POPSMafia Hit on CCTV Journalist Roberto Saviano, who has a permanent armed escort since exposing the activities of the Naples mafia in his best selling book Gomorrah, called the killing a "classic Camorra hit, very well planned and executed without fanfare". He added that the video "shows what little value these people have for human life," in a recorded commentary posted on la Repubblica's website. "The thing that strikes you," he said, "is the absolute serenity of the killer."

POPSResearchers Explain the Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah Searching for Sodom and Gomorrah - http://www.bib-arch.org/e-features/sodom-and-gomorrah.asp "As suggested by Amos Frumkin in his May/June 2009 BAR article on the salt pillar known as Lot’s Wife, the Sodom story told in the Bible likely represents an ancient memory of a single catastrophic event that affected the cities and peoples of the Dead Sea region nearly 4,000 years ago." Really interesting article.

POPSAdvertising Gone Wild: Group Sex Implied This ad is on a billboard in NYC. In case you missed what the ad is actually selling, there is, in small print, in opaque typeface, the words Calvin Klein Jeans. In my opinion this ad is in extremely poor taste, mainly for where it is displayed. I personally do not understand how an orgy scene could possibly sell jeans, or any other clothing for that matter, but I realize I am not among their target audience. They obviously think they are so much more sophisticated than someone of my age group. And, I realize that simply by objecting to it identifies me as a member of that group. I can already hear some of you screaming that I am an oppressor of ‘freedom of speech’ as soon as I say this ad is inappropriate to be placed in such a public place. So bring it on. I have never considered myself a prude, I am not for censorship unless it lends itself to the corruption of minors, as this ad clearly does.

POPSArchaeology: Tall el-Hammam May Be Sodom "It would be unthinkable to ignore the possibility that Tall el-Hammam may be Sodom or Admah". The Director of the dig continues: If rigorous scholarship and responsible, objective archaeology confirm a link between Tall el-Hammam and Sodom (or between Tall Nimrin and Admah) or other possible biblical associations, then so be it. If the same approach suggests that some such connections are not warranted, then so be it. But we must not hide from the possibilities because of bias one way or the other. As A. J. Ayer's verification principle requires of any assertion, we must state clearly the criteria whereby any hypothesis can be verified and/or falsified, then follow the evidence wherever it leads. This is the strict method of science.

POPSResearchers: Asteroid Destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah Mark Hempsell, one of the researchers from Bristol University who cracked the tablet's code, said: "It's a wonderful piece of observation, an absolutely perfect piece of science." Dr Hempsall said that at least 20 ancient myths record devastation of the type and on the scale of the asteroid's impact, including the Old Testament tale of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the ancient Greek myth of how Phaeton, son of Helios, fell into the River Eridanus after losing control of his father's sun chariot.

POPSA Dead Sea a dead sea under ONE god .... ;-) from the articles: The unusually warm, incredibly buoyant and mineral-rich waters have attracted visitors since ancient times, including King Herod the Great and the beautiful Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra. All of whom have luxuriated in the Dead Sea’s rich, black, stimulating mud and floated effortlessly on their backs Names of the Sea Known in the Bible as the "Salt Sea" or the "Sea of the Arabah," this inland body of water is appropriately named because its high mineral content allows nothing to live in its waters. Other post-biblical names for the Dead Sea include the "Sea of Sodom," the "Sea of Lot," the "Sea of Asphalt" and the "Stinking Sea." In the Crusader period, it was sometimes called the "Devil's Sea." All of these names reflect something of the nature of this lake.

POPSWhy Archaeology of Holy Lands is So Important I recommend Norman Cantor's sizzling history of Judaeism, 'The Sacred Chain', a bit dated now but shows how such work has demonstrated that the first millennium or so of received Jewish 'history' is fable rather than factual.
