 Dr. Glenn Fritz, who has a PhD in environmental geography, conducted a massive study of the land and all the historical references about where the crossing happened. He found only one exact match, Egypt's Nueva Beach. Nueva Beach is almost five miles long and three miles wide, providing enough room for the Israelite population to fit. Here, they'd be trapped with the mountains on both sides, the Red Sea in front of them and Pharaoh's army right behind them.
