At Tall el Hammam (Jordan) in Jordan, researchers modeling an airburst event found that temperatures of 10,000-20,000 degrees could have sterilized the area and melted mudbricks and ground material, all without leaving a crater. Some archaeologists identify this site as the ancient city of Sodom. Fascinating intersection of cosmic event modeling and Bronze Age archaeology! 🏺
