The answer to this question is still hotly debated by scientists and historians, but there is mounting evidence to suggest that the famed Red Sea was, in fact, man-made. Although the specifics are still being determined, it is thought that a massive earthquake or geological event caused a fissure to open up in the earth, allowing water to rush in and create the sea. This theory would explain why the Red Sea is so deep (averaging around 1,500 meters) and why it is home to such a unique and diverse ecosystem.<\/p>\n

No, the Red Sea is not man made. The Red Sea is a natural sea that is located between Africa and Asia.<\/p>\n

How was the Red Sea created? <\/h2>\n

The Red Sea is a unique geological formation that was created by the split of Arabia from Africa due to continental drift. This split started in the Eocene epoch and accelerated during the Oligocene epoch. The Red Sea is still widening and it is considered that the sea will become an ocean in time, as proposed in the model of Tuzo Wilson.<\/p>\n

The ancient Egyptians built many canals across the red sea but none of them lasted. The Red Sea was mentioned heavily in the Biblical book of Exodus which describes the holy Crossing of the split of the waters of the red sea. In the 6th century BC, Darius I of Persia made the Red Sea his navigation project.<\/p>\n
