@LiberalCumquat (This story of LOT is also interesting and I don't know, how you came to include it here...?)
The story of Sodom and Gomorrah (as misspelled by greeks) is also interesting... It's same or less historical than King Arthur or other legends...
Instead, it is a Parable or a Prophetic Warning...
"Sodom" means "their secret" and "Amera" means "tyrannical". "Lot" means "veil" i.e. "hidden".
When "Veil" is removed from "Their Secret" (Conspiracy) of "Tyranny", the 'disaster' happens, and both the "Secret" and "Tyranny" are destroyed...
[(And by some coincidence it is chapter 19...)]
... (and there is also another explanation and there is probably a reason why text in Mt11:21-24 warns against unveiling these names?)
---
And then, as an appendix, there are the two daughters, worthless to be named in their vile fornication, but their sons are named, and it has multiple explanations, as the words have multiple meanings:
One bears "Moab", which is "Desire or Lust" (H2968) or "From his Father"? (H4124), and the other bears "Ammon", which is "Darkness" (H6004) or "Tribal"? (H5971)...
Thus connected, it may mean in negative sense, that "even veiled desire of lust leads to darkness", or that "desire" and "darkness" should be "veiled" i.e. "suppressed", and it may also mean in positive sense, that the "Nation" or "Tribe" from "Fathers" should be "veiled" i.e. "protected"...
(in further Biblical texts, "Moab" usually represents "desire or lust", and "Ammon" usually represents "darkness"... most of Old Testament is not a History, but a collection of Parables and Prophecies...)
