We had already reported on this earlier, but it is back in the news again.

In a June interview with the Rosenberg Report, Steven Collins, an archaeologist with Trinity Southwest University, says his team has found the remains of the ancient city of Sodom or possibly Gomorrah, the Daily Caller reports.

According to the Biblical record, Sodom and its sister city Gomorrah were destroyed by God in a fiery blaze as sulfur and fire poured down from heaven.

In his interview, Collins stated the site known as Tell el-Hammam is not only in the area where the Bible says the two cities were located, but they also discovered many indicators that the city was destroyed instantaneously through what Collins described as a “‘flash heat’ situation.”

The Daily Caller provides more details:

“As soon as we get a few centimeters into that [Bronze Age] matrix, this piece of pottery, the shoulder of a storage jar, is facing up at us. And it looks like it’s glazed,” Collins told Rosenberg. Another member of Collins’ team remarked that the scars looked similar to those witnessed at the Trinity nuclear test site in New Mexico where the first atomic bomb was detonated.

Previous reports on the site suggest that the site was decimated by a meteor-impact some 4,000-years-ago. This cataclysm has yet to be confirmed, but evidence shows a “charcoal-rich destruction layer” and a series of melted objects, according to a study published in Nature.

The study suggested that the site was “wiped out in the blink of an eye,” Collins noted.
