Archeologist explains why he believes he discovered Biblical city of Sodom

“There’s so much specific information about the location of these cities that you would practically have to be blind & illiterate not to be able to find the location"

Newsroom July 12 06:50

An archeologist who believes the Biblical city of Sodom was located at a site in Jordan recently explained his view in a fascinating interview.

Dr. Steven Collins, Trinity Southwest University’s Executive Dean, explained to Joel Rosenberg, host of The Rosenberg Report, why he believes Sodom — which, along with Gomorrah, was destroyed by God with fire and brimstone because of its wickedness — is actually located at Tell el-Hammam in Jordan, as opposed to the more popular view that Sodom was located at a site near the south of the Dead Sea.

“There’s so much specific information about the location of these cities that you would practically have to be blind and illiterate not to be able to find the location of Sodom because there are at least 25 known pieces of geography [in scripture] that you can triangulate between to take you to the city of Sodom,” Collins told Rosenberg in an interview that aired last month.
