"The Trace of the City of Sodom Destroyed by Allah"

"Allah is angry at the disobedience of the people of Prophet Lut who worship idols, commit adultery, and engage in same-sex relationships."

Dream - Sodom. This is the city that disappeared "swallowed" by the Earth. The region believed to be the place of the civilization of the Prophet Lut AS vanished due to a terrible disaster. In the Quran, it is mentioned that Allah was angry with the disobedience of the people of Prophet Lut. Besides worshiping idols, they committed adultery and engaged in homosexuality. These sins made Allah angry. The city was then "overturned". Destroyed. After thousands of years, scientists searched for the lost city. Since 2005, they have been excavating in Tall el-Hammam, Jordan. The area east of the Jordan River is believed to be the location of the ruins of the cursed city of Sodom.

"Then when Our punishment came, We turned the land of the people of Lut upside down, and We rained upon them a shower of burning stones continuously."

Surah Hud Verse 82]

The Trace of the City of Sodom Destroyed by Allah

The scientists believe that the city of Sodom and also Goromah are located in the valley of the Jordan River, north of the Dead Sea. Sodom is believed to be a great and prosperous city, and was a center of trade during its heyday.

After the excavation, scientists are very certain that this is where the city of Sodom once stood. In the excavation, they made surprising discoveries.

They found the ruins of a city from the Bronze Age at Tall el-Hammam. This city is believed to be very similar to the Sodom described in the holy book.

The ruins believed to be the city of Sodom are very extensive. It is believed to be the largest city in the region, five to ten times the size of the surrounding cities.

This stone is believed to be the wife of Prophet Lut who received a curse.

Steven Collins, a scientist from Trinity Southwestern University, New Mexico, United States, who led the research, claimed that his team found evidence of an expanded city, equipped with red brick defensive walls measuring 5.2 meters thick and 10 meters high.

This wall is equipped with gates, watchtowers, and at least one road. For researchers, this wall serves as evidence that the city continues to expand and prosper. During the middle Bronze Age, this wall was replaced with a larger fortress. It is 7 meters wide, with a flat top, and functions as a road that encircles the city. From these findings, the team led by Collins is confident that they have discovered the destroyed city of Sodom. These researchers also provide additional evidence to support their belief that Tall el-Hammam suddenly became empty towards the end of the Bronze Age.

"The findings that we discovered are important city-states, significant city-states, for all practical purposes, unknown to researchers before we began our project," said Collins.

Tall el-Hammam, added Collins, corresponds to Sodom in the holy scriptures, as the largest and most fertile city in the eastern Kikkar. "Therefore, I conclude that whoever wants to find Sodom must search for the largest city in this area during the Bronze Age, in the time of Abraham," he added. According to Collins, they clearly chose Tall el-Hammam as its location. This is because the area is five times larger than other cities during the Bronze Age. "We know very little about the Bronze Age in the southern Jordan Valley. Most archaeological maps of this area are empty," said Collins.

According to him, this area became an uninhabited desert for more than 700 years. But then, the region began to develop again, as evidenced by the presence of a large iron gate leading to the city. Scientists are confident in this discovery. Because they have compared these findings with the final phase of other settlements in this area. Leading archaeologist Collins believes that this area is the best candidate for the lost city of Sodom.

"\u201cTall el-Hammam precisely meets every criterion of Sodom mentioned in the book,\u201d said Collins. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is narrated in several books. Besides the Quran, other religious books also tell its story."

Is that Sodom?

Is the city that was found truly Sodom? Even if this discovery is not the city of Sodom mentioned in the scriptures, scientists say that this finding is still very important as it indicates a very large city.
