I interviewed a guy called peter about 4 years ago who volunteered on this dig for a few weeks. He told me that the city was destroyed by an airburst meteorite which he described as an atomic bomb without the radiation. He said the smell of the ash layer was unforgettable. There was rocket fire going on all the time while they were digging just a few miles away at Jordans border. . And the most treasured thing they uncovered was a baby who had died who had been buried in a type of pot/jar. It must've been quite a heart affecting discovery, he spoke of it with much feeling. It's one of the most interesting conversations I've ever had, I was hanging off every word. I'll never forget it. If this interview doesn't leave you awestruck over God, I dont know what will.

Dr. Collins is indeed knows how to tell a story - he makes me want to read the book!

So amazing! Just studied this biblical story with my Bible study group! Thank you so much for sharing your unbelievable discovery. Such an interesting program!!

I decided to listen to this Socrates on a whim. Great guest Eric & very interesting subject. Love to see the power of God displayed in nature. Thanks for walking us through this so thoroughly. It must be a thrill holding something like that "Trinitite" in your hand & even being there where this happened! God reveals Himself in the most amazing places.

I had no idea, thank you for sharing this. How wonderful a discovery!

I feel like the main takeaway of this story is the authority of scripture. Particularly Genesis. The original locations were wrong and the commentary he spoke of because they started with an authority outside of the text. I encourage to go and read the first chapters of Genesis then go to Answers in Genesis and/or listen to some talks from Ken Hamm about the authority of scripture and having a Biblical world view when looking at these things. Thanks for posting this!

Absolutely mindblowing ! I have been following their channel (I think Appian Media) for a while.

That was astounding! Thank you!

Excellent interview! Thank you Eric! :)

I have to get this book, I'm not that smart,but anything to do with God am in, I love this. It's awesome, and how cool,there's evidence to prove the Bible text is fact it's great ammo for me in witness, thank you so much, shout out to stephen Gardner interview I'd never would of found it, and love the laughter and personality's!

In the words of Spock, "fascinating". From the discussion, the geological and archaeological evidence confirm something like a meteoric impact event that occurred at the city of ancient Sodom that leveled the entire geographic area. Cannot confirm for sure whether the forces unleashed where natural or supernatural in origin but likely a combination of both. At least, that's my take on this incredible archaeological discovery.

Very interesting. I'm just wondering though, if Sodom was destroyed by a huge burst like that, how did Lot get far enough away fast enough to not be flattened? He and his daughters were just on foot and it sounds like the destruction came right away after they'd left the city. And why didn't Abraham hear a huge explosion or see a burst of blinding light? In the Bible it just says he got up and saw smoke rising from the area so he knew that it had been destroyed.

i've seen the guys who have found the sulfer balls there, at the same sites i presume..i always love socrates

As a Muslim it’s amazing to hear the story of this discovery and how it aligns with both of our teachings (the Quran speaks about Sodom and how God sent angels to destroy the nation due to the transgressions and the refusal to listen to Prophet Lot. The Quran says god sent down stones that were baked and every single one had the name of every resident engraved and the nation was lifted and turned upside down and slammed back to the earth. It also says we have left there remains as a warning to future generations.) this find is truly historic.

Thank you. Fascinating. I have been thinking about Sodom a lot lately due to the dire straits that the world is in as regards sin and the darkness that has cloaked mankind. I would love to ask Dr Collins what he thinks of the destruction of biblical sites occurring in the Holy Land and in particular in Gaza but also in Jerusalem. Add to that the Arab countries where many holy sites are found& that America's bombed ruthlessly over the decades. Following October 7th, but way before things turned absolutely genocidal, I kept saying something that no one else said which is that it was beyond evil to render the destruction of the land; the land that is Holy; the land is that sacred. HOW dare we bomb it to smithereens. Tear it up and destroy it because it, as human beings, was made by God & is sacred, especially this earth in the Holy Land. What does he think? Dr Collins brought together the holy book with the evidence the land rendered to him & I'm wondering if people feel that God sent that asteroid to destroy Sodom or whether nature has its own intelligence & sought out Somon and destroyed it because of its wicked ways? In either case, I surely hope an astroid seeks out the location of the government of the zionist state and destroys it so we can return to a Holy Land of three faiths where people live in peace and harmony. Thecdecadence of that era pales in comparison to what is occurring now in the genocidal zionist state enabled by AI. I want to thank Dr Collins for remembering to ask mother earth for her secrets and then later thanking her. True class & true faith & true wisdom come together in one humble man. Thank you

Did you watch the video? Since you didn't, I'll tell you what actually happened. At 45:17 he specifically said 20,000-30,000 °F underneath the tower where the atomic bomb was tested (not the temperature to produce trinitite) At 52:31 he said the surface of the sun is 5,000 °F (no idea what video you was watching to get 27,000-54,000 °F ??) He backs up both the melting and boiling point in the video he said 15,000-30,000 °C for the temperature at the surface of the pottery for trinitite to form 1/8'' away from the surface. Stop pulling numbers out from all over the video and labelling them with the wrong actions. You didnt listen to the video or didnt like what you heard so you thought you would try to disprove him and his works by making it seem like he doesn't know what he's talking about. The irony.

Since the Bible refers to God destroying the cities of Sodom & Gomorrah because there could not even be 10 good men found in the cities, actually finding the remnants of it pretty much proves the story is true. You people always try to discredit every story relayed in the Bible for lack of "evidence." Now, here's evidence. So, obviously, you just refuse to open your eyes. God mention "those with ears to hear and eyes to see," but it doesn't sound like you'll make it into that group.
