I don't know, though.
And what city in that environment ever thrived without trade? They really couldn't have that impression... unless this "God" did far more than destroy one city. He would have had to smite all who approached to give them that impression. The entire story is extraordinarily unrealistic. It even has the nerve to suggest that this entire CITY was lining up to have sex with angels... that is beyond idiotic. The crowd would have circled the house from all directions... Lot could not have escaped. This is every man in the city coming out of their houses specifically to rape 2 individuals... that's a lot of men wanting to fuck these angels... and lot of men being left out.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
