Researchers have been studying the site of Tall el-Hammam, a ancient city in Jordan that is believed by some to be the biblical city of Sodom. Using advanced technologies such as radiocarbon dating and geophysical surveys, the scientists have uncovered evidence of a catastrophic event that occurred around 1650 BCE, which is consistent with the time period described in the biblical account of Sodom's destruction.

The research suggests that a large meteor exploded over the city, causing a massive shockwave and fireball that would have been capable of leveling the city and killing its inhabitants. The scientists point to evidence of melted metal and glass, as well as a layer of debris that is rich in shocked quartz, which is often formed by the intense pressure and heat generated by a meteor impact. While the discovery is not definitive proof that Tall el
