As the inhabitants of an ancient Middle Eastern city now called Tall el-Hammam went about their daily business one day about 3,600 years ago, they had no idea an unseen icy space rock was speeding toward them at about 38,000 mph (61,000 kph).

Flashing through the atmosphere, the rock exploded in a massive fireball about 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) above the ground. The blast was around 1,000 times more powerful than the Hiroshima atomic bomb. The shocked city dwellers who stared at it were blinded instantly. Air temperatures rapidly rose above 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius). Clothing and wood immediately burst into flames. Swords, spears, mudbricks and pottery began to melt. Almost immediately, the entire city was on fire

Some seconds later, a massive shockwave smashed into the city. Moving at about 740 mph (1,200 kph), it was more powerful than the worst tornado ever recorded. The deadly winds ripped through the city, demolishing every building. They sheared off the top 40 feet (12 m) of the 4-story palace and blew the jumbled debris into the next valley. None of the 8,000 people or any animals within the city survived – their bodies were torn apart and their bones blasted into small fragments.

About a minute later, 14 miles (22 km) to the west of Tall el-Hammam, winds from the blast hit the biblical city of Jericho. Jericho’s walls came tumbling down and the city burned to the ground.

The Ancient Astronaut Hypothesis claims that numerous Ancient Sumerian Texts uncovered to date such as the Erra Epos and Lamentations Of Ur record in vivid detail an Anunnaki Nuclear War in which Nuclear Weapons were deployed by the Anunnaki Ancient Astronaut Gods in order to destroy the Anunnaki Alien Spaceport in the Sinai Peninsula so as to prevent its seizure and control by the Anunnaki God Marduk during the Factional Anunnaki Ancient Astronaut Wars.
At the heart of the dispute which led to the Anunnaki Alien Nuclear War between the Anunnaki Gods was the ongoing rivalry for control of Earth between Anunnaki Ancient Astronaut Gods, Enki and Enlil which would lead to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as well as the entire Sumerian Civilization itself.
The battle for control of the Earth between the Anunnaki Alien Gods Enki and Enlil which would result in the Anunnaki Alien Nuclear War in Sumer began in the earliest years of Anunnaki Settlement.
The Anunnaki Nuclear War has its origins in the disagreement between the Anunnaki Alien Gods over whether the ‘Adam’ Prototype they had created using Enki’s expertise in Genetics by merging Anunnaki Alien DNA with that of a Hominid found on the African Plains should be able to reproduce.
Anunnaki God Enki defied his Half-Brother Enlil’s directive preventing the Anunnaki Ancient Astronaut Genetics Team from conducting any further Genetic Experiments that would make the ‘Adam Prototype’ capable of independent Biological reproduction outside the control of the Anunnaki research Labs so the numbers of Human beings could be more easily controlled by the Anunnaki.
This Anunnaki dispute over the role of Humans would set off a chain of events and an inter-Generational Rivalry that led to an Alien Nuclear War and the destruction of not only Sodom and Gommorah, but the majority of the entire Sumerian Civilization the Anunnaki Ancient Astronauts had strived to establish on Earth since their arrival.

Read the Bible for the true story.

Read the book of Enoch that use to be in the bible......among others.

Gods judgement can be blunt.
