• Pharaohs body was found in the Red Sea, this
  proves that the story of Moses (peace be upon
  him) splitting the sea with the help of Allah
  Almighty really happened. Pharaohs body is 3500
  years old, its amazing that it was preserved
  very well in the sea. Even some of the mummies
  are not preserved this well. Also fish in the sea
  could have easily eaten the flesh, but they
  didnt. Why is that? The answer is in the
  following verse of the Quran where God says

21

• We delivered the Children of Israel across the
  sea. Pharaoh and his troops pursued them,
  aggressively and sinfully. When drowning became a
  reality for him, he said, "I believe that there
  is no god except the One in whom the Children of
  Israel have believed I am a submitter.Too late!
  For you have rebelled already, and chose to be a
  transgressor. Today, we will preserve your body,
  to set you up as a lesson for future generations.
  Unfortunately, many people are totally oblivious
  to Our signs.Quran (1090-92)

22
Pharaohs body. Even the internal organs are
intact.
