On 2 February
2006 the Institute hosted Professor Colin Humphreys. Colin
Humphreys is professor of materials at Cambridge University
and author of the recent book The Miracles of Exodus : A

The Exodus of the Israelites from
Egypt is one of the most important events in world history.
In this talk Professor Humphreys reconstructed in detail
the evidence for the final Exodus miracle, the crossing
of the River Jordan, and also suggested a new site for Mount
Sinai. The talk was illustrated by some rare photographs.
