May/June 2017 Lite challenge: Sodom in the time of Abraham and Lot

[Tonnichiwa]

Hello everyone.

This summer I would like to take a trip to the country of Jordan and check out the Archaeological Dig that has been going on there since 2005 of the Biblical City of Sodom. It is now called Tall El Hammam.

But since I cannot afford to go over there, I will just settle for mapping out the city from the time of Abraham and Lot. So here is my WIP.

Just thought I'd share what I know since I have the pleasure of living just in Jordan's neighbouring country, Israel.
there are the two cities of Sodom & Gommorah, both cities were described as the most prosperous settlements in the whole middle east at the time, with milk and wine flowing while everywhere else people were struggling to get water.
both cities were built on two hills overlooking the dead sea.
The only problem with the cities was the population, lowlife scum and outlaws infest the city and rule it.
I hope I gave atleast one bit of information you did not know, and i wish you luck on the contest!

Looks like you might have to employ a few bodyguards to be safe, Tony!

Nice start

Just one thing at this early stage - the text is ever so slightly dominating right now. Maybe reduce it a bit and give more space to the map? I don't know.

[Tonnichiwa]

Thanks Hart. Yeah, I knew they were very bad people.

Thanks Mouse. The text isn't actually going to be staying. I put it there to give the story to people during the building stage of the map. By the time the map is done, the text may disappear.

LOL! No wonder I found it so diverting!

Vacation at Sodom & Gommorah, just like going to Vegas!! Good start T! Thanks for entering the challenge.

[Tonnichiwa]

Thanks Bogie. Yeah, this place is a bit more scary than Vegas I think. From the archaeological dig and from documents found in other places that were near but not on the Kikkar Disc, by all accounts, these were some pretty horrible people. They made Isis look like angels I guess.

On a side note, it has been found that Architectural reliefs have shown that Sodom had an affinity with Minoan Crete, which disappeared around the same time Sodom was destroyed.

Great intro, I can't wait to see what you are planning !

[DanielHasenbos]

Very good start en some nice back story!

[Mouse]

So, basically, if you get on God's nerves a bit too much he/she/it throws a pretty big rock at you from space... and hits a bulls-eye?

*Mouse shudders*

Looking forward to seeing it develop, Tony
