Scientists have found the reason for the destruction of ancient cities

It turned out that the colonies were destroyed because of a meteorite.

Earlier on the northern coast of the Dead Sea, there were five more towns, but by the end of the Bronze Age, a large-scale disaster has destroyed settlements in the territory of Jordan modern. The experts only determined what killed people.

Ten years ago, scientists found the cuneiform king in the ruins of Nineveh, where it was noted the existence of some cities such as Sodom and Gomorrah. In the end, the settlements swept the surface of the earth with a meteorite. It happened 4000 years ago and the new city was built only six centuries ago.

The news of the new discoveries was published by experts from southwestern Trinity University (Albuquerque) in the publication "Science News". The scientists made a radiocarbon dating of the rock, which clearly showed that all the mud houses had been demolished in an instant. This can only happen when exposed to high temperatures. The only possible scenario – the fall of the meteorite.

By the way, in the Old Testament, Sodom and Gommory destroyed the rain of fire and sulfur. Supposedly, God provoked a disaster for the many sins of the inhabitants of these cities.
