The chariot wheel in the picture has an uncanny resemblance to the later Greek style of chariot wheels.
6 spoke and 8 spoke wheels were also found in the same area. The key in your quote is the word "mostly" which means the 4 spoke was not entirely abandoned. And then there is this:
Four, six and eight spoked wheels were found in the Red Sea. These wheels were typical of the wheels used in the 18th Dynasty at the time of Moses and the Red Sea Exodus.
Wyatt recovered the hub of a wheel with the remains of eight spokes and gave this significant find to Nassif Mohammed Hassan, Director of Antiquities in Cairo. Mr. Hassan immediately identified the artifact as a chariot wheel dating over 3500 years ago during the 18th Dynasty, the only time the ancient Egyptians used an eight spoked wheel. The hub and spokes are on display in Cairo, Egypt.

There are several pictures on this site of the coral encrusted wheels. Also, a picture of an Egyptian drawing depicting a 4 spoke wheel. Also, the dvd I mentioned above "Exodus Revealed" is on this site. Yes, Ron Wyatt is mentioned and I know that there have been some who don't trust Mr. Wyatt's work. I don't know about the rest of his work but what he did on the red sea crossing has been taken up by very reputable people and verified. Even Snopes wont dispute this, check it out.
I still say - no recording of any greek army swallowed up by the sea. Would you not be excited by the discoveries that would validate our faith in God's word to the rest of the world? We don't need the validation - we are already believers but I love it when discoveries show the validity of the Bible to those that would have everyone thinking it is a book of fairy tales.
