   There is a buzz over the recently announced theory that the story of Sodom   
   may have been inspired by the destruction of the ancient settlement of Tall   
   el-Hammam by a Tunguska-like event:

   I'd want to see more evidence from nearby excavations, but it definitely   
   sounds worth exploring.   
      
   One thing I'm wondering about is that Tunguska doesn't seem to have shown   
   exactly the same kind of destruction, but I could easily be missing   
   something.
