Bristol University researchers have at last deciphered a clay tablet that has been an enigma for over 150 years. They have concluded it is an eyewitness account of an asteroid destroying the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah just before dawn on June 29th, 3123 B.C.
The tablet is thought to be a 700 B.C. reproduction of the original account, copied from the notes of an ancient Sumerian astronomer.
Their findings are published in the book "A Sumerian Observation of the Köfels Impact Event."
