Indirect though. Nothing significant for quite a few years.....One word:
Butterflies.
Something would probably replace them though... the message:"sin and your city will be burnt to the ground" is rather compelling.I suspect they wouldn't be as famous as they are OTL....
..is there any actual archaeological evidence that S&G existed?
There are references to them in contemporary cuneiform texts. Now, clearly that doesn't mean that the events that brought their downfall unfolded precisely as they did in the book of Genesis, but there's no reason to assume that they didn't exist.Did they actually exist or are they just biblical allegory? If they existed, what historian can actually verify them? Personally I don't think that they really existed at all.
They invented junk mail. They kept sending sealed cuneiform tablets to the other four Cities of the Plain which, when opened, contained offers of the aphrodisiacs "necessary to keep all of your wives pleased all night long," penis enlargment, correspondence degrees at the University of Gomorrah, and invitations to the Gomorrah Casino.We might actually find out just what the Hell they got up to in Gommorah that was so bad?
It got to the point where the average Sodomite was receiving forty pounds or more of tablets a day in junk mail.
