[Avodah] Sodom and Amorah?

[Micha Berger]

I recently read an article on Jordan. Among the tidbits mentioned were
that at Babh edh-Dhra there are remains of a city destroyed in 2300 BCE
or so, covered in a layer of ash and sulfer. It's at a fault-line,
a sulferous cloud could easily by released by a minor earthquake.

Also in the Yam haMelakh valley mei'ever laYardein are similar sites 
at Numeira, es-Safi, Feifeh and Khanazir

Is it likely Lot crossed the Yardein? How does it work with the land
granted in beris Avraham vs that claimed by the 2-1/2 shevatim?

:-)BBii!
