Did a volcano part the Red Sea? Have scientists found Eve? Did the Jordan River really cease flowing the day Jericho fell?
Charles Pellegrino, an author, scientist, and adventurer who has been called "the real Indiana Jones," takes us on a remarkable journey through ancient lands to explore the unsolved mysteries of the Old Testament. Return to Sodom and Gomorrah is an epic saga of discovery that is also the first book ever to bring archaeologists, scientists and theologians together to examine the same evidence. In this revelatory adventure, Pellegrino introduces us to dedicated pioneers like Benjamin Mazar, Leonard Woolley, and T. E. Lawrence. In the process, he helps us to see ancient relics in an extraordinary new light -- as fascinating windows on both our past and our future.
Charles Pellegrino has been known to work simultaneously in entomology, forensic physics, paleogenetics, advanced rocket system design, astrobiology, and marine archaeology. The author of eighteen books of fiction and nonfiction, including Unearthing Atlantis, Dust, Ghosts of the Titanic, and the New York Times bestseller Her Name, Titanic, he is also the scientist whose dinosaur cloning "recipe" inspired Michael Crichton's best-selling novel Jurassic Park. He lives in New York City.
"History comes alive ... Charles Pellegrino takes us along on an adventure, out into space and down into the bowels of the Earth, back to the dawn of time and ultimately, forward into the future." -- Jewish World Review
