Somewhere along the way I found the Wyatt pics of natural formations which he calls city walls, altars, sphinx, and whatnot. Fits his usual pattern.

Thanks! Back in the 1950s, an evangelist who befriended the late King Hussein of Jordan did some (risky) diving in the Dead Sea, in the southern, shallow part which has since dried up anyway. He found very, very little, but still wrote a book about it. Somewhere I have the abridged version, which is something like 500 pages.
Neat.
I’ve heard/read/imagined that the Black Sea has some pretty impressive stuff under the waterline too.
I’d love to know the title of that book.
And a human sized salt lick.
I have an old National Geographic story where a man went to the Empty Quarter to find a meteorite that had been reported way out in the desert. They found it, a very large chunk of metal at least 4 feet square, and slightly less thick. To big to bring back anything but the photos. At any rate the story was that it was from a great destruction done to a city for its sinfulness. I think the site is called Wabar or Wahbar. I checked it out a while ago, but it was thought only to be a few hundred years old. What I wonder is if the Empty Quarter in Saudi Arabia may have been caused by a very large boloid event of which Sodom and Gammora may have been just a part.
