Sodomma ja Gomorra voitti!!

Tiesitkö, että historiallinen fakta on se, että Sodoman ja Gomorran kaupungit tuhoutuivat yhtä aikaa asteroidin törmäyksessä? Kappale tuhoutui räjähtämällä ilmassa, mutta räjähdys tapahtui niin matalalla, että aavikkokin suli ja yhä edelleen kaupunkien sijaintipaikoilta löytyy vihreitä lasihelmiä jotka tiivistyivät kuumuudessa kun asteroidi räjähti.

Tseljabinskin kaupunki meinasi kokea saman kohtalon, onneksi pääkappale sattui räjähtämään tarpeeksi korkealla, että tuhovoima ei kohdistunut täysivoimaisena maahan ja kaupunkiin.

Using computers to recreate the night sky thousands of years ago, scientists have pinpointed his sighting to shortly before dawn on June 29 in the year 3123 B.C.

About half the symbols on the tablet have survived and half of those refer to the asteroid. The other symbols record the positions of clouds and constellations. In the past 150 years scientists have made five unsuccessful attempts to translate the tablet.

Mark Hempsell, one of the researchers from Bristol University who cracked the tablet's code, said: "It's a wonderful piece of observation, an absolutely perfect piece of science."

He said the size and route of the asteroid meant that it was likely to have crashed into the Austrian Alps at Köfels. As it traveled close to the ground it would have left a trail of destruction from supersonic shock waves and then slammed into the Earth with a cataclysmic impact.

Debris consisting of up to two-thirds of the asteroid would have been hurled back along its route and a flash reaching temperatures of 400 Centigrade (752 Fahrenheit) would have been created, killing anyone in its path.

About one million sq kilometers (386,000 sq miles) would have been devastated and the impact would have been equivalent to more than 1,000 tons of TNT exploding.
