Could they be buried at the bottom of the Dead Sea?
"
And Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the plain
of Jordan, there it was well watered everywhere, before
the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, . . . ." —Genesis
13:10
This compelling NBC prime-time special, featuring scholar
Mike Sanders, leads us on an unprecedented exploration
to the depths of the salty Dead Sea in the same Delta
mini-submarine used to explore the wreck of the liner
Lusitania. The viewer almost becomes part of the team
in energetic search for evidence of the location of
the ancient Biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
To some skeptics the Biblical tale of the two "sin
cities" is metaphorical, but Sanders’ belief — possibly
supported by new evidence derived from NASA satellite
photography showing anomalies on the floor of the Dead
Sea — is that the cities not only existed, but
their location might be found today. It took
years of negotiations for Sanders to obtain clearance
from the Israel army, the Jordanians and the Palestinians
to search for the ruins at one of the most tension-packed
places on earth. However, limited access was permitted,
and we join the dive to the sea floor to uncover some
compelling evidence buried in the salt. The search
is still not over but the initial evidence that the
program presents could mark a critical step forward.
