A meteor that exploded in the air near the Dead Sea 3,700 years ago may have wiped out communities, killed tens of thousands of people, and provided the kernel of truth to an old Bible story.
Archaeologists have been digging at the Tall el-Hamman site for 13 years, and have unearthed some pretty convincing evidence supporting the air-burst idea....
The exploding meteor destroyed the ancient city of Tall el-Hamman in Jordan. Some scholars think that it is the city called Sodom in the Bible....
the timing might be wrong, the theory is not proven, but like other myths, there might be a core of truth in the story a folk memory of a terrible disaster that happened in an area... and of course, the story tellers in all cultures often attribute disasters to the wrath of God for sin.
