'Tal El Hamam' - The Biblical City of Sodom

In september, a paper called a tungusca sized airburst destroyed tal el hamam. The middle bronze age city in the jordan valley near the dead sea. There have been multiple twitter threads by physicists, bio archaeologists and other experts questioning or criticising various aspects of this paper. This is part too, of our autumn instalment of unearthed. We are going to kick off with things that were interesting but hard to categorize so i threw them together and called it popery. And popery starts with controversy. To day.
