Archaeology?[edit]
While I think it is an interesting story of note to be kept in the article, it should be mentioned such claims are dubious. The "discoverer" of the purported submerged pharaonic chariot wheels was Ron Wyatt. Apparently he's the greatest archaeologist to walk God's green earth because he also discovered: "Noah's ark, the Biblical Ark of the Covenant, the location of Sodom And Gomorrah, the Tower of Babel, the true site of Mt. Sinai, the true site of the crucifixion of Jesus, and the original stones of the Ten Commandments." Even WorldNetDaily appears [http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=33168 less than convinced]. It was worded correctly. It 'may' be evidence of the crossing of the Red Sea, or it 'may' just be coral. If it were truly period chariot wheels it would be quite Schliemann-esque. I'll take this with a whole pillar of salt and not look back. Khirad (talk) 13:26, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- I note that info on the subject has been removed. At any rate the story was forwarded to me and I didn't find it credible. How could somebody in a Bronze Age chariot pulled by horses drive 120 miles through wilderness and be a threat at the other end of the trip? IMHO that would take a massive supply line in the rear or resupply stations along the way. The copy sent me also mis-quoted Pentateuch after hypocritically slamming other writers for not knowing what Pentateuch says. Two things to always watch out for: reasonability and accuracy of quotes.

pre-1967 history[edit]
I have a 1924 map showing "Nawabiya" at this place, so it was not founded from nothing after 1967 as the article appears to suggest. Zerotalk 05:11, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
- Could be the castle, could be the name for the geographic area. Or a village later turned into a town. Maybe an hour of searching has been pretty fruitless except for [1]. Doug Weller (talk) 16:17, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
