Archeology 201 Guidelines
If Indiana Jones happened to be a member of Tweb, this is where he'd hang out.
Welcome to the Archeology forum. Were you out doing some gardening and dug up a relic from the distant past? would you like to know more about Ancient Egypt? Did you think Memphis was actually a city in Tennessee?
Well, for the answers to those and other burning questions you've found the right digs.
Our forum rules apply here too, if you haven't read them now is the time.

he archaeologist who wrote the article is not "my guy" and secondly the survey confirms an asteroid strike on an ancient city. There is no sign telling us "Here Lie the Ruins of Sodom"
If it was an unnamed ancient city then that should have been the title of the thread. Not your editorializing on what city it might have been.

Near as I can tell, the detail puts it in the right location for Sodom or Gomorrah (not much to go on really, just that they were not far from the dead sea).
A second city would need to be found that had suffered a similar (or near similar) fate in the same time frame to clinch it. That, or perhaps a sign saying "Welcome to Sodom" or some-such.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

I have always thought that anything before Moses was questionable.
In contrast, the Mesopotamian-derived histories use names with cognates we can follow back to their origins thousands of years earlier. More evidence in line with my working theory, that the Israelite exit from Egypt was actually an Egyptian exit from the lands of Israel, part of the general Mediterranean collapse of the 13th century BCE. The flood story is Mesopotamian. Tammuz, for whom the ancient Israelites wept, derives from the Akkadian Tammuzi, which comes from Dumuzid, the fifth antediluvian king in the ancient Sumerian King List.
The Mesopotamian-derived histories are far more robust, with a continuity that goes back more than a thousand years earlier than the Egyptian-derived histories.

Of course nothing of the same magnitude as the last.
Since maths is of tha debil, I expected more of a backlash when you messed up your incantation there. You know. Like what happens when one of ya'll try to divide by zero
I mean SOMETHING shoulda happened. Irrational numbers suddenly became rational. Imaginary numbers became real. Something.

Come on, ask me a hard one, like how to make a transcendental number rational.
