The cairn burial (or tumulus tomb), that dated to the Early Bronze Age III (2650-2300 BCE), was the latest burial form found at the site. [21] They were above-ground circular tombs made from mudbrick (circular charnel houses) in which were found evidence of various mortuary practices.
Sodom and Gomorrah by John Martin. In the Abrahamic religions, Sodom and Gomorrah (/ ˈ s ɒ d ə m /; / ɡ ə ˈ m ɒr ə /) were two cities destroyed by God for their wickedness. [1] Their story parallels the Genesis flood narrative in its theme of God's anger provoked by man's sin (see Genesis 19:1–28).

Lut's messages were ignored by the inhabitants, prompting Sodom and Gomorrah's destruction. Though Lut left the city, his wife was asked to be left behind by angels hence died during the destruction.

Hormos prepares the seed of the great Seth in a holy vessel, and Seth brings his seed to be sown in the aeons. The place where this seed was sown is known as Sodom, which some believe is the pasture of the great Seth, while others believe Seth took the plant out of Gomorrah and planted it in the second place, which he named Sodom.
