Glad to see you are making some exciting...Hi David,<br />Glad to see you are making some exciting discoveries! I'm doing applied theology in Dublin at the Irish Bible Institute and am in the middle of an assignment at the moment. The requirement is to undertake a study on a region of geographical and archaeological significance in the Ancient Near East focusing especially on how the physical environment of that region played a role in biblical events that transpired there. I saw a BBC documentary on Sodom and Gomorrah a few months ago and thought that it would be a great idea to do my report based on their location. Baaaaaaaaaad idea!!! I had no idea there were so many different theories as to their whereabouts!! Anyway I have spent a longer time than I should have on actually trying to decide where I should say they are located. I am having to generalise more than I would like on the details I am writing in my report because of a lack of concrete information. I have to say though that I am really liking the whole Tall-el Hammam idea! It's a pity I'm not doing this project in a year's time when there is bound to be more information from your work out there. If I was to ask you and your fellow-workers what makes you think that Tall el-Hammam is the location of Sodom then what would your answer be? Just a few insights from the heart of the action would be very much appreciated :)<br />P.S. The assignment is due in next Tuesday ..... no pressure like!! :D<br /><br />Even if you don't get round to answering I will look forward to checking up on the findings of the excavation out there in the near future. Hope you all have a great time!<br />God Bless,<br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
