Archaeological Evidence for Sodom and Gomorrah Archaeological findings at Tall el-Hammam in the Jordan Valley suggest it may be the biblical city of Sodom. Excavations reveal a sudden Bronze Age destruction around 1700 BCE, with ash layers, melted pottery, and extreme heat damage. The city was then abandoned for centuries, closely matching Genesis 19, which describes Sodom and Gomorrah being destroyed by fire and sulfur. | Fridean D Shira

The debate over Sodom and Gomorrah sits at the cutting edge of biblical archaeology. Excavations at Tell el-Hammam present one of the only sites in the region with evidence that aligns with ancient descriptions of the “cities of the plain.” Yet most scholars still dismiss the narrative as myth. When archaeology, geology, and ancient texts converge, the question is no longer whether the story was told... but whether it was remembered. | Cosmic Summit
