Excavating experts in the Tall el Hammam area , Jordan believed that the rest of a 'strange' city of the Bronze Age had signs consistent with Bible descriptions of a city. destroyed by God.

Not only because the ruins here show it to be the largest city in the region, but also because the evidence found is consistent with what the Bible wrote - located east of the Jordan River, exporting currently in the period from 3500 to 1540 BC and is believed to be suddenly destroyed.

Much of the information about the city of Sodom and Gomorah is in the Book of Genesis. These two sites were two kingdoms located on the Jordan River Delta, north of the present Dead Sea, and described in the Bible as rich, green and irrigated areas. .

In particular, Sodom is one of the largest cities in the east of Jordan mentioned throughout the Book of Genesis and the New Testament. It is described as being on an important trade route, and due to the large area of ​​the area, it is described as solidly built with towers and tall and thick walls.

According to the Bible, Sodom was destroyed by God after the angels could not find the right man here.

Experts also compared this city with other cities in the region at Tall el-Hamaam, which appeared during the period from 3500 to 1540 BC. This is said to be the largest city in the region - about 5-10 times bigger than other cities in this land - so this city is obviously the best choice.

Dr. Steven Collins of Trinity Southwestern University in New Mexico, the project leader shared with Popular Archeology that this is a "very strange" city compared to other cities in the region that appeared during that period.

Before excavations were conducted in 2005, there was little information about the Bronze Age in the southern Jordan Valley area. But the traces of this huge city have shown that each has a complex society that exists here.

Steven's group said they found evidence of the city being expanded and protected by thick walls and ramparts, including a wall of 5.2 meters thick and 10 meters high. This wall has many gates, watchtowers and at least one road.

Some pieces of pottery were found in this area in February (Photo: Facebook).

Researchers also found rocks that were cut around the area and thought they were used for cooking (Photo: Facebook).

During the period between the Bronze Age, the upper wall was replaced by a giant wall, 7 meters wide, with a flat peak and doubling the detour around the city.

Another official reinforces the belief that the area found in Tall el-Hamaam, the city of Sodom, was destroyed by God, that the area was suddenly abandoned at the end of the middle period. Bronze Age.

'What we find is an important city, a big city that hasn't been discovered by any scientist before we start our project. Tall el-Hamaam fits the land described, where the city of Sodom used to exist, according to the Bible, is the largest city of the fertile plain east of Kikkar ".

"So I think if someone wants to find the city of Sodom, they should look for the largest city that ever existed in this area during the Bronze Age, under Abraham's time. When we excavated this area. , Tall el-Hamaam is an obvious choice because it is 5-10 times larger than other cities in this area during the Bronze Age, ' Steven said.

According to the expert, scientists have little information about the Bronze Age in the southern part of the Jordan River Valley because most of the archaeological maps here are empty.

It was abandoned for more than 700 years and then began to thrive again, with evidence of large iron gates leading into the city.

This conclusion was made when researchers found here some artifacts from the end of this period compared to other places in the region.

The destruction of the city of Sodom with Gomorrah is recorded in the Bible, including the Book of Genesis, the New Testament and even in the Koran.

The story of the Old Testament tells how God used fire and sulfur to destroy 'evil sins' in Sodom but allowed only a good man to flee with his family.

It is known that the ruins of the city show a thick rampart system, probably built from millions of bricks and need hundreds of workers to complete. This shows that from that period there was the development of technology and strict social organization. Archaeologists also find evidence that this ruined city once had gates, towers, a main road and squares.

According to Dr. Steven, it is likely that the city was destroyed after an earthquake at the end of the Bronze Age. But many other experts believe that meteorites have fallen and destroyed this city.

Later, this area was abandoned for 7 centuries. Based on the great iron gate found, scientists concluded that the city was rebuilt in the Iron Age, between BC 1000 - 332.
