Gen 13 and 18 tells the story about Abraham and Lot, their seperation and Lot living in Sodom. Acording to most biblical historians Abraham was born about 1950 BC and it was around 1850 BC when Lot departed Sodom before it turned into flames.
There is one big problem. Acording to archaeological evidence the town of Sodom had people living in it from about 3500 BC down to 2300 BC when it burned down. During the time that Lot lived in Sodom in 1850 BC no body was living in Sodom, it was a completely dead town. It was a dead town clear down to the time when the Romans lived there.
How is it that Lot was to have lived in a town that had no people in it during this time of Lots life and people had not lived there for about 500 years??? From the evience it sounds like the story of Lot in Sodom is not true. What is your opinion?
