A team of archaeologists have uncovered the mystery behind the disaster at the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah. According to bible scholars, the two adulterous cities were struck by fire which burnt with sulphur, sent by God due to the obnoxious and unrepentant nature of the occupants.

A report published in Nature Scientific Reports however has revealed that what took place at Tall Al Hammam (or Tell el Hammam) which has been identified by scientists to be the Sodom in the Bible was caused by a space rock that exploded over the city creating an airburst.

Findings have recently surfaced after fifteen years of painstaking excavation as lots of excavated artefacts have been put to thorough analyses by experts in USA, Canada and the Czech Republic.

The team uncovered a five foot layer of charcoal, ash, melted bricks and pottery. Using Online Impact Calculator, a technology which allows researchers to estimate the many details of a cosmic impact event based on known impact events and nuclear detonations, the scientists concluded that the culprit at Sodom was a small asteroid similar to the one that knocked down 80 million trees in Tunguska, Russia in 1908 exploded over the city. Those same asteroids are believed to be responsible for the extinction of dinosaurs over 65 million years ago.

Na wa ooo. What do I even know.
