They found the remains of 2 cities in close proximity to one another along the shores of the dead sea. It's quite probable that these are the cities could be Sodom and Gomorrah, however nobody knows for sure. Let me stress that a finding like this supports that these places existed... nothing more.
As to the demise of these cities, it is thought that they either fell due to earthquakes, military siege, or a combination of the two. The person who said they found "balls of sulfur" is incorrect, they found no such thing. They DID find evidence of fires, but as we all know, you don't need magic from the sky to start a massive fire.

These two towns are supposdly in the salt sea. as this sea slowly dries up over the years, i suspect that more and more supporting evidence of their location, etc, will surface as well.

Yes, and not only that but they found balls of sulfur and ash, indicating that something fell from the sky causing the cities' destruction.
