A multi-disciplinary team of scientists has a new theory for why all human civilization abruptly ended on the banks of the Dead Sea some 3,700 years ago.
According to analyzed archaeological evidence, the disaster of biblical proportions can be explained by a massive explosion, similar to one recorded over 100 years ago in Russia. […]
As reported in Science News, at the recently concluded Denver-based ASOR Annual Meeting, director of scientific analysis at Jordan’s Tall el-Hammam Excavation Project Phillip J. Silvia presented a paper, “The 3.7kaBP Middle Ghor Event: Catastrophic Termination of a Bronze Age Civilization” during a session on Environmental Archaeology of the Ancient Near East.
According to the paper’s abstract, the scientists discovered evidence of a “high-heat” explosive event north of the Dead Sea that instantaneously “devastated approximately 500 km².”
The explosion would have wiped out all civilization in the affected area, including Middle Bronze Age cities and towns.
Silvia told Science News that the blast would have instantly killed the estimated 40,000 to 65,000 people who inhabited Middle Ghor, a 25-kilometer-wide circular plain in Jordan. …

The Physical Ashen Remains of Sodom & Gomorrah | DESTROYED BY FIRE & BRIMSTONE
"Reminds me of Pompeii... people were killed by the chemical “attack’ if that’s what you want to call the volcanic gasses."
According to the paper’s abstract, the scientists discovered evidence of a “high-heat” explosive event north of the Dead Sea that instantaneously “devastated approximately 500 km².” >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Mythology agrees with this finding.
Many have concluded long ago that the blast was nuclear in origin, explaining the highly radioactive salt springs in the Southwestern area of the Dead Sea, ostensibly caused by the presumed fallout.
https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ancientatomicwar/esp_ancient_atomic_02.htm
This nuclear destruction was also recorded in the Lamentations of Sumer and is said to have occurred around 2000 BCE.
****************************************
“
The Lamentations of Sumer, a group of very ancient historical texts which recount the pitiful and heartbreaking desolation of the cities of the Mesopotamian lands around the year 2000 BCE, describe the effects of the destruction in even more detail than the equivalent biblical account. First, the Lamentations make it clear that the destruction was not by any natural calamity but rather a great storm decreed by Anu. Second, the texts detail that the great storm of Anu was the result of an enormous explosion described as a malefic blast that was the forerunner of a malignant storm. Third, the cruel punishment that Anu decreed is described as a razing storm joined by a scorching heat. Here we see that the storm of Anu doesn’t refer to a meteorological tempest but rather to a column of fire that scorches everything that it touches. Fourth, the same scary phenomenon not only burned the earth but also deprived the earth of the shining sun of the day and made the stars of the night invisible. The smoke of the storm of fire reached up to the sky and blocked out the solar light completely, something that wouldn’t happen with a normal storm. Fifth, in the following days an evil wind seized the inhabitants, made their faces turn pale, made them cough up blood and polluted the water of the rivers making it bitter and deadly. Sixth, the texts recount that after the razing of the cities the agricultural fields and the prairies were contaminated and gave bad weeds and shriveled plants.”
****************************************
The ancient texts of Sumer indicate, Sodom and Gomorrah were cities of the god Marduk, lost in a holocaust to the Anunaki. Marduk was forced to evacuate the earth and lost the war with the Anu.The civilizations of Egypt and babylon remained loyal to Marduk and preserve what was left of a defeated kingship forced to flee the Earth, so the Sumerian history indicates.
All of this barely makes any sense to the modern mind, but we are left with radioactive salt deposits and radioactive springs in the area where Sodom and Gomorrah likely existed,along with soil patterns like those found at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, all that is left are the foundations of buildings , quite large foundations indicating a substantial city state.
The biblical tale of Sodom and Gomorrah is said to be a restatement of the Sumerian legends of the final battle between the forces of Marduk and the Anu in which 7 nuclear weapons were dropped in and around the the Dead Sea area, a battle between the forces of Earth and Heaven which is so much a part of world mythology from Japan to Babylon, Egypt and various ancient civilizations in South America.
You have it backwards.
Lots of info (and conjecture! ) in all of these. Thank you.

The Minoan Civilization was taken out at that same time according to one “meteor” theory expert. God was cleaning house at that end of the Mediterranean.

excerpt:
Enlil called the storm. The people mourn.
Winds of abundance he took from the land. The people mourn.
Bood winds he took away from Sumer. the people mourn.
Deputed evil winds. The people mourn.
Entrusted them to Kingaluda, tender of storms.
He called the storm that annihilates the land. The people mourn.
He called disastrous winds. The people mourn.
Enlil — choosing Gibil as his helper —
called the (great) hurricane of heaven. The people mourn.
The (blinding) hurricane howling across the skies — the people mourn —
the tempest unsubduable like breaks through levees,
beats down upon, devours the city’s ships,
(all these) he gathered at the base of heaven. The people mourn.
(Great) fires he lit that heralded the storm. The people mourn.
And lit on either flank of furious winds the searing heat of the desert.
Like flaming heat of noon this fire scorched.
The storm ordered by Enlil in hate, the storm which wears away the country,
covered Ur like a cloth, veiled it like a linen sheet.
On that day did the storm leave the city; that city was a ruin.
O father Nanna, that town was left a ruin. The people mourn.
On that day did the storm leave the country. The people mourn.
Its people(’s corpses), not potsherds,
littered the approaches.
The walls were gaping;
the high gates, the roads,
were piled with dead.
In the wide streets, where feasting crowds (once) gathered, jumbled they lay.
In all the streets and roadways bodies lay.
In open fields that used to fill with dancers,
the people lay in heaps.
The country’s blood now filled its holes, like metal in a mold;
bodies dissolved — like butter left in the sun.
Well it looks like God killed a lot fags with a meteor
Looks like it's more regurgitation of Ron Wyatt's long line of BS, but I'll check out the vid when I get back to the newer hardware.
Enjoy. Almond Joy. Mounds. See, all archaeology leads me back to candy.Hammurabi and the Revised Chronology, Immanuel Velikovsky
King Hammurabi is the best known of the early monarchs of ancient times... belonged to the First BabyIonian Dynasty which came to an end, under circumstances shrouded in mystery, some three or four generations after Hammurabi. For the next several centuries, the land was in the domain of a people known as the Kassites. They left few examples of art and hardly any literary works -- theirs was an age comparable to and contemporaneous with that of the Hyksos in Egypt, and various surmises were made as to the identity of the two peoples. A cartouche of the Hyksos king Khyan was even found in Babylonia and another in Anatolia, a possible indication of the extent of the power and influence wielded by the Hyksos. Until a few decades ago, the reign of Hammurabi was dated to around the year 2100 before the present era...Joseph and Potiphar, Immanuel Velikovsky
At Platanos on Crete, a seal of the Hammurabi type was discovered in a tomb together with Middle Minoan pottery of a kind associated at other sites with objects of the Twelfth Egyptian Dynasty, more exactly, of its earlier part. This is regarded as proof that these two dynasties were contemporaneous... however... At Mari on the central Euphrates, among other rich material, a cuneiform tablet was found which established that Hammurabi of Babylonia and King Shamshi-Adad I of Assyria were contemporaries. An oath was sworn by the life of these two kings in the tenth year of Hammurabi, The finds at Mari "proved conclusively that Hammurabi came to the throne in Babylonia after the accession of Shamshi-Adad I in Assyria"... The Khorsabad list ends in the tenth year of Assur-Nerari V, which is computed to have been -745... the first year of Shamshi-Adad is calculated to have been -1726 and his last year -1694... it reduced the time of Hammurabi from the twenty-first century to the beginning of the seventeenth century... "a puzzling chronological discrepancy", which could only be resolved by making Hammurabi later than Amenemhet I of the Twelfth Dynasty...
If Hammurabi reigned at the time allotted to him by the finds at Mari and Khorsabad -- but according to the finds at Platanos was a contemporary of the Egyptian kings of the early Twelfth Dynasty -- then that dynasty must have started at a time when, according to the accepted chronology, it had already come to its end. In conventionally-written history, by -1680 not only the Twelfth Dynasty, but also the Thirteenth, or the last of the Middle Kingdom, had expired.
The story of Joseph is one of the best known in the Bible... in order to find out whether the personality of Joseph or the patron of the early stage of his career, Potiphar, is referred to in the historical documents, we have to look into those of the Middle Kingdom. The task appears simple. According to the Book of Genesis Potiphar was "an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard." In the register of the private names to the Ancient Records of Egypt by James Breasted, we find the name Ptahwer... at the service of the Pharaoh Amenemhet III of the Twelfth Dynasty of the Middle Kingdom. According to an inscription of Ptahwer at Sarbut el-Khadem in Sinai dated in the forty-fifth year of Amenemhet III, his office was that of "master of the double cabinet, chief of the treasury."
...The inscription records the successful accomplishment of some peaceful expedition. Since there is only one Ptahwer in the historical documents, and since he lived in the time when we expect to find him, we are probably not wrong in identifying the biblical Potiphar with the historical Ptahwer. This being the conclusion concerning Potiphar, we are curious to find whether any mention of Joseph is found in historical documents, too. the fact that from the great and glorious age of the Middle Kingdom only a very few historical inscriptions are extant. Since a great famine took place in the days of Joseph, it is, of course, important to trace such a famine in the age of which we speak. In the days of Amenemhet III there occurred in Egypt a famine enduring nine long years...
Thus it seems that the Pharaoh in whose days was the seven years' famine was the successor of the Pharaoh in whose days began the rise of Joseph's career (if Yatu is Joseph). Potiphar, who lived under Amenemhet III, probably lived also under his successor. The inscription which deals with Ptahwer mentions a man whose name is transliterated by Breasted as Y-t-w. Among the monuments of Amenemhet III's reign is one of the Storekeeper... The inscription that mentions Ptahwer refers to his activity in the mines of the Sinai peninsula. In this respect it is of interest to find that the Jewish traditions connect Joseph with the area of the Sinai Peninsula saying that he kept a large quantity of treasuries near Baal Zaphon, the scene of the Passage of the Sea.
Poetic holocaust beautifully written. Hope we humans do not have to deal with them all over again.
Yes, the power Elites have traditionally paid for scores if not thousands of religious frauds to discredit the Bible... it’s a neat and very expensive Hegelian tactic.
However, science is a study of God’s creation and will always prove out the Lord and His works.
The biblical tale of Sodom and Gomorrah is said to be a restatement of the Sumerian legends
No, the Hebrews were eyewitnesses.
Science is a method, and it has never proved out anything supernatural, so, no, it won't.
Pagan mythology is always a substrate or counterfeit of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Lord will always prove correct in the end for those who truly put him to good and Godly test.
Same way Campbell’s mythos in “The Hero With A Thousand Faces” is based on the historical fact of the life, death and resurrection of the one true Hero, Jesus Christ.
And then there is the Risen Christ, back from the dead... historically/legally/statistically proven miracle.
And the science is there, too, if you look for it.
But how’d you get on FR with that anti-Bible attitude?
Knowing the difference isn't an "anti-Bible attitude" troll.
