Where’s Sodom?:
“As the inhabitants of an ancient Middle Eastern city now called Tall el-Hammam went about their daily business one day about 3,600 years ago (1650 BCE), they had no idea an unseen icy space rock was speeding toward them at about 38,000 mph (61,000 kph). Flashing through the atmosphere, the rock exploded in a massive fireball about 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) above the ground. The blast was around 1,000 times more powerful than the Hiroshima atomic bomb. The shocked city dwellers who stared at it were blinded instantly. Air temperatures rapidly rose above 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius). Clothing and wood immediately burst into flames. Swords, spears, mudbricks, and pottery began to melt. Almost immediately, the entire city was on fire.
Some seconds later, a massive shockwave smashed into the city. Moving at about 740 mph (1,200 kph), it was more powerful than the worst tornado ever recorded. The deadly winds ripped through the city, demolishing every building. They sheared off the top 40 feet (12 m) of the four-story palace and blew the jumbled debris into the next valley. None of the 8,000 people or any animals within the city survived—their bodies were torn apart and their bones blasted into small fragments. About a minute later, 14 miles (22 km) to the west of Tall el-Hammam, winds from the blast hit the biblical city of Jericho. Jericho’s walls came tumbling down and the city burned to the ground…”

Note: The fireball air burst that shook the region around Sodom in 1650BCE preceded the Santorini eruption of 1646 BCE by just four years. This unique timing and the interconnectedness of the fault lines between the two relatively close locations tells me that the shock waves of the huge fireball air burst triggered the eruption that was already getting closer and closer.
Note: Fireballs such as the above and asteroids like the one that finished off the dinosaurs may be called ‘acts of God’, but events such as Hiroshima, etcetera are not — and neither is pollution fueled global climate change.
Another similar fireball event occurred 12,800 years ago in present day Syria. Rather than ascribe too much meaning to this, we should remember that during a ten thousand year time period an innumerable number of fireball airbursts would have struck all around the world. The only reason we can prove that one struck here is because the Abu Hureya Tell preserved the evidence, just as was preserved at the Tell where Sodom was eventually uncovered by archaeologists.

However, we should note that this particular cosmic impact was one of many associated with a cluster of impacts called the Younger Dryas Impact Event that triggered climate upheaval and extinctions.
