near one of the shores, if the moon is in the correct position and there are strong winds coming from a certain direction. The water pushes with the force of the wind in one direction leaving a large lake one side and the sea on the other. It leaves a shallow causeway to walk over.

If you remember the story that we were all told it states; the winds came and the sea parted. It is only our imagination and the exaggeration of the writer that allows us to believe it was parted in the middle. The story of Moses parting the sea could be true, but it could have been someone else running away from slavery with a few others. I would find it hard to believe that the pharaohs would allow so many just to walk off.
