The glass is semi-identical.
ALL nuclear detonations have a half-life fingerprint indicating the major components of the weapon.
All the glass collected from the location in Egypt have zero of these half-life components.
How about a large meteor strike.
Would have to be on large meteor shower to create that wide an expanse of fairly uniform glass.
Then again, a solar mass ejection or gamma ray burst that did so would also probably have done some other noticable things. Like melt a mountain (range) or two and boil off a chunk of sea and ocean causing massive climate damage that would be apparent in the geological record worldwide. So yeah, meteor shower sounds just as likely...
“And leaves no crater? “
No crater at Tungusta, but lots of scorched trees.
OTOH there was a huge impact at Manon Ohio and there is no visible crater there, now.
OOO good catch!
Or maybe a really big kiln!
That was an airburst. The trees weren't incinerated as they would have been if subjected to a temperature of 3300F.
They had a whole show on the Discovery Channel about the glass in North Africa. Most scientist think it was an air burst explosion likely a comet like was observed in Siberia in early 1900’s. They have done several computer simulations to lend evidence to this. There have been lots of meteorite and comet hits on the earth.
seriously, the evidence for this doesn't exists, however, it is possible that God hit these areas with this type of destruction.
Saddam and Gamora were destroyed by fire.

A couple thousand years in the desert - a small crater would be gone.
temperature increases with pressure. perhaps these sands were beneath a lot of earth/other stuff a logn tiem ago, and migrated to the surface.
i’d buy that long before nuclear explosions in the ages past.
Oh certainly, but the question becomes what mechanism did God use? Spontaneous thermonuclear reaction? Storm of meteors? Kicking our or another sun in the core? Just plain old pure Hellfire? Inquiring minds want to know (or at least play)!
Not to mention with your solar mass ejection or gamma ray burst you would create a likely large scale life sanitizing. With a large scale meteor strike you could get glass projectiles extends hundreds if not thousands of miles while being small enough to maintain life globally. Not to mention the meteor strikes could be simultaneous across the world and the resultant pollution could have created a short ice age as well.

Zatso?
Only true if the craters are from unrelated events. If the impacts were from a pair of asteroids, they could be close together but distinct.
We have observed asteroid pairs orbiting around a common center in their trip around the sun, not unlike a planet and its moons.
Or perhaps a loosely consolidated asteroid or comet was gravitationally torn asunder by a close pass with the Moon on its way to an appointment with the future Libya...
