I’ve read where some think the evidence points to a comet hitting (above link), or another where a meteor grazed the top of the alps. Such an event would cover a large zone of effect (not just a city), and could/would account for similar findings in nearby areas.
The above link mentions the Bible verses, and says Lot saw destruction of “all the land of the plain”.

Collins is a phony!
He collects donations to search for what has never been lost.
Religious scammery is a plague on us.

Are comets made of sulfur?
Get real.
.
The remains of the five cities have been visible from the air since flying was invented. The outlines of the buildings show up well.
Strong words. Do you even know Dr. Collins? Does your archaeological pedigree surpass him?
It's a little more complicated, though, if it's a natural parent who's gay. Or a single gay relative (family kin) adoption. Novelist Walker Percy and his two brothers were all three adopted when they were half-grown boys, by their cousin William Alexander Percy ("Uncle Will") and he apparently did a very good job raising them. Though he was homosexual, he was not, however "openly gay." He was simply a bachelor, didn't have any homosexual vice going on inside the household.
The most dangerous threat a child can face, statistically, is "mom's live-in boyfriend."
It was some unknown type of radiation that flash fried Lot's wife.
I knopw that he pretended to be searching for something that was well known.
Christians are often an easy mark for these scams. Its unfortunate that people don’t read more. They could avoid getting ripped off.
The cities of the dead sea area have been well known since the mid ‘90s, and you can book an aerial tour to see them.
The above talks about sulfur being released from planetary strikes. Both in the form of sulfur from the object, and the object hitting rocks that have sulfur.
I'd be interested in seeing some of the photos you mentioned from the air. I did a quick search and didn't see anything. The movie you linked to previously, the structures might look like buildings, but pretty sure they are just natural rock formations.
And while God can use any mechanism He wishes for a miracle to happen - I think He often uses “natural” phenomena which He can control if He so desires.
.
It was turning back to the city that got Lot’s wife killed with the rest.
They had been called out of the city by the angels, and she disobeyed. A sulfur rain storm will cook you well.
Stories about radiation are nonsense.
Don’t know why this archaeologist had to go to the middle east to find Sodom. All he had to do was look between Virginia and Maryland to find it.
.
Learn some basic Physics and chemistry.
There is no way sulfur could reach the surface of the Earth from above. It would be heated well above the ignition temperature far above the breathable atmosphere. All that would remain is hot sulfur dioxide (a gas).
Why search for the charred remains of a homo city that existed thousands of years ago when you can see for-real live Sodom cities in America; San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, Washington D.C., Boston, etc?
.
There is no rock in the ruins it is all ash.
I was reading Henry Alford’s commentary on Jude, where it mentions the judgment on Sodom. Alford speculated that there must have been something far worse going on there than just homosexuality because homosexuality was common through out the “civilized” world. Either he or someone said they were co-habiting with something different, the “strange” flesh mentioned in Jude.
.
If he told you he was searching for San Francisco, would you believe him?
Amen.
The angels that came for Lot were “strange flesh.”
Would a cow lick lot’s wife?
She turned away and got out of the protection of the angel. Sounds extremely linear in it's destructive ability. A volcano would rain down in a perpendicular fashion. This isn't the Lost Raiders movie, just looking at something does not cause anyone to be ionized, unless it is emitting some form of radiation.
