Historians and archaeologist have erroneously credited the Hyksos (15th dynasty) with the introduction of the horse drawn chariot to Egypt because no evidence of the chariot can be found in earlier dynasties. The Bible records that all chariots prior to the Exodus were lost in the Red Sea. Most of the 12 dynasty artwork in which chariots could have been depicted has also been lost. | Historians and archaeologist have erroneously credited the Hyksos (15th dynasty) with the introduction of the horse drawn chariot to Egypt because no evidence of the chariot can be found in earlier dynasties.

This would tend to suggest that the Exodus took place just before the 15th dynasty. One would not expect to find chariots of dynasties prior to the Exodus because they were all destroyed at the time of the Exodus. | ||
Wyatt found chariot wheels covered with coral strewn across the bottom of the Red Sea. There was a well preserved golden 4 spoked chariot wheel. He also found six and eight spoked chariot wheels covered with coral from one side of the Red Sea to the other in the Gulf of Aqaba where there is a large beach and a natural land bridge at the opening of the Wadi Wadir, just a little bit north of Jabel Lawz on the opposite side. Wyatt also found a pair of columns which appeared to have been left by Solomon to mark the site of the Red Sea crossing at this point. | Wyatt found chariot wheels covered with coral strewn across the bottom of the Red Sea.
