Keeto- many are familiar with those pictures. Noone knows for sure if it’s in Saudi Arabia or Egypt there are 2 disputed locations. Secondly the rock that has a split I heard doesn’t match the location in Torah.
The gold chariots are old news as well and is only a possibility especially since there are disputed locations of the yam suf crossing. Some say bnei yisrael crossed somewhere which has elevated land inside the water and all sorts of theories.
Noah’s ark there is actually a very new and recent youtube video where someone captures video with a drone and is standing right near it. It is an unusual structure but I heard that it might just be a monumental structure that someone built to commemorate the event.
Also there is a video of people going up to Aharon Hakohens kever in Jordan on “hor hahar” which is a 6 hour hike up the mountain and they say it’s his tomb. Actually very exciting to watch look it up.
Yes these things give chizuk until you get disappointed by hearing disputed facts and theories that don’t match up. Besides we obviously believe in all these events regardless and don’t need the proof to be our chizuk and we know that many places have been covered up/destroyed over time or we don’t have any specific mesorah from generation to generation for whatever reason. Maybe they didn’t see any importance in it idk.
It is nice though to see these things in real life and close up, places and objects that we read and learn about in Torah, but it’s only secondary. Fascinating if you know for sure what you are looking at. To stand in a place where such great Tzaddikim stood so many years ago.
