History:
Sodom and Gomorrah, notoriously sinful cities in the biblical book of Genesis, destroyed by "sulfur and fire" because of their wickedness. Sodom and Gomorrah along with the cities of Admah, Zeboiim, and Zoar constituted the five "cities of the plain", and they are referenced throughout both the Old and New Testaments and the Qur'an.
Sodom and Gomorrah are possibly located under or adjacent to the shallow waters south of Al-Lisan, a former peninsula in the central part of the Dead Sea in Israel that now fully separates the sea's northern and southern basins. They presumably were devastated about 1900 bce by an earthquake in the Dead Sea area of the East African Rift System, an extensive geologic rift extending southward from the Jordan River valley in Israel to the Zambezi River system in eastern Africa.
Archaeological evidence indicates that the area was once fertile, in the Middle Bronze Age (c. 2000-1500 bce), with fresh water flowing into the Dead Sea in sufficient amounts to sustain agriculture. Because of the fertile land, Lot selected the area of the cities of the Valley of Siddim (the Salt Sea, or Dead Sea) to graze his flocks. When the catastrophic destruction occurred, the petroleum and gases existing in the area probably contributed to the imagery of "brimstone and fire" that accompanied the geological upheaval that destroyed the cities. Har Sedom, or Mount Sodom, at the southwestern end of the sea, reflects Sodom's name. The present-day industrial site of Sedom, Israel, on the Dead Sea shore, is located near the presumed site of Sodom and Gomorrah.
