Silvia told Science News that the blast would have instantly killed the estimated 40, to 65, people who inhabited Middle Ghor, a kilometer-wide circular plain in Jordan. Five large sites in the region which have also been excavated offered additional evidence of an immediate end to settlement at the same time of the proposed Tall el-Hammam disaster.
Steven Collins, the Tall el-Hammam site is a strong candidate for the biblical city of Sodom due to a multitude of factors. Thus He overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities — and also the vegetation in the land. On the ground at the site, Collins witnessed such destruction first-hand. Could it really be that this destruction, hypothetically caused by the proposed meteor explosion and its catastrophic fallout, are the natural causes of the divine wholesale razing of the city recorded in the Bible?
In his Biblical Archaeology Review article, Collins writes that the massive disaster was seared into collective cultural memory and preserved in the biblical tradition. In Streetwise Hebrew for the Times of Israel Community, each month we learn several colloquial Hebrew phrases around a common theme. Actually he used that time to impress the girls.
Sparking he called it. Later when he found out there were school buses, he was madder than hell. Abraham was given the covenant by God Himself for his descendants as well. Lot was Abrahams nephew and righteous in Gods sight. To humor Abraham, Abraham was sure God was mistaken, and Abraham had to learn that God does not make mistakes, hence send angels, tell him to find 2 good people, and at last have Abraham recognize that God was right and that the cities had to be destryed.
Graves, David E. Toronto: Electronic Christian Media, I have been told that the siege, or destruction of Sodom, Gomorrah and the other plains cities of Siddim lasted 5 months. Can this be substantiated biblically? Thank You, James Letts. Searing lasers they oft aim At the cornea and retina, To torch cells by the millions As at Sodom and Gomorrah, Yet the intention, it is not, Of optic deities As they restore sights divine, To smite, with wrath, the laities.
The cities were destroyed by an asteroid explosion whitch went on and crushed making the Dead Sea. Even the Edomite city which we call Petra in Jordan got melted. The city is not build in the rock as this was before they had iron tools. The Egyptians and all the ancient civilization even prediluvian knew how to make concrete and geopolymers in order to make cast stones. Petra is build in limestone cast stones not in rocks. The red and pink colors come from the baking of the buildings that were transformed either in high rocks or in hobbit holes.
Sodom and Gomorrah are incinerated in brimstone. You can see it even today. All is burned down to white ashes and the huge brimestomes are reduced to small golfbal size stones incapsulated in the ashes which you can still ignate.
Good to know that the story of Abraham and Lot as witnesses of the destruction of Sodom from the city Zoar is a fabrication as no one could ever survive an asteroid collision at only less than 50 km from its epicenter. Genesis 14 talks about field Siddim which became sea, proving that the Dead Sea came only after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

It would have exploded about 2. Moore , an archaeologist at the University of South Carolina, for the Conversation.
Swords, spears, mudbricks and pottery began to melt. Almost immediately, the entire city was on fire. Seconds after the blast, a shockwave ripped through the city at a speed of roughly miles per hour—faster than the worst tornado ever recorded.
