“As soon as we get a few centimeters into that [Bronze Age] matrix...”

So there are higher layers than the Bronze Age one. Which means this site was inhabited after the destruction of the Bronze Age site. Which means it’s not Soddom.

Duh.

Damn. What a way to go.

Hey, but the best way to go is in a catastrophic implosion, turning everyone inside into toothpaste in a millisecond. Doing what you love to do.

Are you playing the matinee at the Improv in Chitown this evening?

See if I can get a flight.

Save me a table for 2.

What’s funny is you can find old maps of the Holy Land, probably from the 18th and 19th century, that show the 5 cities of the plain marked under the Dead Sea. So it can’t have been a totally new theory.

I’ve never been to Israel or Jordan, but I always imagined that area (where Sodom was) to be bleak and desolate, not with lots of greenery.

I suspect at times, that music makers and script writers lurk at FreeRepublic, in order to borrow from FR creations (most of which, are the result of fumbling keyboards or eyeglasses).

On youtube, there are videos made of the place where the sulphur balls impacted Sodom and Gomorrah. Ron Wyatt documented much of Biblical events. But since he was a SDA, he is a heathen.

Back in the 1950s a US preacher cultivated good relations with the King of Jordan and did a bunch of dives in the Dead Sea, then wrote a long rambling (self-published I think) book about his search for the cities. Somewhere around here I’ve got a paperback of it from back then.

Yeah, God wouldn’t let heathens find something like that, for sure.

See post 28.

It’s probably based on the Old Testament. :^)

There are at least two music performers and at least one self-published fiction writer around here.

I usually comment before reading, but thanks for the correction. Ron Wyatt is the real deal. I am not a SDA, but I damn sure believe Christians are lost. The Torah is forever, and I am not talking about blood sacrifices, and washing hands. The High Holy days, Passover, Sabbath and keeping all 10 of the things on the Stone tablets. Keep it Holy. Righteous is synonymous with following the Torah (Law). Purposely ignoring them because you are baptized and “saved” is a mistake.
