Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. ... Publisher's Weekly noted: "Reconstructions of biblical events by modern investigators are nothing new, but Humphreys's analysis of the Exodus reflects an unusual combination of homework, legwork and creativity. Humphreys, a materials scientist at Cambridge University, is a self-confessed amateur in the fields of archeology and biblical studies. But he emerges as the best sort of amateur, whose enthusiasm for his subject and joy in puzzle solving have a contagious appeal in spite of occasional quirkiness. As an outsider asking pesky but often astute questions, Humphreys will remind some readers of a certain physicist portrayed in "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!"; and like Feynman, Humphreys shows an ability to sidestep scholarly assumptions by checking facts." (Amen!)
