What is the present Sodom and Gomorrah?

Question

From Genesis,it says that Egypt, Ur of Chaldea and Sodom Gomorrah forms a triangle that surrounds Canaan. Ur is Iraq, so where is Sodom and Gomorrah located today?

Answer 1

Well, they were destroyed, so we don't have a current exact location for the cities anymore. Recently some archaeologists have made some interesting finds though and the debate continues as to whether or not they have found the real cities (or what's left of them). Here are some links to get you started on your research:

I'd also recommend going to the library to get some back issues of BAR (Biblical Archaeological Review) it's a great magazine that discusses archaeological issues like this. Hope this helped!
