What markers are you referring to?
I bet you thought I forgot, or didnt wanna answer!
Anyways here area a couple sources for your perusal. The first one regarding the number of Israelites in the Exodus.
(Num. 1:46) 603,550 This was just the males who were 20 years and older. The Levite males one month and older, who were counted separately, totaled 22,300, if the separate figures in Numbers 3:22,28,34 are added, but 22,000 according to Numbers 3:39. Of course, women and children probably tripled or even quadrupled these figures.
Having done a few quick calculations I come up with:
625,850 men above the age of 20
That alone is a huge number, but then you add in all the women and children and: 1,877,550 for 3x the amount of men; 2,503,400 for 4x the amount of men. So yeah I was shy 3million by about 500k, but hey whats a few hundred thousand?
As far as markers left in the desert go:
Exodus 24:4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
Obviously this was a LONG time ago and its not all still standing today, but there is a few things that are left behind. Check out Ron Wyatt's website. Regardless of what you think of Mr. Wyatt, he does have some compelling discoveries that are worth looking at.
