Archeologists claim new location for Sodom and Gomorrah in Jordan
on Saturday, January 26 @ 12:02:28 CST
An international excavation team of archeologists led by Dr. Steven Collins, an expert on Biblical archeology from US Trinity Southwestern University, have claimed finding new evidence proving that the Biblical sites of Sodom and Gomorrah - two cities cited in Bible as "destroyed by God for their sins"- were located in Jordan's Tall al-Hammam in north of the Dead Sea, rather than attributed location in the south of the Dead Sea.
One of the archeologists in the excavation team said, "One of the interesting things about Tall al-Hammam is what we called a MB gap, that is the period of time between the Middle Bronze Age and Iron Age, because in normal locations like this, you have occupations one right on top of the other, but here, something very unique, something very significant took place in the Middle Bronze Age.
The city was destroyed by an event that was so dramatic that it scared everybody away for seven hundred years. Here, in this square, there's the perfect example. You have Iron Age foundations that are built right into a Middle Bronze Age rampart."
Many people located Sodom and Gomorrah towards the south of the Dead Sea but the reason that they choose the north of the Dead Sea is that historically, most ancient people--even scholars of the 19th century chose the northern Dead Sea for Sodom because the Biblical text is very clear about the location.
SANTORINI ERUPTION.....1627 BCE and 1600 BCE with a 95% degree of probability.
(BE AWARE THAT EVIDENCE FOR MY THEORY WILL BE SKANT DUE TO THE FACT MANY RESEARCHERS/ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN THIS FIELD WILL BE CHRISTIANS AND WILL NOT WANT TO RELEASE INFORMATION THAT THREATENS THE RELIGION. IT'S POSSIBLE THIS ARTICLE WAS PULLED DUE TO REALISING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE INFORMATION.)
'The Ipuwer Papyrus is a single papyrus holding an ancient Egyptian poem. The Ipuwer Papyrus describes Egypt as afflicted by natural disasters and in a state of chaos, a topsy-turvy world where the poor have become rich, and the rich poor, and warfare, famine and death are everywhere. One symptom of this collapse of order is the lament that servants are leaving their servitude and acting rebelliously. The dating of the original composition of the poem is disputed, but several scholars have suggested a date between the late 6th dynasty and the Second Intermediate Period (ca. 1850 BCE-1600 BCE)'
Correlation between Exodus and Ipuwar Papyrus...
