Biblical Sodom Unearthed?

Biblical Sodom Unearthed? April 14, 2014

An article in World News Daily suggests that archaeologists may have uncovered the Biblical city of Sodom.

Apparently the city was destroyed by fire and brimstone, and archaeological excavations show that all of the family tombs in the city belonged to same-sex couples who were dressed in fabulous clothing with no clashing colors. This would fit well with conservative Christian depictions of ancient Sodom, although those depictions only begin to appear much later and are viewed with suspicion by many archaeologists.

Although no pillar of salt has yet been uncovered, archaeologists have suggested that this can be explained in terms of the use of the remnants of Mrs. Lot as a condiment on food in the years following the city’s destruction.
