I am going to try to go to the presentation tonight, but there is no information on this guy or the one claim previewed in the mailer. The guy is Dan Bentzinger, the claim is that Israeli Archeologists have new verification of the location of the Red Sea crossing.
I could not really find anything online, even at the bible archeology sites, although that was amusing for other reasons: (can't get the youtube to embed)

Does anyone know what this guy is referring to concerning the Red Sea Crossing? I would like to be somewhat prepared before I go.
Is it anything to do with this site?

This has a lot in common:

I suspect this is what the guy will trump up. But the flyer indicated "new evidence" from Archeologists (I mis-quoted above, there was no reference to Israeli Archeologists. It was "Israel's Red Sea crossing"). I see that Wyatt has been dead for over 10 years and thoroughly debunked (thanks for the links). Dan Bentzinger I think is from a canned program created by the Washington Conference of Seventh Day Adventists because in researching this presentation I came across many similiarly titled talks (all had "discoveries" in the title) from similarly clad seventh day adventists.
So is there some new recent evidence for the Red Sea crossing we are unaware of? I will laugh if I see Ron Wyatt's mug on the screen. I have tried online looking for accredited sources form real archeologists, but have struck out so far. I may just try calling the local University.
