Shepherds' archaeological research team is on the ground! We are partnering with Dr. Konstantinos Politis, Dr. Titus Kennedy, and Joel Kramer to conduct a dig in the region of the Five Cities of the Plain (see Genesis 18-19). Of these five cities, four have been positively identified, including Sodom and Gomorrah—and all four were covered in ash. The specific intent of this dig is to identify the location of the ancient city of Zoar, the city where Lot fled with his family!
