If you turn left from looking at the sulfur you can see the remains of the roman armies that attacked Masada. I lived in Israel for 4 years and saw a whole lot of it as you can imagine.
The fire and brimstone came from volcanoes. Sorry, I doubt very much your mind would be changed but that's the fact of the thing. BTW, they present those features as if they were buildings, they are definitely NOT buildings, they are left over features that were a little bit stronger and are still there after many eons of weathering.
They could cut those structures up all the way through top to bottom and find nothing but sulfur and such, not a building at all. The charcoal they found made them convinced they were the remains of buildings but if so you would find more than one square inch, like boards burned up ten feet long if it was a building. There are always tree stumps and such in volcanic magma. They just made up suppositions based on fairy tales. Those features were there way longer than mankind was a twinkle in the Earth's eye.
If you don't think sulfur can come from volcanoes look at this link:

i have seen this before, it is a shame that they block it off so no one can see it. i wonder why that is?
would rather nothing come out about it because they believe the true
line from Abraham chosen by God of the Savior of the world is through
Ishmael.

destroyed in a manner like this. A volcano may have produced this if
you prefer, but does that prove the cities never existed because you
think it was not described as you would have done it?
Originally posted by RJHindsI never said those cities never existed. Where did you get that idea? I said if those structures were the remains of buildings, the charcoal remains would have been a lot more than 1 square inch. Try getting your reading comprehension down before making these statements.
