Possible Site of Ancient Sodom is "Monstrous": Had a "Monumental Gateway Complex""The site is monstrous... I concluded that if one wanted to find Sodom, then one should look for the largest city on the eastern Kikkar [the disc of Jordan] that existed during the Middle Bronze Age, the time of Abraham and Lot." –Dr. Steven Collins
Said Collins, "I began to read Genesis 13-19, and realized that the traditional site did not align itself with the geographical profile described in the text. Many scholars," he added, "don't have a high view of Scripture. Some even frown upon using Biblical texts as a tool for location designation. My philosophy is that the text is generally reliable and can-and should-be used (at bare minimum) as a basic guide for a geographical profile." So far Collins' Biblical theory is paying off.
The report also notes that the city's "Bronze Age heyday seems to have... come to a sudden, inexplicable end... and the ancient city became a relative wasteland for 700 years, for the most part void of human habitation." Read more by clicking here.

A recent issue of Popular Archaeology states: "Having completed the tenth season of excavations, an archaeological team headed by Steven Collins of Trinity Southwest University, New Mexico, has unearthed a goldmine of ancient monumental structures and artifacts that are revealing a massive Bronze Age city-state that dominated the region of Jordan's southern Jordan Valley, even during a time when many other great cities of the "Holy Land" region were either abandoned or in serious decline.
