Sodom?
I’ll stay with the Biblical account.
interesting
no, it was an IDF secret weapon
I may have read something similar, but the original account does not quite describe a bucolic village . . .
Genesis 19:24-25 “Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah - from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities - and also the vegetation in the land.”
Thor.
A piece of the Clovis comet?
The timing is about right.
Let that be a lesson: never substitute the town slut in a virgin sacrifice.
Gee, too bad nothing like this happens today, like, say, over Tehran...
Am I the only one picturing shots of Fireball whiskey?
This is part of the same event that killed off all the mega fauna. Most of the impact was in North America on the Laurentide Ice Sheet.
The event is believed to have lasted for 100 years in a cycle as the the Earth passed through the debris of a broken up 100 mile diameter comet. All of North America burned in massive firestorms that left a over foot thick “black mat” of burned vegetation.
Other common evidence is to be found in the Carolina Bays and the Nebraska Rainwater Basins. There are many peer reviewed papers on these connecting them to this event. Both were caused by large chunks of ice thrown up into the stratosphere landing and shattering sending razor sharp ice shards in all directions slicing all things in their paths.
This titanic catastrophe began the Younger Dryas Period of 1000 years of very cold temperatures causing the once melting Ice Cap to regrow. This period is believed to have ended when the Earth encountered more mile diameter chucks.
This cycle continues today as the Earth passes through the Taurid meteor shower in the fall. Hopefully all the large chucks are gone now.
Bada Bing, Bada BURN
AIRBORNE!
Death from above!
The Earth has been around a long long time. There could easily have been another fully advanced civilization wiped out by their own folly or a celestial event of great magnitude.
Wow. Sounds like that was a real bad time to be alive.
Might this be the same event that created the Carolina Bays?
