Sodom and Gomorrah? Evidence That a Cosmic Impact Destroyed a Biblical City in the Jordan Valley
PatriotandLiberty ^ | 2021 | UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA – SANTA BARBARA

Posted on 11/03/2023 1:30:03 AM PDT by spirited irish

Scientists have found evidence of a cosmic airburst event around 1650 BCE that devastated the ancient city of Tall el-Hammam in the southern Jordan Valley, causing extreme temperatures and depositing high concentrations of salt. This event, potentially inspiring the biblical tales of Sodom and Jericho’s destruction, might have also led to a mass abandonment of cities in the region during the “Late Bronze Age Gap.”

In the Middle Bronze Age (about 3,600 years ago or roughly 1650 BCE), the city of Tall el-Hammam was ascendant. Located on high ground in the southern Jordan Valley, northeast of the Dead Sea, the settlement in its time had become the largest continuously occupied Bronze Age city in the southern Levant, having hosted early civilization for a few thousand years. At that time, it was 10 times larger than Jerusalem and 5 times larger than Jericho.

“It was God, NOT a *cosmic impact*.”
—————
So, just because you say, so, God can’t use natural instruments to work His will? Frankly, that’s the norm. The way we know something is a miracle is that the event is particularly unusual, and it either protects His people or deals a severe blow to His enemies, or both.

Thanks for sharing your sleuthing. I stand in agreement with your conclusions. Science must always be secular man’s instrument for proving the non-existence of the supernatural God of Creation, angels, souls, heaven, hell, and miracles.

I don’t doubt God could have done it that way.

I guess I wasn’t clear. They are attributing it solely to a natural phenomenon as if *Oops, it’s just a coincidence.*

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is in tomorrow morning’s Torah reading.

Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim were in the Valley of Siddim, and their sites are now under 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:

Any of those threads mention Ron Wyatt’s contribution? Yep, already discovered by him.

Ron Wyatt was a charlatan, or delusional, or both, and anyone who still buys into his BS is pathetic.

You keep saying that. Yet, the NEW ZEALAND NOAH’S ARK SCANS show that Noah’s Ark, THAT RON WYATT DISCOVERED, is legit. Even Turkey’s archeological experts agree. The scans don’t lie, Dude. Any experts out there saying they’re BS? Nope.

The final nail in your Ron Wyatt-hating coffin will be when Israel finally comes out with validation of Ron’s discovery of the Ark of the Covenant.

A Summary Of The Resistivity Imaging Of Noah’s Ark (2D results) (2015)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/16aUPi-rpR13ypDft-Lal_zwzhVss8Kin/view

This site contains just about everything there is about Noah’s ark, including Larsen’s summary.
https://www.noahsarkscans.com/durupinar-noahs-ark-research-papers-and-reports/

https://www.israel365news.com/334545/3-d-scans-confirm-noahs-ark-buried-in-turkish-mountains/

The Turkish Andalou news service reported that a film crew led by Cem Sertesen, who spent the past 22 years in search of the ark. Certessen released a documentary about finding the ark in 2017.

His search focused on the Durupınar site, a 150-meter-long formation among the mountains. The site is a large aggregate structure on Mount Tendürek in eastern Turkey about two miles north of the Iranian border at an elevation of about 2,000 meters above sea level. The spot is over 50 miles from the nearest body of water.

Computer engineer and archaeologist Andrew Jones joined with geophysicist John Larsen in using 3D imaging technology to scan under the ground. The images were gathered by sending electric signals underground via cables.

Sertesen confirmed that the images seemed to show a ship.

“These are the actual images of the Noah’s Ark. They are neither fake nor simulation. They show the entire ship buried underground.” Sertesen told The Hurriyet Daily News . “It’s a ship, but it’s too early to call it Noah’s Ark. We have to do a lot of work. This can only be done with the support of universities and the Turkish state.”

If the new discovery is confirmed, it will prove the historical accuracy of the Biblical account of the flood during the time of Noah which describes the final resting spot of the ark as being in the Ararat mountains.

Well we know what they were doing in Sodom, but what about Gomorrah? What is Gomorrahry?

——>Stop spreading lies.

It must be very embarrassing to you to know that Ron Wyatt, a Seventh-day-Adventist, discovered Noah’s Ark, and science proves it. The scans are there for anyone to see, even you.

Might it not have been both? "God’s ways are as mysterious as the pathway of the wind ..."

It isn’t embarrassing to anyone except the stooges who repeat his lies, because science hasn’t proven anything but that he’s full of ****. Stop spreading his ridiculous lies.

What is Gomorrahry?

The Bible doesn't say ...

But I wildly speculate that it may possibly have had something to do with cutting little boys' parts off and pretending that they're girls.

And all you have to do is explain away the SCAN results, which you can’t.

It’s a geological formation that’s millions of years old. There isn’t any wood underneath it, and there aren’t any such scans, or they’re being deliberately misinterpreted by stooges. And nice thread hijack, btw. From now on, try to confine your sectarian turmoil to FR’s vibrant Religion section.

Sorry Dude, but you are delusional. Anyone with an IQ of at least 40 can clearly see the scans for themselves. They are 100% legit. John Larsen is a credentialed expert in his field and highly regarded. On the other hand, you are quite pathetic. The good news for you is that more scans are to be performed next year, from what I read, by other teams of engineers. Should be interesting. I have no doubt that they will validate/duplicate John Larsen’s published findings.

By the way, the “WOOD” is petrified and infused/saturated with minerals from the surrounding earth.
