Ruins of Sodom & Gomorrah Found

by Marshall Beeber

An Introduction

"Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.." Genesis 19:24, 25 KJV)

Biblical archaeologist, Ron Wyatt discovered the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah southeast of the Dead Sea in 1989.  These devastated Mesopotamian style cities were covered with millions of partially incinerated sulfur balls and tons of ash.  Clearly defined walls, some thirty to forty feet high can be found among the ruins.

Evidence of heat exceeding 4000 degrees Fahrenheit can be seen in the rock strata and ruins throughout the cities.  Comparable destruction can also be found at the epicenters of nuclear detonations.

Such evidence validates the accuracy of the Hebrew Scriptures, and again shatters secular attempts to "mythologize" this ancient catastrophe.

While some archaeologists consider Ron Wyatt's accomplishments to be nothing but fraud and sensationalism, many have examined the evidence and perceive the truth beyond the personalities and  politics of the profession.
