Sodom and Gomorrah in Sicily

Magus

The Force is Strong With This One
The Bible hints that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed in a Volcanic eruption, the problem is that there is no active volcanoes in Canaan or Syria, no where, the only Active volcanoes are in the Mediterranean.

Mount Etna is an active volcano in Sicily, historically it erupted in 122BCE and 396BCE.

A particularly violent explosive (Plinian) summit eruption occurred in 122 BC, and caused heavy tephra falls to the southeast, including the town of Catania

The word 'Catania' broken down as CTN
CTN > CDN > CDM ( Codom ) bear in the mind 'Sodom' in Phoenician is XDM and written in Greek as Xodom.

Gomorrah in Phoenician is written 'Omre' which could refer to the Sicilian
city of 'Himera' or the Sicilian city of 'Kamarina'.

Sodom : Catania
Gomorrah : Himera / Kamarina
 
Mount Etna.

The name ETNA is derived from the Phoenician 'Attuna' meaning Furnace
which relates to the Greek 'Aitho' (burn). These are also similar descriptions of Mount Sinai (XINI) which is also called Mount Elohim, which evoked the term "Elymi", which is an ancient name for Sicily.
 
Kamarina (Greek: Καμὰρινα, Italian: Camarina) was an ancient city on the southern coast of Sicily in southern Italy. The ruins of the site and an archaeological museum are located south of the modern town Scoglitti, a frazione of the comune Vittoria in the province of Ragusa.

Just before the Carthaginians razed Kamarina in the 5th century BC, the Kamarinians were plagued with a mysterious disease. The marsh of Kamarina had protected the city from its hostile neighbors to the north. It was suspected that the marsh was the source of the strange illness and the idea of draining the marsh to end the epidemic became popular (the germ theory of disease was millennia in the future, but some people associated swamps with disease). The town oracle was consulted. The oracle advised the leaders not to drain the marsh, suggesting the plague would pass with time. But the discontent was widespread and the leaders opted to drain the marsh against the oracle's advice. Once it was dry, there was nothing stopping the Carthaginian army from advancing. They marched across the newly drained marsh and razed the city, killing every last inhabitant.

This evoked the story of Moses, which depicted with an army travelling across the 'Red Sea'... Red Sea in Hebrew is "YAM XUP" but the Phoenician term "XUP" does not mean Red, but "MARSH" and in the Book of Joshua, this Marsh(Red Sea)
did not split in two, but dried out.

Joshua 4:23
For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red (XUP) sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
