An archaeologist claimed in an interview published in late June that he has identified the ancient Biblical site where Sodom once stood.
Trinity Southwest University’s Dean of Archaeology Steven Collins told host of the Rosenberg Report, Joel C. Rosenberg, that he and his team believe the Tell el-Hammam site in Jordan appears to have many of the markers of Sodom. The site is reportedly scattered with Bronze-age remains that appear to have been melted in a “flash heat” situation, matching the Biblical account of how Sodom burned to the ground.
“As soon as we get a few centimeters into that [Bronze Age] matrix, this piece of pottery, the shoulder of a storage jar, is facing up at us. And it looks like it’s glazed,” Collins told Rosenberg. Another member of Collins’ team remarked that the scars looked similar to those witnessed at the Trinity nuclear test site in New Mexico where the first atomic bomb was detonated.
Previous reports on the site suggest that the site was decimated by a meteor-impact some 4,000-years-ago. This cataclysm has yet to be confirmed, but evidence shows a “charcoal-rich destruction layer” and a series of melted objects, according to a study published in Nature.
The study suggested that the site was “wiped out in the blink of an eye,” Collins noted.
He went on to claim that “there are at least 25 known pieces of geography [in Scripture] that you can triangulate between to take you to the city of Sodom.” For example, Genesis 13:10 states that when Lot was at Bethel and Ai, he traveled eastwards. Tall el-Hammam is east of Bethel and Ai.

You wanna see where the vice is worse-a?
Here it is, I mean here it is.”
Paint Your Wagon
Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim were in the Valley of Siddim, and their sites are now under the waters of the Dead Sea, which formed after the cataclysm. Only the "little" Zoar site (presumably a small fort that controlled one of the important approaches or trade routes) remained visible when the Israelites returned from Egypt.
NTSA, sorted:
I hope he’s got lots of hand sanitizer with him.
My take is that Sodom was wiped out by “fire & brimstone” from a meteorite that struck at an angle (from the south) in Somalia, blasting debris of the impact into a 2000 mile arced path to Sodom. Maybe a chunk of the meteor went with the debris and remained hot enough to cause the flash-heat evidence they’re seeing.
